Worst Science
High-Velocity Bullcrap A woman says in awe of the scientist: "You're the one who pioneered high-velocity magnetism!" Don't ask me what the heck that is -- I thought magnetism worked at pretty much any speed.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Acting

Must Be the Director's Kid I know that children have less experience than adults, but there are actually a lot of talented youngsters out there. You'd think that a production company could find one of those. Instead, we get this little girl (who, due to her less-than-credited performance, we think is Kelly Worrell). Her performance is only slightly more enjoyable than listening to nails across a blackboard with stereo headphones. The main character calls her up for help. She's playing video games. "You're gonna rrreally owe me for this one," she drawls annoyingly. She even graces us with her very, very bad James Doohan (Star Trek's Scotty) impression.
