What is The Reinhold Touch?
1.
Having the ability to destroy any film by simply being in its cast (named after Judge Reinhold, who is the first known example of this phenomenon. based originally on "The Midas Touch", a story about a king who could turn anything to gold by touching it)
"Danny DeVito and Bette Midler would have been good in 'Ruthless People', but that movie got hit by The Reinhold Touch"
"Chris Tucker definitely has The Reinhold Touch; even Anthony Hopkins and Roman Polansky couldn't make Rush Hour 2 worth seeing; he screwed up Fifth Element with Gary Oldman and Bruce Willis; and Quentin Tarantino couldn't make 'Jackie Brown' work."
