well to be fair he was wearing a ton of make-up and they altered his voice in post-production. still pretty weird when you watch Rocky Horror and Legend back to back

David Hemmings in GLADIATOR (2000). Compare him with the way he looked in BARBARELLA (1968) and CAMELOT (1969).

Bana for me too. He was bugging me the whole movie, then I felt really stupid when the credits rolled.

I'd recognize that voice anywhere. She'll always sound like she's 15.

I felt like an idiot the first time I saw Tropic Thunder, because I didn't realize that was Tom Cruise as the studio executive. About halfway through the movie I realized it was him.

not exactly end credits but I totally didn't know it Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder's trailer till they started naming off the actors and that's when the theater erupted in laughter, as did I.

Patrick Swayze in "Powder Blue."

(Though the primary reason I watched that movie was for Jessica Biel's stripping scenes.)

When I saw Fire in the Sky in theaters, I didn't realize that the main character was the T-1000 until the end.
