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.
My outfit budget is limited, ya know...
I thought the worst one in LOTR was the guy who played Aragon!
The winner, IMHO.
Yes, I do accept charge cards...so no problem! :o)
You beat me to it. Clint Eastwood in a singing role was just wrong.
I agree the Conqueror was a hoot. Ralph Fiennes played John Steed? Tell me that isn't so!
Hey, watch it.
nothin' personal......
Kevin Costner as Robin Hood. It was a joke, he didn't even have an accent!
How many will pay good money NOT to see pissant in a tutu?
GIVE ME YOUR WALLET OR THE PISSANT DANCES IN TIGHTS.....
Frankie Avalon as Smitty the frontier Tennesseean in "The Alamo." Avalon was way too urban to play that character. It ruined the movie for me whenever Avalon and his South Philly hairdo showed up in that flick.
Don't they have those in the bars in San Fran?
Talk about bad accents, how about Kevin Costner as Robin Hood?
Oh well, I liked the casting and the movie
You and my wife! I'd be quite happy never to see another musical!!
Melanie Griffith as a spy in "Shining Thru."
LOL!
Frankie Avalon definitely had his niche in areas of the film industry, but your right, he DIDN'T belong at the Alamo.
It would be like casting Christopher Walken in 'Barbershop'.
:)
All those you listed, with the exception of Rupert (who I never heard of) are painful to watch under any circumstances!!
Especially Julia!
