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.
I suspect you're right.
Add Claude Van Damme to that list. ;o)
No kidding.
I love clint. But I refuse to see his "tender" movies. Give me the Eiger Sanction and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly!!!
That one's way off my radar. Trick or Treat? LOL
If that is one of those British period pieces, chances are good I'll never see it! :o)
I cannot tolerate Dustin Hoffman, at least since the Graduate.
I shall give all the credit to you for recognizing such non-talent. ;O)
And Chuck Norris. Though I have a soft spot for him because he's a conservative.
Edward G. Robinson as ??Pharoah?? in, what was it, The Ten Commandments.
A Pharoah with a NY accent and a cigar hanging out his mouth. Yeah, I believed it.
EGR was a pleasure to watch in any movie. Despite the bronx accent and cigar. LOL
No,
it's the exact opposite,
it's a "Hollywood" version of an historical event using up and coming 'younguns' and stars. Hillary swank plays the female lead. She looks all of 12 and is a size 0. It's a joke.
Marie Antionette looks, well, OK, 13 and is mebby a size 2. It was totally embarrassing. Like no one read their history books or looked at any portraits of the royal family.
Mostly, the clothing of the era for the females was meant for a female body that these girls didn't have. So it whole movie looked silly.
Well, Briish or hollywood, I'm definitely not renting it now!!!
Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck in the new Battlestar Galactica. Matt Damon in the "Bourne" movies, Sean Connery in The Avengers, Judi Dench as 'M' in the 007 series, Bruce Willis in The Jackal, anyone crazy enough to star in Napoleon Dynamite (perhaps the worst move ever made).
How Keanu continues to get work baffles me!
I only saw the Batman with Michael Keaton. It was awful.
I like Mel. But even he can't get me to see a chick flick. ANd having Alda in it is further deterent!!
Don't forget the would-be casting blunders... those where Hollywood *wanted* a particular actor for a role, but couldn't get them for it. The one that comes to mind was Hollywood's 1st choice for the Richard Gere role in "An Officer and a Gentleman." They were seeking for the role
none other than
John Denver.
I've only seen the Bond movie with Dench. What a stench!!!
To be fair, I did like him in the first Matrix.
