Had to riff off the Samuel L. Jackson thread.
Replace any role in any film with Jar-Jar Binks.
As in that thread, Jar-Jar Gandalf. :eek:
“Meesa think you should be running now Frodo! Eesa big Balrog!”
Jar-Jar as Neo in The Matrix. Of course, it would be a very short movie. Morpheus would arrange to have him killed off then deny ever having believed in “The One”.
Jar-Jar as a sidekick character in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. If only to piss off Sean Connery.
Jar-Jar as Bosley in a Charley’s Angels movie.
Jar-Jar Ben Hur.
Damn, I wish I had animation skills. These could be really bad, but fun. Perhaps the Robot Chicken guys, since they’re tight with Lucas, could make an entire Jar-Jar does other movies special.
Just out of curiousity - I think that the greater challenge would be to come up with a film that would not be ruined by the addition of Jar Jar Binks.
Any film.
Even Night of the Lepus would be made worse by that, I think. “Meesa not rabbit feed!”
How about Jar-Jar as Samuel Jackson in Snakes on a Plane?
Meesa no like these snakes on meesa plane.
replace Mr. Pink with him…
The Seventh Seal: “Yousa gonna die…!”
As James Cagney, in anything… “Youssa dirty, dirty rat, you iss.”
Manos: The Hands of Fate might just be improved…
Torgo Binks: You wasa his first wife, but he’sa grown sicka you. Himsa don’t want you any more, meesa don’t even want you anymore!
Yup, that’s an improvement!
Besides, Jar-Jar has better knees than Torgo.
About a week ago, the webcomic Darths & Droids had this gem. The premise of the strip is Episode I as played in a DnD-esque RPG. Jar Jar is played by the little sister of one of the other players (Obi-Wan, I think). Read the artists’ note down below.
Citizen Binks
The Godfather Meesa make himsa offer he no refuse.
Airplane! Meesa serious. And no call me Shirley!
How about Battlefield Earth? You’d think just about anything would improve that:
Jar-Jar (as Terl): Meesa think these man-animals run goldsa processor, hmm?
I mean, heck, he’s already got the tongue for the part.
Jar-Jar in Fargo as Carl Showalter would not make it worse, but would probably elicit audience cheers are a certain key moment. It is a good fit, he has bug-eyes too.
“Meesa wanna go somewhere where meesa can get drinks and feesha, okeeday, not more fookin’ pancakesa, okeeday. Come on, man! Alritha- here’s idea. Meesa knowsa place outsidsa Brainerd wheres weesa get feesha, whacha think?”
