Line 37:
** Connery is more ashamed of ''[[Zardoz]]'', which he said he only starred in as an attempt to break away from the [[James Bond]] image.
* The [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] movie ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]'' is a touchy subject for Michael Richards, who played [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Stanley the Janitor]]. However, he was a good enough sport to do the commentary on the DVD.
* [[Christian Bale]] has not been subtle about his [https://web.archive.org/web/20141006122210/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20054053,00.html dislike] for ''[[Newsies]]'', which he starred in back in 1992, although he acknowledges the cult audience the film has.
* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Yeardley Smith]] is still extremely embarrassed by ''[[Maximum Overdrive]]''. So is [[Stephen King]], who called the film a "moron movie." Thus far, it has remained his only attempt at directing.
* ''Leonard Part 6'' was so bad, [[Bill Cosby]] himself told everyone to avoid seeing it.
Line 48:
* Given her decade-plus long career as an extremely capable [[Action Girl]] (''[[The Fifth Element]]'', ''[[Ultraviolet]]'', the ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'' films), [[Milla Jovovich]] prefers people not think too hard about 1992's ''Return to [[The Blue Lagoon]]''.
* [[Amy Adams]] has gone on to disown ''[[Cruel Intentions]] 2'' but likes to joke about making it on occasion.
** ''[[Psycho Beach Party]]'', however, not so much. She would much prefer everyone forget about this horror-comedy movie where her most remarkable scene was losing her bikini bottoms. (The word "remarkable" used loosely, much like "horror" and "comedy" for this one.) Granted, that was only her second role, but since she's become famous, hormone-addled teen fans keep dwelling on it.
* Jamie Lee Curtis is on record describing 1999's ''[[Virus]]'' as "an awful piece of shit".
* John Landis, as everyone knows, inserts the phrase "see you next Wednesday" in each of his films, often as the title of an imaginary movie. He explains that it's the title of a script he wrote in his youth which shall never see the light of day.
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
* [[American Pie|Shannon]] [[Scary Movie|Elizabeth]] would probably prefer people forget about the time she was ''raped by a snowman'' during her small part in ''[[Jack Frost (1997 film)|Jack Frost 1997]]''
* [[The Carol Burnett Show|Carol Burnett]] disliked her performance as [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold]] Mollie Malloy in ''[[The Front Page]]'' so much that years later, when she was a passenger on a flight that had ''[[The Front Page]]'' as its in-flight movie, at the film's end she ''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|stood up and apologized to the passengers for what they had just witnessed]]''.
* When ''[[Titanic]]'' was re-released in 3D in 2012, both [[Kate Winslet]] and [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20120928010535/http://thecelebritycafe.com/feature/2012/04/kate-winslet-and-leonardo-dicaprio-are-both-embarrassed-seeing-themselves-jack-and-r expressed embarrassment] at seeing their younger selves on the big screen again.
* Joe Mazello, who played Tim in ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', apparently gets rather annoyed if one mentions to him, according to David Fincher who directed him in ''[[The Social Network]]''.
* Jake Lloyd isn't fond of his role as Anakin Skywalker in ''[[The Phantom Menace|Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'', in no small part due to it [[Never Live It Down|being the reason he was bullied throughout middle school and high school.]] He even burned all of his ''[[Star Wars]]'' memorabilia and never watched a single ''Star Wars'' film again, stating it was too creepy to watch them again.
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
* [[Douglas Fairbanks]], of all people, starred in a lot of cheesy (and bad) films before he became famous, and one he was especially not proud of was ''Mystery of the Leaping Fish''. Released in 1916, this comedic lampoon of [[Sherlock Holmes]] stories had Fairbanks portray a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Holmes named "Coke Ennyday" who was hooked on opium and cocaine. That's right, Fairbanks had done the [[Stoners Are Funny]] routine more than 50 years before Sean Penn made it popular in ''[[Fast Times at Ridgemont High]]''.
* [[David Hasselhoff]] has one of these, and he was far from the only one involved in making the low-budget, hastily-made ''[[Starcrash]]'' who regrets doing so. A space opera made in 1978 as a cash-grab hoping to profit from the success of ''[[Star Wars]]''. The film was originally made for American International Pictures, who deemed it too terrible to even release; [[New World Pictures]] did so after buying the rights to it, and it has since been regarded as "a masterpiece in unintentionally bad filmmaking" and compared to ''[[Plan 9 from Outer Space]]''.
* Several actors who became famous for staring in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' often wish they had a TARDIS to undo their work in movies they aren't proud of:
** [[Christopher Eccleston]] - famous for playing the Ninth Doctor - has two of them. First off, he would love it if fans forgot he was the one playing Destro in ''[[G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra]]'', given how the movie was critically panned and regarded as a big mess.
*** Even worse was his role in ''[[Gone in 60 Seconds]]'', a movie with a nonsensical and boring plot that was about 80% car chases.
** [[David Tennant]] - the Tenth Doctor - starred in an unremarkable (meaning ''boring'') movie called ''[[St. Trinian's (franchise)|St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold]]''. The second film adaptation of the ''[[St. Trinian's (franchise)|St. Trinian]]'' novels, it's a likely reason why there isn't a third, that and the fact that Tennant wants nothing to do with it. Eccleston's inclusion in a supporting role was pretty much the only decent part of it, something that could ''not'' be claimed by leads [[Nicholas Cage]] and [[Angelina Jolie]].
** [[Catherine Tate]]'' starred in a flick called ''[[Nativity 2: Dude, Where's My Donkey]]''. Tate appeared on the [[The Graham Norton Show]] to promote it in an interview that can best be described as [[Self-Deprecation]] humor, although to be fair, the ''third'' movie in that series was even worse.
** [[Tom Baker]] - Fourth Doctor, one of the most popular heroes in science fiction history - had a small role in the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' movie, which pretty much everyone remembers as a badly acted, badly scripted, badly-everything piece of garbage, Baker included, although to be fair, that saving grace was likely the only saving grace of the movie.
** Beloved Companion [[Billy Piper]] starred in a direct-to-DVD flop called ''[[Spirit Trap]]'', a [[Cliche Storm]] that she's come to regret.
*** She also played the female lead in ''[[The Calcium Kid]]''. With a flat 0% on [[Rotten Tomatoes]], it's not something she's proud of.
** Fans were upset when [[Karen Gillan]] left the show in 2012, but had high hopes for seeing her in ''[[Not Another Happy Ending]]''. Unfortunately, said movie was a disappointment that reeked of shoddy scripting.
** Before he starred as the Eighth Doctor, [[Paul McGann]] starred as the villainous Walter Golic in ''[[Alien 3]]'', a movie that everyone involved in the production knew was doomed from the start, spending years in [[Development Hell]] due to frequently changing writers and directors and ending up with a cobbled together mess of a script.
** Before being cast as Captain Jack Harkness (and for that matter, the star of ''[[Torchwood]]'', the [[Spin-Off]] series) [[John Barrowman]] starred in a lot of low-budget films, like ''[[Shark Attack 3: Megalodon]]'', a hilariously funny parody of monsters films... Which unfortunately, the director intended as a serious one. Again, Barrowman's scenes - like a steamy [[Shower of Love| shower-sex scene]] with the female lead - are the only things that make this movie even slightly redeemable.
