The 10 Worst Sports Movies

Some of the members of the Bad Movie Squad love sports movies, others think they are a complete waste of time. Truth is, there have been a ton of these movies made in the past, and you cannot deny the fact that a lot of these were as generic as they come, boring you to tears with their 'unexpected' twists and turns, all leading up to an ending that is supposed to be exciting, but which you could see coming from the moment you looked at the movie's poster. Still, there are always certain sports movies which are worse than others, and to look at which of these are really horrible (or, to use a sports cliche ourselves: which should be benched. Or transferred. Or which should end their career. Or... Never mind, you get the picture), we asked a group of movie and sports loving friends to name the worst of them. Whatever you do: stay away from these genuine career enders!

10. Slap Shot 2: Breaking the Ice
Tagline: Aggressive hockey is back!
What can you expect from a sports movie that has Stephen Baldwin as it's most important asset? Not much, especially not when it's a straight to video sequel to a movie that has a lot of fans, who probably weren't too happy to see the memory of the original smeared by this follow-up. The few people seeing this movie agreed. Not even Gary Busey can save this piece of crap.

9. The Bad News Bears Go To Japan
Tagline: They never met an adult they couldn't drive crazy
There should be a law against bad sequels to great movies. Because while the original Bad News Bears was a movie that is still in many people's favorite sports movies list, this sequel doesn't get much love from anybody. And you cannot blame the people who saw this movie, because all the elements that made the original so great, have vanished without a trace in this second part. Great way of almost killing a franchise...

8. Caddyshack 2
Tagline: The Shack is Back
There should be a law against bad sequels to... Wait, we said that already. However, Caddyshack 2 is another prime example of a great movie that was mercilessly slaughtered for this sequel. How can you have one of the funniest sports movies in existence, and then make a sequel that is almost entirely joke free? The greed of movie studio executives, who put making money quickly above developing a script further so that it can at least have a few laugh out loud moments.

7. Rocky IV
Tagline: He's facing the ultimate challenge. And fighting for his life.
There should be a law... We're getting old, we'll admit it. We can remember loving the first three movies and being totally psyched out for this fourth one, which was probably the most hyped movie in the whole franchise. So imagine our disappointment when we found out how bad it sucked. This is not so much a sports movie as a piece of 90 minute 'The Russians are Bad' propaganda. All the charm of the previous movies is gone, replaced by cold war tactics that spread to the people watching this movie: it will leave you cold.

6. Rollerball
Tagline: Get in the Game
There should be a law against (no, wait for it) crappy remakes of great movies. And they don't get much worse than this new version of Rollerball, which left audiences cold and showed us that even renowned directors like John McTiernan can sometimes mess up horribly. If even the marketing department cannot come up with a more exciting tagline than "Get in the Game", you know your movie is in trouble.

5. Supercross
Tagline: Fear nothing, risk everything
Did anybody even see this movie? It came out in 2005, to the thunderous sound of silence in cinemas everywhere. And for good reason, since this movie is not just a total snooze, it's actually pretty insulting for the intelligence of anybody unlucky to watch it. The idea of a supercross motor racing movie is a novel one, but to then pack it full of the same old cliches, and in a bad way too...

4. Ed
Tagline: Minor league. Major friendship
Normally, the rule is that anything with a monkey in it is cool, but time and time again Hollywood has tried to make us think the opposite. Ed is one of the best examples that Hollywood has something against monkeys, since it's one of the most boring sports comedies we have ever seen. Matt LeBlanc is great in Friends, but in this movie he doesn't have any charm at all, while the chemistry between him and the monkey is completely non-existent. And please, how many cliches can you pack into a movie before it spontaneously combusts?

3. Jocks
Tagline: Champions aren't born ... they're made!
Admittedly, not many of us have seen this movie, but the ones that did hated it so much that it made this high position on the list anyway. It's all about a tennis coach who gets an ultimatum: put together a winning team or you will pay the price. What follows is your standard 1980's teen comedy, bereft of anything resembling comedy or charm. Unbelievably, Christopher Lee has a part in this movie, though you have to wonder if he had any idea what he was getting himself into when he signed up for his role.

2. Here come the Tigers
Tagline: It's a whole new ball game!
There should be a law against bad clones of great movies. Hey here's an idea! That Bad News Bears movie is such a big hit, why not make our own version, but then we'll call the team the Tigers instead of the Bears, so people have no idea we are ripping off the original so badly! But if you have characters in your movie called Art the Fart and Mike the Bod, you know that you're in trouble (although the name Art the Fart is actually the funniest joke of the whole picture).

1. Crossover
Tagline: Play by your own rules
Amazingly, the worst sports movie ever was made this year. And if you don't believe a movie made this year can suck harder than some of the monstrosities made in the 80's and 90's, just check the score on IMDB: 1.1. Almost makes you want to rent it to see if it's really that bad. Well: Don't! If crap like this can make 7 million dollars at the box office, then how much could a movie where you watch paint dry (far more interesting than anything going on here) rake in?
