Seems odd that a 2nd unit director would not want his name in the credits. Unless it was a famous director having fun.

Thank you so much for picking this. I had never heard of this movie, so watching the trailer was a real treat.

American History X
bradler
bunkaroo

Directed by Tony Kaye. incorrect

He did try to have his name removed, but the DGA ruled against him and he is credited as the director of the film. He wanted to use the name "Humpty Dumpty", though, not "Alan Smithee".

Very proudly directed by Paul Verhoeven. Even the R-rated cut prepared for Blockbuster carries his name.

I realized I should have made my answer "Alan Smithee and the Raiders of the Lost Laserdiscs".

Here's a real popular answer:



Hellraiser 4: Bloodlines

DaveNinja
TheBang
NORML54601

Did enough people slam for a negative score?

There is no Aliens vs Predator 4. Is it a typo? A reference to a videogame? A joke answer?



incorrect
A joke/hopeful guess. I didn't know off the top of my head what movies were attributed to AS, but I think there was an AvP one. Didn't know which, so hoped there was a 4. I never followed AvP anyhow.

Congrats bunkaroo! Thanks for running the game, Crocker. At least I had some distance from the bottom.

Two straight bridesmaid finishes, but this one wasn't close so there is little to lament.

Thanks for running the game. Trying to answer some of those questions was challenging.

Thanks for the game, Crocker Jarmen and congratulations bunkaroo!

Given that this was the "End of Summer WORST of All Time SHEEP GAME," I'm going to take my bottom six position as a win.

That said, I'm ashamed of each and every participant in the game (myself included) to see that Good Burger did not get a single nod.

I would say "thanks Crocker" but I refuse to acknowledge this travesty ever happened. In fact, can I get my score and answer submissions attributed to Alan Smithee? I want my name off of this!
