Hey, she's damned fine to look at, but a nuclear physicist?  Um...no.

14.) Michael Madsen as Vladimir in Bloodrayne
Uwe Boll movies are usually miscast with big names.  Boll decides to have an actor who typically plays wise guy roles to hold down a role as a vampire hunter.  As an honerable mention in that movie, I'd have to say Michelle Rodriguez.
20.  Then has to be Ben Kingly as Kagen.  I've played both Bloodrayne games and scene both movies.  The movies arn't even close to the games.

21.  Arnold Schw..I'm not even going to attempt it...as Mr Freeze in Batman and Robin.

Lagomorphs: menace or underutilized resource?

Ben Affleck. People complain about Keanu Reeves being wooden; if so, Affleck is petrified wood. He even did a poor job playing himself in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. How sad is that?

Samuel L Jackson as Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels.  I know he's a fan boy who got to be in it but he's much too good of an actor for that role.

Don't know what # we're up to but I'd like to add the entire cast of VAMPIRELLA, including the director and production staff, but most especially the costumer.

Both of mine are from Ed Wood.  Both Sarah Jessica Parker as Dolores Fuller and Jeffrey Jones as Criswell.  Jeffrey Jones wasn't that bad, but there were actors out there who could do Criswell better.  SJP was IMO not that great for Dolores.

34.) (i counted)  George Clooney as Batman - It wasn't just the nipples on the batsuit that stunk. Then again, most of the later series was horribly miscast.

36) Arnold Schwarzenegger playing an American in countless films  BounceGiggle

A favourite of mine, for sure. I love how they don't even acknowledge it. America's top marshal, secret agent, soldier or whatever is walking around with an Austrian accent and nobody considers that worthy of an explanation. Indeed, they play it down by giving his characters names like Douglas Quaid, Howard Langston and Adam Gibson. In that case, Victor Fries wasn't such a miscast, by virtue of at least a probable German heritage. Honestly, I almost applauded in the theatre when John Leguizamo called him a German sausage in Collateral Damage. Most memorable thing about that movie - somebody finally noticed Arnie's ancestors might not have come over on the Mayflower.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
