12 Terrible Movies That Killed An Actor's Winning Streak

The Streak: Will Smith got off to a hot run early in his career, beginning with Six Degrees of Separation's critical success and followed by Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men in Black and Enemy of the State all tearing up the box office.

The Film That Broke It: Wild Wild West hit cinemas in the summer of 1999 amid much expectation that it would be a colossal box office smash, but it grossed only $222.1 million on a grossly inflated $170 million budget, with critics largely panning it for putting effects first and coasting on Smith's presence rather than fashioning a fun script.
