Thanks for the picks! I'm surprised no one jumped on the Burt Reynolds campaign...this guy was nomnated for his performance in Deliverance, and was the biggest box office star in the world at one time...but he has made sooo any bad films.

I used the Leonard Maltan book as a general guide...Sly Stallone averaged 2.0 in his film ratings (the ratings added together, divided by number of films). Burt, with many more films, averaged aprox. 1.57...he had eight films listed as "bombs" that received no rating, which brought his average down.

In fact, Reynolds only had two (of his over 40 films) that received more than a 3 star average...Deliverence and The Longest Yard.

The "bombs?" Cannonball Run, Hustle, Stoker Ace, Bandit III, Cannonball II, Heat, Rent-a-cop, Cop and a Half. As a personal note, I think Physical Evidence should be on the list (Maltin gave it 1.5)...one of the worst ever! I'm sure your proud, Burt.

I know this average of a film ratings system isn't scientific, but I dare any inmate to defend either one of these guys! The King of the Turkeys (Reynolds)... and the Clown Prince of bad films (Sly)!

BTW, I haven't averaged the ratings of Maurice Micklewhight! yet...should be interesting, and a serious contender for the title.

...Thanks for playing "King of the Turkeys."
