Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at 10 awful movies that starred actors who are now hugely successful.

You really never know who is going to become famous.

This little horror film is about a violent leprechaun and costs $900,000 to make.

It also starred a young actress named Jennifer Aniston, who at this point had done little more than some off-Broadway and failed TV shows.

The very next year, she was starring in Friends.

Okay, everybody, this is Rachel, another Lincoln High survivor.

Despite being a cult film, Leprechaun received bad reviews and has long been regarded as a joke.

Later films in the franchise took on a more tongue-in-cheek approach, whereas this one plays the horror mostly straight.

Aniston took the job on Friends and never looked back at poor Leprechaun, even expressing disappointment in her involvement in the film.

Come help us, we're trapped inside of here!

Well, we suppose everyone has to start somewhere, and this two-time Oscar winner started in a movie called Carbon Copy.

Washington plays a teenager named Roger Porter who meets and tries connecting with his estranged white father.

The movie's attempts to address racial dynamics are clumsy, relying heavily on stereotypes and broad humor.

You can teach me how to build a model airplane, I'll show you how to pick a lock.

It was grossly outdated, even by the standards of its day.

In fact, some may call it racist, or, if we're being generous, politically incorrect.

It also has an inconsistent tone, struggles with its own social commentary, and lacks any sort of depth or nuance.

It's amazing that Washington's career survived this.

Yes, little sister, I've been busted by the pigs.

Roger, in our community, the pigs are known as police officers.

Endless Love, Tom Cruise Hey, I tried, Dad.

Many people think that The Outsiders was Tom Cruise's first movie.

No, let us tell you about a movie called Endless Love.

You probably know the classic song that was made for the film, but probably not the movie itself, which garnered six Razzie nominations.

Accomplished actors like Shirley Knight and James Spader struggle with the poorly written material, and Brooke Shields gives a very weak star performance as Jade Butterfield.

Franco Zeffirelli also proved a poor director for the material, dialing up the melodrama to excessive levels.

He also majorly missed the whole point of the novel, which author Scott Spencer has made abundantly clear.

Luckily, Cruise's role was quite small, so he avoided much of the backlash.

You ever try to light a whole pile of wet newspapers?

I've always wanted a brother to throw to.

Yeah, and now I have two big brothers to look out for me.

This movie is quite famous for two reasons.

Roger Ebert's legendary review of it, and a young Elijah Wood.

Wood was already quite established by this time, having already starred in a number of popular films, but who wasn't established was 9-year-old Scarlett Johansson.

Her role as Laura Nelson is quite small, but North is not the kind of movie you want to have as your debut.

The script is terrible, with incoherent plotting and appalling cultural stereotypes as its main source of humor.

And director Rob Reiner is wildly off his game, resulting in a slew of awful performances from established actors like Bruce Willis and Kathy Bates.

When Kathy freaking Bates gets a Razzie nomination, you know something has gone horribly wrong.

All we want is for you to follow your dreams and be the best North you can be.

Hercules in New York, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

LONG before he was Conan the Barbarian, Arnold Schwarzenegger was Hercules.

By this time, Schwarzenegger was an established bodybuilder.
