10 More Movies So Awful They Were Pulled From Cinemas

1. Pimp

Undoubtedly, Pimp is one of the worst movies ever made. The passion project written, directed and produced by Robert Cavanah and starring Danny Dyer pretty much put every foot wrong, lined with a narrative as ugly as the film's visuals.

Name any aspect of filmmaking and this flick royally f***s it up. The script is a mess, the acting is wooden and the film is shot in such a haphazardly handled way that it genuinely becomes disorientating. Predictably, it was devoured by critics upon release, and the movie was pulled after a single public screening, where it brought in a whopping total box-office gross of £205.

Do the maths and assume that the average ticket cost around £9 and that means about 20 people got to see this film in all its glory.

Not one to go down without a fight though, the flick's star gave as good as he got back to critics, going as far to even say he'd head-butt Mark Kermode, one of the movie's harshest opposers, should he ever see him.
