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.
And Melanie was one HOT TAMALE back then!!!!!!
Amen to that
Dennis quaid as anything other than a drugged up loser. ;o)
LOL. What women see in this pencil neck is beyond me!
First role I remember of Sheen who admittedly can act...was as a homosexual dad who leaves his wife and kids
that may have preceded Pvt Slovak (?)
Rosie and Ellen come to mind.......*shudder*
Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner! That was by far the worst casting.
Yes, and yes. Neither is worth looking at, imo, and they've got voices that make my fillings vibrate.
Not all that familiar with the mom, but the daughter makes a box of rocks seem rather smart. ;o)
I don't recall seeing Ms. Danner "as herself," but I've never seen her in a TV or movie role where I didn't think she was terrible.
Even though Jack Nickolson(spelling?) did a great job in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' McMurphy was a 6' 5" red-head. It took a good portion of the movie to accept Jack.
Oh, wait. He played a perpetually lost repeat offender in that role. That would explain a lot...
Of course, any movie that has a soundtrack with Beethoven's Ninth being played on a banjo would be a hit anywheres...
Rock Hudson as a lover of women?
I liked Brad in Fight Club. Oh crap, I just broke the first rule of Fight Club.
It's in the genes, I think.
That and Chinatown are the only Jack Nicholson roles I've ever cared for.
Fortunately, I've only seen two Tom Cruise movies. That has lasted me for life.
Any sheen family member as an American.
Please. Do not defame Teddy by casting that woman as him!!!
