Wild Wild West turns 25. The sci fi western comedy was a box office dissapointment grossing 113.8M domestically and 222.1M worldwide on a bloated 170M budget. Will Smith has voiced regret over the film.

He turned down The Matrix to do this POS movie with a giant fucking spider.

Even though the original TV series was not a comedy series, this film still had a potential to work well as a comedic adaptation of the said series considering that it had some great casts (Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh, Selma Hayek, and Ted Levine), solid writers (two of whom wrote **Who Framed Roger Rabbit**), and the director of **Men in Black**. With those levels of talents, you’d think that it would be impossible for this to turn into a complete stinker. Unfortunately, someone in the production clearly took that as a challenge.

The movie is a fever dream
