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.

I'm a terrible judge of men's looks. I think John Wayne is what a man should look like. LOL

It's probably good that you are a terrible judge of men's looks. ;-)

John Wayne's not bad, actually. Loved him in 'The Quiet Man'. Remember Mike Connors, in 'Mannix'? Same kind of rugged good looks. I was in love with Mannix as a little girl. But, shhhh!, the pc culture has scared away all the rugged men in favor of metrosexuals, and they don't want people to be reminiscing about the rugged men!

The Howard Huges cameo appearance in 'Tucker' was awesome, even if it never happened!

Any students of Tucker or Hughes know if it did actually happen?

I feel that way about Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts. They always play the same person no matter what the movie or character. They just play themselves. IMHO: it's bad acting...

Bingo! For me, it's Julia Roberts in anything Zero range or believability. Ruins any movie she goes near. Maybe now that she's has kids, she will give it a rest already and give us all some blessed relief from stinking up the screens!

"And his attacks on Brooke Shields, shameless."

Yeah. There was something--possibly--insane about
those. Made me wonder about. . . .

They made more Bond movies after he left?

Sure. Diamonds are Forever was after Sean Connery left. And whether or not you consider it part of the canon, so was Never Say Never Again.

Madonna in ANY role.

I thought Evita was a good role for her.

When I saw this thread I thought of something else: the biggest Oscar rip-offs, like Val Kilmer's not receiving even a nomination for his role of Doc Holliday in "Tombstone."

I don't know if there's enough material here, perhaps freepers will rise to the occasion.
