The plot to kill John Wayne

John Wayne as Genghis Khan  OMFG!


I beg to differ with the chap who placed this #7 on the Top 10 Miscast Movie Roles. It's a no-contest Numero-uno.   My college room-mate Jerry Bowman and I snuck into the Beltsville Drive-In (now a Costco Store) to see this piece of crap.  After about 30 minutes we experienced buyer's remorse, and snuck back out. It's a tribute to Duke that this role didn't kill him.

There's speculation that the role did kill him.

I always wondered about the source of the slang word "jamoka".

A decent list, and some good suggestions in the comments, but they missed what has to be one of the all-time worsts: Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee in Gettysburg.

And Susan Hayward as Mrs. Mongol.
Yurt yurt yurt that's hilarious!

Yep,
I can forgive John Wayne many things,
but not "Ishtar Goes to Mongolia."
Interesting about the fallout thing, though.

I want to note the passing of Dennis Hopper. I can't think of a single movie he made that I didn't like. R.I.P. and a special prayer Dennis.

I love movies and my favorite scene of all time, hands down THE BEST IMHO, was in True Romance with Christopher Walken and Hopper

"....yeah, years ago, your great, great, great, grandmother f____d a n____r, yeah....you're part eggplant." wow, Hopper was great, how many guys will out shine Walken in a scene?

Travel well Dennis
