For a movie with a ridiculous budget the CGI Arnold in the last Terminator was abysmal.

I was reminded of this one today.

In Revenge of the Sith during the final fight there is a terrible shot right after Anakin and Obiwan blast each other across the room with some stupid force showdown. A horrible animated Anakin leaps across the table in the center of the room and is completely disproportionate in scale to the table and everything else in the room. It is awful.

Yeah, Leap Frog Anakin in AOTC during the Dooku duel was also pretty bad.

Well, not only that, they weren't done yet. They decided to add the bowling pin sound as well.

When I heard that, even at 16/17 years old, I knew they had fricked up the 2 sequels.

I mean seriously, who thought that was a good creative idea after the tone of the first Matrix? I can't fathom it at all.


Lol, totally forgot about the bowling pin sound. I can now hear it vividly haha.

I dunno. I think in the 3D Jason flick there is an eyeball that shoots towards the screen and you can clearly see the fishing line its on as it pops out of a rubber head.

The troll in the bathroom was pretty bad.
I recall the original centaurs were equally horrible.

IIRC that was made for 3D which might explain it.

As funny as the scene was, i thought the shark attacking Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea looked horrible.
