What other actor replacements do you think should've made the list?

Literally no one was fooled by the the Aunt Viv change in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

In that Buffy episode, a demon doesn't create a second Xander that threatens to take over the original's life. The demon divides the original Xander into two - one that possesses all of his positive traits and another that possesses all of his negative traits.

NOBODY was fooled by Game of Death.

Game of Death didn't fool me. It's SO obvious. Too bad because that was Lee's best film concept

@Looper, the Aniston one wasn't a 'replacement' but a stand-in, and when originally aired, you couldn't see the stand-in enough to notice it was someone else. It only became known/seen when the episodes became available/shown in widescreen format. So it's not that it was a replacement that 'fooled us' but just someone dropping the ball on editing when they released the episodes in widescreen format.

Natalie Portman was swapped out for Keira Knightley in some wide shots in Phantom Menace because she didn't want to stick around the set any longer and they had another actress who looked like her.

hold the fuck up... don't tell me you were actually fooled into believing Game of Death had Bruce Lee in the entire film? hell, it was too damn obvious to see that the actor was trying too hard to be Bruce, using way too many of his"Watahs" every single time he moved. not to mention he wore sunglasses the entire movie until the tower.

Natalie portman's best role without a doubt was Leon: the professional and her parents only allowed for her to take 2 hits off a cigarette and COULD NOT INHALE haha

I don't think the Bruce Lee one fooled anyone. It's so obvious.

Wasn't the Jennifer Aniston one due to most people originally watching in 4:3 and now you'd probably watch it in 16:9 widescreen?

How the fuck did you miss crispin glover in back to the future part 2?

Oh wow, thanks for the early Harrison Ford footage, that alone earned my like and made my Monday at the same time.

One of the more interesting stand-in uses in Hollywood history was in *Taxi Driver* where Jodie Foster played a teen prostitute opposite De Niro of course. 12yo Jodie was replaced by her 19 yo sister, Connie Foster, during the most explicit scenes.

I don't see how so many people thought Katie Homes and Maggie Gyllenhaal were the same person in Batman, or didn't notice Dumbledore's actor change. I thought they looked nothing alike.

Jennifer Aniston’s stand in only appeared in that episode after the aspect ratio of the episodes was expanded from 4:3 to 16:9 for their HD remasters. These episodes were filmed in 16:9 but framed for and cropped to 4:3 when they were shooting. It’s not that they “forgot to cut the scene out” it’s that... you were never supposed to see her standing there because she was outside the frame and the episodes were never intended to be viewed in that aspect...

It's impossible not to love Gary Busey after watching him on the roast of Larry the cable guy

Ooo the use of twins in T2 soda machine scene your so sure they CGI it but they actually cut to a practical effect using the security guys twinbrother with a pointy metal finger.

1:09 Well, Elsa Pataky is 5'3" as well so... 9:00 Not unusual at all. The show was broadcast for the "square" 4:3 aspect ratio and has recently been widened up to the 16:9 aspect ratio that TVs use now, thus sometimes revealing stuff on the side that were never meant to be in the shot.

Wow, I can't believe you actually didn't have Kiera Knightly standing in as Natalie Portman in Star Wars!

What about Paul Walker in his last Fast & Furious movie, where his brother filmed some additional scenes? And though they didn't make them look like him, but Colin Farrell, Jude Law and Johnny Depp played transformations of Heath Ledger's part in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus after he died.

Harrison ford and h us stunt double were so handsome back then

2:19 killed me LMFAO!

You bring up Brandon Lee but no mention of Marc Dacascos who stood in mostly because he looked almost identical to Brandon.

Never call Evil Dead ridiculous! It is legend dude.

Joe Anderson's portrayal of Mason Verger was nothing short of brilliant. I've never seen a better delivery of dark comedy.

