"Worst Career Achievement" - Uwe Boll (Germany’s Answer to Ed Wood)

You know, I can't believe it took that long to give him that distinction.

4 of the six lost money, even though they were usually relatively cheap to make. This makes me feel a little bit better about moviegoers (although it's a shame that 2 did gross more than their costs).

Edit:

I'm not sure about the Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel category. On one hand, Indiana Jones was better than a lot of the other movies of the category. On the other, it had a lot more to live up to, and a lot more hype to live up to. Besides, the Tarzan sequence alone is worthy of special recognition here.

Just give Uwe Boll a lifetime achievement award for being the worst director since Ed Wood, and move on.

They closed the german loophole he was dependent upon for profitability so he's a limited liability issue anyway, sure to fade into the background.
