3. THE LAWNMOWER MAN



He was the bad guy in the beloved family film Mrs. Doubtfire, he was the British spy icon Bond, James Bond, and he was a nutty scientist in a goofy 1992 Stephen King movie.

Pierce Brosnan starred as Dr. Lawrence Angelo in the sci-fi, horror flick, The Lawnmower Man, just one year before his breakthrough role in the Robin Williams co-starring family-friendly comedy.

The Lawnmower Man is about a man with low intelligence who is put through a series of experimental pills and tech-based tests.

Over time, he begins to show a higher IQ… but eventually develops psychic powers.

His powers cause him to discover that he has been mistreated his entire life due to his formerly low IQ and he plots revenge against those who did him wrong.

2. THE ORIGINAL THE HANDMAID’S TALE



Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale is a massive hit that is loved by critics and fans alike. However, like many of Hollywood’s recent projects, it is actually a reboot.

The story was originally told as a schlocky sci-fi flick in 1990.

In the movie, the United States is plunged into a dystopian reality in which much of the population is infertile.

Offred, is able to become pregnant, and that’s… actually a really bad thing. The poor woman is forced to become a surrogate for barren couples against her will.

The Handmaid’s Tale boasted an impressive cast including Faye Dunaway (Bonnie and Clyde, Mommie Dearest) and Robert Duvall (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now).

The tragic character of Offred was played by Natasha Richardson, who sadly passed away in 2009 at the age of 45.

1. WING COMMANDER



The year 1999’s Wing Commander is what happens when Star Trek meets Galaxy Quest meets Scooby Doo. It’s over-the-top, it’s cheesy, and it’s great fun for any nostalgic ’90s kid.

Let’s be honest, you probably don’t remember this movie at all. However, you’d probably love its iconic protagonists. Matthew Lillard (Scream, SLC Punk!) and Freddie Prinze Jr. (She’s All That, I Know What You Did Last Summer) star in this goofy sci-fi romp.

The two stars later went on to co-star in the live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo.

In this forgotten sci-fi movie, Prinze Jr. is a pilot on a mission to save the world from .. you guessed it, aliens.

Armed with a coded message and his partner (Lillard), he sets out on a journey that many reviews described as clichéd.
