WAY-co Kid vs Whacko Kid. Only time will tell. Great video, now I am off to watch several of these.

I love Aliens. So glad Michael Biehn was Hicks, because he killed it. To this day, both Michael Biehn and James Cameron are still pissed off at how Alien 3 turned out.

First video: 10 Paul Dano - there will be blood 09 Red Harris - the truman show 08 Scarlet Johansson - her 07 Donald Pleasance - you only live twice 06 Bruce Greenwood - fall of the house of usher (umm - not a film) 05 Winona Ryder - mermaids 04 Freddy Stromer - peacemaker 03 Michael Biehn - aliens 02 Christopher Plummer - all the money in the world 01 Michael J Fox - back to the future Second video: 10 Sandra Bullock - demolition man 09 Albert Brooks - finding nemo 08 Eddie Murphy - beverly hills cop 07 Michelle Pfeiffer - batman returns 06 Mike Myers - shrek 05 Gene Wilder - blazing saddles 04 Michael Biehn - aliens (ermmm - this was in the last list...) 03 Ben Whishaw - paddington 02 Hugh Jackman - x-men 01 Viggo Mortensen - lord of the rings

John Wayne loved the script but told Mel Brooks that he just couldn’t play the part. Wayne promised to be first in line to see the finished film.

This was probably done in an earlier video, but Will Smith was offered the role of Neo in The Matrix, but he couldn't understand the concept of the movie so he ditched that to film Wild Wild West. The role of Neo was given to Keanu Reeves instead, and the rest is history.

One of Gene Wilder's demands for accepting the roll of the Waco (pronounced Way-Koe not Whacko) Kid was that Mel Brooks would give serious considerations to another movie Wilder was in the process of writing. Mel agreed and liked it, and then we had Young Frankenstein (and if you decide to narrate it, that's pronounced Fronk-En-Steeen).

I get so freaking excited when “Demolition Man” is talked about!! I love that movie so much!!

i can't imagine anyone but Sandra Bullock in demolition man she had some really funny lines

Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies of all time. i can't imagine a world where Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder didn't have their classic back and forth!🤣

Annette Bening had to give up being Catwoman after "falling pregnant". She was stricken with pregnancy. LOL

Eric Stoltz was replaced by Michael J. Fox in "Back to the Future."

A ton of the Chris Farley version of Shrek was recently uncovered and uploaded online. It was a very different film.

Ten bucks says Jem has never seen “Blazing Saddles”, nor anyone involved in producing this list.

Calling Paddington an addict made me chuckle. If he's an addict then Pooh must be a full blown junkie.

If you ever go to Texas, don't say "Whacko". Waco is pronounced "Way-co.''

Micheal J. Fox in Back to the Future?

The "whacko" kid. Love it.

Mad respect for the Hank Scorpio reference for Albert Brooks. I would have also excepted Daniel Miller from Defending Your Life.

I kinda think Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little should've been mentioned in the same breath.

Imagine if Sam Raimi had cast Tom Hardy instead of Eric Forman in Spider-Man 3.

As I’m sure other people said, John Wayne “got” the joke, but he was a career movie star when branding and image meant even more back then than it does now.

As far as I know Indiana Jones originally would have been played by Tom Selleck. I like Tom Selleck, but for me Harrison Ford is Indy.

I actually do know how the 3 seashells work, but anytime I go into detail my posts get suppressed or people ask me to stop talking immediately - I've even used just the one seashell while I was out camping near a beach to great effect and proved my hypothesis, and none of my friends at the time wanted demonstrations or anything 😢

Did WhatCulture really refer to Air Heads as a “big movie”? 😂

I love love Chris Farley, but I just cannot picture him as Shrek. I’m happy it was Mike Myers. He was perfect! 😂

I feel bad for Sean Young, i always liked her, maybe she was a bit of a ball buster, but something tells me that she'd be very honest good or bad, and that i can respect, and for me shows integrity! At least she got blade runner, ace ventura and that mat dillion serial killer movie, oh yeah and fatal attraction or whatever that silly fun spoof movie was called

Hi. 7:00... I'm picky and I want to point out that as funny as it was that you pronounced it as "whacko" here on this side of the pond we pronounce it with the same sounding A as in "wake". "Waco Kid". Thanks.

