8 People You Won't Believe Won Razzie Awards
2. Ronald McDonald
Jennifer Aniston made her film debut as an extra in Mac And Me (1988), an ET rip-off about about a handicapped boy who befriends an alien called MAC (short for Mysterious Alien Creature). Ronald McDonald also appears (as Himself) during a party scene set in a McDonalds, which is little more than a shameless plug for the company.
The Razzies werent fooled by this bit of self-promotion and at their 9th annual ceremony, they nominated the picture in 4 categories, from which it won Worst Director for Stewart Raffill (tied with Blake Edwards for Sunset) and Worst New Star for Ronald McDonald. The film has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls the picture a thinly-veiled feature length commercial for McDonalds and Coca-Cola.
Small world dept: the actor who plays Ronald, Squire Fridell, later played the Sheriff in John Carpenters Village Of The Damned a movie about a group of abnormal children. No conclusions here, just some food for thought.