The Richard Donner cut of Superman II is much better than the Lester version. It's a little bit shorter and there are a couple of things that I have concerns with, but since Donner didn't get to complete the movie originally, he was limited on his options later on. First concern - Donner's method of Lois proving that Clark is Superman was to shoot him using a blank bullet. Ignoring the fact that the scene shown was using audition footage (since actual footage was never made), Clark/Superman can still feel things that come into contact with him. Thus, when he was shot with a blank, he should have realized that he didn't feel anything, meaning that he wasn't really shot, and then acting surprised that that he wasn't hurt. (With his super speed and such, he also should have noticed that there was no bullet coming at him.) POTENTIAL SPOILER (if you haven't seen the Richard Donner version of Superman II) Second concern - Superman reverses time again to fix everything. Sort of a cheap trick since that's how he handled things in the first movie. Not only that, but the results are inconsistent with the first movie as well. In the first, people remembered what had happened, and Superman simply undid the damage. In this one, it made people forget what had happened. My hope is that Donner would have done those two parts differently had he been allowed to finish the movie. However, we'll never know. I doubt Donner himself even knows if he would have changed anything, since any changes might have been based on feedback from others while making the movie (feedback that never happened since he wasn't able to continue making the movie).

In the DVD re-release of the original Star Wars trilogy, they had the guy who played Jango Fett in the prequels dub over Boba Fett's lines. I thought I was losing my mind.

RIP Bruce and Brandon Lee. You both left too soon.

Lots of gems on this list

RIP Brandon Lee

Thats great fun to see through. One might wonder if it would be a great idea to do a simular video with actors being seen in more than one character or copy of the same character at once? Id belive that Back To the Future Part II was one of the first examples in where the same actors could be seen playing different parts at once? Johan.

I knew Fandral was portrayed by a new actor. That didn't fooled me.

I seriously didn't know that Mason was played by two different actors at all :0

richard harris played albus dumbledore in the first two movies of harry potter series, then he died. he was replaced by michael gambon.

Josh Dallas was great, while Levys portayal was ridiculously terrible. Made me flinch everytime I saw him on screen and he opened his mouth.

I like your channel very much. Very interesting content and you present it very good

What about The Fast And The Furious? the last scenes where Bryan O'Connor (Paul Walker) was replaces by his brother after his death before the movie could be finished

Was Chris hemsworth making out on The Room rooftop set?

I Love once upon a time!

The last one - whoa!

That Garry Buddy clip 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You can tell the game of thrones one because of the collar bones Lenas are straight across while the stand in have v shaped collar bones

Speaking of Natalie Portman, the character of V was played by James Purefoy for the first 3 months of shooting on V for Vendetta until he quit and got replaced with Weaving. Luckily because of the mask, there are many scenes in which Purefoys body is still on screen and Weaving is dubbed in with the voice. So with stunt actors included V just changes height and build slightly throughout the film. Even in costume, you can tell that some actors have bigger ears than others.

That's so crazy how much Harrison Fords stunt double looks like him.

I once had an stupid argument with someone who was trying to tell me that Bruce Lee died from getting shot. No, he died from a cerebral edema. I never did get him to believe that he was talking about Brandon Lee.

That Bruce Lee part 😂😂😂😂😂😂

That Kim! That's Kim Harris! Jennifer Aniston's stand in. She's is the real deal. I know she had at least 2 roles on Friends itself(Joey has a hernia but his medical insurance has lapsed so he has to audition for work to pay so's to pay for the surgery. He auditions for a dog food commercial with a young boy and has to pick up the 20 lb bag of dry dog kibble while holding his hernia),She plays the casting director"Oh my God!"and later in the series when the girls go shopping for a wedding dress,she is the pretty girl in the boutique that Monica has just trashed, and then tells Monica "I own this place". You could also see her on the Susan Dey show," Love and War," and dancing on the big screen in Sister Act 2 with Whoopi Goldberg! A stint on "The Man show

Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now - he had heart attack so they had to use a body double for a lot of footage on the patrol boat for example

I was going to be so mad if Bruce and Brandon Lee weren't in this

Bruce Lee's face at 2:19 is just hilarious😂😂😂

Great research!

