That movie was a total flop.

Hello everyone, here's a quick mini-lesson for a lazy Sunday. Do you understand the word FLOP?

It means something completely failed. We use it for new products, movies, books, etc. that are NOT a success.

HD-DVD was a flop.

Both Crystal Pepsi and Pepsi AM flopped.

The word flop can be replaced with the word bomb.

Betamax totally bombed, VHS won the VCR wars.

In Japanese, you could say 失敗作 (しっぱいさく).

The movie Love Guru was a flop. It sucked.

I'm not surprised that Kiss of Death flopped, it was unwatchable! I left before the movie ended.

So guys what are some famous Japanese movie flops?