Your first tragedy is including one of the exact same actor replacements as you had in the first video. Your second tragedy is not including Tig Notaro for Army of the Dead. First video: 10 Paul Dano - there will be blood 09 Red Harris - the truman show 08 Scarlet Johansson - her 07 Donald Pleasance - you only live twice 06 Bruce Greenwood - fall of the house of usher (umm - not a film) 05 Winona Ryder - mermaids 04 Freddy Stromer - peacemaker 03 Michael Biehn - aliens 02 Christopher Plummer - all the money in the world 01 Michael J Fox - back to the future Second video: 10 Sandra Bullock - demolition man 09 Albert Brooks - finding nemo 08 Eddie Murphy - beverly hills cop 07 Michelle Pfeiffer - batman returns 06 Mike Myers - shrek 05 Gene Wilder - blazing saddles 04 Michael Biehn - aliens (ermmm - this was in the last list...) 03 Ben Whishaw - paddington 02 Hugh Jackman - x-men 01 Viggo Mortensen - lord of the rings

A hundred commenters each offering a unique way to *correctly* pronounce "Waco". Heh. I love it.

Could one imagine TLOTR without Viggo. Thank God for the casting director or Peter Jackson or whoever. Viggo is iconic as McKellen, etc. pretty much every one. An example of the perfect cast

'member the scene when the uruk-hai throws a knife at Aragorn's head and he bats it out with his sword? Well, that was an accident. The knife was supposed to embed itself in a nearby tree, but went straight to his face so he had to pull a jedi deflect to save himself. They considered leaving the shot out of the film because it was an actual safety issue, but everybody agreed it was just too badass a moment to end in the cutting room floor.

The point break and free Willy star? With a league of their own and tank girl sitting right there!?

6:09 - LOL! "Wacko kid!" It's supposed to be "Waco Kid". It's a town in Texas. I'm from Texas and I just found that hilarious. Also, NO ONE else except Michelle Pfeiffer and Eddie Murphy were supposed to play their roles.

There's a conspiracy theory that they mispronounce things on purpose in order to get a bunch of angry comments saying "IT'S WAY-CO NOT WHACK-O YOU IDIOTS!", right? Because it's far too prevalent for it to just be them being stupid and lazy to check before recording...

Its clear Jeem has never actually seen Blazing Saddles, or she would know his names is Sherriff Bart and she wouldn't keep mispronouncing the Waco Kid.

Fun fact: Demolition Man was supposed to be a Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal movie. None of them wanted to play the villain role beside they beef

Truth be told Eddie Murphy was considered the role of detective James Carter for Jackie Chan's Rush Hour, but Chris Tucker instead got the role.

Marty McFly

Oh, is 6:10 a subtle play on words that I always missed? Believe you want a long A when saying "Waco." Was that moniker chosen as a joke though? Is it to imply that the Gene Wilder character is wacko?

CHAPTERS, please!

Seriously, how can a list like this even exist without mentioning Michael J Fox replacing Eric Stoltz in Back The Future!? Not only did it deserve a mention, it should have been number 1!

Glenn Danzig was also in the running to play Wolverine.

Fun fact- that was Damon Wayans who played the effeminate man that gave Axel Foley the bananas.

What Mortensen broke his toe kicking a helmet! That's the first I'm hearing of it. It's not like you haven't used that bit for like 100 videos.

Story goes that Richard Pryor was first pick for Sheriff Bart in Blazing Saddles. Other commitments (and some studio concern as to his stability) prevented that; he did contribute to the script, however. So both Wilder and Little were second choices. Also, I’ve never really been sold as Jackman as Wolverine. He plays him like a comic book character, not an actual person. All that mugging for the camera when he’s grunting and growling, showing off his “angry face” just feels ingenuine to me. Dude’s a solid actor, don’t get me wrong, but every role ain’t for everybody.

8:37 “He left of his own accord after the studio decided he wasn’t the right fit” In other words he “pulled a Truss”, jumping ship before he was officially replaced for not being good enough. Fortunately Firth still has his dignity!

Bullock was good but the oh actor was a better leading Lady by far would have done a better job based of point break vs bullocks work

Albert Brooks is a great actor, comedian and man!

Wait just to make sure Chris Farley's character in Wayne's world is not the same character from airheads is it??

I thought the movie speed gave us Sandra Bullock. Laurence Fishburne was actually supposed to play jules, Samuel L Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction, But negotiations broke down. The part of captain Kirk from Star Trek was offered to Jack Lord from Hawaii 50 first, but he turned it down. Will Smith was supposed to play neo from The Matrix, But he chose to do the Wild Wild West, Big mistake🤔

Hugh Jackman also learned about Wolverine from watching the 90s animated series.

I remember the first time I saw Bullock in that movie. I thought it was a terrible movie but she was gorgeous.

Another one for Blazing Saddles was the lead. Mel Brooks first wanted Richard Pryor to play the sheriff, but the studio refused citing Pryor was too dirty so Brooks settled on Cleavon Little.

