Bruce Willis- John McClain
Edward Norton- Derek Vinyard
Val Kilmer- Doc Holiday

Val Kilmer looked like death in Tombstone. He truly rocked in that movie. Come to think of it, he played a pretty damn good Jim Morrison as well. He royally sucked as Batman though.

Peter Sellers - Pink Panther
There's a rumor that Mike Myers will be taking over that role and that new Pink Panther movies are in the works, but I can't imagine anyone doing it like he does.

Oh and Sean Connery..born to be Bond

Quote:Val Kilmer- Doc Holiday

Now that is a great fuckin pick, I also agree he was a great Jim Morrison he looked, walked, talked, and was Jim Morrison.

Like this movie huh? It figures, faggit

Quote:morgan freeman- everything he does

I submit you to both "Along came a spider" and "Kiss the Girls". He did a good job in both, but he is the exact opposite of who James Patterson wrote about in all the Alex Cross novels
