Career Killers
 

Can anyone give an example of a performance that was so bad it was a career killer? Sometimes its bad enough to kill a career, but it doesnt. Sometimes it has nothing to do with a performance, but what theyve said or done.

I honestly wondered while watching The Happening if this film would kill Mark Wahlbergs career, and I think Mark was wondering that too.

Between the Daredevil movie and being attached to the Jennifer Lopez red carpet brigade, Ben Afflecks career was almost killed completely.

Re: Career Killers
 

I think some careers just cant be killed. Like John Waynes when he played Genghis Khan...

One Shot One Kill.

Re: Career Killers
 

^^ did he have much of a career before that though? :lol:
i mean i remember him from a show called higher ground but he was never that good of an actor tbh

Re: Career Killers
 

Ive no idea who that is or from what. I remember that being Tom Berengers catch phrase from Sniper too.

It didn't kill his career but it did give him cancer.

Ryan O'Neal was a hot commodity until Oliver's Story, the disastrous sequel to the hit Love Story.

Burt Reynolds at one time might have been the biggest movie star in the world. He was already on a slight downturn, but when he paired with Clint Eastwood on the huge flop City Heat, that was pretty much the end. He would get a comeback role in Boogie Nights.

Stating Alive, the awful sequel to Saturday Night Fever, was the beginning of the end for John Travolta. He would then make one of the greatest comebacks thanks to Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction.

Batman and Robin for Alicia Silverstone.

Didn't his movies start to lose money when the western's were gone even if i liked MCQ?

Re: Career Killers
 

Sean Young's attempt to get a role in Batman Returns destroyed her respectability and her career completely.

Brigitte Nielsen's divorce to Stallone in 87 wrecked her acting career entirely.

Mike Myers in The Love Guru. All he's really done since is Shrek spin offs.

and the guy who played robin

Re: Career Killers
 

Isn't that the newer Star Wars movies? I haven't watched them, but I still believe that's it.

Yes it is. Shame on them for stealing it.

Also, I love when Mark Wahlberg talked to the plant. I thought it was funny. I'm goofy that way. :p

Re: Career Killers
 

Oh, so many!

Cutthroat Island for Geena Davis
Superman Returns for Brandon Routh
The Love Guru for Mike Myers
Mommie Dearest for Faye Dunaway
Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace for Jake Lloyd
Showgirls for Elizabeth Berkley

Catwoman didn't kill Halle Berry's career, but it did kill director Pitof's career. One and done.

Re: Career Killers
 

I don't know if it killed her career but what has Halle Berry done since Catwoman then?

Robots
X-Men: The Last Stand
Perfect Stranger
Things We Lost in the Fire
Frankie & Alice (Golden Globe nomination)
Dark Tide
Cloud Atlas
Movie 43
The Call
X-Men: Days of Future Past

She also starred in two seasons of Extant, produced by Steven Spielberg.

She has a film in post-production, Kidnap, and one in pre-production, Silence. And, she will also co-star in the Kingsman sequel coming out next year.

She also reportedly earns $10-15 million per movie.

For directors: Fantastic Four (2015) for Josh Trank.

She was an unknown anyway, but back in the 90s, Maria Ford was the biggest B movie actress.

In 1998, she agreed to be one of the main contributors to a documentary about the B movie industry called Some Nudity Required and she basically slagged off everyone she had worked with, which was quite sad to watch because she seemed almost traumatised. Anyway, no one would touch her with a barge pole after this was released, and she didn't have the ability to shift into A movies. Apparently she was in talks to appear in Grindhouse but she got a lot of plastic surgery and she looks awful now so that never materialised into anything :lol:
