What movie would you recast... with Muppets?

Sampiro, you rawk!

The Outlaw Kermit Wales.
Two mules for Sister Piggy
BraveFrog A rebellious frog fights for his small, lilly pad independance against the tyrannical Larger Evil Pond. Kilts, fight scenes and the Bad Guy played by Gonzo.

Pride & Prejudice
Kermit - Mr. Darcy.
Ms. Piggy - Elizabeth
Fozzi - Mr Bingham
Janice - Jane
Sam Eagle - Lady Catherine DeBergh ( played in drag)
Swedish Chef - Mr. Wickham.
Ocean’s 11
Danny Ocean-Kermit
Rusty - Gonzo
Tess - Ms. Piggy
Frank (The "white jack dealer) The saxaphone guy
Linus - Scooter
Livingston - Gonzo
Ruben - Dr. Bunson Honeydew
Yen, the amazing chinaman - Swedish Chef
The Mormon Twins - Waldorf & Statler
Basher - Rizzo the Rat
Saul Bloom - Fozzi Bear
Terri Benedict - Sam Eagle

There could also be a Midnight Muppet
with Grover as Ratso Rizzo

The Godmuppet with Fozzie making an offer Kermit can’t refuse

and if you want to branch out to the small screen:
Law and Order: Special Muppets Unit

Kermideus

Rowlf was always the piano playing muppet, but he learns he is replaced by the new genius, Wolfgang Kermideus Kermit. Envy insues as Rowlf tries to ruin Kermit.

It also stars:

Miss Piggy as Costanze Kermit
The Swedish Chef as Emperor Joseph
Gonzo as Kermit’s father
Scooter as the Priest who comes to interview Rowlf in the mental hospital
And those two old guys in the balcony as the Director and the Kappelmeister

Grease

Sandy -
Danny -John Travolta (They have people in the Muppet movies!)
Rizzo -Miss Piggy
Kenicky -Kermit
Leader of the other gang whose name I can’t think of right now -Oscar
Eugene the nerd -Big Bird

I started out with Prairie Dawn as Sandy, then realized she was born to play Patty Simcox.

I don’t have any good ideas for a movie, but I insist that all such movies have a cameo by the Angel puppet from the Buffy spinoff Angel tv show.

The Muppet Who Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

JFK

Kermit would be the lead lawyer.
Silveradoooooooh…Kermy
EuroTrip 2005: Muppets Take Europe
Kermy doesn’t know

There was me, Elmo, and Elmo’s three droogs, that is Big Bird, Telly, and Cookie Monster, and we sat in the Hooper Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Hooper milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what Elmo was drinking. This would sharpen Elmo up and make Elmo ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

This kind of thing is what keeps me obsessed with this board, Og help me. :smiley:

No, no, no. Rizzo the Rat would have to be Ratso Rizzo.

Any Elvis movie.

Lord of the Muppets

Animal as Golem, “Precious, precious!”
Gonzo as Sauron with all his rats.

I’m not sure how to work the rest…

Kermit as Faramir.
Piggy as Eowyn.

Robin as Frodo.

Fozzie as Bilbo.

Uncle Deadly as the Witch-King.

Uncle Deadly, for those who don’t remember the dear fellow…

They did that already. It’s called The Dark Crystal

The Good, The Bad, and the Furry

Kermit = Clint Eastwood, aka “blondie”
Animal = Eli Wallach, aka “Tuco”

Those are obvious. The Lee Van Cleef role is a bit more difficult. It’s also the best one in the movie, the way his character shifts, yet has that core of anger and greed. The only Muppet with that same core is, obviously, Bert.

Can’t you just picture the three of them doing that Muppetian stand-off at the end? Or Animal screaming “Blondie! Blondie!”

The Frog Who Wasn’t There

Kermit as the protagonist; Piggy as his wife; Gonzo as the car salesman–it all works.

Daniel

As long as we’re getting into Westerns, I can just picture Prairie Dawn shouting to Kermit, as he walks away into the sunset, “We love you, Shane!”

Wag the Frog

The Godmuppet

Kermit as Michael Corleone
Statler & Waldorf as Clemenza and Tessio
Animal as Luca Brazzi
Rowlf as Tom Hagen
Miss Piggy as Connie (who this time beats the living be-jeezus out of Carlo with a “Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeee-YAH!”)
Gonzo as Sonny
Scooter as Fredo
Sofia Coppola as an inanimate object
John Goodman as Don Vito Corleone
Alex Rocco as Moe Greene

Waldorf: It’s an old Sicilian message… Luca Brazzi sleeps with the fishes.
Statler: I hope he doesn’t get nervous or he might dry the bed.
Both: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Fredo:Mike you don’t come to Disney MGM Theme Park Muppet Land and talk to a man like Moe Greene like that!
Michael: How should I talk to him?
Fredo: Like this…
(Swedish chef enters: “Merdy cambanoordi su ploop mar har car!”)

In the Christening scene you see ping pong eyeballs popping out all over town and here lots of explosions with pinstriped Muppet dons coming out in usual cartoon exploded disarray.

Luca Brazzi could be the muppet who does the Amazing Juggling Fish act.
