Sharon
Stone's Basic Instinct 2
Mocked By
Razzies
Sharon
Stone
should have trusted her
first Basic Instinct and
left it alone, according
to voters of the
Razzies, which mocks the
worst of Hollywood.
Basic
Instinct 2 has won four
Razzies, including worst
picture and worst
actress for Sharon
Stone.
The
Razzies - short for
Golden Raspberry Award -
mock what are thought to
be Hollywood's worst,
and are held on the eve
of the Academy Awards.
The
Wayans brothers comedy
Little Man was second
with three Razzies,
including shared prizes
by Shawn and Marlon
Wayans for worst actor
and worst screen couple.
A
follow-up to Sharon
Stone's career-making
1992 hit, Basic Instinct
2 revived her
femme-fatale predator
for a murder thriller
set in London, with
British actor David
Morrissey inheriting the
victim's mantle from
Michael Douglas, the
star of the first film
who did not return for
the sequel.
Razzies
founder John Wilson said
that while Sharon Stone
still looked good in her
late 40s, the movie had
no other reason to
exist.
"Yes,
she still has some
excuse to drop her robe,
but the dialogue, the
story, the overall
attitude of the
character is
cartoon-like," Wilson
said. "You have to sort
of wonder, is she
vamping the movie or
does she think she's
giving a serious
performance? Is she the
lone person on the
project who got the
joke?"
The
other Razzies for Basic
Instinct 2 were for
worst screenplay and
worst prequel or sequel.
Along
with the Razzies for the
two Wayans, Little Man
also won for worst
remake or rip-off
because it essentially
took the premise of a
Bugs Bunny cartoon about
a pint-sized hoodlum
masquerading as a baby
and expanded it to
feature length, Wilson
said.
