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.
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.
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?
"I laughed, I cried, I choked on my fermented mare's milk."
ReplyDeleteThere's speculation that the role did kill him.

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

ReplyDeleteAnd Susan Hayward as Mrs. Mongol.

Yep,
ReplyDeleteI can forgive John Wayne many things,
but not "Ishtar Goes to Mongolia."
Interesting about the fallout thing, though.
RE: Ms. Hayward: "She is wuh-man. MUCH wuh-man!"
ReplyDeleteI 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.
