Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 24, 2018 This thread was inspired by me watching the Great Rock n Roll Swindle for the first time in years and thinking, is there are more mental cast than one featuring Edward Tudor Pole, Mary Millington, Ronnie Biggs and Pete Beale? I've laid mine on the table, let's see your cards lads. I think I've won here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 24, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Iāll put a vote in for Kenneth Branaghās āMuch Ado About Nothingā. Thereās the usual Shakespearean thesps, but in amongst them youāve got the likes of KeanuĀ Reeves and Michael Keaton mixing with Ben Elton, Brian Blessed and Houseās mate from House.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 24, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 24, 2018 If you think about it, a lot of Bond films have bizarre casts as you get this mish-mash of British thespians mostly in support and cameo roles sharing screen-time with better known American and international stars. Look at Tomorrow Never Dies for instance. Teri Hatcher married to Jonathan Pryce. Ricky Jay as his right-hand man, Michelle Yeoh as the main Bond girl, Vincent Schiavelli as an assassin, and a Geoffrey Palmer / Judi Dench reteaming. Nuts.

The director of that's notorious for being a Neil Breen style auter of terrible shit that's most likely a tax dodge, with casts that were made for this thread. Quote In June 2013 he was found guilty of a Ā£1.5 million tax fraud involving inflating the values of invoices for projects including Eldorado, which starred Daryl Hannah, David Carradine and Michael Madsen.[2] Regard 2008's Evil Calls: The Raven which has Rik Mayall, Norman Wisdom, Robin Askwith, Jason Donovan, Eileen Daly, and the voice of Christopher Walken. Dave Courtney's fuck-awful gangster flicks are another great one for this, packed with craggy old actors, celebrity hooligans, and the sort of nob-aches who think it's still prime Lad's Mag era. Look at some of Courtney's filmography. The Seven (2019) - Dave Courtney, Dean Cain, Sinitta, Alex Reid, Gary Webster off Minder, Roland off Grange Hill Gatwick Gangsters (2017) - Dave Courtney, Bobby George, Gary Bushell, and Willie Thorne as 'The Beast'. I'm not saying this one was some kind of scam, but the cast list is about 1000 pages long. Gangsters Gamblers GeezersĀ (2016) - Dave Courtney, Jodie Marsh, Richard Blackwood, Nigel's dead wife off Eastenders, Dot Cotton's dead grandson off Eastenders, Big Narstie, Ben Dover, Francine Lewis the impressionist off Britain's Got Talent, Liz from Atomic Kitten Looters, Tooters and Sawn-Off ShootersĀ (2014) - Dave Courtney, Jodie Marsh, Les Battersby off Corrie, Saffron from Republica Mob Handed (2016) - Dave Courtney, Lysette Anthony, Jess Conrad, Dirty Den, Daniella Westbrook, Cathy Tyson, Cass Pennant the hooligan, and the voice of Charles Bronson recorded off a prison payphone The Baby Juice Express (2004) - Dave Courtney, Samantha Janus, Little John off Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Ray Parlour, Cleo Rocos, Julian Clarey, Ruth Jones, Nick Moran, Johnson off Peep Show, and David Seaman as 'Huge Gangster' He's even done one with Vampiro and Martin Kove from Karate Kid.

One of the few films I decided I needed to review on IMDB. Quote I was recommended this film by a friend, who had seen it and spread the word because in his words "you need to see how horrendous this is." Its like a lucky dip of absolute mess. The lead actress Yvette Rowland appeared in another rotten film of the same ilk called "Killer Bitch", which featured British porn stars who acted her off the screen, she was so bad. Amazingly she's even worse here. There's an episode of Only Fools and Horses where Rodney Trotter is making a student film, and Del Boy is getting money off a bunch of people around the city to star in it. I can only assume this is how the casting process went here. There are people from every kind of Z-list TV area in this thing. Half the cast of the Bill shows up, I imagine because Celebrity Big Brother wasn't interested that month. Former child actors who haven't worked in years and haven't seen down the lens of a camera since they were caught stealing from Poundstretcher. Dave Courtney pops up in a tank. What?! Daniella Westbrook and Dirty Den arrive to bring the star power. Either Leslie Grantham hasn't got any work coming in anymore or he's on a mission to do something so embarrassing on camera that people forget about him sucking his finger on a webcam. Basically the plot is that there is a pedo on the loose, who killed the daughter of the lead actress and now she's out for revenge. Only she portrays all the emotion of someone who isn't pleased that someone left the iron on. There's a lot of cockney accents saying "fakin' slag." The actors in this make Danny Dyer look like Laurence Olivier doing Hamlet. Its the pits. I was jealous of some of the torture scenes in this, because all I could say to the TV was "you don't know how good you've got it mate." The funniest thing about it is that the lead actress is listed as "producer" as well. If the whole film was meant to build up to that punchline then this film maybe knock off This Is Spinal Tap as the funniest movie ever. What a brilliant build. Either than or she's dating the bloke who is funding it (which seems way more likely), because there is no other way she'd be hired by anyone else to act. You should watch it. It may be the worst film ever. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
