10 Movies So Awful They Were Pulled From Theatres

1981's Korean War epic Inchon is one of the most legendary box office bombs of all time, especially because of its odd origins. Inchon's $46 million budget was entirely funded by Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the controversial Unification Church, who wanted to make a Korean War film that celebrated U.S. general Douglas MacArthur. 

Moon even sought a psychic to "communicate" with MacArthur's spirit to get his blessing for the movie (a fact actually touted in a press release). Acting legend Laurence Olivier played General MacArthur and he was completely open with the press that he was doing the film for the paycheck: he was paid $50,000 per day. The production was amateurish and full of problems. 

Actor David Janssen died during filming, and despite the huge budget props and scenery were made cheaply. It was directed by 1960s James Bond director Terrence Young, who regretted the entire experience.

Though shot in 1979, post-production issues kept it out of theatres until September 1982. Despite the long wait it was pulled out of theatres after only two weeks. With many reviews calling it the worst movie ever made it grossed $5.2 million in the U.S. International release plans were cancelled and it has never been officially released on any home media format. However, the laughably bad movie can be streamed on YouTube.
