10 Directors Who Are Locked In Movie Jail

7. Ron Underwood

The Director: The man who brought the world Tremors should never be forgotten, and while Underwood never scaled those heights again he did deliver some entertaining family movies in his heyday. The Crime: You may have never heard of The Adventures Of Pluto Nash, a terrible science fiction comedy starring Eddie Murphy as a nightclub owner on the moon. While that sure sounds like a recipe for laughter, the film was a garish, annoying mess where no humour could be found. The only reason anyone remembers Plato Nash is that it just might be the most expensive failure in cinema history; it cost well over $100 million to make and market, but grossed less than a tenth of that worldwide. Those are the kinds are numbers that can kill a promising career really quick. The Sentence: Underwood did a couple of poorly received movies before moving to TV, where he did something called Santa Baby 2 and a few episodes of Grey€™s Anatomy.
