12 Box Office Bombs from 1986 That You've Never Heard of.

Описание: 1986 was supposed to be Hollywood's golden year. Top Gun soared. Ferris Bueller took his day off. But behind the blockbusters, studios were haemorrhaging money on disasters they've tried to bury ever since.

In this video, we uncover 12 forgotten box office flops from 1986 that lost hundreds of millions of dollars combined. These aren't the famous failures you've heard about. These are the films that vanished from history.

Sky Bandits was the most expensive British independent film ever made at the time, featuring Wild West outlaws fighting World War One in zeppelins. It employed a record-breaking 582 person crew and still flopped spectacularly.

Power somehow united Sidney Lumet, Richard Gere, Gene Hackman, Julie Christie, and Denzel Washington into one political thriller that absolutely nobody saw. What went wrong at its Sundance premiere will shock you.

Tai Pan spent twenty years in development with Steve McQueen, Sean Connery, and Roger Moore all attached at different times. None of them ended up on screen.

Blue City reunited The Breakfast Club stars Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy for a noir thriller that earned five Razzie nominations. But the director's later career took an unbelievable turn.

American Anthem tried to turn an Olympic gold medallist into the next Prince. It holds a perfect 0% on Rotten Tomatoes to this day.
Solarbabies featured roller skating orphans in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and nearly bankrupted comedy legend Mel Brooks. He had to take out a second mortgage on his house.

Pirates was Roman Polanski's twelve year obsession that burned through $40 million and earned back less than $2 million. The ship they built became more famous than the movie itself.

King Kong Lives was a punchline in America but somehow became the number one film in the Soviet Union with 53.6 million tickets sold.

Club Paradise assembled Robin Williams, Peter O'Toole, Rick Moranis, and Eugene Levy into one Caribbean comedy that made the co-writer demand his name be removed from the credits.

Shanghai Surprise paired Madonna and Sean Penn in a production so chaotic that George Harrison had to fly in for damage control at a press conference the tabloids dubbed "Flop Suey."

SpaceCamp was completed just hours before a national tragedy made it unwatchable. The young cast included a future Oscar winner making his film debut.

Haunted Honeymoon was a comedy legend's final film, made while she unknowingly battled an illness that would claim her life three years later. This one hits different.

From studio bankruptcies to career resurrections, from Soviet blockbusters to floating museum ships, these twelve disasters prove that sometimes Hollywood's biggest failures tell the most fascinating stories.
