Oh the films I will watch for the WE HATE MOVIES podcast….
But seriously WTF is this nonsense and how did it get made! Just read the synopsis.
John Derek's final film as a director is also his worst, and that's saying something. Derek was quite possibly the worst major filmmaker in movie history, and his alleged comedy GHOSTS CAN'T DO IT is little more than a self-indulgent home movie and travelogue where a widowed wife (Bo Derek, of course) tries to find a younger body to house the spirit of her late, virile husband (Anthony Quinn). With scenes shot in Wyoming, Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Hong Kong, GHOSTS has some lovely location work, but as usual, Derek shows his talent at capturing beautiful images--whether its a location or his wife's body--and his complete inability to tell an interesting story, which is basically Derek facing his own mortality…

disgustingly horny self insert fantasy where john derek imagines himself living rent free in his much younger wife’s head after he dies
the fact this is Trump’s first film role is proof God is real
But John and Bo CAN do it: make a great movie that is!
No, seriously, this is fucking garbage.
File this under:
- Once again there are plenty of classics I haven't seen, but I still chose to watch this
- You gotta see it to believe it
- This was made by someone who is not human, trying to figure out what humans are
- Movies you don't expect to have Donald Trump
- Weird double features I put myself through (This and To Catch a Yeti)
Although I don't have a credit, I did have the pleasure of working on this film, alongside my then-fiancee, in 1988 when we were both young assistant editors. I take a strange kind of pride in my small involvement in what is truly one of the worst films of all time.

0/10 film.
Painfully unfunny, startlingly misogynistic, and thoroughly nonsensical, John Derek's Ghosts Can't Do It is yet more proof that Bo Derek has never been cut out for acting and is a film so jaw-dropping in its badness that even the most scathing criticisms I can give it would be doing it no justice. When your film is such a shit-pile that Donald Trump gives the best and most level-headed performance, that's a pretty good sign that you royally fucked up.
The absolute FUCKING nerve for Ghosts Can't Do It to have a painful rape joke, while the whole movie revolves around Derek's dead and spiritual husband, wanting to possess a stranger's body to connect with his wife, and to have the sexy times (she has to KILL the man first, may I add).
Surprise, surprise, it happens, offscreen sex occurs, THUS acting as rape (think of Wonder Woman 1984, for example). Wow, what a knee-slapping 'comedy'. Bo and John Derek continue to be a terrible duo, with the former's lousy acting, the latter's embarrassing writing/directing, and the premise as a whole being baffling to witness for an excruciating 95 minutes.
Oh, to make things worse, DONALD FUCKING TRUMP shows up, and he's abysmal to the core. I thought Bolero was bad, now I have to apologize to the former, lol.
