10 Terrible CGI Horror Movie Moments You Can't Unsee

10. Some Rubbery Fights - Blade II

It isn't just viewers who were left wincing a touch throughout one particular moment in the second outing for Wesley Snipes' Blade. Director Guillermo del Toro also wasn't a fan of the CGI used to create a bit of the titular vampire hunter's fight with Nyssa (Leonor Varela).

As revealed in Blade II's DVD commentary, del Toro even admitted (at 21:15 in the clip below) that he wished he'd opted for motion capture in hindsight when putting together the final moments of the super athletic battle between Blade and the ninjas in front of a wall of lights.

What makes that terrible-looking stretch stand out for all the wrong reasons is that a good chunk of this thrilling fight is very much practical. Snipes and his fellow performers executed the fast-paced and intense choreography superbly, throwing boots and blades in a way that gave you no choice but to lock into the action.

In relying on some rubbery and incredibly unrealistic digital fisticuffs to bring the showdown to an end, though, much of the excellent action that came before it was suddenly overshadowed by this dodgy CGI. 

Sure, this was almost 25 years ago and the technology wasn't anywhere near the level it is today. But had del Toro actually gone down the motion capture route, there's at least a chance this cartoonish moment would have looked a little more authentic - it may have aged a bit better, too.
