12 Oscar Winning Actors Who Starred In Awful Horror Movies

He might be one of Britain’s biggest film icons but when you’ve had a career as prolific as Michael Caine’s, you’re bound to be involved in a few flops and stinkers from time to time. On Deadly Ground, the first and only film directed by Steven Seagal (and for good reason), and Sandra Bullock comedy Miss Congeniality spring to mind.

But whereas those films possibly had their virtues – well, at least for Seagal or Bullock fans perhaps – one film in Caine’s career is so glaringly bad it’s hard to find any redeeming features.

Jaws: The Revenge was the fourth and thankfully final instalment in a franchise that never lived up to the hype of the original Jaws movie and stars Caine as a Bahamian pilot trying to woo the now deceased Chief Brody’s widowed wife. He’s reportedly never seen the film, but did say ‘by all accounts it is terrible’.

Funnily enough, it’s been rumoured that the reason Caine wasn’t present to pick up his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Hannah and Her Sisters was because he was busy filming reshoots for Jaws: The Revenge. Fortunately filming a B-movie horror didn’t get in the way of him accepting his second Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2000 for The Cider House Rules.
