2. Ron Perlman – The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption
Ron Perlman is undoubtably a fantastic performer and cult icon, but he really has lent his talents to some utter tosh over the years, having at least three or four schlocky b-movies on his record for every one of his storied collaborations with Guillermo Del Toro.
These include an Uwe Boll monstrosity, the infamous Island Of Dr. Moreau that saw Marlon Brando insist on wearing an ice bucket on his head and the seventh entry in the Police Academy franchise, Mission To Moscow.
His appearances in direct-to-video/streaming productions have ramped up massively since his departure from Sons of Anarchy, where his burly and gruff demeanour gave gravitas to the role of Jax's substitute father figure/foil Clay Morrow. Such films probably keep his bank balance healthy, but have to be painful to make, with Pottersville and Run With The Hunted amongst those holding the dubious honour of having a 0% score on RottenTomatoes.
