Weekend Discussion Thread: Alternate Actors in MSTed Movies?Okay, I’m not exactly sure how this works, so you may have to help. Alert reader Andrew writes:
Hmmm… Interesting, I think…
They have? I want details!
Um, okay! I’m gonna go with: Burt Reynolds as The Master in “Manos.” Can’t you just hear that goofy laugh as he chases the family around the house? 97 Replies to “Weekend Discussion Thread: Alternate Actors in MSTed Movies?”Commenting at Satellite News

) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
I see Bette Davis as the girlfriend in “Teenagers from Outer Space,” with John Goodman as grandpa, and Lisa Lampanelli as the lobster.
James Franco and Ellen Page in “SOOOOOOOULTAKER”! With Martin Sheen as “The Man”.
Stan McSerr, you win at life for saying Daffy Duck and Mitchel in the same sentance.
As long as we’re talking cartoon/game/other fictional characters in any role for these turdbomb excuse for motion pictures, I have a few more to throw out:
1: Webbigale (of Ducktales fame) as Lupita in Santa Claus (both are so innocent and sweet, it’s a perfect match)
2: Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik as Bela Lugosi’s character in Bride of the Monster. (One scientist wants to make a “rice” of super beings and has a giant octopuss as a pet, while the other wants to turn the populace into robot slaves, and has a fixation on god-like beings of destruction)
3: Ray Stanz as the lead character in Time Chasers. (fitting since both characters nearly brought the end of the world)
4: King Bowser Koopa as Gamera (self explanatory)
5: Splinter the Rat (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) in the place of Lee Van Cleef in the Master Ninja movies.
Russell Crowe as the Paper Chase guy in Warrior of the Lost World.
Daniel Radcliffe as Mikey from Teenage Strangler.
Zach what’s-his-face from High School Musical as “It stinks!” guy from Pod People.
The actual Nicholas Cage as Jerry from ‘The Incredibely Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies!’ =-p
A few more:
Demi Moore as Batwoman and all the members of the Spice Girls, The Pussycat Dolls, and Bardot as the Batgirls.
Michael J. Nelson as the Tab Hunter character in “San Francisco International”.
Ashton Kutcher as Paul and Madonna as Kathy in “Track of the Moon Beast”.
Benicio Del Toro as Paul and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz as Natalie in “Werewolf”. Hey, Benicio is starring in the remake of “The Wolf Man” and he looks like a werewolf in mid-transition anyway. He’s perfect!
John C. Reilly as any Coleman Francis character. Except John C. Reilly actually has talent…
Jackie Earle Haley as Torgo, Viggo Mortensen as The Master, and the cast of Desperate Housewives as the bickering wives in “Manos”.
Daffy Duck as Mitchell is RIDICULOUS!
Now, Bugs Bunny maybe. Or Perhaps Elmer Fudd.
NO Wait! Think about the bedroom scene.
It’s got to be Roger Rabbit and Dolores.
Or perhaps Eddie.
“[Eddie is hiding Roger in his pants]
Dolores: Is that a rabbit in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” :lol:
How about Adam West in drag as Batwoman, he probably would do it.
ck is right, Not Daffy Duck as Mitchell, but rather Yosemite Sam. When Mitchell gets angry at the little Kid, I can just picture YS doing that part.
Easily the best one so far has been John Goodman as Mitchell.
Here’s a pair for you though, Will Ferrell and Toper Grace as the leads in “The Girl From Lover’s Lane.”
There’s just no end to the number of MSTed movies that Nicholas Cage in full-on crazy mode would improve.
Margaret: Mike! Mike!
Mike (Nicholas Cage): Just a sec, honey, I’ve found something! It’s… it’s Torgo’s hand! How’d it get burnt? HOW’D IT GET BURNT?!?! (punches Margaret in the face)
Don Adams is Adam Chance in Agent For H.A.R.M.
Paul Lynde is Arthur Duval (The Rich Dad) in Catalina Caper.
