Technically a "fantasy" film, but it still deserves to receive piles of ridicule for an incredible butchering: "Highlander II"
The reason why it turned out to be so bad was that the production company went bust when about 60% of the film were shot. They had some insurance company in Argentine which then sent their best and brightest insurance agents to make the decision to finish the film or to abort it, and unfortunately they decided in favor of the first option. And they knew exactly how to make it even better: The top grossing fils of all time had Aliens - so this one would need them too! They had an important message - so it had to be about the Ozone Layer! The most successful films also had CGI - so this one would need to have it (but it wasn't supposed to cost anything, since they were now operating on the insurance company's money). etc.
I only saw it once. I do not wish to see anything of it, ever, again in my life. I would rather watch Zardoz once more, and that one makes me wish to stab my eyes and ears with rusty pie forks. You gotta hand it to Sean Connery, though - he starred in two of the worst films, rivalling the then dead Ed Wood in production quality - and still acquired recognition as a half decent actor.

I should have been more specific in my original post and said the worst sci-fi films that had a medium to large budget. Those SyFy Channel movies each have a maximum budget of about one million dollars each so really how good can they be? The same goes for those ultra low budget independent films that Bib4Tuna mentioned.
I guess my point is that how sad is it that these studios pour tens of millions into making a film and it still comes out being total crap??
