Chances make champions
Movies that were quite obviously, or you are aware of, that were made strictly for the money and the product itself reflected that because of quality, casting, or actors mailing it in
The two most obvious to me are Godfather 3 and Matrix resurrections.
Godfather 3 is well documented; Coppola was broke as fukk again, the studio WAS GONNA make the movie, they had to get it out by Christmas 1990, and they cut corners on casting that were inexcusable.
They paid Pacino $5MM, and offered Robert Duvall $1MM which is incredibly insulting, and they wouldn't budge. So they hired fukking GEORGE HAMILTON and rewrote the movie.
They cheaped out on Mary Corleone, they offered it to Julia Roberts, Madonna, and Winona Ryder took it. Ryder was exausted and left filming...so instead of paying the other actress fits they hired...Coppola's non actress daughter. You know the rest from there. Terrible film because of these two decisions, and the entire movie was made for money, about money...and Pacino still didn't get the academy award lol
Matrix Resurrection...i mean we all just watched that shyt...they literally wove the fact that this was a cash grab INTO THE STORY on some meta shyt, which really doesn't excuse it. I have no desire to watch that shyt again....
