The megabudget, god-awful remake of the 1960s TV Western tallied a whopping (but not surprising) five Razzies, including Worst Picture, Worst Director (Barry Sonnenfeld), Worst Screenplay, Worst Song (the title rap) and Worst Screen Couple (for the ill-teamed Smith and Kline).
But lest you think Wild Wild West hogged all the trophies (a gold-colored, plastic raspberry atop a mangled film reel, valued at $4.27), there were pleny of Razzies to go around.
Picking up worst acting dis-honors: Big Daddy Adam Sandler and Blair Witch Project shrieker Heather Donahue. In the supporting categories, the un-thespian Denise Richards was dinged for her less-than-convincing turn as a nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough, and Rasta-frog Jar Jar Binks (voiced by Ahmed Best) got the nod for Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace, a role that set back intergalactic race relations by years.
In celebration of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation's two-decade anniversary, this year's Razzies included some Very Special disses: The Century's Worst Actor (Sylvester Stallone for an oeuvre that includes Cobra, Judge Dread and Stop or My Mom Will Shoot) and Actress (Madonna for her work in such turkeys as Bloodhounds of Broadway, Body of Evidence, Who's That Girl and Shanghai Surprise), as well as the 1990s' Worst Picture (Showgirls) and Worst New Star (Pauly Shore for just about everything he's done).
