Ok the point of this thread, is to take a really good movie, and ruin it, by changing the actors/actresses with someone else that is at least knowable, and explain the hilarity of that change, screwing up the movie, and therefor our lives. Shall we begin?
Ill start with the 80s classic, The Labyrinth. Such an awesome movie, and even people that cant stand musicals, enjoys how cool this film was. But I wonder......who could I strategically replace, that would turn this otherwise great film, into a Cleveland Steamer? Why, the Goblin King of course! David Bowie did a really good job playing this roll, even if his package almost slaps you in the face at times. So Ill change Bowie, with..........ready?.............. Axel Rose! Imagine ALL the songs, instead of being sang the Bowie way, were instead sang, the Axel Rose way!
Instead of smooth, and somewhat hypnotic sounds, itd be ear piercingly high screeches that just go on and on way too long! leaving the poor girl standing awkwardly waiting for her moment! And worst yet! When hes not making ones ears bleed, he would be incredibly abusive to the other members of the movie and for no reason at all! Claiming that this is a great film, because HE was there, and that everyone is pulling down the awesomeness of the Labyrinth, simply for not being as awesome as he is! And the smoking, dear GOD the smoking just wouldnt stop! The poor girl would be asking where her brother was, and would barely be able to ask in between all the coughing.
So think of that disaster folks. In stead of
*bowie version* Dance the magic dance, jump magic jump!
Youd get
*screechy high pitched Axel rose version*
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAA AAAA YAAAAAAAAAANCEEeeeeeee..........*inhale* ME-YAWGIK DAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNCEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.*middle fingers and backhands*
So cmon DAKKA!!! Wow me with your movie mastery of ruiningness. I havnt been incredibly impressed with your efforts of late, too little thought, and too much wanting to try and sound cool. Reach into your brains, swap out good actors with terrible ones, a super sexy seductress in a nice romance, with Sandra Bernhard. And for the love of all things holy, explain why it would be such a bad idea, in what ways would it ruin the movie. Ill punch everyone in the neck if you just say "this guy" give it some thought, let the creativity come out for once! NOW GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my brother go to friends houses sometimes and we start commentating during it. I mean its not the useless cruddy ones but the Hilarious where everyone pauses the movie because they are laughing from our commentary.
You guys suck. I honestly cant tell, if you HONESTLY dont get the point of this thread, or your trolling. Either way, how bout you re-read the guide lines and try again ya?
Having a little think I can imagine a silly one would be replacing the guy who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films with Jack Sparrow-styled Johnny Depp. Instead of a very serious and badass wizard you have a very nervous, humerous and quite cowardly wizard who can barely do anything besides saving himself
That made me crack a smile, just thinking of a bumbling Gandolf is comic gold. Instead of riding a horse down that big ass hill, to go head long into an Orc army, he takes one step, and trips, tumbling all the way down the mounting, with such racket that it stops the battle in its tracks, as EVERYONE watches the poor wizardly bashing every rock on the way down.
How about weird Al playing yoda in the original Star Wars trilogy.
I was going to suggest Carrot Top playing Anakin in II and III, but they ruined them without him.
And my last would be Sean Connery playing Borat.
Ive only ever watched a few minutes of Borat, but from that, I can tell you that Sean Connery would make that movie so much better to watch, and Id probably laugh more as well!
Really? Your fething trolling for sure now. Richard Harris, or Chris Tucker would of made me laugh.......
Not trolling, at least not intentionally. Just trying to come up with ones that make me laugh and ruin good movies, for example Michael Jackson replacing the King in The King and I, him with that many children, combined with his voice and dancing, you couldn't take a king like that seriously.
Hmmmm, if only i had seen this last night at work! but let me at least add a small off the top of my head addition, I shall put on my thinking cap and discuss again later....
Replacing the lead role in 80's Horror 'Chucky' with none other than Chuck Norris! on the plus side EVERYONE would die, no chance! on the minus side, the movie would be over in scant seconds with no dialogue :-(

A definitive answer, toppable only by replacing the words Will Ferrell with Adam Sandler. Ferrell annoying as he is has a talent, though grudgingly admitted.

Nicholas Cage does not equal action star, let alone the same caliber as Ahrnuld.
Oh god. See in Arnold movies, you expect a bad accent, and so you dont notice it as much.......but we've ALL seen/heard the "Put the bunneh back in the box" scene. *shutters*

Though, Crank was kinda a Romantic Comedy...
Turn it up to 11!
Jason Statham. In everything... except his biographical film where he is played by Hugh Grant...
I was thinking more along the lines of Ricky Gervais.
Nah, everyone knows that in a biographical film you are either played by Robert Lindsey or Hugh Grant and Hugh Grant would be funnier
I got it!
It's brilliant...

