9 Famous Actors With Incredibly Embarrassing Film Debuts

3. Angelina Jolie - Cyborg 2

The Movie: In a movie that begins with a soft-core sex scene that also features a woman exploding, the tone for this one is set pretty early. And it only goes downhill from there. For those who never saw the original Cyborg starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, know that this is in no way like that movie, and is awful in so, so many ways. It's one of those terribly-generic future Earth movies, where everyone is a robot or is about to be destroyed by a robot for some vaguely sinister reason.

The Role: Technically, Jolie first appeared in a movie 11 years prior, when her father, Jon Voight, helped land her a brief cameo in Lookin' to Get Out, a comedy he wrote and starred in. But this was the first time she actually appears as a fully-grown, willing participant (with dialogue and everything). Here, she makes her big girl debut as a cyborg who's exceptionally bad at kung fu, despite being positioned as the Neo of the film.

Jolie is given an excuse to act wooden and robotic, yet still somehow fails to be convincing. She gets by entirely on her crazy eyes, which literally never change throughout the movie. She's all kinds of bad, while still managing not to be the worst thing about the film.
