The Razzie Award for Worst Screenplay, presented annually since 1980 at the Golden Raspberry Awards, dishonors the year's most egregious film screenplays. The inaugural award in 1980 went to Bronté Woodard and Allan Carr for the infamous musical Can't Stop the Music. Over its history, the award has frequently recognized poorly executed scripts, often even those based on established properties like Mommie Dearest (1981) and Howard the Duck (1986).
Prolific Razzie "winner" Sylvester Stallone was repeatedly cited for his screenwriting efforts, including for Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) and Rocky IV (1985). Other notable recipients include the epic flop Heaven's Gate (1981) and Bill Cosby's much-maligned Leonard Part 6 (1987), underscoring the award's consistent recognition of widely panned film writing.
