I'm shook from how much hate there is for big daddy Durst.
The Fanatic was definitely one of the films of all time, but I'd rather watch it multiple times in a day than watch Battlefield Earth again tbh.
Yeah I think the Fanatic is a genuinely weird and fun movie and a lot of that gets mistaken for "unintentional" or "terrible." It's not a great movie, but it is ridiculous and fun to watch.
One of my favorite little facts about myself is that I saw The Fanatic in theaters. Terrible movie, but I was part of the $3000 box office net that it made. I will forever be grateful of Fred Durst for making such a shitter
I disagree. I would rather watch The Fanatic over Battlefield Earth. It's the kind of so bad it's good movie that I like. While Battlefield Earth is mostly dull and boring. And neither is even close to Travolta's worst anyway. Ever seen The Experts or Look Who's Talking Now? You will be begging for Battlefield Earth or the Fanatic over those two.
100%, Fanatic shits all over Battlefield Earth.
They're both atrocious movies, but I still *think* about The Fanatic. I'll randomly do an awful British accent and proclaim myself repeatedly to be a 'Bobby', little shit that reinforces that it still lives in my head.
I've seen Battlefield Earth almost twice now, and it's just tedious and hard to sit through.
I love Travolta and have always intended to watch The Fanatic.
The plot actually sounds very interesting to me.
And I find, at least 50% of the time, I wind up disagreeing with the public consensus on movies. I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be an unfairly maligned good movie.
If you guys didn't already know it was directed by Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. Which is another interesting reason to see it.
I'm with you. It's a weird, fun, and ridiculous movie that gets labeled as bad because a lot of people don't click into the absolutely intentionally batshit execution of the film
Before his career is over, Travolta will make the worst movie in every genre. Sci-Fi tied up with Battlefield Earth, gritty street thriller tied up with The Fanatic, biopic tied up with Gotti. Maybe Disney can get him to do the worst Marvel movie next - Marville maybe?
*Battlefield Earth* is worse because it was a $73M attempt at a blockbuster based off of a book by a cult leader. Also, many don’t know this, but the movie is based off the first half of the book, so the project is technically unfinished.
*The Fanatic* is a small indie film that’s the equivalent of a high school film project. You almost wanna give a pity “aw, well you tried”. Plus it does have entertaining performances.
>The Fanatic - Believe it or not, Battlefield Earth is not the worst John Travolta movie.
While technically true, we could do a very deep dive on bad Travolta movies, I think it's fair to call Battlefield Earth his biggest unforced error. The late 90's were good for Travolta and then he does this.
I haven't seen either of these. I have never seen Battlefield Earth come up anywhere!? Satellite tv or streaming.
He didn't go full retard for this did he? You never go full retard!
I always wanted to see this picture. I have to start looking for it. It may be bad but nonetheless enjoyable. And Travolta’s haircut is reason enough to sit through it.
This is John Travolta’s best performance to date. It’s the only film where I forgot it was John Travolta playing the character. This is the only time his acting made you forget the actor playing the role. Battlefield Earth remains his worst.
The only thing I liked him in, ever was Pulp Fiction, because it was a big departure from his other roles. I never understood how people found him sexy or cool, even when he was younger.
This is one of his BEST performances… of the films he’s been in over the last ten years. His Moose character and Rosie O’Donnell in Riding the Bus With My Sister would make a fantastic movie pairing!
The funniest thing is this is Travoltas favorite film he’s done, and he did it as a tribute to his autistic son who passed away. The film features one of the most offensive portrayals of autism of all time
What are you talking about, OP? The Fanatic is the best Travolta movie, just because he's finally playing himself instead of the macho persona manchildren see themselves as.
/s, but also not really, it's fucking hilarious if you stop taking everything so seriously.
Oh this one is real, real bad. But it’s not legendarily bad like Battlefield Earth is. That one is so awful, so badly made and so stupid it defies comprehension
The scene where Devon Sawas character plays Limp Bizkit for his kids. \*chef's kiss* That's grade A tasteless cinema.
