Cary Elwes in SAW. Overwrought emotion to the max.

Alan Smithee

Anyone in Valley of the Dolls.

Vernon Wells, Commando

Bruce Payne in Highlander: Endgame. He's so over-the-top that I'm still not sure if his role was meant to be taken seriously or meant as a comedic sendup of megalomaniacal villains.

Solid Snake

Jesus. That's a shitty fight scene.

RocShemp

I'm still pissed about how horribly they misused Donnie Yen.

Speaking of Donnie Yen, his next movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II: The Green Legend, will be the first feature film to premiere simultaneously on Netflix and in IMAX theaters on August 28, 2015.

Ky-Fi

It really would not surprise me if that was true.

hanshotfirst1138

I kind of think he was hamming it up on purpose.

Solid Snake

Yeah. That role was supposed to go where it went. It was the era for it.

Yeti4623

For the time, I don't think he was supposed to be truly funny.

UAIOE

I don't think "Commando" really set out for the level of hilarity it currently holds. It just went from a cheesy action movie to absurdly hilarious cult favorite.

I want to nominate Alan Rickman in "Prince of Thieves", but I sort of feel he intended it to be that hilarious.

hbilly

Oh god, yes. His performance caused laughing fits. I like Saw, but it is my definition of overrated.

I think I have embedded this at least a dozen times here on this forum, but it deserves to be posted as many times as possible. Cage turns this Neo-Noir into a comedy classic:

I have to watch that.

Glad to see the love for The Happening. We watched that a few weeks ago, and it was THE best family movie night ever. I thought I didn't like M Night Shyamalan movies, but I was wrong!

mrhan

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! The whole movie.

DaveyJoe

Sally in Demons 2. All of her friends have gathered to her place for her birthday party, and she's stuck in her room in total hysterics over the dress she picked out to wear. This is a woman in her 20s with a nice apartment and she's acting like a spoiled brat over her wardrobe. She finally settles down and decides to watch a scary movie in her room while her friends are outside partying.

PatD

I thought the part where Edward Norton is cradling the dead body of Edward Furlong in American History X was over the top. But, that's just me.

Also Gary Oldman in The Dark Knight Rises had some rather melodramatic moments that weren't up to par with his usual excellence.

Guru Askew

I didn't wanna rile up the Nolanites but since you're leading the charge I'm comfortable saying that almost every line Bale delivers in his Batman voice is hilarious. Of course it gets progressively worse throughout the series but his "swear to me" line is probably the single most ridiculous moment. That or the speech he gives the Joker at the end of TDK about how the people on the boats aren't ugly like he is.

RocShemp

Funny enough, I think "swear to me" is the only time Bale's Batman growl was ever effective. But I do agree it was overdone and got worse as the series progressed.

Troy Stiffler

A classic.

Jon Voight in Anaconda

(I don't know what he was trying to do with this performance, but it is the most entertaining part of the entire movie)
