Right? Like doubt I could force chemistry with her either. Sex and the City’s return was so delayed cause none of the cast wanted to work with her again… they never did talk Kim Catrall into it in the end.

And many of the movies listed are excellent movies, several (at least) with Oscars involved. It looks like many of the issues were interpersonal rather than plain bad acting.
I honestly like Grant better playing against the floppy-haired, stammering Englishman type - while I could take or leave him in most rom-coms, his Mr. Waverly in THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. movie had him doing a brilliant job weaponizing that persona and turning on a dime to a cheerfully dark intelligence mastermind.
Let me get this straight - they're ganging up on Reese Witherspoon for the movie she DIDN'T do? That's reaching don't you think? And they need to stop whatever it is that they're smoking, 'cause she hasn't slowed down. Not one bit.
Ed Harris is great in everything he does. The Abyss is still-to this day, in my top 5 fav movies, and its mainly because I can relate to Ed's character. He is every part he portrays.
Yeah the title of this video is so misleading… it’s more actors who were /fired/quit a role because they were the wrong choice or actors who chose the wrong role…
I thought there was a little more to that, he had turned down several roles in big movies because he didn't get so he accepted the role in League expecting it to be a big hit
Funny you mentioned Apocalypse Now. Harvey Keitel was supposed to star in Apocalypse Now ( Martin Sheen replaced him ) but was fired two weeks into filming as he just wasn't working out for the roll of Captain Willard.
@@davecasey4341 You mean Eric Stoltz as the original Marty McFly. Crispin Glover was cast for George McFly, Marty's father but was replaced in the sequels due to contract dispute with the producers.
It’s not really because of her performance.. it was just popular to hate her at that time, probably a lot of it because of the Tom Cruise Scientology news from that time, she didn’t have much to do with that, but you know… people
I agree it was a bad character, but it wasn’t her fault… Gyllenhal’s was even more irksome, if anything… it was a writing problem, I’d say. Really she amounted to a girl in the fridge.
Rumor was that Katie Holmes didn't return for the other Batman movies was because Tom Cruise didn't like something about it. She was chilly quite a bit in the movie.
She will probably go away for a few years. And then be welcomed back with open arms. Hollywood seems to forget about the bad stuff that celebrities do. Even if it's criminal. Look at Chris Brown. His career hasn't stalled much even though he has done some horrible stuff. Even Justin Bieber ended up doing okay. Especially if someone has a mental illness. All seems to be forgiven.
Her relationship with Tom Cruise overshadowed the movie. I believe the reason she chose not to return for the sequel and chose the flop Mad Money instead was because Tom Cruise did not want her to return to the role. That decision was the end of her A List status. Her career took a hiatus during her marriage to Tom Cruise and now she trying to rebuild what she had. I am a Katie Holmes fan. Loved her in Dawson's Creek, Batman Begins, and Disturbing Behavior.
I was disappointed Katie Holmes wasn't in the Dark Knight. She didn't seem really panned in Batman Begins. She just did not stand out. Her missing the Dark Knight, which is one of the if not the greatest comic movie of all time. Talk about career suicide for Katie.
eddie murphys worst comedies arent as bad as a dozen adam sandler film and he's proven multiple times that he is an incredible actor, he's way too underrated
I agree about Murphy. He's a legend and a comedic genius. However, about Sandler, you assume he's making movies. He's not.

You forgot Eric Stoltz being sacked as Marty McFly on Back to the Future because he was playing the role too straight. They filmed for weeks with him in the role that Michael J Fox would eventually take over.
I'm thinking this one was a misnomer. In the examples you gave a number of actors did not quit the movie but the movie did a number on their careers. That suggests the vehicle was bent not the actor. Nice to see a historical twist thrown in there though. Too many lists don't think movies existed before 1990.

Hugh Grant was a product of the upper-middle class writer/production team who made foppish films and TV series which they thought the Americans would love. Hence The Holiday, Downton Abbey, Four Weddings... Notting Hill. The types of films and series which, if watched would give the viewer diabetes.

I don't know if it's fair to say Hugh Grant was blacklisted; Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't necessarily have chemistry with everyone. Eddie Murphy chose to do movies that his children could watch and "Dolemite" was excellent.