Josh Dallas' performance in Thor reminded me of Cary Elwes' Westley from Princess Bride. Woah

Not saying anything about the video, but the ad that happened to be ran on it, about 'period blood being normal, and not ok to cencor' was great.

I definitely noticed the change in Thor characters. It was very obvious there was a change.

Does anyone else remember the rumors back in the day that Vincent Perez from City of Angels was actually the stunt double on the first Crow film? What a time it was before you could kill rumors by searching the web on your cell phone.

the lee's family sure are popular with the guns

Longer than I expected

I would have never known Ford was replaced!

I never wanted to end up with either one !!!TRUTH!!! So it's all up for comedy Greatfullness... for the pickings.. and the Greater Goods !!!

Jon Snow and Cersei's body in GoT. They used a body double on both the atonement scene of Cersei and Jon Snow's waking up from death.

Working on the game of thrones, Ive seen how emotionally drained Lena and her double were during the takes of that scene. They were both crying in the green room while shooting that sequence and often we needed breaks for them to recover. I guess walking naked (or half naked in Lena's case) while being cursed by big mob, and hit by shit(although fake shit) and real rotten tomatoes and other shiet really gets to you. Props to both for being so professional.

The description of Superman's shooting schedule wasn't quite accurate. They shot Superman and the sequel simultaneously from the beginning. Only when they got close to the set release date for the first film's preset release date, and were behind schedule, did they decide that they should put all their efforts to just finish the first one. The narration makes it sound like the director just decided to start shooting the second film randomly in the middle of doing the first.

The visual and special effects for GoT, still blow my mind today.

The old switcheroo, amazing to know.

Thanks again for including Hannibal in your list. Though to be honest we weren't fooled. Though the actors were somewhat similar. Their mannerisms were too different. Michael was more Joker, while Joe was more Godfather in their portrayals of Mason Verger. Great list though!

nothing fooled me on Bruce Lee´s Game of Death, it was so clear to see...

even though I forgot what the story was about Crow. I always remember the ending scene.

the Borg Queen from the Star Trek franchise. Alison Kriege and Susanna Thomson.

I wonder if it was Michael Jackson's double that died some years ago, while M.J. escaped to an isolated island. 😕

LOVED IT.................

Natalie Wood. She died during the production of "Brainstorm." Through the use of a double and creative editing, they were able to finish the film.

Jean Harlow died while filming "Saratoga" with close friend Clark Gable. I think there is a video around here called something like "That Ain't Jean" that talks about it. I love Jean and thought I would be too sad to watch "Saratoga", but actually loved it when I finally watched. Her "doubles" are put behind binoculars at horse races, etc. , but when other actresses try to mimic her voice? You just have to laugh :) it's so bad. But the Jean/Clark stuff is worth it.

I have to wonder what goes through Josh Dallas' head in between Thor 1 and Thor 2. "Let's see, a Marvel movie franchise with lasting longevity guarantee to my career or a TV show with a story so hackneyed it can get cancelled at any time. Hmm, decisions, decisions. I, I have to go with the hackneyed TV show!" Double-U. Tee. Eff.

Nothing about Game of Death fooled us.

Bela Lugosi had a stand-in after he died for the legendary awful film Plan 9 From Outer Space

if my father was still alive he would LOVE this channel

The stand ins in Game of Death fooled us all?? Come on! It's hilariously apparent that it's not him 98% of the time. I gotta give it to the stand in though; he does the moves very well, so I can't complain about that. :D

Thanks a lot for ruining my childhood, I thought Ford was so unbelievably cool in that fight scene as a kid, he was like my idol, my father figure and now I'm finding out it wasn't even him?

Pretty surprised you didn't include Dick York to Dick Sargeant in "Bewitched." There are people who swear it was the same actor to this day. Even though they look and sound totally and completely different.

