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.
Nuclear Scientist? I could go nuclear on that!
Hayden Christiansen as Sebastian Shaw in Return of the Jedi

I meant Sebastian Shaw as Anakin.
Sorry, I don't frequent bars OR San Fransisco, either.
I'm just a hick from the sticks. :)
Kevin Costner in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" comes screeching to mind on that one!
How about John Goodman as Mighty Mac in "Blues Brothers 2000?
It didn't ruin the movie for me, but I always envisioned Tom Berenger(reliving his role from "Platoon") as Clark
I have been screaming about this horrible injustice for years!! Thank you. I always loved Val and thought he was the best thing about "Top Gun" (not yet mentioned here in the Cruise fest) but certainly, he was totally robbed for "Tombstone".
oh yea...Rickman cleaned his clock.
It was so good that I put it in today while I was getting ready for work.....
> You've got to be kidding. LOL
I remember hearing John Denver himself lament that he turned down the role. Of course, if he hadn't, the movie would have ended up nowhere.
Yep.........totally robbed........I thought he MADE the movie Tombstone. Withour Kilmer, that would have been equal to Costner's Wyatt Earp....
.,,,,,,,,,,,,boring,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Bingo!
Or even Hayden Christiansen as Sebastian Shaw as Anakin Skywalker.
What was he thinking when he offered himself that role. He was, after all, Producer, Director and Lead Actor. Was he triple-dipping or just trying to save money?
Hey! I like her. Any male that doesn't must be gay.
Viggio whatever his name is that played Aragorn. A weasly wimp with no kingly demeanor, voice, or presence and I can't see any elfwoman giving up immortality for a greasy brooding selfabsorbed man whose eyes are too close together.
Brosnan as James Bond. As Moneypenny's hair stylist, fine...
I think the quote "Yonda lies da castle of my fodder" is from his earlier film The Black Shield of Falworth (1954).
