Wish when they make a "more" video they would put a link to the previous videos

[@Luvd007]

Don't come for Aeon Flux. I absolutely love that movie!

[@MoonjumperReviews]

The title “actors who went to extreme lengths…” is a misnomer. It sounds like actors who, for example, go on dangerous crash diets to lose dangerous amounts of weight or do something physically permanent to one’s body for a single roll. We’ve seen actors do this and it’s moronic. Ashton Kutcher appears to be the only one in this list that did anything similar to that. The rest didn’t particularly go to extreme lengths; they had extreme things happen TO them accidentally.

[@MrFinster53]

yeaaa theyre reall good with those misleading titles

[@SAMTYLER1974]

Used to love me some Liquid TV so was certainly intrigued by the Aeon Flux movie. Granted, it wasn’t that great but I’ve seen far worse and Theron certainly earns her action star chops that’d later be utilised in Atomic Blonde and Fury Road (oh, and the Crossfire music video!) As for The Lone Ranger I’ve long considered it to be hugely underrated and no worse than the numerous unnecessary Pirates sequel. Yes, it’s dark tone makes it, like Verbinski’s awesome Rango, not particularly kiddie friendly and the casting of Armie Hammer in the titular role may have seemed great at the time but … well, you know the rest … but it’s still visually impressive, entertaining and has a spectacular action sequence finale! And finally Super Mario Brothers, another film that’s too often unfairly lambasted. Sure, it’s an utterly bizarre, twisted, dark and flawed use of Nintendo’s mascots but taken on its own merits is still a decent enough film with some fun scenery chewing by Dennis Hopper, some superb production design and a fond reminder of the days where huge, expansive sets were still built practically and not just shot on green screen and painted in with CGI. So whether those three films warrant near paralysis, equine injury and/or multiple stabbing is questionable but it didn’t stop me from watching them and, in some way, rather enjoying them.

[@hthrun]

I haven't seen Lone Ranger, but agree on Aeon Flux and Super Mario Bros.

[@aquabuddha]

If Halle Berry hurt herself while filming The Call, a movie where she spends the vast majority of her time in an office chair, I think she's probably just clumsy lmao

[@bd8033]

Legit. I loved the original Mario Bros movie. Still do

[@TheRantyRider]

Aeon Flux is quite a good film, but the top 'suffered for their art' ward must go to Christian Bale for The Machinist,would many actors starve themselves as much as he did? Nope, bluescreen here we come!

[@ArcherSuh4721]

Especially considering that it wasn't even really necessary to do so!

[@sonablom]

I can't remember if he was on the first list, but nothing will ever be as cringe as Jared leto really thinking he was doing something with his shenanigans on the suicede squad production only to have most of his scenes cut.

[@rorylynch7775]

That one doenst qualify because while Suicide Squad was not a good movie, it was still a box office success and this list focuses specifically on films that failed at the box office or were forgotten after

[@eddmario]

If I'm not mistaken, the stuff he supposedly did on set were apparently just rumors and didn't actually happen. Hell, I'm pretty sure Will Smith and Margot Robbie themselves confirmed the condom story was made up.

[@davidcarter6491]

I liked the Eagle

[@caronstout354]

"The Eagle" is my favorite Channing Tatum movie.

[@JM.Bengtsson]

I always saw Johnny Depp in the Lone Ranger as a crazy white dude who only thinks he is native american.😂

[@sonablom]

Pretty sure he went through all the trouble of having a tribe accept him during filming. Edit: it was the Comanche nation.

[@PrinceIsot]

​@@sonablom he also actually does have native American ancestry 😂 probably more than a lot of the professional victims who complained

[@johnmcdonagh9336]

I like the way you think. I'll watch it at some point with that notion in mind. Should be a big improvement.

[@JohnnyKickajoo]

Johnny is a quarter breed like me. It is a real thing. That's why he has a weak beard and tan skin. Should be obvious to most... But those people applaud when Idris Elba plays a Norse God or English Hero so ... The half white, half native American people is one of the most disrespected races to ever have to grimace and bear bullshit liberalism like this comment.

[@anthonywaggett9317]

I will state this on here so it is recorded for eternity - I think Super Mario Bros is a great movie!

[@smacksalad]

I had my head cut off for the film "The Beheaded". Never got released, no ones seen it.

[@spaceo8568]

John Leguizamo said that he and Bob Hoskins were both perpetually drunk during the shoot for Super Mario Bros. Lol

[@zaynevanday142]

I loved ❤ the Eagle 😂

[@ruviwilhelmy4294]

As a psychotherapist I get offended, when people with fear of heights are described as "whimps". Anxiety disorders are a devastating and no laughing matter. Everyone can develop such a disease during their lifetime and we need to applaud sufferers, when they face their worst fears.

[@stuktacular2113]

Poor Channing actually had skin in the game

[@jr408bythebay]

Wait,who kept stabbing him?