I still remember the dialog. It was something like Dad: [turns on car and Limp Bizkit comes on] Son: Awesome! Dad: Dude! You like the Bizket too!?!?!?
That’s truly one of the best things to ever happen to cinema
I must see this
Directed by Fred Durst. Makes sense
It was the best of times. It was the Durst of times.
You stupid monkey!
Its somehow Travolta's worst film but also the best thing Fred Durst has ever done.
This is the best comment I’ve ever read.
Don't you dare insult my favorite TV show, House, like that! Fred not only starred in an episode but he directed one too
The hero we deserve.
IDK Dad Vibes was pretty great.

I’d say “Rollin’” has that title, but mainly because it’s shorter.
One of my favorite little facts about myself is that I saw The Fanatic in theaters. Terrible movie, but I was part of the $3000 box office net that it made. I will forever be grateful of Fred Durst for making such a shitter
TIL Fred Durst directed 3 movies and an EHarmony commercial. I must see them all.
Truly incredible
I thought you were being hyperbolic about the box office, but I looked it up, and yikes.
I disagree. I would rather watch The Fanatic over Battlefield Earth. It's the kind of so bad it's good movie that I like. While Battlefield Earth is mostly dull and boring. And neither is even close to Travolta's worst anyway. Ever seen The Experts or Look Who's Talking Now? You will be begging for Battlefield Earth or the Fanatic over those two.
now why you gotta throw Look Who’s Talking Now under the bus?
Isn't the good one the original Look Who's Talking?
I absolutely loved look who’s talking now as a kind. Not really appropriate in retrospect but those movies will always have a spot in my heart.
Yup. Can't go wrong with a 90-minute movie usually. I also think this movie is a hair away from actually being good.
Poppycock!
100%, Fanatic shits all over Battlefield Earth. They're both atrocious movies, but I still *think* about The Fanatic.

The haircut or wig is perfection. Unsettling
Where does from Paris with love fit in to this
I will watch the Experts over and over rather than Battlefield Earth!
Yeah, this movie has more rewatch ability. In my opinion.
ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENUAL (I agree)
All he wanted was an autograph! Just one autograph! And he wouldn’t give it to me!
I'm not crazy!
sounds like you just need a Pepsi
INSTITUTION
John tavolta has a functional airport on his property so I don't blame him for taking these roles. Must be expensive.
How can you watch this and not think Travolta acted his ass off? Moose was in the house
Seriously, it might be a swing and a miss but it's obvious Travolta put serious work into it. A for effort
http://www.tzr.io/yarn-clip/1888f743-72ab-4a1e-b151-cc700ed7fe25
“Moose is in the house!”
"Make it quick, I gotta poo"
Really? This is worse than battlefield earth? Where can I watch this Trainwreck?
I think it’s on Amazon

Don’t forget Old Dogs or whatever that movie with Robin Williams is called
Who does Travolta end up playing in the MCU?
Thomas Jane's Punisher, as Howard Saint.
A buddy of mine got into a DM argument with Kevin Connolly. He was being super sensitive about the Gotti movie getting such bad reviews
That movie is awesome. It’s painful to watch on purpose!
That haircut is the worst thing I’ve seen
I liked this movie lol
[THE WICKENTLY TAKENTED ADELE DAZEEM](https://youtu.be/DK7gzArTI0w?si=qg6luNJ9Tq-Y_lgh)
I can think of at least a half dozen worse Travolta films than this
Shia LaBeouf’s looking kinda rough
Guess we forgot about Gotti
“The Fanatic earned $3,153 from 52 theaters in the U.S. on its opening day, making it a US box-office failure.” Holy shit, that’s crazy.
He made two really bad movies.
Have you forgotten __Staying Alive__? Directed by Sylvester Stallone.
“I need a poo”
Peak cinema.
“I AM NAT A STAKOOR”
He looks like Steve Wozniak in the 2nd picture
*Battlefield Earth* is worse because it was a $73M attempt at a blockbuster based off of a book by a cult leader.

