6	->''[[Creator/GuyPearce Pearce]], as the hero, makes the mistake of [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously trying to give a good and realistic performance]]. [[Creator/JeremyIrons Irons]] at least knows what kind of movie he's in, and hams it up accordingly.''

9	->''...a great deal of swordplay, interrupted by shouted dire imprecations from Jeremy Irons, who has not had so much fun since Juliette Binoche decided she had to ravish him right then and there in ''Damage.

12	->''The meaning of 'Starring Creator/BruceWillis' has shifted from promise to threat in the last few years. But with "Starring Creator/NicolasCage", you've still got one in four odds of something extraordinary.''

16	->''But mostly it's an opportunity to watch Creator/JohnMalkovich turn in a performance that had to - HAD TO - be a direct challenge to the director, [='=]Please, fire me. I'm begging you to fire me. I'll do a take like this and then you'll have to fire me. Wait, [[SpringtimeForHitler I'm still not fired?']]''

20	->''[[Creator/KlausKinski Kinski’s]] reputation for being impossible preceded him at this point, and he didn’t get many job offers, so had to act in abject crap like David Schmoeller’s 1986 film ''{{Film/Crawlspace}}''... 'I am my own judge, jury, and executioner,' Dr. Gunther shrieks, walking around in his basement [[ThoseWackyNazis in an SS uniform]]. 'Heil Gunther!' Kinski puts on a crazy smile and wobbling eyes when he says this line. It’s a fuck you to the idiocy of the script, and it’s so funny, [[LaughablyEvil it’s actually scary.]]''

23	->''Berkoff is a character actor who never really got the respect that he deserved. He made a great villain, if you couldn’t afford Creator/MalcolmMcDowell. Nah, I kid – he’s great. Here he plays a [[FakeRussian rogue Soviet general]] (''original'', I know), who realises that he’s in a terrible film. So the actor runs around, putting on invasion-themed powerpoints like an evil Al Gore and stressing random syllables because he’s evil! He yells about “un'''''REAL'''''is'''''TIC''''' policies!” and “at'''''TACK''''' strategies!” to the assembled heads of the Russian government with such passion that I found myself wondering how he orders lunch at the cafeteria. “I’ll have a cu'''''CUMB'''''er '''''SAN'''''dwich, pl'''''EASE!'''''

29	->''...But for now, let's check in with Malcolm [=McDowell=], who is Malcolm [=McDowelling=] it up over at Water & Power HQ. I'm not even gonna lie: I am a complete sucker for guys like Malcolm [=McDowell=] as villains. I want a version of ''Film/TheExpendables'' that's the villains instead of the heroes with him, Jeremy Irons, Creator/AlanRickman, Creator/KurtwoodSmith and [[Creator/FMurrayAbraham that dude]] who played Salieri in ''{{Film/Amadeus}}.

32	->''The program was created as an amalgam of hundreds of different real-life killers, including Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein. Apparently, all that smashed together results in [[TheDeadCanDance a tap-dancing jackal.]] Seriously, [[Creator/RussellCrowe Crowe]] is awful...[[ArsonMurderAndLifesaving ly entertaining in this movie.]] [[Creator/DenzelWashington Washington]] sleepwalks through his performance.''

35	->''After years of watching other actors ham it up as [[Film/JamesBond Bond villains,]] Creator/SeanConnery must have wanted to try it himself. As Sir August de Wynter, who wants to [[WeatherControlMachine control the weather]] all over the planet, he's a real glazed ham, all right. I mean, you stare at him in this movie and you think "My God, he doesn't even ''seem'' like Sean Connery." [[Film/AustinPowers Dr. Evil]] had more dignity than this, for Christ's sake. Sean's lowlight comes early, when he's addressing a roomful of henchmen dressed in…you ready?… ''[[GoofySuit teddy-bear costumes]]''. Connery also wears one, though he takes the head off so we can see who he is. He should've left it on.''

37
38	->''I shouldn’t condemn Irons too much, because in truth he ends up providing most of the movie’s meager entertainment value. It’s obvious that early in the production, he realized that this was not going to be his finest hour no matter what he did, so he chose to indulge himself and turn his usual carefully-measured intensity into full-on scenery chewing. It’s fun to watch him cut loose and forget everything he ever learned about good acting, as we will see shortly.''

41	->''As he descends the stairs, we see Profion is played by [[LoungeLizard Wayne Newton]]...no, wait, I mean it’s Jeremy Irons, who earns his place in the annals of embarrassed actors with one of the most over-the-top performances in recent bad movie memory. Really, this is $9.95-a-plate off-strip Las Vegas dinner theatre ''{{Theatre/Hamlet}}'' bad... Between the way Irons gestures, closes his eyes while orating, and shakes his head as he speaks, he winds up looking like a faith healer on one of the Protestant channels in deep cable.''

