BALLISTIC: ECKS VS. SEVER (2002) The Worst Reviewed Movie on Rotten Tomatoes Paired with Maligned Wines

Sen Us Your Thoughts!Last December, while recording a different episode for this podcast, Dallas and myself discovered that we both had fond memories of a movie titled (ridiculously, but also awesomely) "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever” starring Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu. We’d both seen it in the theater back in 2002, and…never again since.That’s partly due to the movie largely being unavilable due to rights issues, but mostly because it has the LOWEST RATING OF ANY MOVIE EVER ON ROTTEN TOMATOES!!! That’s right, with 119 professional reviews, that is the highest number of total reviews while still maintaining a splat-tastic 0%.So we were scared. Did we want to ruin this childhood memory? (By “childhood” I mean young adulthood, but you get what we’re saying.)Well, then returning special guest (from our MIRACLE MILE episode) Nicholas Langdon took interest in joining us if we ever covered it on the pod, and we said eff it, let’s do it.