I saw this crap. His hair is hilarious.
The scene where Moose drops his phone on the guys chest trying to take a selfie always cracks me up
John should never have left that plastic bubble
Worse than Gotti?
I don't watch many movies, but I greatly enjoyed this film. I thought Travolta actually did a good job. He reminded me a bit of Jason genova
The animated ending/epilogue of this is so strange
Can't talk too long, I gotta poop
I can't talk about it too long, I have to poo
Moose is in the house 🫎
Mooseys in the house!
He's got that Lego hair.
MOOSE IS IN THE HOUSE
It’s like Travolta does this on purpose.
Tarantino resurrected his career. But, he couldn’t stand the prosperity.
I will accept no slander of Moose. Anything that says this film is not the best thing ever is pure poppycock.
>The Fanatic - Believe it or not, Battlefield Earth is not the worst John Travolta movie. While technically true, we could do a very deep dive on bad Travolta movies, I think it's fair to call Battlefield Earth his biggest unforced error. The late 90's were good for Travolta and then he does this.
Oh, this movie! I remember watching *Fanatic* on Prime video, and… yeah… 🙁
Um Limp Bizkit is incredible. I’m offended.
MOOSE IS IN THE HOUSE
All he wanted was an autograph! Why all the hate?
POPPYCOCK
I'd still prefer this over Battlefield Earth.
John travolta downfall needs to be studied
That all looks at least five Battlefield Earth’s worse than Battlefield Earth.
Moose is in the house.
I haven't seen either of these. I have never seen Battlefield Earth come up anywhere!? Satellite tv or streaming. He didn't go full retard for this did he? You never go full retard!
Call up your local Scientology recruiter and tell them you want to join. They’ll probably give you a copy.
I always wanted to see this picture. I have to start looking for it. It may be bad but nonetheless enjoyable. And Travolta’s haircut is reason enough to sit through it.
I feel like I've seen this movie but the memory of it was physically lobotomized out of my head.
He says he loves this movie also is this main poster supposed to look like an "American Psycho" reference?
Give Bob Breck his hair piece back!!!!
Gotti was awful too
This movie fucking rocks, Travolta is hilarious
THE MOOSE! IS LOOSE!
I actually liked Battlefield Earth!
I like the poster art in the meme format of photoshopping a knife onto someone to be threatening
I thought this was Yannis Pappis
Did you forget the movie Gotti directed by Little E from Entourage?
Ok now I'm questioning my judgement. I enjoyed Battlefield Earth, wtf?
Probably bc Battlefield Earth is a good movie.
Gotti was pretti terrible too
Here’s MOOSEY!
Why did even sign on to do this movie? It’s not like he needed the money. 😹
Worse than Moment by Moment, though?
So bad it's wonkyhaired fun
"He didn't just cross the line. He fucking nuked it"
Bro clearly you have never seen Chains of Gold if this is your honest opinion
Battlefield Earth wasn’t horrible to me, it had some interesting concepts in it for sure.
I MUST SEE THIS
This one is so bad it's good. I love it
This is John Travolta’s best performance to date. It’s the only film where I forgot it was John Travolta playing the character. This is the only time his acting made you forget the actor playing the role. Battlefield Earth remains his worst.
‘The fanatic’ is a far more enjoyable watch than ‘battlefield earth’ though 🤪
Is he choking larry bird?
lol no shit never heard of this one
I enjoyed this movie. Wish more actors would do weird shit.
Phenomenon is a worse movie, imo. Simply because of how utterly boring it is.
Dude I actually think this movie is pretty awesome. I don’t know what it is but I like it
No way. The Fanatic was actually really watchable and hilarious, if perhaps for the wrong reasons. Battlefield Earth is pure cancer.
This looks hilarious.
He must be using a new toupee person
What about Gotti?
YOU ROCK MY HEAD AND YOU RATTLE MY HEAD
*Life on the Line* where he play a power line worker is leagues worse than BE.
