Hollywood's 7 Worst Casting Blunders (vanity)
PA Times | 9/27/05 | Dr. Pissant

Posted on 09/27/2005 12:37:14 PM PDT by pissant

We've all sat through many movies that we've deemed a total waste of time. For guys, it's usually when your better half drags you to a hideous chick-flick. For the gals, it's usually having to sit thru gangster movies on Turner Classic Movies with hubby.

But one thing both men and women agree on is that Hollywood has a knack of putting at least one actor in every movie that is horribly miscast! Here at the Pissant Univeristy for Knowledge & Entertainment Studies (PUKES) we've compiled the top 7 miscast thesbians in Hollywood history!

Top 7 Movie Miscasts

7. Will Smith as James West in Wild, Wild West

I only lasted 20 minutes because of this royal screwup.

6. Mark Hammill as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars

Way too wimpy and annoying

5. Denise Richards as Christmas Jones in 007's The World is not Enough

Nuclear scientist? She ruined the movie

4. Colin Ferrell as Alexander in ALexander

Any military leader that looked like such a wuss would have been murdered by his generals in a nanosecond.

3. Ali McGraw as some chick in Love Story

As exciting as peeling paint

2. Brad Pitt as some dude in the Fight Club

About as believable being a toughie as I am being a ballerina

1. John Wayne as Ghengis Khan in The Conqueror

A cowboy Chinaman? Yikes. Though I did enjoy it for some reason.

Well, did anybody really care that Denise Richards doesn't even know how to spell "Ph.D."? She's not there to act, man, she's there to be eye candy. Although, in fairness, there have been some Bond girls that were actually pretty good actresses.

I prefer Mark Hamill to:

Jake "Weeee" Lloyd/Hayden "Noooooo" Christiansen as Anakin Skywalker - since when has the most feared man in the universe been such a wimp?

Danny Glover as a cop in the Lethal Weapon movies.

Hulk Hogan as a nanny. (One of the worst movies of all time)

Will Smith in Wild Wild West was pretty rough.

Leo DeCaprio as the 'balls of steel' Howard Hughes was pretty bad, only a notch better than casting Shirley Temple as Hughes, and only two notches better than casting an older Shirley Temple Black as Hughes!

I hear Leo will be playing a young Teddy Roosevelt soon. Bad, bad, bad.
