What are some movies where big time actors look out of place

 

William H. Macy in Down Periscope (This was on today and what inspired me to start the thread)

 

Sharon Stone in Police Academy 4

 

Danny Devito in Terms of Endearment

 

Colin Firth in What a Girl Wants

Keanu Reaves in a movie.

 

Keanu was perfect for the Bill and Ted movies, and The Gift....shockingly.

 

Bridget Fonda in Army of Darkness. That still gets me.

Lando in Star Wars... not because he doesnt do a good job... just because wheres the other black people?

I think there's a black rebel pilot in ROTJ that gets blown up.

Yeah, and some of Lando's security people in blue outfits were black, too...

Jennifer Aniston in Leprechaun.

 

Baffleck in Sum of All Fears.

 

Beat Takeshi in Johnny Mnemonic.

Do you think that because Hugh Grant will never do anything except a romantic comedy in his career, he will never look out of place?

 

Dennis Hopper did Space Truckers as well, didn't he? Yargh.

Ben Kingsley in Species and soon BloodRayne.

 

There is just no way the guy should be in those movies. He is light years beyond that crap.

I would say Dennis Hopper in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", but he ruled all in that movie.

 

Charles Bronsan in the original "House of Wax" Great movie, but you don't know why he's there

Sharon Stone in Police Academy 4

That came out in 1987 IIRC... was she a star yet, because if not, then it's really not being out of place.

 

Arnold Shwartzenegger in Jingle All The Way. I don't see how an Arnold movie can be good in a straight comedy for little kids.

No, but she did Total Recall with Arnold that year around that time. Stone wasn't really a star until Basic Instinct.

George Clooney as Batman.

As much as I thought he sucked as Batman. I thought Clooney did really good in the Bruce Wayne parts of the movie. Like the parts with him and Alfred I thought were fairly good. Hell out of the three Batman actors he looked the most like Bruce Wayne.
