Woody harrelson and Juliet Lewis in natural Born Killers. I want to see her as the pathological badass in him is the unhinged anger-filled character.

I'm expanding the parameters here (aka cheating) because they have never been in a movie together.

I would like to see Peter Lorre in any Nicolas Cage role (and vice versa).

Do animals count as actors? Turner & Hooch could be interesting with Tom Hanks drooling and running on all fours and Beasley The Dog playing a detective.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in Last Action Hero.

It's an older movie, but the idea is that a kid gets sucked into an action movie staring Arnold and at one point, he's trying to convince Arnold that world isn't real, so they go to a video rental place to look at the Terminator memorabilia and it's all Stallone.

The Rock and Kevin Hart in just about anything they co-star in,

Especially if it at any point involves The Rock's character bridal carrying Kevin Hart's character.

Easy, in the movie Twins I'd swap Arnold for Danny.

R2D2 and Darth Vader.

Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan (Short Round) in Temple of Dune. I want a little boy as an action hero while Harrison Ford provides occasional support.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

You may be looking for the Goonies. Conveniently, same actor.

(And I still stand by "pincers of power" although I know it's wrong).

And this misadventure takes place on arrakis?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Interesting. Sub in a Harkkonen for the mad priest with a taste for organ-harvesting cruelty. A nightclub singer in the role of a Bene Gesserit witch who is there for no obvious reason. (Plans within plans?) The Fremen are the little slaves toiling to extract resources/spice.

In the end, Short Round liberates the oppressed masses and greenery returns to the parched lands. In accordance with prophecy.

It could work.

With the exact same wardrobe in every single scene.

Let's do a remake of Rush Hour with Chris Tucker affecting a Hong Kong accent and Jackie Chan in black face. Just to see how the world reacts.

Indeed. And since Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker became friends, they would probably at least make something fun to watch.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in Twins

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

They wouldn't have had to act. Danny DeVito is already a perfect specimen of a man.

Will Smith and Jaden Smith in “Pursuit of Happyness” at the ages they were at original filming

Were you thinking of swapping Nick Cage and John Travolta in Welcome to Hollywood?

So now I'm picturing a scene with Gollum kissing Aragorn, and I really wish I wasn't.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

You're welcome.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

This; there are no more correct answers to OP's question.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Honestly I think they would both do well in their new roles.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Andy Serkis is basically everyone, so he'd do a better job of playing Liv Tyler than she does.

Just caught sight of my own face in a mirror - turns out I was Andy Serkis the whole time.
