the first one about them being funny crackheads wasn't a classic compared to Half baked.

They were neither big budget (clearly) nor disasters (popular enough for a franchise) so not really covered by this thread.

they do suck though. how many movies can be made about generic and repetive drug jokes and cliches?

As for the topic at hand, would The Abyss or Total Recall count as big budgeted disasters?I seem to recall a lot of $ was put into them, but I don't know if they can truly be classified as "disasters".
BAC
BackFire349Blood. It's nature's lube
they're known as classics, so no they arent disasters.

total recal made a good 100 mill in the Us
the abyss made about 70 mill in the US...so Gordon...no budget disaster...!

How much did abyss and total recal cost,just because they made money doesn't mean they did good.

Doesn't it? I think you will find that if a movie MAKES money then it has done just fine...
