Ray Parkes (Darth Maul) playing Little John in just about any Robin Hood movie. Lochsley would not only get beaten but would probably get his head beaten in (and stylishly at that).
What about Alicia Silverstone in Aliens. “You want me crawl through that? AS IF!!!”
or instead of Get Away From Her You Bitch … “Oh puh-lease. Like taking hostages is just like SO yesterday!!”
“A PLANET WHERE APED EVOLVED FROM SOYLENT GREEN?”
Not to mention Toad in the X-Men. I flipped when I found that out.
ROTFLMAO, especially at Gilligan’s suggestions and Jerry Lewis as Indiana Jones!
William Shatner as Hamlet:
“To BE, or not TO be, that IS the QUEStion!”
Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura in “Marathon Man”:
“Is it safe?” “I just had tacos for lunch so it’s not safe at all.”
Sean Penn as Spiccoli in “Dead Man Walking”:
“Dude, the death penalty is, like, totally bogus!”
I’d found out beforehand so I roared with laughter when he produced the Maul-like flourish after ‘locking’ Storm in the elevator, but only about half the cinema laughed with me. A damn good in-joke.
Is it true they wanted Christopher Walken to play Han Solo???
Sorry, I just can’t see it!!!
Damn! I’ve tried so hard to avoid ULs, and one finally snags me. I’ve heard the Ronald Reagan-as-Rick-Blaine story so often, and in so many respectable places, that I assumed it was true.
Still an interesting image:
“Well, Major Strasser, there you go again …”
Samuel L Jackson as Rhett Butler?
“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a ##&@ you &%, $**, ^#ing ho of a %#^&(#”
grin I knew dpr would be good at this game.
How about …
Sharon Stone as Danielle in Ever After …
“Do you like what you see my Prince?”
Or Matt LeBlanc as the Prince in the same movie.
He gets knocked off his horse and turns to her and says “WHAT THE HE… ooh… ah, How YOU doin’?”
Lucky for me I’ve decided to stop consuming beverages while reading the SDMB.
To get back to Charlton Heston, in Ben-Hur he was actually offered the Stephen Boyd(Messala) role first. I’d like to have seen him as the bad guy. When it was settled that he would be Judah he tried to get Chuck Connors for the bad guy.
William Shatner as Julius Caesar:
"I…rather tell thee…what is to be fear’d…
Than…what I fear…for always…I am Shatner…
Err…Caesar"
–Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene ii
(And god knows how he’d overreact after Brutus stabs him…)
:eek:
Robert De Niro instead of George Burns in Oh God
“Yeah, I’m God. What the f*** do you want? You praying to me? You praying to ME?”
It’s a Wonderful Life – Rodney Dangerfield as George Bailey – “No, I ain’t jumping off this bridge, although I should, let me tell ya, my life sucks! That Potter is screwing me over! Although that’s the only screwing I’m getting lately, let me tell ya, my wife, she likes to talk to me after sex. Last night she called me from a motel! Then there’s my kid, I just got him a BB gun for Christmas, and he gets me a sweatshirt with a bullseye on it! What are you supposed to be with those wings, anyway, some kind of fairy? Oh, an angel, yeah, that’s different! Hey, what are you doing, stop pushing me, boy, I tell ya, I don’t get no respect, no respect at all!”
Return of the Jedi – Angelina Jolie as Princess Leia – Finding out that Luke is her brother only increases her romantic feelings for him.
Raising Arizona – Anthony Hopkins as H.I. – “I’ll be taking these Huggies, and whatever cash is in the register…and this bottle of Chianti and these fava beans…you see, I’m having a friend for dinner.”
Dogma – Fran Drescher as God – They wouldn’t have to explain that her voice would make a person’s head explode.
Wallace Shawn (Vizzini from The Princess Bride) as Luke Skywalker.
“Luke, I am your father.”
“Incon-thiev-able!”
How about Kathy Bates’ character from Misery as Mary Poppins! Scary!! I can just imagine it -
“Children - you take your oogie medicine, or your legs will never be the same!!!” (brandishing a sledghammer menacingly)
Keanu Reeves in Young Guns: Shoot the hostage!!
We don’t have a hostage
Bogus!!
Or to quote Robin Williams:
Stallone could do Hamlet: “To be… or what”
