Ignoring all the Direct-to-DVD B-grade movies, my picks are: 1. The Hulk from "The Hulk"2. The Scorpion King from "The Mummy Returns" 3. The sharks in Jaws 3 and 4 I always thought that it looked like a cross between José Canseco and Shrek. Those are all good nominees though. |

The hand on a stick, supposedly at the end of Reed Richards' elongated arm, waving to the crowd at the end of Roger Corman's no-budget 90s version of "Fantastic Four".

The Tingler with Vincent Price, they had total balls back then, you can see the thing being pulled around by a string. Trivia: if you saw it in the theater they actually placed vibrators under the seats which would "tingle" during a certain scene. The film would then stop, and the audience would be encouraged to scream!  |

That's what people claim but it's also been said that stooges in the audience were simply paid to leap up and scream, which would remove the need for any vibrating technology. |

The chocolate river from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Even when I was a little kid, I thought it looked like raw sewage. It was not scrumdiddlyumptious. It was dysenterywompus. |

Whew, tough one. To put it in proper context, I think the worst effects I remember for a major release that I personally saw was Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Runners up include A SOUND OF THUNDER and as someone else pointed out, SPAWN.

That horrendous, intentionally crappy Cantina retread scene from The Force Awakens; worst practical effects I've seen in a "non-B" movie.

My vote would go towards Scooby-Doo (2002). I remember thinking to myself that the CGI was beyond terrible. They should have used practical effects.  Actually, I don't think anything would have helped that film. I guess the next runner-up would be Troll 2 (1990), but I believe that's classified as a B-movie, so it's excusable. I just remember being grossed out by it as a kid, LOL! |

I thought Peter Jacksons' King Kong looked flawless, but the original is a better film overall.

Can't think of specific movies at the moment but I've seen a number of "face replacements" that are just awful. Often you can tell the body double doesn't even have the same face shape as the actor whose face is replacing theirs.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was the worst false advertising. The tomatoes looked nothing like the poster.
But by modern standards the worst I have seen is the reincarnated Imhotep in the Mummy Returns when he is in the train and the show a big close up on him and it is so obviously cgi and game quality.
