Title: Their most embarrassing roles? Post by: Allhallowsday on August 02, 2012, 07:24:34 PM MICKEY ROONEY as Mr. Yunioshi in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961) is embarrassing. It's a stereotypical racist impersonation. I think he might be getting a little koo-koo in his old age, but I still love him, though I suspect he might deny any racism. It is what it is... I could not find a clip of him from the film on YouTube, but you get a quick peek at him in this trailer at 2:17:

In The Return of Captain Invincible, I kept getting this weird vibe that the director must've really hated Christopher Lee. Title: Re: Their most embarrassing roles?

say what you like but IMO this film is a horrible mess and Hopper's "serious actor" integrity is compromised here! Title: Re: Their most embarrassing roles?

The man is beyond shame. :teddyr: Everyone in the cast of NORTH - which included Elijah Wood, Bruce Willis, Dan Ackroyd, Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, just to name a few. George Clooney and Laura Dern were in the epic fail GRIZZLY 2 (so was Charlie Sheen, but f*ck him) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAfhowvgIG4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtNepRsK3vA Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Michael Shannnon and my beloved Fassy all embarrassed themselves pretty good in JONAH HEX.

Post by: FatFreddysCat on August 03, 2012, 02:51:54 PM MICKEY ROONEY as Mr. Yunioshi in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961) is embarrassing. I think Mickey would probably be more embarrassed by his turn as "Joe Petto," the toymaker in "Silent Night Deadly Night Part 5" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDLLVtYn6k0 ...particularly since, as legend has it, Mickey was one of the celebrities who protested against the first "SNDN" film and had it driven out of theatres.

([url]http://lindachorney.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/tom-hanks-bosom-buddies.jpg[/url]) I've heard him talk about it a bit. He has a pretty healthy attitude about it and seems like a cool guy, actually. He basically says he thought that'd be his meal ticket for a decade, and had no idea if he even had a future in acting after it. He's grateful it took him to where it did, and has no regrets there. Patricia Richardson (the mom in Home Improvement) has a role in Christmas Evil. It's not really embarrassing, just the movie is. Also, George Kennedy in like every film he's been in in 35 years. He's an Oscar winner, and is in an evil puppet cat movie. Title: Re: Their most embarrassing roles? Post by: fulci420 on August 07, 2012, 06:42:26 PM Both Kevin Costner and Dennis Hopper appear in the abysmal "Waterworld". However I think Hopper has appeared in enough crap both theatrical and straight to video that it is likely not his worst role.
John Leguaziamo who has the ability to put in solid performances (see Carlito's way, Causalities of War, Spun etc...) but leads in "The Pest" which may be the worst comedy I have ever seen. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mila Kunis make early appearances in Critters 3. Everyone who appeared in Mission to Mars. Title: Re: Their most embarrassing roles? Post by: JaseSF on August 07, 2012, 08:36:57 PM Brian Donlevy in The Fat Spy and Gammera the Invincible comes to mind.
Title: Re: Their most embarrassing roles? Post by: FatFreddysCat on August 07, 2012, 09:27:36 PM Which do you think Jennifer Lopez is more embarrassed about when she looks back -- "Gigli" or "Anaconda?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTNGQEbqhGU (I do have to say, I give this film credit for the scene where the snake eats Jon Voight and then vomits him up whole later on -- which is something I'd never seen in a film before!) Title: Re: Their most embarrassing roles? Post by: fulci420 on August 07, 2012, 11:36:39 PM Nobody should feel ashamed for Anaconda! It's the best creature feature of the nineties!

I think I can top this. Helen Mirren bared not only her breasts, but her entire body for her role of Gosh Boyle in Ken Russell's "Savage Messiah." She has said that she hoped she'd get lucky and break her leg coming out of her trailer, so she wouldn't have to do her nude scene in the film. No such luck. She had to do it.

Post by: fulci420 on August 11, 2012, 07:11:04 PM Saw Rounders on tv the other night and remembered just how bad John Malkovich is as the russian villain. Horrible cheesy accent and an overblown preformance that really devalues the scenes with him in it. Strange because he is usually terrific in films I see him in. Still a great film worth watching.
Title: Re: Their most embarrassing roles? Post by: Allhallowsday on August 11, 2012, 10:52:11 PM Frankly, I think some of SPENCER TRACY's "actorly" performances are pure HAM, sliced THICK. I do think he got very good, later, with KATE HEPBURN as a foil, and particularly when he gets older. But, SPENCER TRACY' as a Portugese fisherman with that corny accent...??? :question: :tongueout: :lookingup: They gave him the academy award for it. Maybe they were impressed by his sheer nerve. I think it's terrible.

I mean before any TV or/and movie role... Commercials. I have seen a lot off them that are so awkard you just would never live them down. And in the mean time before your famous everyone who knows you, will tease you for being in an acne cream commerical, or a really horrible imformercial.
I know this is not exsactily what this thread is about, but I feel this area off topic also is worth bringing up xD I posted Commericals I have seen in Australian TV, (There are plently from around the world all over youtube however.) I could not find one add that put me off orange juice when I was a kid, "just squeeze just squeeze please please please!" Was how the add went... It also was exstreamily sexist. This add was more confussing than anything ... Very awkard for the girls in this add. I mean imagine explaing to your friends and peers what the hell you are doing in this commerical, where you run screaming to new tampons in your supermarket. Tampon adds are very hard to be not awkard. But this one just made me cringe watching it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rOzHkTENsk magazine adds for this product had to same idea, but a caption off one enthusiastic girl screaming in excitment for tampons... She looked like she was on drugs. I Felt too bad for her to make jokes about that add. >_< But wait theres more! This one is worst ... So awkard, And trust me it's about another awkard to disscuss product... This time to do with men. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nJLMwiYAg0 You don't believe me, that these commericals can possibly put a damper on your social life and image? The lady in the next Commerical was kicked out off her church when seen in this add for AMI... Which is also a sour note for the church for not being really that christian at all. But still being in awkard commercials, does give you awkard situations! There are more Adds by AMI, that IDK I will want to show everyone on here... They only get shown late at night here in Australia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcNmXILlBCs Seriously choose what add you choose to be in. Some just are not worth it.

Post by: El Misfit on August 12, 2012, 11:30:43 PM Some would say that Schwarzenegger's role of Mr. Freeze in Batman and Robin, but I say his role in Junior was worse. Why, because Schwarzenegger is an action star, not a pregnant man with no action. so to put it, Mr. Freeze > Dr. Alex Hesse

I LOVE that movie though, and since I don't really care for Tom Cruise, I quickly get over it! Darkness is probably one of Tim Curry's more un-embarrassing roles.
