Yeah, like they ever made a Dungeons & Dragons movie! Pfah!
Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda. But Cleese gets a chance to do some counter-chewing (“They kicked your hide REEEAAAALLL good, boy!”, in a faux Texas accent-they=Vietnamese).
People, people. Tsk, tsk. Have we all forgotten Elizabeth Berkley in “Showgirls” already? She left not a g-string unchewed!
:eek:
I’ll bet that version was a popular rental…
Is it possible nobody’s mentioned Gary Oldman?
Gary Oldman doesn’t chew the scenery, he blends into it like a chameleon. A chameleon that can act.
…Oh, wait. Fifth Element. Totally.

Now Gena Gershon and Kyle McLaughlin, they were the Showgirlians who had teeth.
I Drink Your Milkshake! I Drink It Up!
Ricardo Montalban as Khan in Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan.

I still don’t get why Ben Kingsley was supposed to be scary in “Sexy Beast.”
Tiny little bastard yelling “NO NO NO NO NO!”
Sit down and shut up. Grumble grumble grumble.
Shatner is the ultimate scene chewer. He compounds this buy chewing other people’s scenes, too.
While “KAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!” was probably the gold standard, another one word line MUST be the silver standard.
Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country. The cloaked Klingon ship has just been revealed due to a complex gas seeking torpedo designed by McCoy and Spock.
(Kirk, clutching his fist into a deformed claw, like he is trying to palm a glass of sherrie)
“FIRE!”
Brilliant.
In space, they are not supposed to hear you scream. I’ll bet space would make an exception for Shatner.
I want to nominate something for Christopher Lee, but I’m not sure what.
Oh, how about Adam West in the Batman TV series?
First half of the first paragraph:
There’s really not much more to it, I think.
“To waaaar!”
