Nukie is the worst film ever made, (with proof)


Nukie is without a doubt the worst film ever created.

awful acting. check.

terrible plot and dialogue. check.

poor editing, camera-work, sound, lighting, etc. check check check.

but what really proves how bad this movie is, is how few people have seen it, or even know that it exists.
first off, there isn't even a wikipedia entry on it, this seems like a stupid point, but really, wikipedia has everything. a movie has to be really, really bad to not be in wikipedia.

even here on imdb it's evident, only 432 total votes, as well as the lack of comments here on the message board. its so bad it couldn't even get more than ten posts about how bad it is.

it's fair to say, Nukie is so bad, you've never even heard of it.

made in the late 80's/early 90s, it seemed to be cashing in on the success of ET, not unlike Mac and Me, but if Mac and Me was the failed business of that cash in; then Nukie was the homeless drunk who couldn't even begin to think of a business. (Nukie is even so bad i must resort to bad analogies.)

damn you Nukie, for making me type this, and damn you for making movies that much worse.

I liked Nukie, it was so bad it was hilarious. If you think Nukie was bad check out:

The Room (by Tommy Wiseau, released in 2003)
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie
Troll 2
Troll
The Peanut Butter Solution
Birdemic: Shock and Terror (released in 2010 so I realize you couldn't have known about it when you made this post in 2008).
Munchies
Ghoulies
In Search of the Wow Wow Wibble Woggle Wazzie Woodle Woo
Little Bigfoot
Little Monsters

I have actually owned this movie for about 10 years and LOVE IT. Why? It's probably the weirdest film I've ever seen. That is, given that the creators actually tried to make a cohesive children's movie. I've seen other "so bad they're amazing" films, but NONE are on par with Nukie. It's just got it's own special brand of goddawful that sets it apart from everything else.

Let's put it this way, I can easily sit through Troll 2. Nukie, on the other hand? Far more challenging. Even with a talking monkey.

Even though the "Hal" type computer in this is surprisingly amusing^
I absolutely love to hate this movie to. At the age of 5 or 6 i was both bored AND intrigued about how bizarre it was...that says a lot.

Every single movie you listed there was better than Nukie.

If your idea of a movie being the worst ever made is because of a lack of a Wikipedia page - then there's no hope for you. Plenty of fun and more obscure films don't have a page (though this one does stink). Here's 10 "proven" worse movies:

Revenge Quest
Night of Horror
The Brainsucker
Dracula vs Frankenstein
Wizard of Mars
Fatal Exam
Alien Beasts
Manos
Blood Freak
Spartacus and the 10 Gladiators

"Runners Up" include:

The Worm Eaters
Crazy Fat Ethel 2
Invasion From Inner Earth (aka They)

The point is...Nukie and most of the movies on the IMDB bottom 100 are far from the worst. Open your horizons a little bit.