Paris Hilton’s dignity is the creature in Monster A Go-Go. (Because, you see, there was no creature…)
I’m not sure why, but Hugh Jackman as Gary (Bob Boxbody) in Horrors of Spider Island.
Jim Henson as the grizzled prospector in “Final Sacrifice”
Don Knotts as Dropo in SCCTM
Adam Sandler as that Ryder ‘Big Mclargehuge’ guy in Space Mutiny
Patrick Swayze as Ator
Matthew Broderick as Jimmy Wilson in I Accuse My Parents.
Professor Irwin Corey as the professor in the begining of the mole people
Bela Lugosi as Torgo and Boris Karloff as The Master in Manos: Hands Of Fate. It might have been genuinely creepy then instead of just weird and hilarious. Or go even weirder than the original and have R. Lee Ermey play The Master. “Now drop and give me twenty, maggot.”
Stuart Margolin when he was a kid as Winky in Rocky Jones with Lee Marvin playing Rocky Jones. Seriously. Oh, and the gorgeous Jean Rogers (of original Flash Gordon serial fame) as Vena. Cleolanda I wouln’t change, perfect casting on that one.
Have Gamera play Godzilla in Godzilla Vs. Megalon. ;)
I vote Professor Bobo as the Boggy Creek Creature and a hearty second for John Goodman as Mitchell.
@#29
I know Google says Tom DeSantis played Lurch in the “Addams Family” films, but that is simply incorrect. The name of the actor who played Lurch in the films with Raul Julia and Angelica Houston is Carel Struycken. And frankly, even though he does have the height and the huge head for it, I think he’s too sweet to play Eegah.
Instead, since the character was supposed to be scary (I suppose?), I’d go with some hulking WWE star. The Undertaker, perhaps?

ECHO, echo!
ECHO, echo!
Sorry about that…
Rita Moreno as that witch lady in …Zombies, or was that already Rita Moreno?
I just want to heartily endorse the idea of Bruce Campbell as Zap Rowsdower.
Time Chasers:
Richard Dreyfuss – Nick
Terri Garr – Lisa
Kevin Spacey – J.K. Robertson
Danny DeVito – Pink Boy
Bruce Springsteen – Tony (whoever that guy is who works at the airport)
Robert DeNiro – The Taxi Driver that comes from New York, New York.
Charlotte Rae – The Old Lady who Nick meets in the grocery store.
Red Zone Cuba:
Griffin – John Goodman
Cook – Harvey Keitel
Landis – Steve Busceme
Chastain – Johnny Depp
Mrs. Chastain – Wynnona Ryder
My last recast; THE FINAL SACRIFICE
Troy: Orlando Bloom
Zap Rowsdower: Dennis Franz
Satoris: Everret McGill
Aunt Betty: Rhoseanne Bharr
Mark Pipper: Shaggy voiced dubbed by Yosemite Sam
Prince of Space
Prince–Chester Cheetah (wearing the face mask and shawl)
Uma Thurman IS Diabolik!
Keanu Reeves as Lance Fuller in “The She Creature”. Keanu has definitely read Fuller’s “Do Not Act” from cover to back.
Crispen Glover IS Mr. Krasker!
my choice for Girl in Lover’s Lane:
Big Stupid: Mark Wahlburg
Danny: Shia LaBouf
Carrie she’s so very: Jessica Simpson
Jesse: either Danny DeVito or Rosie O’Donnell or possibly Rosie giving Danny a piggy back ride. either way you have the total repulsion factor, the lead female is in mortal danger at all times and as far as the wandering eye..just whack ’em in the head with a bat. effective and a little theraputic.
ok,ok…
Riding With Death
Sam aka Ben Murphy: David Hasselhoff
Abby: Madonna
Chief/ Big Daddy/ guy with really dirty glasses: Bill Shatner
Buffalo Bill: Jim Carrey
Cupcake: Drew Barrymore
the elusive Mr. Denby: ehh Sam Waterson for some respectability.
“the elusive Mr. Denby: ehh Sam Waterson for some respectability.”
