Che! is a film directed by Richard Fleischer in 1969. It is a biopic of Che Guevara, starring a tragically miscast Omar Sharif as the iconic revolutionary, though the film ignores the formative pre-Cuban revolution sections of Che's life as described in the autobiographical book The Motorcycle Diaries. It was criticised for Sharif's lacklustre performance, although Jack Palance's decision to play Fidel Castro as a comedic buffoon, and its poorly shot action scenes and cringe-worthy dialogue also contributed in turning a bad film into a truly terrible one. This averaged 3.5/10 on the IMDb,[1] but deserves consideration for the audience reaction when released in Argentina, where some disgusted theatregoers threw Molotov cocktails at the screen. It is often considered one of the worst films ever.
