Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra)

Channing Tatum has established himself as a talented actor, but he probably regrets the underwhelming performance he gave in the first live-action G.I. Joe film (he even admitted that he only did it to fulfill a three-film contract).

Although the poor script wasn’t completely his responsibility, if he had followed the film’s erratic course, it might have been amusingly horrible. Sadly, he delivered a lackluster performance and was cut from the sequel quite early.

Sylvester Stallone (Get Carter)

Despite the fact that Sylvester Stallone is a well-known action performer, it was a terrible mistake to cast him in the same part as Sir Michael Caine because their respective genres are extremely different. Nevertheless, the 1971 British crime classic Get Carter saw a needless remake.

For fans of the original, Caine’s portrayal of a villain who is shot in the back by Stallone brilliantly encapsulates what the remake is all about.