Agreed. Pull him out of his cozy Law & Order/TD Ameritrade world and remind of the actor he used to be.
Off topic (way off)
World Series: Phillies in 6.
Helpful advice to Yankee fans:
“Leave the Bronx!” :smile:
Phantom Planet and Charlton Heston.
Heston as Ray “good and beautiful” Makonnen ( and maybe as Frank Chapman too ).
Slaps the back of his neck, “god damn, you know captain, evet year of my life…… “
#84 medium – Right on! I completely agree. Actually I could see Heston playing every role in Phantom Planet with ease. Except possibly Zeta. I’m just not sure Chuck could keep his trap shut for that long…
Hmm Could there be a certain resemblance of Chuck Heston’s Moses to Sessom?
It would certainly be a louder Sessom.
Dr.ChadFeelgood. . . .
Well don’t I feel silly. DAMN IMDB!! You’re right on who played Lurch in the Addams Family films, and Carel Struycken is too nice of a fella to play Eegah!, BUT, John DeSantis DID play Lurch on the short lived 90’s TV version of the Addams Family, AND I still think he would be perfect as a Eegah.
Just check out his role as the Juggernaut ghost in Thirteen Ghosts (probably one of the cooler looking ghosts in that god awful film) as well as the Moonface killer in Don Coscarelli’s Incident On and Off a Mountain Road episode of Masters of Horror. No doubt in my mind he could pull off an Eegah role.
And I am alone in the thought that Kurt Russell should play Arch Hall Jr.’s role in Eegah!?? I mean, Russell played Elvis in a movie years ago, and here he can play a Cabbage patch faced version of Elvis. I’d like to see Kurt with a hairstyle reminiscent of his cut from Big Trouble in Little China.
Come on people, recognize divine hypothetical casting genius when it happens.
We got this far without William Shatner?!
How about Leonard Nimoy (with the beard) as The Great Virelli from “Devil Doll” with William Shatner as Hugo the dummy!
I dunno about Kurt Russell as Arch Hall Jr. How about an early 1960’s version of Wayne Newton?
Oh I’m gonna combine here cast from The Carol Burnett Show and Hal Needham actors:
Harvey Korman as The Master
Tim Conway as Torgo
Burt Reynolds as Mike
Loni Andersen as his wife
Vicki Lawrence as the little girl (obviously she’d have to dress as a little girl)
Valerie Perrine as The Master’s first wife
Alf as the Master’s dog
Dom Deluise as male teenager
Madeline Kahn as female teenager
And get Mel Brooks to direct
I was also thinking also Tom Cruise as John Wikowski in The Starfighters
Finally, in the last Gamera movie, Helen and Kenny (daddy I want a Coke)played by Donny and Marie Osmond
“Dom Deluise as male teenager
Madeline Kahn as female teenager
And get Mel Brooks to direct”
=========================
And what’s the matter with Peter Boyle as the male teenager? (As the cops drive away they here Kahn singing)
“Oh, sweet mystery of life at last I’ve found you!” (They obviously just had a roll in the hay).
This is great!
How ’bout Elmer Fudd as the hunter in “Bloodlust”? Or Fred Flintstone as Watney in “Outlaw”? Man, once you get started on this, you don’t want to stop . . . :twisted:
#90, that is brilliant!
As for me, I say Sofia Vergara as Lea in “Space Mutiny” and also as one of the ‘FOXES!’ in “Angels Revenge.” With her gorgeous boobs and butt, she would fit right in, and would probably steal the show.
I haven’t followed professional wrestling on TV in fifteen years, but as a Botchamania mark, I’m familiar with El Generico. Ole…ole, ole…ole – ole-o-layyyyyyy!
Tomas Milian as Castro in ‘Red Zone Cuba’
Sean William Scott as Peter of ‘Devil Fish’
That’s the best I can think of.
I don’t have any suggestions but I would like to point out something to no. 74:
—————————-
Mrs. Chastain – Wynnona Ryder
—————————-
No. 74, your spelling is way off. Her first name is not spelled Wynnona it’s Winona, jeez.
