I actually watched half of this the other night on Comcast On Demand. It's true that this is one of the worst movies ever made. I remember seeing it as a kid and the only thing I liked about it then was Aeorsmith's Come Together and Steve Martin's goofy version of Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
I had to try and watch it again to see if it really was as bad as I remembered, and damn if I wasn't right.
If you like bad moviews check it out.

guess,you never saw The Color Purple.My wife still owes me for making me go see that over 20 years ago. I thought it was ending about 4 times.I'll never get those 3 hours back.
The colro purple was taxing, but this turd of a movie was bad alround- production values, singing, set design, clothes, cast, etc.. The only redeming value I saw of the movie is that its a good piece of junk nastalgia from 1978
Was it as bad as Xanadu or Can't Stop the Music?
No movie is as bad as Xanadu. I was dating a girl who loved it, we went to see it twice. Gene Kelly was the only thing decent about it. Olivia-Newton John as a roller skating muse?? Xanadu is my all time choice for worst movie, I still cannot believe I paid to see it twice.
Eons ago, I used to do celebrity journalism. When "Sgt. Pepper" was about to come out, I interviewed the actresses who played Strawberry Fields and Lucy. Both were unknowns, both were anticipating huge career breakthroughs. Never saw or heard of either of them again.
oh ,i forgot,Ishtar, Out of Africa ,Reds.
Santa Claus Goes To Mars is better than all of them .And I am being quite serious.
Beatty and Hoffman acted like they had too much coke on the set and were perhpas exploring each other off camera (in Ishtar).
Heavens Gate
"Monster-in-Law" with Jane Fonda and J-Lo is the worst movie ever made. Hard to believe that a two-time Oscarwinner came out of a 20-year retirement to make a piece of swill that makes you cringe every moment of the way.
All This and World War II was another turkey.
Did anyone actually buy the Sgt Pepper film soundtrack?

I think Ishtar was, overall, pretty funny. The songs are priceless. Elaine May is no dummy. Far from the best comedy of its era but several notches better than most mainstream comedies these days.
Agreed though that movie in the subject line was just a horrific celluloid pap(per) smear.

If there was something - anything - decent about it, it was better than Sgt. Peppers, which had no redeeming value whatsoever.
BTW, I never saw Xanadu, but I believe that it sucked in a huge way.
Can't stop the Music actaully as a cult following among the gay population as it is so campy..
I once read a list of the Worst Movies ever made and Sgt. Pepper's topped the list and the comment accompanyint the number one worst ranking was "I don't want to be in Robert Stigwood's Shoes on Judgement day"
Eat a few more peyote buttons. The movie becomes quite interesting after they kick in!
If you don't believe me, just watch it. It's so terribly horrible. I mean they had George Burnes singing "Fixing a Hole"!!!!!
Some of these movies are a little before my time, but are you saying that they are worse than "Battlefield Earth"!? I might have to check them out...
