Melanie Griffith as a Homicide Cop as an Hasidic Woman
In a truly remarkable case of bad casting within bad casting, Sidney Lumet's "A Stranger Among Us" features blonde, baby-voiced Melanie Griffith as a hardened New York City homicide detective who goes undercover as a member of the Hasidic community to solve a murder. How meta. (Ron Galella/WireImage/LIFE.com) Visit LIFE: Your World in Pictures
Sometimes Hollywood turns unknown actors into movie icons by matching them up with roles that allow them to show off their natural talents and use their finely honed skills to reveal the complexities of their characters. And sometimes, Hollywood botches the job so badly that the casting sinks the entire movie. These are some of the worst examples of Hollywood casting in cinema history.

... Siddhartha Gautama, who later became known as the Buddha. Yes, that Buddha. Reeves, best remembered as the guy from "The Matrix" and Ted "Theodore" Logan of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," portrayed the founder of one of the world's major religions in 1993's Little Buddha.

In arguably the most jaw-droppingly bad example of haywire Hollywood casting ever, Denise Richards — until then best known for a topless threeway scene in "Wild Things," played nuclear scientist Christmas Jones in the mostly forgettable 1999 James Bond flick "The World Is Not Enough." She called her role "brainy," but spent most of the movie in a wee tank top and tiny shorts. (JOEL SAGET/AFP/Getty Images/LIFE.com) Visit LIFE: Your World in Pictures
The funnyman's movie career stalled in part thanks to his role as a tough-as-nails, maverick Detroit cop (partnered with a Japanese detective played by Pat Morita) in 1989's "Collision Course." (Paul Natkin/WireImage/LIFE.com) Visit LIFE: Your World in Pictures

Casting all-American guy Kevin Costner as 12th-century English outlaw Robin Hood raised eyebrows — eyebrows that stayed up when the native Californian gave up on even pretending to be an Englishman partway through the movie. Instead, he basically reprised his character from "Dances With Wolves," complete with mullet. (Hulton Archive/Getty Images/LIFE.com) Visit LIFE: Your World in Pictures
When moviemakers try to illustrate why it's never a good idea for a director to cast family members in key roles, all they have to do is say "Sofia Coppola and 'The Godfather, Part III.'" Francis Ford Coppola's little girl — who had a bit part as the baby being christened in the first part of the trilogy — subbed in as Michael Corleone's beloved child when Winona Ryder bowed out at the last minute. Coppola earned a Golden Razzie for Worst New Star by mumbling through her lines and hamming it up in a laughable death scene that caused audiences to break out in laughter in what was supposed to be the heart-wrenching climax to the series.

Under the expert guidance of wunderkind director Ed Woods, Swedish-born wrestler Tor Johnson was totally believable as defecting Soviet military scientist Joseph Javorsky in the 1961 sci-fi masterpiece "The Beast of Yucca Flats." Really, though, he and everything about the movie was pretty much unwatchable. (Hulton Archive/Getty Images/LIFE.com) Visit LIFE: Your World in Pictures
When Darth Vader was still a combination of James Earl Jones and English bodybuilder David Prowse, he was possibly the most intimidating villain in modern mainstream moviedom. But when slender Canuck Hayden Christensen donned the cloak and protrayed the pre-Vader Anakin Skywalker as a whiny, entitled brat in the prequel trilogy, the Dark Side of the Force seemed a lot less seductive.

Madonna has reinvented herself countless times, but arguably the least effective transformation was from sex-saturated Material Girl to a missionary nurse in the truly awful 1986 movie "Shanghai Surprise," costarring then-husband Sean Penn.
