What actor played a role so iconicly that it's unimaginable anyone else could replace them?

[StereoPlayer]

 

[gcb]

Dustin Hoffman as "Ratso"

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Keanu Reeves as John Wick.

Jerry Seinfeld as Seinfeld.

John Belushi as Vito Corleone.

 

[Wood and Wire]

the old, Chinese eye engineer in the cold suit.

James Hong - brilliant in Big Trouble In Little China, and a career boosting turn in Everything Everywhere All At Once.


Yep, Blade Runner is perfect in every regard, and somehow each revision makes it better.

My only grumble with the "Final" cut is the airline safe dialogue change to "I want more life, father."

It's an initially amusing, playful change, but the original reading with the expletive is utterly terrifying, given the absolutely impossible predicament Batty has put Tyrell in.

I challenge your nomination to a fight with my nominee, in a movie that had not one, but two different screenplays written, and still never got made :

 

[Wood and Wire]

'What are you looking at?'
​

Andre vs Harry

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in The Doors.

 

[Wood and Wire]

The yardstick by which all others are measured

But man, I wish this had actually come to fruition

 

[FilterFunk]

Who else but these two guys in these roles in these movies?

Pryor and Wilder in "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy":

 

[Tom Bomb]

​

 

[Sithian]

The Godfather- Iconic- Marlon Brando - Don Vito Corleone.

Rocky was Stallones masterpiece. Carl Weathers was great as Apollo Creed too.

Stallone's John Rambo another one deserving a mention.

and for good measure- Schwarzenegger did Conan justice-

I've not aware of the version where he says, "father".

Maybe I'm sheltered, but the only version I've ever been exposed to is the one where he uses the F word.

Coincidence, but right now I'm in the middle of watching Blade Runner with a friend who's never seen it. I'll see which version I have on DVD.

 

[Richland123]

Barbara Eden as Jeannie

 

[5StringBlues]

Harry dean Stanton in whatever movie harry dean Stanton happens to be in at the moment.

 

[Tom Bomb]

Currying favor, no favors, loathsome, Tim, locked-in, inimitable.

Others in the cast really resonate,​

Annabelle Lanyon

David Bennent



and Mia Sara

​

 

[friskinator]

Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in all 3 of these.

 

[HubbardsFate]

James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano.

 

[Ostie]

Inconceivable!
