This thread is about movies that look bad or really cheesy.
-Sets
-Props
-Costumes
-Make Up
I was watching The 5th Element this morning and could not believe how bad the set dressing was. The apartment of Korban Dallas (Bruce) is filled with plastic junk.
The space guns are ridiculous.
The costumes are horrible – like way horrible.
Dan Weil was the mastermind on production design for 5th Element. His other works include King Arthur (which totally misses the entire point of the Arthur legend) and was a limp attempt to replicate a period look. He achieved a Disney quality on King Arthur. But then, wasn’t Disney involved on that project?
He also did the design on Blood Diamond. Whatever that was. Was a designer needed on that movie?
Apparently the man likes to do musicals with French titles. Hmmmmm. That might explain some of his color schemes. Horrible. Another example of someone who would not work in the business if he didn’t have friends giving him a job. Most teenage girls would give you the same stuff this guy comes up with.
I look at the fuzzy dice and pink plastic crap hanging from the rear view mirror of Bruce’s taxi and I wonder if maybe they were trying to achieve the ultimate anti-Blade Runner. They got it.
Production Design is one of the most critical elements of a film.
There are many more monster designers out there destroying multi million dollar budgets.
Who else does a terrible job? Let's hear it!
