Inchon (1982)
In Inchon, Laurence Olivier portrayed General Douglas MacArthur. The Battle of Inchon considered a turning point in the Korean War, was scheduled to be depicted in the film. People expected it to be a wonderful film because of its $30 million budget. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out. All of this may be attributed to poor acting, poor production, and the usage of cut-outs instead of people. If you want to get a sense of how horrible it was, consider that it has been compared to a worse version of The Green Berets.

The Last Samurai (2003)
The Last Samurai, although being a “good-intentioned” film, did not make the criteria. It follows an American regiment captain in 19th-century Japan as he attempts to Westernize samurai soldiers. The dialogue and clothes are spot-on, but the storyline is a touch thin. In one scene, Tom Cruise taught the Japanese soldiers how to shoot muskets, which drew the ire of critics. The soldiers, on the other hand, should have learned how to fire weapons by that stage. Apart from it, the filmmakers portrayed the Japanese samurais as noblemen who cared about “the greater good.” The truth was that they resembled the mafia more than anything else.
