Switch a famous movie role with a wholly inappropriate actor

[Rabrrrrrr]

Meaning, replace an actor in a famous role with an actor/actress who will play that role in a way they normally act, in order to elicit a very hilarious and bizarre movie.

I am sittin' here watching Star Wars, and thinking:

If David Spade had played Obi Wan instead of Sir Alec Guinness

Assuming that Spade played the role in his typical snide, sarcastic, deliciously ironic delivery.


And then I realized that, withing the Star Wars milieu, any of these would be funny:

David Spade as Darth Vader
David Spade as Han Solo
David Spade as Chewbacca

(or even imagine this: Star Wars as done by the cast of Seinfeld, with appropriate rewrite of the story to fit their personalities! Christ, that would be hilarious!)

And then I thought of some others:

Jack Palance as Rick in "Casablanca"

Pauly Shore as Batman

Katherine Hepburn - the old, post On Golden Pond version - in the role of Molly Ringwald in "Breakfast Club"

Orson Welles as the professor in Back to the Future

Roseanne Barr replacing Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes" (oh, yeah, like, goddamn you to, you know, hell and everything)

The guy who played Kramer as Citizen Kane

[XNASA]

1. Tony Randall as Col. Kurtz

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

85. You know, I bet Randall could have pulled it off.

Not as well, but he was a fuckin' good actor.

Unless you mean as his odd couple role, in which case that would be hilarious!

[AwakeAtLast]

2. Chris Farley in "Risky Business"

Kinda changes the whole movie a bit eh? This would be my warped sense of humor coming through. :)

[rocktivity]

3. Marlon Brando as Atillia the Hun

John Wayne actually got the role. Unfortunately, he was just as bad.

How about Madonna in any role?

:headbang:

P.S. Did you know that Marliyn Monroe was considered for Holly Golightly?

[benddem]

4. schwarzeneger (sp?)

as Gary Coopers role in High Noon.

[terrya]

5. Mine:

Freddie Prinze, Jr as "Patton"

Cameron Diaz as Norma Desmond from "Sunset Boulevard"

Diana Ross as Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz"...wait, that actually happened.

[JohnKleeb]

9. as patton right Terry?

[terrya]

18. Yep, John. George C. Scott was in the role.

And gave a briliant performance as General Patton. Much better than Freddie Prinze, Jr, to say the least.

[JohnKleeb]

20. You know what I read is that Scott hated the character of Patton

My mom remembers seeing that movie with her uncle and brother, both of who have since passed on, sigh. I have it, its a great movie, I came to admire Omar Bradley a lot after seeing it.

[terrya]

26. Yeah. I read that, too.

Scott didn't identify with Patton, that's for sure. It's a very good performance in a very good film.

[JohnKleeb]

28. hard to identify with the guy, I am no fan of patton or monty historically

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. Keanu Reeves in "The Lion in Winter"

Keanu Reeves in "A Man for All Seasons"

[Arkana]

66. Can you even imagine? We'd be paralyzed laughing.

George as Legolas: "Fell voice! There's a fell voice on the air! Everybody down!"

Elaine as Galadriel: "You know, kid, I know what you saw in that mirror, cause it was in my brain, you know, like a wizard or somethin'."

I don't know about Kramer as Frodo--I was thinking more of Gollum for Cosmo, because he has those random spasms all the time.

[HeyManThatsCool]

68. Seinfeld is Frodo & George is Sam

When he realizes he has to carry the ring Jerry says... "Well, ok. I guess"

[Arkana]

Sam says, "Let's face it, Mr. Frodo...we're lost."

George as Sam would say, "We're lost! We should quit! I'm a quitter! I come from a long line of quitters! I was raised to give up!"

[Rabrrrrrr]

88. Seinfeld as Frodo: "You know, you're right. My feet are tired.

I mean, really - who goes on quests any more? What's up with that? Saving the world - who am I, the Messiah? No, I'm a guy that likes to sit around a lot and come up with funny stuff. That's me. I'm not a quester."

George as Sam: "You're definitely NOT a quester. No one's a quester. Who was the last quester? Ulysses?"

Seinfeld as Frodo: "Exactly. No one quests any more."

George as Sam: "Let's get some coffee."

Seinfeld as Frodo: "You know, you're absolutely right. If they want the ring destroyed, they should have thought of it that before they made it. It's not my responsibility. Was I there? No, I wasn't." (throws ring on ground).

George: "You were DEFINITELY not there. Not AT ALL!"

[HeyManThatsCool]

91. Ok- you've got the treatment in progress

We need to get this made!!!!!!!!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

97. If I were rich, I would do this!!

I'd never thought of it until that first poster put Elaine as Galadriel.

But now - OMG! - I really, really wish there was a way to get these people to do their own Seinfeldian version of LOTR.

It would be one of the funniest things ever done!

[HeyManThatsCool]

103. It would be CLASSIC

Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer & Neumann said Keith Hernandez spit on them & Jerry was illustrating that it had to be someone else? (a'la JFK)

[Rabrrrrrr]

104. No, I didn't see that one

Wish I had! Sounds cool!

[Arkana]

105. Yes! I remember that one!

"Now that, my friends, is one MAGIC loogie!"

[Arkana]

93. Priceless. Absolutely priceless.

Thanks for the best laugh I've had in a while!

135. "What is it with this ring anyway? Did you ever notice that.....

...people with this ring tend to go nuts for no good reason? Why is that?"

[Rabrrrrrr]
