Vanilla Ice made his big-screen debut in this cinematic turd that earned just over $1m at the box office, earned seven Razzie nominations (including a 'win' for Worst New Star for the lead actor) and saw the director disown the final product. The worst sin of all comes with a head-scratchingly stupid tagline that makes a mockery of basic science. Melting a heart of stone shouldn't be too tricky; magma is generally at a temperature of between 700 and 1300 degrees Celsius. Doing it with ice? Well, that's just silly. In trying to come up with a cool tagline that incorporates the actor's name, the tagline just comes across as plain idiotic. To any budding scientists out there; if you try and melt stone with ice, you could be at it for a long time.
4. Clash Of The Titans (2010)
Long before the shoddy 3D post-conversion gave cinema audiences around the world headaches, Louis Letterier's Clash of the Titans was already creatively bankrupted thanks to one of the laziest, and misinformed, taglines in history. I'm sure there were plenty of high-fives thrown around the meeting room when they came up with that one. Working the title into the tagline could possibly work for several movies that contain 'of the'; 'The Planet of the Apes Will Rise' kind of makes sense, for instance. However, despite being called 'Clash of the Titans', there are no Titans in the movie. So that already negates the possibility of any of them clashing. Someone must have caught wind of the backlash, because the tagline quickly disappeared into the background following the first teaser trailer.
I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