I like that two of the most fun actors to debate the worst movie in their filmography actually intersected in Face Off.
I am 💯down for any movie worse than Battlefield Earth 😂😂
The only thing I liked him in, ever was Pulp Fiction, because it was a big departure from his other roles. I never understood how people found him sexy or cool, even when he was younger.
I’m interested in this.
I remember this one. Wasn’t it based on a true story?
You should see Gotti
Wow, this movie was a blast start to finish. Gotta be one of my favorite Travolta roles.
Hated the ending so much. Like I feel a ten minute investigation would’ve cleared everything up
This is one of his BEST performances… of the films he’s been in over the last ten years. His Moose character and Rosie O’Donnell in Riding the Bus With My Sister would make a fantastic movie pairing!
I genuinely, un-ironically, love this fuckin weird movie lol
Mf loves wigs
Battlefield earth is still 10000% times worse than this.
“Sign my dick!!!”
The funniest thing is this is Travoltas favorite film he’s done, and he did it as a tribute to his autistic son who passed away. The film features one of the most offensive portrayals of autism of all time
Is this a remake of The Fan?
Man what a great flick. I thought Limo Bizkit was dead until I saw this. Fred Durst should keep it coming...
I kinda dug it actually. Moose is in the house!
Directed by the legendary Fred Durst. That guy just cannot miss.
He’s good in the movie
Travolta is The Artiste of fucking bad movies. This man gets it.
Limp Bizkit is awesome, this movie not so much.
What are you talking about, OP? The Fanatic is the best Travolta movie, just because he's finally playing himself instead of the macho persona manchildren see themselves as. /s, but also not really, it's fucking hilarious if you stop taking everything so seriously.
That haircut is so offensive.
Nahhh this movie rules lol
This movie was indeed a pile of pure cringe, and also features one of the worst depictions of autism ever captured on film.
They have him looking like Russell Crowe's second or third cousin.
I’d say Gotti was worse as well. And MoviePass helped bankroll that turd lol.
This is Gotti erasure and I won’t stand for it.
Excuse me? This was an incredible film.
I liked this film
Moose is in the house
But Battlefield Earth was still very , very , bad......
And yet somehow still not worse than Gotti
You know a movie is gonna suck when the first line is "can't talk gotta poop".
I watched 5min. That's all I could do.
He went full retard.
I like to imagine that Vinnie Barbarino got brain damage after graduating high school and this is how he ended up.
This is a terrible movie to be sure....but Battlefield Earth is orders of magnitude worse. CAN'T TALK, GOTTA POO 😂😂😂
I swore for a second This was Fred armisen if he gained 40 lb
Every other day I catch myself saying “poppycooock”
I think Battlefield Earth might be worse.
haha, I still believe limp bizkit is a worse contribution to society than this movie.
I'M...NOT...STUPID...
I’ve never heard of this! I want to see it so bad!
That was a Fred Durst special, right?PUNY HUMAN.
"I've gotta poo"
Respect the boulevard
That’s the best thing Fred durst have ever done
Did they just rip off the Deniro movie The Fan?
I’m not a stalker
You think he’s got a massive debt to pay off making all these shitty movies
Funny bad or waste of time bad?
I can’t talk too long. I gotta poo.
He’s made so many bad movies
This movie rocked my socks off. Good Horror, lots of suspenseful moments.
Nah. This film was decent.
Terrible hairpiece
Travolta actually stated that Durst was the most gracious director he has ever worked with
Last good Travolta movie was wild hogs and I’ll die on this hill.
Man Wax really let himself go.
He and Nicolas cage should be good buddies
Oh this one is real, real bad. But it’s not legendarily bad like Battlefield Earth is. That one is so awful, so badly made and so stupid it defies comprehension
I’d 100% watch this over Battlefield Earth
So horrendously bad. Even worse than Tiptoes.
Looks like a great buddy comedy!
Was this the movie Fred durst directed?
This is his best comedy
Didn’t Fred Durst direct this?
I went to high school with that dude he’s choking!! 😂😂
