A movie can't ruin the career of someone who has not had a long and successful career-Gene Kelly's and Geena Davis' careers could be ruined, but Kelly Clarkson and the guy with her? Never heard of them. Never heard of many of these non-entities. If you're going to do a top twenty list, make sure there are twenty people or things _really_ worth talking about. And get rid of the beta male who narrated, and bring Rebecca back.

If anyone watches "Rollerball" from 1974, you'll understand why the remake failed. And "I Know Who Killed Me" didn't kill Lindsey Lohan's career. She did that all by herself.

The biggest reason I think it bombed was the idiotic title. It's like they only named it John Carter so they could change the title in the closing credits to John Carter of Mars (which they did). Unless people were Edgar Rice Burroughs fans, reading 100-year-old science fiction, just using his name alone was asking a lot. His Barsoon books never got anywhere near the press that his Tarzan books did. All that being said, as a huge fan of the books (and generally disliking movies based on books I've read), it was a pretty good movie, combining some parts of both the first and second book (A Princess of Mars and The Gods of Mars). Visually, I think they were more true to the books than anyone could ever expect, which was amazing. My biggest critique of the movie is that John Carter himself is portrayed as some reluctant, bitter hero who has to be forced into action, when in fact he's more of the Superman "truth, justice and the American way" kind of hero, who falls in love with Dejah Thoris at first sight and fights across the planet to save her.

@johnbrobston1334

Its big failing was that it shouldn't have been associated with Burroughs. That would have allowed a different character name that people didn't associate with a doctor on "ER" and wouldn't have had fans of Burroughs coming to the theater armeed with rotten tomatoes. It wasn't a bad movie but it didn't have much to do with anything Burroughs wrote. I suspect it would have gone over better if they'd gone with the Asylum script for "A Princess of Mars" and given it Disney casting and production values. It didn't help that they just put the name out like everybody was supposed to know it. The promotion should have used the history. Before Luke Skywalker, before Buck Rogers, before Flash Gordon, there was . . .

She says she hasn't flirted since her time in Vegas, it was a chaotic time shortly after college and involved pushing a woman down the stairs. Then later during a makeover scene they recreate some of the costumes and she even speaks like Nomi from the movie. Then when talking to Slater about it later, she says she was trying to be sexy but just looked insane, and Slater says that she was just following the crazy directions she was being given.

XANADU was a failure because it was shelved for 2 years after filming. If it was released ON TIME it, would be a different story.

Alicia's leading lady status may have been finished off with Batman but the setup was already in place with Excess Baggage. Truth be told though it would've been hard anyway to follow-up such an iconic role in Clueless. Alicia and Cher became intertwined. It's the same predicament that Molly Ringwald had a decade earlier after Pretty in Pink, also Liza Minnelli after Cabaret in the 70s (not to equate those three actresses mind you.)

1. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen did not end Connery's career by causing him to be no longer in demand for roles; *he* retired on his own, despite still being in great demand for roles, partly because The League was such a bad movie -- and partly because he was unhappy that he had gotten too old to be cast in romantic leading man roles, and figured he had enough money that he didn't need to suffer through the unimaginable humiliation of no longer being widely seen as the World's Sexiest Man. 2. In order for a movie to ruin one's career, one has to have had a career to ruin. Get to Know Your Rabbit was Tommy's first film after TV. Perhaps you're arguing that the movie killed his TV career, but obviously the brothers' inability to get any work on TV after their show had everything to do with the public outcry against their controversial, liberal topics, jokes, and guests -- which led to the show's cancellation -- and nothing to do with a movie that Tommy starred in 3 years later. 3. As another commenter has pointed out, Supergirl was literally the movie that launched Helen Slater's film career, which continues to this day, 38 years later. Sure; she's not the greatest actress and hasn't had the biggest roles, but she's worked consistently in film and TV over the past 40 years without having to adopt a bad Jack Nicholson impression like her little brother did. Hell, she even plays Supergirl's adoptive mother in the current TV series.

I used to love The Master of Disguise when I was a kid....I haven't seen it in years

The claim that "Xanadu" ruined Gene Kelly's long and successful career, when he was already retiring anyway, is utterly ridiculous.

Chris O'Donnell didn't get a major role again until NCIS: Los Angeles :P

A lot of these were movies with good casts taken down by mediocre scripts, mediocre direction, or studio interference. John Carter, for example, could have done well if it were approached as a Sci-Fi B movie based on a well-known pulp novel, but Disney wanted to make it into an overblown blockbuster. Bad idea. Batman and Robin had a great cast, but a terrible script, and a director who changed the tone so far from the Tim Burton movies that it was ridiculous, and it took the Batman franchise many years to recover and come back with Batman Begins. And Showgirls, well it just didn't have any hope to begin with. Bad script, bad direction, bad acting. It should have gotten every Razzie that year.

14 seasons on NCIS: Los Angeles makes Chris O’Donnell a very successful actor.

A little harsh for Xanadu. Sure, it bombed when first released, however, it's gone on to have a HUGE cult following. Gene's performance incredible, especially given his advancing years. Soundtrack is still beloved to this day. Yep, special effects were cheesy, but hey it was 1980...bright colors were the thing. CGI was in its infancy with Star Wars pretty much bringing it to screens just 3 years earlier. Everyone in the industry were basically "learning as they went".

Also, it was a musical. Even though Grease had done well, that didn't mean musicals were going to do well. Grease 2 didn't do well either. They thought ONJ was going to draw people because she had been in Grease, but they were really watching Travolta. This was around the time of Welcome Back, Kotter, so he was a huge draw, no matter what the movie was.

I didn't even know Dennis Rodman was even an actor. And Xanadu didn't tarnish Gene Kelley's reputation AT ALL. His appearance in that movie is forgotten, Singing In The Rain is what's remembered.

Most of these "actors" who ruined their "careers" weren't even actors but athletes, comedians, or failures to launch.

I happen to love Xanadu and saw it twice in theaters. The film didn't tank Gene Kelly's career...don't be ridiculous. He hadn't been active in the industry for years. His stock remained fine. It's Michael Beck's career that immediately tanked after getting good notices before for the cult film Warriors. Olivia's film career apparently needed one more flop and that was Two of a Kind.

Gene Kelly, Geena Davis and Warren Beatty are the only 3 established actors on the list that might have been hurt by the movie listed. All others mentioned on this list were non actors, they were singers, skit comedians, athletes, or actors that were starting out and fizzled out.