Harrison Ford was also replaced by Morgan Paull (the actor who plays the detective shot in the opening scene) in one scene in Blade Runner.

For one reason or another, I haven’t gotten around to watching season 3 of Hannibal yet. From the clip shown, the actor who played After Mason seems to have made a seamless combo of the actor who played Before Mason and Gary Oldman’s portrayal in the movie. The character had three physical forms in the whole world of Hannibal Lector. Sociopathic playboy with a penchant for cruelty and a fetish for tear martinis, the THING we were presented with in the Movie Hannibal that was both pitiful and completely hate worthy, and now we are seeing the true transition between the two forms. Face and voice. I know I’m an odd one out in the Hannibal fan group. I enjoy all the movies and books. I just choose to see inconsistencies (to what I have pictured in my mind as a long term fan? That sounds wrong, but fan to the series) as just theories, someone telling a different view of the story. I have my Hannibal, my Clarice, my Verger, etc, in my mind. The shows can’t take away from that, or suffer because of it. It just adds to the overall story I have in my mind. I will eventually watch season 3. I hope they did a good job with it, and I’m looking forward to seeing the new Verger. But to ppl who disagree with me, please know, I have my moments too. When the show premiered, I had a mild disagreement with my tv because they fucked to the stories. Until they got far enough along to show their own stories. I like my canon material, but am open to sprinkles on top.

1:08 "This switcharoo certainly saved a lot of trouble for the crew. While filming other kissing scenes in the Thor-series, Portman said that, since she's so short, "They usually had a ramp for me to walk up so I could land somewhere near his face."" According to both basic google search and IMDb, Elsa Pataky is full centimeter taller than Natalie Portman, Pataky standing 161cm tall, whereas Portman is 160cm*. A difference in height that apparently constitutes the need of ramp for one of them but not the other, when kissing a man next to whom both of them stand up to somewhere around his chest area. I guess Elsa is more accustomed to it, with her being married to said man, but still... *I don't bother adding comparable imperial sizes in this case, because anyone can tell based on numbers alone, that the difference is miniscule.

I had no idea on most of these!

Craziest part? Seamlessly merged? Everyone knew it wasn't Lena Headey in the walk of shame from the very first frame :D It was so poorly done it almost hurt.

'Hannibal' was such a great show, that deserved far better than NBC.

8:30 Brandon Lee wasn't killed by a dummy round, a squib (small explosive with a dye pack to simulate bullet hits) in the grocery bag he was carrying in the scene accidentally sent a projectile into his chest. (most likely a piece of the explosive, casing or other small item in the bag)

I knew Zachary Levi would be on there. I had to pause the movie to recognize him because I'd never seen him with lighter hair.

Full House? The olsen twins? Lmao I mean it listed their credits but when I watched the show it's not like I paid attention to which twin was which

Cruz is most famous in the US for her role in Vanilla Sky.

you forgot kiera knightly was sometimes called in to replace Natalie Portman in Star Wars Phantom Menace. Sometimes Natalie wasn't available for a shooting day, so Keira would step in, body double or far away shots. There is one scene also at the end of phantom when you clearly see handmaiden switch when palpatine goes to celebration. 4 tall caucasion girls as she walking , then suddenly and asian handmaiden pop ups as they are talking.

But i want to see Gary Busey

So many great actors on this list

Game of Death is a mess and no one watches it long enough to be “fooled” by anything.

"That's why it was so passionate" Is Natalie Portman assuming it wouldn't have been passionate with her? xD I would think any guy kissing Natalie Portman could find a way to make it a passionate one.

now that's fun!:)

OMG THAT THOR ONE IS THE CUTEST THING

Including Game of Death in this list creates a paradox... Anyone who was "fooled" by that movie obviously wouldn't even posess the mental capacity to read the title of this video.

um Crispin Glover in Back To The Future II???

Vic Armstrong What a perfect name for a stuntman