43
44	->''To be fair to Bruce Payne, though, I don’t think there was much he could do with this role. I checked the script -- all of these lines, including the uber-creepy, "What’s the matter? Don’t you want to [[FoeYayShipping be inside me]]?" line were all in the script. What’s an actor supposed to do with that? You can either play it straight and [[{{Narm}} sound like a tool]] or you can go the route that Creator/RaulJulia went in the ''Film/StreetFighter'' movie and give a performance that includes a large order of ham with a side of cheese. I’m not happy with Payne’s performance, but this guy had to go through this movie and ''Dungeons & Dragons'' in the same year. If he hadn’t been given the chance to go stupidly over the top with his performances, [[YourHeadASplode his head might have exploded]].''

46
47	->''[[Creator/RobertDuvall Duvall]] is seriously hilarious in this movie and the ''Film/CapeFear'' comparison is apt. He apparently [[GoingNative goes all native]] when he gets captured by the Indians so he is like a [[SplitPersonality two face]] when he returns to civilization. In the Puritan camp he is all super prim and proper and stiff. When its night, he strips down, shaves his whole body, carves things into himself, whoops, hollers, and kills motherf*ckers with a knife. Everyone else tries to be all stiff and have proper accents and talk formally and whatnot. [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent No, not Duvall]]. He went all [[Film/LethalWeapon Martin Riggs]] in this movie and it’s glorious.''

52
53	->''Unlike the filmmakers, who couldn't figure out exactly what kind of movie they wanted to make, Raul clearly decided that ''Street Fighter'' was meant to be utterly ridiculous. He may have gotten this idea from the scene in which he transforms a man into a giant green troll doll with Kool-Aid, or it may have occurred to him during the five-minute sequence wherein he tries to blow up an invisible speedboat with a ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' arcade stick.''

56	->''[[Creator/BillyZane Zane]] is wildly over-the-top, which is probably why he didn't get good reviews. Also, Zane is wildly over-the-top, which is why he is the most entertaining thing in the movie.''

59	->''I know you're going to think I’m mad, but imagine a universe where the the Rani joined the Doctor on his adventures and [[DeadpanSnarker commented dryly]] on his prattish actions all the time. The show would have become something unrecognisable, and I would be needing incontinence pads for each subsequent story. Watch the climax to episode two, where she pulls off her wig like a bad drag queen at the end of a long night of cabaret and then gets accosted and tied up like a {{panto\|mime}} villain, every move exaggerated to let the kiddies know that she isn't really in any danger.... I could watch her until the end of time, refusing to take any of this nonsense remotely seriously and running rings around the new Doctor and Mel.''

61
62	->''Creator/EricRoberts, for all the criticism he gets, is at least having fun with the script. His decision to devour large swaths of scenery locate him firmly in the tradition of [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS17E5TheHornsOfNimon}} Graham Crowden]] and [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS4E5TheUnderwaterMenace}} Joseph Furst]]. Which is to say that he’s not destined for fan acclaim, but he’s easy to like if you’re of the mind to.''

65	->'''David''': Lionel Luthor is just an unrepentant asshole...The biggest high point for me was Lionel, probably. He looks like he can chew up some scenery, and I’m looking forward to seeing him the rest of this season.\
66	'''Chris''': Definitely. Things were just way more fun when he was around, just arch-villaining it up all over the place and [[PipePain hitting Green Arrow with pipes.]]\
67	'''David''': This show really isn’t at its best when it’s trying to be subtle.

70	->"I like Creator/JimCarrey a lot as an actor. First of all, he's a good actor, he's done plenty of really good movies with really great performances that are worth seeing. Second of all, he's also a really good ''terrible'' actor, which is what he's putting on display as Doctor Robotnik in [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 this movie]]."

79	'''Rich:''' What is his name, the guy who played, uh, [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Norman?]]\
80	'''Jay:''' That's Creator/ChrisCooper, he's a really great actor. (I guess that's [[ClassicallyTrainedExtra a running theme.]])\
81	'''Mike:''' Chris Cooper is an ''UsefulNotes/AcademyAward''-winning actor.\
82	'''Rich:''' That's fine, but he was more cartoony in that [[DeathIsDramatic deathbed scene]] than he was in the [[Film/TheMuppets2011 Muppet movie]].\

89	->"[[Creator/DennisHopper Hopper]] is always a joy to watch mucking about in a bad movie, but his role in ''{{Film/Waterworld}}'' is a genuine delight. He doesn't bother trying to be legitimately menacing because it just wasn't gonna work; instead, he goes for this [[AffablyEvil affably-bumbling-but-merciless]] antagonist, halfway between [[APirate400YearsTooLate a kid's movie pirate]] and a [[HonestJohnsDealership Texas snake oil salesman]]."