Wonder if TC's actions mean he'll never be in a Batman movie?
I actually loved A Thousand Words. I also believe that Eddie Murphy was the perfect man for the lead. What's more, Murphy's career as a stand-up comic has led to him saying a lot of words, many of which would later come back to bite him on the butt. I love the symbolism and the message.

They should rename this video "Actors who had long respectable careers that eventually ran their course or changed in nature as acting careers usually do".
Katie Holmes was horrible in Batman. But Christopher Nolan has to take some of the blame. He has far more misses than hits when it comes to casting and writing for women his films.
Typical. So you're saying that Reese Witherspoon quit making movies after 2012 after getting kicked off _Brave_ ? That's the story you're sticking with?
That's a very clickbaity title, and I think you know it. "8 actors that were so bad" can obviously be read as "horribly untalented", and "they had to quit movies" also can be interpreted as "they were forced to retire from filmmaking". So your title sounds like "8 Actors Who Gave Up Their Show Business Careers Because They Stank."
So Hugh Grant didn't quit movies, so Eddie Murphy didn't quit movies, so Thomas Kretschmann didn't quit movies, so Katie Holmes didn't quit movies, so Dennis Hopper didn't quit movies, so Kel O'Neil didn't quit movies, so Reese Witherspoon didn't quit movies they all quit just ONE movie, you make it sound like they quit making movies forever. More rubbish from whatculture.
Some actors pay a big price for flops totally blamed on them but other actors don't. Robert de niro,al pacino are in so many straight to video just for a paycheck . Also some actors just have to realise they're getting older , so whoever they played before is just played out. Hugh grant and Matthew mcc. are examples of this just change their roles and they're back on top.
I saw that movie with SJP and Hugh a couple of months ago or something on TV. I don't remember hating it. I'd probably watch it again. "I stole his crumpet"😁 And it had a sweet ending
In The Dictator she seemed on even keel with Sacha Cohen, but then again, I think Cohen has as much acting talent as a three-legged dog sleeping in a bait shop. After seeing The Dark Knight, I think Maggie Gyllenhaal has as much acting talent as a culture of E. Coli in a Petri dish. Unfortunately, actual talent and trained skill has little, if anything, to do with success in Hollywood.
I don't get it why the Naughty Professor and the one where he portraits a black strong feminist independent angry body positive woman, received so much backlash cuz those movies are amazing. Specially the last one he did totally justice to the wide black ladies in my opinion.
The list switched midway. It started as people who took a break from acting or quit acting after a bad movie and then you switched to people who had to leave one project. Why?
So your saying Maggie did better than Katie?? You may not need to quit your day job. I’ve never seen a movie where Maggie didn’t deserve a Razzie herself. Her brother is the talent, not her.

Katie Holmes didn’t come back in future batman movies because of Tom Cruises Scientology nonsense.
That’s what I remember, too. Cruise convinced her not to return so she could have a “starring role” …in what turned out to be a bad movie.
Yeah, this is the actual reason
I heard some of it was because he did not want her to kiss another man. Which would be required in the Dark Knight.
How Sarah Jessica Parker is still considered by studios to lead anything says a lot about Hollywood
Oh you can do better?
Can't wait to see you on the big screen then!
Or perhaps you should just shut your trap!
I agree, but she's part of the tribe.
Everything about sex in the city and SJP is immensely over rated.
Being a so called power couple has a lot to do with it.
I think this was covered in "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerBalls".
"Lack of chemistry" also appeared in Failure to Launch and The Family Stone, perhaps it wasn't Grant that was the problem
Yeah
I love The Family Stone. In that Parker's character was supposed to be abrasive and have a poor chemistry with her fiance.
Right?
Like doubt I could force chemistry with her either.
Sex and the City’s return was so delayed cause none of the cast wanted to work with her again… they never did talk Kim Catrall into it in the end.

