Top 25 Worst Sports Movies

Rocky V was a bag of shit. I loved I-IV for all their cheese and greatness, but V was horrible beyond belief. So horrible. Epic fail.

 

Rocky V is the winner, hands down, simply because of how much better VI was.

You want a bad sports movie, rent Semi-Pro. What a piece of shit film. Oh, and while we're at it, The Legend of Bagger Vance was shit, Any Given Sunday was shit and every Air Bud movie was a piece of shit but nothing in this category compares to that god-awful piece of steaming shit Two For The Money. What a waste of my life.

And while we're talking shit films, I'd love to go back in time and punch the directors of every Like Mike, Fast and the Furious (racing's a sport, right?) and Angels in the Outfield spinoff in the f**king face.

I'll end with some positives though. Space Jam was awesome when I was a kid, Major League is the shit and the Replacements is fun. That's it. Ta ta.

 

hackman is horrible.

 

One of the better posts I've seen on here in a while.

 

What, did we interrupt you guys' bingo meeting? How many times do you need to be told? Mr. Hackman had a conflict.

 

WHY DO YOU ALL HATE AMERICA?

 

Guys ... That was in Rocky IV.. the best of the series - and the best movie soundtrack evah!.

 

Field Of Dreams.
Nothing is fucking close.

 

Rollerball was 'way ahead of its time.

How could they overlook such offal as Rudy and Fear Strikes Out?

 

We both know a certain nine-year-old that would not agree with that.

 

Rocky IV is kind of overrated.

Everyone remembers how cool Drago was and forgets about the effing Robot.

 

Rookie of the Year has some ridiculous cheesiness (the Cubs play the Mets in a one-game playoff for the right to go to the World Series? In the pre-wild card era?). But there were some great moments that reminded me of when I was a kid (Ooops! I dropped the ball. I dare ya to run)

Neccessary Roughness is good for a couple of laughs, and has Kathy Ireland in a shower scene. Not a great movie, but not horrible.

Uecker is absolutely hilarious in MLII. Not as good as the first ML (and why was Rene Russo only in just one scene?), but it was pretty funny.

A couple other films that belong on the list:

1. Karate Kid III. The Next Karate Kid is bad. But the utter crappyness that is KKIII is just plain awful. As Bill Simmons has described, a millionaire decides to devote valuable time to beat up a 19-year-old karate champion who spends most of his time hanging out with a 60-70-year-old man and who can't even keep a girlfriend.

2. Ready to Rumble. Yeah, it's a pro wrestling flick, so it may not neccesarily be considered a sports film. But the fact that WCW devoted hours of TV time to promote it, and made David Arquette their world champion puts it high on the list. And the movie sucked, too.

3. Safe at Home. A kid decides to tell his friends that he's buddies with Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. Told to prove it, the kid hitchhikes to Florida for spring training, where he meets his idols. Ugh.
