10 Terrible Films That Are Actually Awesome

Based on the same Paula Gosling novel that inspired Cobra (1986), Fair Game is usually referred to by its own cast as “ludicrous” and “a disaster.” Critics agreed, with Leonard Maltin saying it was “arguably the worst movie of 1995.”

Then again, if you’ve ever wanted to see Cindy Crawford in a Joel Silver action movie, playing a lawyer (!?) who escapes from Russian bad guys while wearing a series of tight t-shirts, it could be the greatest movie ever made. True, she has zero chemistry with William Baldwin, but the film packs in a number of action sequences where everything explodes in impressive fireballs, including a scene where Baldwin uses a crane to dispose of a henchman with a rocket launcher (don’t ask).

Even better, the villain is played by wide-eyed Steven Berkoff, who gets to reprise his slimy foreigner act from Octopussy and go waaaay over the top. After spending the entire film trying to kill Crawford, he eventually whisks her off to his secret hideout and explains his diabolical masterplan, then seems surprised when she turns the tables and leaves him to his doom.
