Worst performance by a current or former professional athlete in a movie?

[Fearless Freep]

Howie Long in "Broken Arrow"

He was pretty good in that, by far not the worst athlete turned actor


Does Jesse Ventura in "Abraxas" count?

Wasn't one of the US Olympic gymnastic guys in a movie.

"Gymkata" I was suprised it hadn't beem mentioned

[BlackAngel]

...Michael Jordan in Space Jam.

Bulls**t!  I can't hear you, sound off like you got a pair.

[Fearless Freep]

Again, Micheal Jordon in "Space Jam", green screan acting with a bunch of cartoons, is not the worst

[Feathertop]

I'd say Joe Namath in CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO.  My wife and her friends often "counter-program" against the New Year's Day Bowl-athon that my male buddies and I watch by holding their own NAMATHON of sorts, showing CC AND COMPANY, THE LAST REBEL, CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO and some episodes of THE WAVERLY WONDERS that one of them bought off somebody who taped them decades ago and sold them over the internet!

[George]

Yeah, I think you mean Mitch Gaylord in American Anthem.   Yikes!

Don't forget Evil Kenevil....."Are you the head honco of this hacienda?"...lol

[Bernie]

Rita Somebody "Champion Woman Wrestler of All Meheeco" in Racket Girls

[Funk, E.]

Wwll, if bodybuilding is considered a sport then Arnuld in Hercules in New York has got to be a contender

[Vermin Boy]

...Pro wrestler Tor Johnson!

[Dunners]

least Tor was fun to watch though, not like howie long michal jordan or shaq in anything they do.

[Evan3]

Former 49ers (maybe current too) defensive lineman in Reindeer games, What a god awful movie.


Also, anyone who the main characters have to say, look its world famous so and so, for example, that mountain climber in Vertical Limit.
