    MILLION DOLLAR MOVIES THAT WENT STRAIGHT TO DVD

    Ever wondered why big named celebs have movies that ended up going straight to the DVD bargain bin?

  • <p>Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson - arguably the biggest action star around and owner of the most democratic elbow in sports. Liam Hemsworth - the hunk of the ‘Hunger Games’ and younger brother to Thor himself. Producers didn’t seem to know their audience, and ended up without one. Maybe the Rock fans and the Hemsworth-ites cancelled each other out? Action just shouldn’t be pretty, right?</p>

    EMPIRE STATE (2013)

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson - arguably the biggest action star around and owner of the most democratic elbow in sports. Liam Hemsworth - the hunk of the ‘Hunger Games’ and younger brother to Thor himself. Producers didn’t seem to know their audience, and ended up without one. Maybe the Rock fans and the Hemsworth-ites cancelled each other out? Action just shouldn’t be pretty, right?

  • <p>The loose and cliche Snipes paired with the stern and ruthless Stratham with ever-so-serious Phillippe should have made a kick-ass movie! But unfortunately the totally hyped up movie fell short of its potential. Sorry boys... next time - maybe.</p>

    CHAOS (2005)

    The loose and cliche Snipes paired with the stern and ruthless Stratham with ever-so-serious Phillippe should have made a kick-ass movie! But unfortunately the totally hyped up movie fell short of its potential. Sorry boys... next time - maybe.

  • <p>With a cast like Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, Justin Timberlake, and LL Cool J it should have been a good movie. JT may have brought sexy back but someone needs help the man out! Okay... to be fair it was his first film role.</p>

    EDISION (2005)

    With a cast like Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, Justin Timberlake, and LL Cool J it should have been a good movie. JT may have brought sexy back but someone needs help the man out! Okay... to be fair it was his first film role.

  • <p>‘The Pianist’ Oscar winner Adrien Brody, still in cinemas taking on Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Predators’, ‘Taken’ star Maggie Grace and Forest Whitaker. ‘The Experiment’ took Oliver Hirschbiegel’s bleak original and watered it down to bland. Plus Brody’s tough-man act was literally unbelievable – as in no one believed it.</p>

  • <p>'Heroes' and 'Nashville' star Hayden Panettiere, Solange Knowles and Francia Raisa shake it up in the sequel to the iconic Bring It On series. It's probably the most famous out of all the other BIO sequels but it still wasn't enough to hit the big screens.</p>

    BRING IT ON: ALL OR NOTHING (2006)

    'Heroes' and 'Nashville' star Hayden Panettiere, Solange Knowles and Francia Raisa shake it up in the sequel to the iconic Bring It On series. It's probably the most famous out of all the other BIO sequels but it still wasn't enough to hit the big screens.

  • <p>Rapper-turned-actor 50 Cent, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and double Oscar winner/full time movie legend Robert De Niro. Obviously a star vehicle for 50 Cent, there’s no doubt method-acting masters De Niro and Whitaker were hardly stimulated by the source material. They looked bored.</p>

    FREELANCERS (2012)

    Rapper-turned-actor 50 Cent, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and double Oscar winner/full time movie legend Robert De Niro. Obviously a star vehicle for 50 Cent, there’s no doubt method-acting masters De Niro and Whitaker were hardly stimulated by the source material. They looked bored.

  • <p>Anne Hathaway fresh off teeny ‘Princes Diaries’ success, Joseph Gordon-Levitt being slick and ‘Terminator’s’ Michael Biehn… remember him? Hathaway’s break for adult acting (including a nude scene and drug taking) made for an uncomfortable, and un-buyable, watch. Plus, the rich girl “slumming it” theme? Been there, seen that.</p>

    HAVOC (2005)

  • <p>Where do we start... how about the name? urmm...really? Besides that the film is like any other Rom-Com with its hilariously awkward moments and adorable love story.</p>

    BUYING THE COW (2002)

    Where do we start... how about the name? urmm...really? Besides that the film is like any other Rom-Com with its hilariously awkward moments and adorable love story.

  • <p>Christina Milian and Holland Roden star in another sequal to the Bring It On franchise. The story flips the situation of Bring It On: All or Nothing... it's pretty much more of the same but it's a good chick flick to watch at home. This was made to be an STD.</p>

    BRING IT ON: FIGHT TO THE FINISH (2009)

  • <p>A pre ‘Magic Mike’ but equally lady-luring Channing Tatum, Katie Holmes, Ray Liotta and in-the-running-for greatest actor of our time Al Pacino. A disastrous screening at the Sundance Film Festival, walkouts and all, sealed ‘The Son Of No One’s’ fate. Apparently just one person clapped. Awkward.</p>

    SON OF NO ONE (2011)

  • <p>Bruce Willis and Henry Cavill together? This should have been good, and it was... sort of. The actors did the best with the script that was given to them but it just didn't take well.</p>

    THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY (2012)

    Bruce Willis and Henry Cavill together? This should have been good, and it was... sort of. The actors did the best with the script that was given to them but it just didn't take well.

  • <p>As much as we'd love to love this it's pretty hard to do so cause the script was just too weak. It's a good stay at home flick though!</p>

    THE DARWIN AWARDS (2006)

    As much as we'd love to love this it's pretty hard to do so cause the script was just too weak. It's a good stay at home flick though!

  • <p>Matthew McConaughey before to his rom-com disaster days, Kate Beckinsale fresh out of ‘Underworld’, Patricia Arquette and the great Gary Oldman… playing a dwarf. Producers pulled Theatrical release plans after the appallingly insensitive movie caused mass walk-outs at Sundance. Those that stayed probably spend the remaining time screaming “What were you thinking?!” at the screen. So, so bad</p>

  • <p>This one was funny... The movie was released in theaters the same day it was released on video? What an incentive!</p>