Well, if you replaced arnold with Mr Connery in "The adventures of Hercules" atleast the voice would be dubbed over....
Natural Born Killers, with Nicholas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker as the leads. Watch Nick Cage attempt to be a homicidal hick and Sarah Jessica Parker attempt to be psychotic and slutty.
And then we can use Kevin Costner as the Australian news guy and watch him not even try. If you've ever seen him in Robin Hood you know what I mean.
Saving Private Ryan: with Shia LeBeouf as Captain Miller.
D-Day
*machine gun fire and explosions, people dying gruesomely*
LeBeouf/Miller: Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! *runs up the beach* Oh god! Oh god! *dives behind wall of sand* What do we do now? *bullet glances off other guy's helmet* Jesus! Oh that was so close, like so close, like you almost got killed *soldier takes off his helmet and rubs his head, only to get shot through the forehead* OH! MY! GOD! AHHHH!
Return of the Jedi: with Betty White as Princess Leia
Jabba: I will enjoy your company (licks lips)
White/Leia: Ugh!
(scene change)
*Luke comes into Jabba's palace and Jedi-tricks his way into Jabba's throne room. Jabba and his court is asleep, as is White/Leia, who is now dressed in a metal bikini*
Budgetary contraints force James Cameron to use an actual forklift truck rather than the power loader. Imagine Sigourney Weaver coming through the doors driving one of these and saying, "Get away from her, you bitch".
In what is seen as masterful choice Ridley Scott picks Chevy Chase for some tongue in cheek humour which he feels the role needs.
Roger Moore is cast as Roy Batty. Roger lends some much needed colour and gravitas to the role of the suave replicant who travels through space in a safari suit.
The film ends with a musical number called 'Laughing at the rain (replicants are awesome).'
Ridley Scotts' latest film - Sex in The City - features one of the most memorable lines of dialogue of all time:
'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Straps on fire off the shoulder of Kate Moss . I watched rhinestones glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg gate. All those moments will be lost in time...like tears in the rain...Time to die.'
If star wars was made today
Beiber= Luke
Hannah Montana =Leia
Some pretty boy=Han
On a bright side Christopher Walkin as Darth vader and sean connery as the emporer.
Replace Samuel L Jackson with Martin Lawrence
Replace Bruce Willis with Steve Austin
Replace Ving Rhames with Shaquille O'Neal
Replace Uma Thurman with Sarah Jessica Parker
Replace Christopher Walken with William Shatner
and, finally
Replace John Travolta from 1994 with John Travolta from 2012
It goes from being a campy, fun, yet dark movie that explores the tropes of B-movies in an ingenious way to being a really bad B-movie.

I know the point was to significantly alter the landscape of a movie, but dayum... that is just TOO far
It would be quite hilarious to have Carrie Fisher of today play Leia.. perhaps with Walken and Connery in your roles
Hollywood was shocked today at the death of an actor on the set of the George Lucas movie 'Star Wars'. Actors Dick Cheeney and Paul Blake were performing a scene set inside an alien bar. Dick Cheeney, cast as a rogue bounty hunter, is said to have method acted his scene where he shoots another bounty hunter, first.
Cheeney is said to have carried on as normal after firing and couldnt understand what the problem was.
Cheeney is currently being interviewed by the police as is director George Lucas, who with the aid of his special effects equipment, aimed to make video footage appear to show Blakes character, Greedo, fire first.
This isnt the first calamity to hit this troubled film. Marlon Brando, cast as space wizard Obi wan Kenobi, has as of yet failed to appear on set.

Actually, and I think people will agree here, instead of a "rom-com" (or whatever the hollywood term for these movies are)... just cast John Belushi as Don Corleone.

Whilst typing up my suggestion for John Belushi, I had a thought... how would WIll Farrell comedies be completely changed if the Farrell characters were all played by Bill Murray?
Well, maybe Ron Burgundy should be played by Shatner
Orlando Bloom as Mr Black in reservoir dogs (The one who does the torturing, I think its Mr Black)
True Grit staring Danny Dyer instead of Matt Damon...
In fact Danny Dyer in nearly anything

How about the 'bluesbrothers' staring Jim Belushi, Kurt Russell as 'the straight man' and directed by Uwe Bowell ?
I think that works really well, apart from Sir Ian McKellen as Legolas (unless they reverse age him 30-40 years) and Orlando Bloom as Gimli (unless they can somehow get him to look his age).
A Beautiful mind: Replace Russel Crowe with Gary Busey.
The King’s Speech: Replace Geoffrey Rush with Christopher Walken
Avatar: Replace Sam Worthington with Nicholas Cage
I dont think you guys get it with Sam Jackson. He told Lucas, Ill be Mace Windu in your movie, but I want a purple light saber, and it happened. I mean...cmon!

Did you know that Christopher Walkin was George Lucas' second choice for the role of Han Solo?
Pirates of the carribean- curse of the black pearl...
Switch Johnny Depp with.... Steve Buschemi Change the name of the boat to "The vast wench" Switch the cursed pieces of aztec gold with used pacifiers
Also, anything samuel jackson does is amazing and oscar worthy, so I agree he'd make a great Jack Sparrow, although steve buschemi would be better, IMO. How can you resist this face?
Mace Windu had long hair in Jackie Brown. It wierded me out the whole movie. What a delicious movie.
Well the ruin any film just get Micheal Bay to direct it....
Can you imagine in a movie like driving miss daisy if Micheal Bay had directed it? Half way down the first street a building would explode into a giant fireball and Morgan Freeman would have to drive and dodge failing chunks of stone and cars.

No, Coolio.
50 Cent might be better.
No man, hes a popular rapper, AND has "acted" before. Coolio OTOH, has pissed off Weird Al fans, and hasnt acted, AND most importantly, people hate his raps
Replace the zombies in any zombie movie with bunnies, puppies, and baby ducks!
isnt that an episode of my little pony?