Most of them I knew all ready

I can see Mr. Scott has wolverine not my wolverine but has a wolverine

Had chris farley ever done an accent?! I can't remember.... Maybe he did a German accent on Snl??

Okay, I don't know where they got their info on Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, when he found out he got the role he went out and bought all the X-Men comics he could find with Wolverine in them and read them. This man did proper research for the role.

I thought Hugh Jackman was number one on ne i was gonna comment that you should absolutely have added Viggo Mortensen 😂 Well… Just proves how iconic his role is.

John Hurt in Alien was a replacement for Jon Finch

Stallone also wanted Jackie Chan for the role of Simon Phoenix but turned it down because he didn't want to play the bad guy.

Ok, asking a REAL question here: WHO is more polite? - Tanjirou Kamado - Padinngton

Image Frank Gallagher playing Marlin 😂

Another film that the change in cast worked out great is Bad Boys it was initially supposed to be Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz and as much as I love Dana Carvey that wouldn’t have been the same movie

I'm suprised you didn't mention that Nicholas Cage was actually gonna be playing Aragorn at one point.

#1 is Michael j Fox for the Back to the Future franchise in my book.

Man Myers definitely benefited from a tragedy. Chris Farley would’ve killed it.

Lori Petty just would not play the character the same as Sandra Bullock anywhere as memorable.

Sandra Bullock's breakout role was in SPEED, not Demolition Man.

Hugh Jackman has portrayed Logan 9 times going on 10.

Has WhatCulture ever done a video that did not include Viggo kicking the helmet? Is it contractually obligated? Do they only get paid if that clip is in a video?

I'm not going to say no one else could play Wolverine, but, it's very hard to see anyone else in the role. Someday, we will, and hopefully, they'll be great.

Hugh Jackman spend time studying wolves for his character Wolverine that is hilarious. Studies the wrong animal and still does a great job.

Hi Jem, Its "The Waco kid" not the wacko kid

The Wacko kid? Waco.... like "wake oh"

Sean Young, would have been good as cat woman.

For once you got the top three picks right. The first thing in a movie -- always -- is *story.* And second -- always -- is *casting.*

Dude. The story about Sean Young and Catwoman is way more in depth than what you just described. You should have talked about it way more. It's like parody levels of ridiculousness it's very hard to believe that it was actually true

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence replace Jon Levitt and Dana Carvey (Both from Saturday Night Live) in Bad Boys. They completely rewrite the script.

I believe Heath Ledger is the Fan Favorite live action Joker in the Batman franchise. Mark Hamill takes it for the Animated franchise. And the only thing wrong with Hugh Jackman being Wolverine is he's 12 inches too tall LOL! The comic character is only 5 foot 3 inches tall.

Cleaving Little’s character is “Bart” not “Bert”.

Eddie Murphy doing Beverly Hills Cop meant he couldn’t be in Ghost Busters.

Such civility about Sean Young wanting to be Catwoman! 😎 (And I have nothing against civility nor the prospect of if she had played her.) Just noticing the contrast since many retrospective pieces come off pretty critical of SY for this.

The "WAY coe" kid. As in Waco Texas. Not the "wacko" kid FYI

Please please please check your microphone. It gets shrill at points of the video....or maybe it's just me.

okay if ever there is a role that indeed went where it was supposed to, but how would he/she have accomplished that role---Chris Farely would've killed as Shrek, oh hell ya, that guy was stupid funny...he bowed out for his only replacement, mike myers does the role super justice and brought alot to it, Now I know why he did such as awesome Shrek...they were awesome SNL years...hehehe ;p

I would have preferred Farley as Shrek

Waco TX. Pronounced Way-co. Not Wakko.

Gene Waulder as the Wacko Kid?

10 more? Where's the first 10?

Sheriff Bart ....not Bert !

Cleavon Little replaced Richard Pryor. ✌️🤠

Agreed to disagree. I thought he played an excellent character in defending your life. Couldn't go wrong with his name.

Any chance of getting someone who can read a script properly to narrate these things? Apart from calling Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddles "the WHACKO Kid" 🤣 multiple times, she says it was "doubtfully painful for [Sean] Young" to miss out on the role of Catwoman. It should obviously be "DOUBLY painful", seeing as how that meant it had happened to Young twice (given that she had to pull out of the first Batman movie as well).

The whacko kid 😂

It's Way-co not Whacko Kid.

🎞🎥🍿🎬🧙🏻‍♂

Does it seem like Sandra bullock plays the same character in every movie?

This woman has obviously never seen Blazing Saddles. Waco is not pronounced "whacko." It's Waco (Wake-o), as in Waco, Texas.

Automatic dislike for a red X next to Lori Petty

Sean young fired for a piss poor attitude in the first Batman.
