I said yes right away because it meant working with Meryl Streep. Secondly, I saw the show with my family in London, and found it just so wonderfully happy and joyful, and so pitched in time forever in the 1970s.

According to the news, Kurt Russell’s kung fu movie Big Trouble in Little China was named the worst productions ever. The movie beat the raunchy comedy Porky and Showgirls in the US magazine Maxin’ worst movie ever made poll. The top 10 as follows: 1. Big Trouble in Little China, 2. Porky’s, 3. Showgirls, 4. Dolemite, 5. Dead Alive, 6. Billy Madison, 7. The Island of Dr Moreau, 8. Commando, 9. Missing in Action, 10. Best of the Best.

Big Trouble in Little China is a bad film - but it’s a long way from being the very worst,” he commented. Where on the list are crimes against cinema like Glitter, Basic Instinct 2, Pluto Nash or every movie Madonna has been in? My vote for worst movie ever made goes to the sci-fi film Battlefield Earth.
