The Razzie Award for Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel is an award presented at the annual Golden Raspberry Awards for the worst film adapted from some form of previous material (derivative work). The category covers films that are prequels, sequels, remakes, reboots, spin-offs, film adaptations of other media franchises, mockbusters and "rip-offs" (thus making the award open to nearly any high concept film with a superficial resemblance to any other work of fiction).

The following is a list of nominees and recipients of that award, including each film's distribution company.

History

From 1994 to 2005, the category was titled Worst Remake or Sequel. The category was divided into Worst Prequel or Sequel and Worst Remake or Rip-off in 2006 and 2007. The categories were again merged in 2008 to form Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel, and it was shortened to the current title from 2012 onward. The award was not presented in 1996 and 1999.

Criteria

Despite not being mentioned in the name of the award, film adaptations of other media (books, graphic novels, cartoons, etc.) are eligible for nomination (extending the term "remake" broadly to include adaptations).

Razzie nominations have also stretched the definition on occasion; for example, Jack & Jill was described as a "Remake/Ripoff of Glen or Glenda " despite bearing no resemblance beyond that they both feature male actors portraying both male and female characters; this was widely viewed as an excuse to nominate the film in every category. [1] [2] Similarly, Karen was described as an "Inadvertent Remake of Cruella" despite the lack of any real similarity between the two films, [3] and The Meg was listed as a rip-off of Jaws despite both films having little in common beyond having a giant shark as villain.

The 28th Stinkers Bad Movie Awards were released by the Hastings Bad Cinema Society in 2006 to honour the worst films the film industry had to offer in 2005. The most nominated film of the year was Son of the Mask with ten nominations, which also had five wins. While the usual rotation of categories happened, one notable award introduced was the "Annie" Award; this was meant to call out a film for raising ticket admission prices to inflate box office receipts just like Annie back in 1982. The award, handpicked by Stinkers founders Ray Wright and Mike Lancaster, went to The Producers, as listed below. Dishonorable mentions are also featured for Worst Picture.

The 20th Stinkers Bad Movie Awards were released by the Hastings Bad Cinema Society in 1998 to honor the worst films the film industry had to offer in 1997.

To celebrate the 20th award ballot, the Lifetime Non-Achievement Award was given out to Chevy Chase and a multitude of other categories, including Worst On-Screen Couple and Worst Director, were introduced. Founder Ray Wright listed Batman & Robin and Crash among his five worst movies of the 1990s, which also included It's Pat, Pokémon: The First Movie, and Nothing but Trouble. While Batman & Robin was a preliminary target and took home several awards, Crash was largely ignored aside from the Founders Award because it was a low-key indie film. The founders also admitted that if they had expanded the Worst Picture ballot to 10 nominees, they would have included B.A.P.S., Excess Baggage, Flubber, Jungle 2 Jungle, and McHale's Navy.
