[David Von Pein]

What do you feel is the worst bit of casting in the history of motion pictures?

If you want to list your Top 3 or so....feel free.

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Haven't really thought about it before, but the one that immediately leaps to mind is Joey Lauren Adams as a philosophy professor in the absolutely terrible Harvard Man.

Leo DiCaprio in Titanic

 

[Angelo.M]

Leo DiCaprio in Gangs of New York.

 

[SteveGon]

Leo DiCaprio in....just kidding.

Denise Richards in The World is Not Enough - a physicist? Whatever.

I'm sure I can think of more...

 

[Jan H]

Kevin Costner as Robin Hood?

Yes, and I'm King Richard the Lionheart.


Another one that seriously annoys me is Bill Pullman as the President in that crap-fest ID4. Yeah, right.

 

[Brian Kissinger]

Anyone who has played James Bond over the mighty Steve Guttenberg.

 

[Brook K]

Keanu Reeves and Wynona Ryder as Jonathan and Elizabeth Harker in Dracula.

1. Humphrey Bogart as a vampire in The Return of Dr. X (1939).
2. Katharine Hepburn as a Chinese peasant in Dragon Seed (1944).
3. Al Pacino as a Revolutionary War rebel in Revolution (1985).

[Brian Lawrence]

Steven Webber in The Shining (97)
Winona Ryder in Alien Resurrection
Will Smith Wild Wild West

Lucille Ball in "Mame." 10 years and 2 octaves ago she might have been OK.

 

[Bill McA]

Harrison Ford in Blade Runner

 

[Zen Butler]

Harrison Ford in Blade Runner

:frowning:

I'm hurt, angry and confused

 

[Eric_E]

John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror

 

[Rain]

I'll second George's choice, and add...

Tom Cruise in Born on the Fourth of July

George Clooney in Batman and Robin

Pierce Brosnan as Bond.

 

[Dheiner]

Edward G. Robinson in The Ten Commandments.

 

[Evan Case]

No (deserved) Sofia Coppola/Godfather III cracks yet?

Jake Lloyd in The Phantom Menace, a film I otherwise like. Hideously unnatural and lacking in youthful charm.

Willard Scott in Schindler's List

And don't mind Rain... he just recently bought some contaminated crack. (Don't know about Clooney as I couldn't stomache the film, but the other two are ideal, IMO)

[Brian Lawrence]

No (deserved) Sofia Coppola/Godfather III cracks yet?

To tell the truth I have always been in the minority that did not have a problem with her, I thought Pacino's acting was worse in that film.

Tony Curtis in The Black Shield of Falworth
