The 22 Worst Sports Movies That Have Ever Been Produced

Sports movies have been a genre of film for almost as long as there has been film.
Ever since the concept of a sports film was thought up, about thirty of them have actually been good.
The rest of them are either mediocre or way worse than that.
To further illustrate just how bad these movies are, we've included the aggregate critics score as determined by "Rotten Tomatoes."
Matilda's plot centers around a kangaroo that has some boxing ability
Year Released: 1978
"Rotten Tomatoes" Score: 40% (Audience)
No, it's not that Matilda. This movie is about a kangaroo that learned how to effectively box and it has nothing to do with a Rolad Dahl book. The movie's theatrical debut was not in the United States despite the fact it was filmed there. It debuted in Finland before it went anywhere else.
The Bad News Bears Go To Japan is about exactly that
Year Released: 1978
"Rotten Tomatoes" Score: 0% (10 critic reviews)
The Bad News Bears Go To Japan was the third movie in the "Bad News" series and it was also the most bad overall.
The first two films about the Bears were dependent on the fact that the Bears were a surly and foul mouthed group of people. No Little League in their right mind would want them representing their brand.
So why on Earth did this team to go to Japan as de facto ambassadors?
The Main Event was a true "Glove" Story that finally married boxing and Barbara Streisand
Year Released: 1979
"Rotten Tomatoes" Score: 38%
Barbara Streisand's character in this tour de force is a perfume mogul named Hillary Kramer that has most of her assets stolen by her former accountant. One of the remaining things that the accountant left behind was a boxer named Eddie "Kid Natural" Scanlon (played by Ryan O'Neal).
In an effort to get her money back, she invests her time and energy into making a Scanlon a champion. One of the biggest problems Scanlon has is a fear of getting hit. How awesome of a plot twist is that?!
