Arnold Schwarzenegger's first movie, Hercules in New York, was so bad that the rights to the movie were auctioned on eBay for $550,000.

The fantasy adventure flick, filmed when Schwarzenegger was 22, is one film that he regrets making. Because of his accent, all of Schwarzenegger's lines were dubbed. He portrays the Greek god Hercules, who comes from Olympus to have an adventure on Earth. He interacts with the people of New York, where he is physically superior but does not understand social norms. Oddly reminiscent of Thor, no?

According to Premiere's own description, the movie "was not met with an overwhelming response from the public." The company auctioned the rights to the movie on eBay for a starting price of $550,000.
