Wilson, Rachel Grant, Paul Darrow, Simón Andreu, Wendy Leech, Trevor White, Nina Armstrong, Rocky Taylor, Deborah Moore, Emilio Echevarría, Mikhail Gorevoy, David Decio, Joaquin Martinez, Lawrence Makoare, Thomas Ho, Mark Dymond, Catherine Porter, Christine Hewett, Oliver Skeete, Ho Yi, Cristina Contes, Stewart Scudamore, Stuart Ong, Tatiana Lavrentieva, Lea Jerova, Alan Bond, Gerard Naprous, Sherry Stone, Ian Pirie, Daryl Kwan, Aiko Horiuchi, Manolo Caro, James Wallace, Anna Edwards, Bill Nash, Sarllya, Lucas Hare, Ben Wee, Justin Llewelyn, Vincent Wong, Stephanie Burns, Christopher Schönning, Lynne Hazelden

  What Happens In The Movie: A baddie from North Korea has his DNA replaced so he can masquerade as a British mogul.

  Why It’s Ridiculous: You have DNA in every cell in your body. Changing all of that is simply impossible. Oh, sure, they gave some explanation about how the doctors killed off all the bone marrow so it can be replaced… but that would just kill you.

  What Should Have Happened: The bad guy would have died in the hospital, and the doctor who swindled him would have ran off with all his money. Pierce Brosnan would have stayed home, and we would have all been saved a lackluster Halle Berry performance.

  (#7) Wing Commander

  • Mark Hamill, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Saffron Burrows, Matthew Lillard, David Warner, David Suchet, Jürgen Prochnow, Simon MacCorkindale, Tchéky Karyo, Hugh Quarshie, Richard Dillane, John McGlynn, Ken Bones, Fraser James, Mark Powley, Ginny Holder, Davif Fahm

  What Happens In The Movie: Sound travels in space – so much so that people on a ship have to be quiet or another ship will hear them. Pretty much every sci-fi movie features this, but Wing Commander makes it a plot point.

  Why It’s Ridiculous: While sound technically can travel in the vacuum of space, it's completely inaudible to human beings. Sound can only move through space in particularly dense interstellar gas, and it definitely wouldn't breach the walls of a space ship. 

  What Should Have Happened: Everyone on that ship could have talked as loud as they wanted, since there was no way for that sound to travel to another space ship.

  What Happens In The Movie: Someone puts antimatter in vials in order to make a bomb.

  Why It’s Ridiculous: Assuming that the amount of anti-matter seen in the movie could be produced (which is a big stretch), it would need to be stored in a containment system where it isn’t touching anything... as in any matter. You would need a substantial apparatus generating magnetic fields, so basically the opposite of a small glass vial. 

  What Should Have Happened: The antimatter would have touched the actual matter in the bottling process, exploded in everyone’s faces, and obliterated all of the secret Pope clones hidden under the Vatican.

  (#6) Waterworld

  • Kevin Costner, Jack Black, Dennis Hopper, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Michael Jeter, Tina Majorino, Kim Coates, Robert Joy, Sab Shimono, Jack Kehler, Robert LaSardo, Leonardo Cimino, Lee Arenberg, Sean Whalen, Rick Aviles, Zakes Mokae, Gerard Murphy, R.

  What Happens In The Movie: The polar ice caps melted, covering the entire world in water and making it one massive ocean. The only dry land is the top of Mt. Everest, and it's terrible.  

  Why It’s Ridiculous: There’s only enough ice to raise the water level a little more than 200 feet worldwide. This would be a disaster for coastal towns and cities, to be sure, but it wouldn't be flooding Denver. 

  What Should Have Happened: People would walk on dry land around the overcrowded interiors of continents, complaining about how they miss New York City and Venice but not really giving that much a sh*t generally.

  (#12) Robinson Crusoe on Mars

  • Adam West, Paul Mantee, Victor Lundin, Barney, the Woolly Monkey

  What Happens In The Movie: The protagonist of this film survives after his spaceship crashes by finding food, potable water, and rocks that release oxygen when burned.

  Why It’s Ridiculous: Mars has exactly none of those things. The funniest part is that part of the movie’s ad campaign touted it as “scientifically authentic,” which makes sense since people in the '60s also thought cigarettes were medicine.  

  What Should Have Happened: The guy would have died the minute his air ran out, or gotten hypothermia, or gotten hypoxia, or many other things. It's Mars, y'all, the Red Planet doesn't mess around.

  (#1) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

  • Cate Blanchett, Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, John Hurt, Ray Winstone, Jim Broadbent, Karen Allen, Ernie Reyes, Jr., Neil Flynn, Alan Dale, Andrew Divoff, Sasha Spielberg, Dimitri Diatchenko, Paul Thornton, Robert Baker, Pasha D.

  What Happens In The Movie: Indiana Jones is stuck in a nuclear testing site. To survive the bomb going off, Indy hides in a lead-lined fridge. It’s sent flying thousands of feet from the force of the blast, and Indy walks out unscathed.

  Why It’s Ridiculous: If we assume, for just one second, that an old lead-lined fridge would save him from the radiation (which it definitely wouldn’t, especially the second he got out), the sheer force of the explosion would have broken every bone in Indy’s body. And that’s assuming the fridge stood up to the blast at all.

  What Should Have Happened: Indy should have been liquefied inside that fridge. If there was enough of the fridge left over, at least he would already be in a convenient coffin.
