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.

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.

I liked his performance in "RAISING ARIZONA"..

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...

Fortunately, I've only seen two Tom Cruise movies. That has lasted me for life.
