Post here the film you may have seen that you found the biggest waste of two hours or however long it lasted, and for what reasons.
For me, I'm going to say Highlander II. The brilliance of the original Highlander was that it was constructed in such a way that making a sequel was impossible, yet Highlander II insisted on existing. Reportedly the director Russell Mulcahy walked out in protest at the premiere since he was unable to escape his contractual obligation to write and direct a sequel.
Continuity errors were rife, as were bits ripped off from Blade Runner, as in some of the general look of it with giant fans whirring in every background. Not to mention that silly sub-plot involving aliens who were exiled to Earth 50,000 years beforehand... yet in the first Highlander says he was "born in the year of our Lord 1541 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel." Oh, and despite Christopher Lee's character having carked it, he's back, somehow, since he wasn't REALLY dead... oh dear.
For the record, Highlanders III and IV are suitably odoriferous as well.
Right. Now it's your turn.
