Right on! They needed somebody more like a young Rutger Hauer.

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.
You mean you didn't think she was really good as a screeching harridan in "Who's That Girl"?
Or an Academy Award level actress in "Shangai Surprise" with her wonderful co actor Sean Penn?
Just a little sarcasm here.
Clint Eastwood in Bridges of Madison County. The bathtub scene still gives me nightmares.
Right on! They needed somebody more like a young Rutger Hauer.
Although casting Ozzy Osbourne as the preacher complaining about Heavy Metal lyrics was pure comedic genius.
The whole friggin' female cast in 'The Affair of the Necklace'....
ALL the wimmen were a size 0 or less...dressed in period costumes designed for FULL FIGURE WOMEN. They looked like little girls playing dress-up, with flat-front corsets just laying there with nothing to work with. Worst of all was the chick playing Marie Antionette. This girl looked like someone shoved a bunch of toothpicks in a corset and told them to speak.
Ruined the entire movie for me, because (to me) one of the reasons the peasants were angry was that the upper class was so noticably 'healthier' than they were.
Robin Williams as Peter Pan in "Hook"
Sean Connery and Dustin Hoffman as father and son in "Family Business"
"You'd better not hurt her Dracula dude!"
Cedric the Entertainer as...Ralph Kramden ?????
George Clooney as ....Batman ????
James Cagney in....ONE, TWO THREE ????
Cagney was great in "One, Two, Three" that's one of my all-time favorite movies.
What's up with black versions of old white TV characters (Wild Wild West, The Honeymooners)?
I thought Brad did a fine job in it. Loved that movie.

Sean Penn as Rocky.
I pretty much know that anything that dumdum is in is gonna suck.
We don't want Alan Alda, that's for sure....
Cagney and comedy just doesn't go together for me...
Oh yeah,
And John Wayne as Ghengis was just weird...sad and strange.
My OTHER Favorite screw up is Tony Curtis in "The Vikings" with Kurt Douglas...
Yes, he's famous for the "Yonda lies da castle of me faddah" line.
