Oh! Oh! That film where Sean Connery played an Italian taxi driver!

I think any film where Sean Connery attempted to do another accent was quite painful...

The shit actor from Hitman name is Tim Olyphant hes in deadwood and played the baddie i the new Die Hard. Sean Bean is God like although i hate sharpe. I like Jason Statham say in Crank but he doesnt have the coldness to pull off 47

I might get flack for this, but I hate Sean Bean as Sharpe.

I read the books first and he doesnt fit with th emental image I have, wrong height, wrong hair, especially when hes standing beside o'malley, but as for actually portraying the character sometimes clueless but ruthless when needs be hes fantastic, I'm willing to overlook the physical this time for presence. when I read the books now i dont imagine sharpe as bean, but I still think he plays the role fantastically

Yeah he is a bit too much of a comedy character really.

[paladin]

he has a wierd mannerism that makes him hard to cast well imho. he did an awesome job in deadwood, and kind of okay in the girl next door, but i didnt like him in diehard nor in catch and release

and hitman is a fucking videogame movie so get over it!

Will Smith in I Am Legend.

Actually, I think Steven Seagal fits perfectly in most of his movies. He's a genre all by himself after all

Echoing my thought in the other thread -Keanu Reeves in Dracula. You keep expecting him to say 'dude' or 'excellent' at the end of every sentence despite his piss poor english accent.

[Binder of Demons]

I agree to a point Cougar, but the biggest crime in DRACULA was the casting of Sir Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing. Talk about overacting. I didn't expect anything other than a wooden performance from Keanu, but Hopkins' terrible effort was unacceptable.

And another old gripe in terms of casting. Halle Berry as STORM. A very good looking plank, but a plank none the less. From the badass versions of Storm I remember from long ago (and her being a bit older) I always thought ANGELA BASSETT would have been great. But I guess she wasn't considered young/pretty enough.

Well my biggest problem with this would have been the way they interpreted Storms abilities, didn't think they really understood what her powers are supposed to be.

I'll also offer Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls, I mean the films a car crash but watching her trying to be sexy is painful.

[Macros]

Showgirls is awesome
In a terrible way

I thought old liz played the part well, shes trying too hard, Isnt that her problem as a dancer as well? (thought she was hotter than gina gershon anyway, shes nice but sometimes a little creepy)

[Cougar]

Good god! You think I can remember the plot?! Gina Gershon is bloody creepy I'll agree on that.

[Macros]

imbd it, theres some interesting trivia on it
Berkley was naked for 20 mins in total, 1/6 of the film!!! and she only got paid $100,000

I cut out the totally uninteresting ones :

'Joe Eszterhas' came up with the idea for this script while on vacation at his home in Maui, Hawaii. Based on the idea he scribbled on a napkin, he was advanced $2 million to write the script and picked up an additional $1.7 million when the studio produced it into a film.

The filmmakers wanted Madonna to play Cristal Conners and 'Drew Barrymore' to play Nomi Malone. The name card Gaye takes off the mirror when she shows Nomi her table in the dressing room even says "Drew."

Set an all-time RAZZIE Award record with 13 nominations (one or more in all 11 categories of the 1996 Awards). Its seven "wins" tie it with Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000) as the second most dis-honored film in RAZZIE history (I Know Who Killed Me (2007) now holds the dubious distinction with eight "wins").

When the film swept The 16th Annual RAZZIE Awards, Paul Verhoeven turned up in person to accept Worst Director and Worst Picture. He was the first director to ever turn up to collect the Award.

Elizabeth Berkley was paid only $100,000 for playing the lead in the film. When a special V.I.P. edition boxed set was released she requested $2,500 to be interviewed. They declined.

Elizabeth Berkley spends approximately 20 minutes, or 1/6 of the entire film, completely nude.

The only time actresses complained that they felt uncomfortable was during the scenes with the monkeys, who constantly stared at their bare breasts.

Charlize Theron auditioned for the role of Nomi Malone.

Sharon Stone auditioned for the role of Crystal Connors.

Gina Gershon declined to recreate the Sharon Stone leg crossing scene from Basic Instinct (1992).

Jenny McCarthy auditioned for the lead and was very much in the running until it was discovered that she couldn't dance.

One of MGM's top 20 all-time bestsellers.

This film is listed among the Top Ten Best Bad Films ever made in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson's book THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE MOVIE GUIDE.


ETA: charlize theron and sharon stone, now THAT would have made it a film!!!

[Cougar]

I can't believe someone picked up $3.7m for writing it, it writes itself!

hmmm, you might be right about that...

[Cougar]

So long as 'plank' is a genre.

not that this is a good genre mind you. Somewhat entertaining sure, but not good. But as for the theme of the thread, I don't think he deserves a spot

[flea]

Any actor who appeared in episodes 1-3 of Star Wars. I think Lucas tries to destroy actors--perhaps his goal is to make a case for eliminating them entirely and using CG exclusively.

This post fails. And the poster fails with it.

Ewan Mcgregor was fantastic.