That's a very clickbaity title, and I think you know it. "8 actors that were so bad" can obviously be read as "horribly untalented", and "they had to quit movies" also can be interpreted as "they were forced to retire from filmmaking". So your title sounds like "8 Actors Who Gave Up Their Show Business Careers Because They Stank."
I feel like the title should be closer to "actors who had such a bad experience on a film that they quit that film"
So Hugh Grant didn't quit movies, so Eddie Murphy didn't quit movies, so Thomas Kretschmann didn't quit movies, so Katie Holmes didn't quit movies, so Dennis Hopper didn't quit movies, so Kel O'Neil didn't quit movies, so Reese Witherspoon didn't quit movies they all quit just ONE movie, you make it sound like they quit making movies forever. More rubbish from whatculture.
Some actors pay a big price for flops totally blamed on them but other actors don't. Robert de niro,al pacino are in so many straight to video just for a paycheck . Also some actors just have to realise they're getting older , so whoever they played before is just played out. Hugh grant and Matthew mcc. are examples of this just change their roles and they're back on top.
I liked brave
Tommy Wiseau. His only starring role was so bad, they made a movie about it.
I’d be fascinated to see a Hopper take on Kristof, tbh
It was a dark night for all of them. Many more careers just dropped dead never to return.
Everyone in the entire cast of The Last Airbender.
I'm surprised you didn't show Sean Connery - League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Colian Dean threaten to quit The loud house after forced to record The infamous No such luck.
I saw that movie with SJP and Hugh a couple of months ago or something on TV. I don't remember hating it. I'd probably watch it again.
"I stole his crumpet"😁
And it had a sweet ending
Hugh Grant was fucking great in The Gentlemen !
.
You think Reese Witherspoon's acting abilities are bad?
...wait 'til you hear her music.
Hahahaha the intro was harsh and I laughed and laughed and laughed
Bad actors - yes, sometimes. The bad always remind you that they're acting; the good make you forget they're acting at all.
I don't see how you can diss Garbo! It's like dissing Ingrid Bergman.
So not so much actors who gave up movie making, just took small breaks.
I liked Katie Holmes in Batman Begins and I can’t stand Maggie Gyllenhaal in anything.
My sentiments exactly! Holmes was great...Gyllenhaal is a lousy actresses and resembles a Sharpei puppy.
Katie Holmes is always fine. Nothing less, but also nothing more. Maggie gave the character the backbone and strength she needed.
In The Dictator she seemed on even keel with Sacha Cohen, but then again, I think Cohen has as much acting talent as a three-legged dog sleeping in a bait shop.
After seeing The Dark Knight, I think Maggie Gyllenhaal has as much acting talent as a culture of E. Coli in a Petri dish.
Unfortunately, actual talent and trained skill has little, if anything, to do with success in Hollywood.
I don't get it why the Naughty Professor and the one where he portraits a black strong feminist independent angry body positive woman, received so much backlash cuz those movies are amazing. Specially the last one he did totally justice to the wide black ladies in my opinion.
I think this video is confusing behind scenes issues, bad direction, casting and actors second thoughts more than bad acting.
Wait wait WAIT!!! Did you say that there's a new Indiana Jones movie coming out!?! WHY 🤷♂️
Yeah, WHY???
@@martinboyle9163 Because $$$.
Norbert is one of my top comedy flicks
Gonna go out on a limb here and say that if the actor literally has movies coming up that they are in, they shouldn’t be on this list
Make more “How They Should Have Made” i miss those videos
Some of these had nothing to do with the actor/actress, but rather the script and director!
The title should correctly be: "8 actors WHO were so bad...", as they're presumably people, not objects.
Didn't Hugh Grant's scandal hurt his career? Didn't Tom Cruise interfer with Katie Holmes accepting roles?
Yes.
Was that Dr Jenner from Walking Dead in that Truman Show clip?
Off to IMDB.
If every actor quit after having had a flop. No one in Hollyweird would have a job
A whatculture list so bad ...
Norbit is awesome, and I'll fight you over that.
You missed the adventures of Pluto Nash when describing Eddie Murphy's plummet.
The list switched midway. It started as people who took a break from acting or quit acting after a bad movie and then you switched to people who had to leave one project.
Why?
Because the people they pay to come up with the lists and write the scripts are just bad
So your saying Maggie did better than Katie?? You may not need to quit your day job. I’ve never seen a movie where Maggie didn’t deserve a Razzie herself. Her brother is the talent, not her.
