    I don't think it was as bad as it's reputation.

    In one of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" comic strips, captioned "Hell's Video Store," the entire store is stocked with nothing but copies of Ishtar. Larson later apologized, saying "When I drew the above cartoon, I had not actually seen 'Ishtar.' Years later, I saw it on an airplane, and was stunned at what was happening to me: I was actually being entertained. Sure, maybe it's not the greatest film ever made, but my cartoon was way off the mark. There are so many cartoons for which I should probably write an apology, but this is the only one which compels me to do so."

    I heard of it but never saw it. I know it usually makes "worst movies ever made" lists.

    I saw it in theater and vaguely remember it. But I sat thru it and was entertained.
