Clint Eastwood's worst movies?

For me, "A Perfect World". From 1993.

Name yours.

eta: corrected date.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

A Perfect World came out in 1993.
A classic movie.

The Dead Pool.

I saw about half of City Heat with Clint co-starring with Burt Reynolds and it was bad enough for me to turn off the TV.

Surely you jest? Blasphemy I say.

When I was a kid, I hadn't gotten a VCR yet, so I just watched the same HBO movies over and over, regardless of whether they were any good or not.

I have no need to see Bronco Billy ever again. It's been 40 years, and I'm still sick of it.

The Gauntlet is pretty awful, as is anything with the ape.

I didn't think much of those either. The Dead Pool might have been passable if not for the ridiculous R/C car/bomb chase.

I thought a Perfect World was great.

Where Eagles Dare: The most convoluted plot ever! (So bad, that there's even a scene where Eastwood's character admits that HE doesn't get it!) Mary Ure does provide a bit of "eye candy" and the theme music in the opening scene are virtually the only things that redeem this dog.

I can't believe this thread started off with that movie. I've loved practically every movie Eastwood has acted in and directed since.