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

Hey, a good director needs to motivate the actors.

[@rolandofgilead43]

he left out that Both Bob and John L. i'm not even going to try and attempt to spell his last name lol they both got drunk during filming it wasn't just Hoskins according to him he was drunk during the entire time he was there so i would not be surprised if that was why he was getting injured so often.

[@josephwest124]

Somehow I think all the punishment that Cena experienced in his "pro wrestling" career would be absolutely trivial compared to falling even 20 feet onto a concrete sidewalk (or even through those scaffolding boards). Even jumping into a deep lake from a 20 foot overhang has resulted in people breaking their backs and necks and legs from the impact.

[@DavidJacobs-rl1rj]

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I still love "Super Mario Bros", mostly because of Bob Hoskins (and to a lesser degree John Leguizamo).

[@lynnevetter]

Now I want to watch the eagle.😅. Poor dude.

[@caseymacmacl7463]

I actually just rewatched The Lone Ranger two days ago! It's one of my favourite movies!

[@burch316]

I watched 12 rounds, the plot and story was just like Die hard with a vengeance.

[@nixeleth]

Just wanted to say that I watched The Eagle--I actually enjoyed the hell out of The Eagle. I thought they did a pretty nice job of adapting the movie from the book.

[@aJohnnyBenton]

Halle Barry also broke her ribs in the Netflix movie Bruised.

[@Hilz28]

Am I the only one who liked the Travolta as Gotti thing? 🤷‍♀️ Def better than Battlefield Earth

[@1987MartinT]

You can do your best and still fail. You can sweat and suffer during work with it still being in vain.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

I liked the Lone Ranger

[@dizzyrascal5015]

None of these involved actors going to extreme lengths. They just got injured. Going to extreme lengths is method acting and done on purpose which none of these were.

[@shockgtheshawnyboy]

I just started this video, if Brown bunny isn't on here this list is garbage

[@StollenBunz]

Catwoman is still one of my favorite movies. It’s so campy and ridiculous. Not box office gold but definitely a fun time.

[@rolandofgilead43]

it had a story that always has made me think of one of those prime time soaps like Beverly Hills 90210 did back in the 90's minus the action. i think a show like that did do something similar in the 90's

[@patrickdoyle6201]

My brother and I were watching it at the drive-in and when she started wretching, we looked at each other and said "HAIRBALL"😹

[@rolandofgilead43]

@@patrickdoyle6201 NICE that is such a perfect reply

[@JUnit41484]

Sorry, did I just watch Tanto drop like 80 feet into a car full of... Rocks? And I'm assuming he's just fine? Tf was that??

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

He fell onto the tender car, carrying pieces of wood to feed into the steam engine.

[@dizzyrascal5015]

Man completely forgets that WWE is fake.

[@RustyShacklefordLLC]

It's scripted, but those guys still get pummeled.

[@jonathanbranum8976]

okay a bomb, maybe according to box office and general reception...I liked Aeon Flux/Hi Ho Silver, and mario was a shitty nintendo adaptation, but it was still a first for us nintendo/mario fans, I still watch it from time to time--hehehe JD portrayal is typical JD, a wild ride & out there!...definitely wasn't white washed in any way... ;p

[@Luciphell]

@jonathanbranum8976 Keep in mind the type of people the WhatCulture writers are. These are people that praise 'The Last Jedi' as stunning and brave, so...

[@jonathanbranum8976]

...grain of salt? hehehe...

[@maxrander0101]

this list lies the Eagle is a bloody great movie and i say to anyone that does not like it then they need to go back into the hole they crawled out of as they respect nothing about a well done movie and clearly like the modern trash instead

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

They didn't say it was a bad movie, only that it didn't make much money.

[@Htx.lunatic]

But the actors still got paid and isn't that really all that matters?

[@CornPop2]

Pay me like that and I'd do the worst of things

[@sonablom]

I dont know man, Bob Hoskins got stabbed four times. Thats like paying me to be in David dobrik vid. No amount of money can buy you your eye back.

[@TheJamesLykins]

And that’s why you wouldn’t get any roles

[@sonablom]

@@TheJamesLykins but also I wouldn't get stabbed.

[@XinGraves13]

No. Getting paid is not the only thing that matters. Pride, respect, reputation, opportunities, satisfaction. Prestige. Money isn't everything. Money isn't enough.

[@dexterwestin3747]

Where is Christian Bale and the Machinist?

[@paulelroy6650]

why would that be on the list. its a well loved film.

[@dexterwestin3747]

Media ppl be so lazy u did all that for nothing it's hard work u do it just cause plus years later here remember u bc hey they really did their thing n carried that movie every industry loves their work horses

[@Robert-kd9vs]

Uhh...what?😂

[@David-dc3nk]

Christian Bale was terrific in "Vice", "The Big Short" and "The Machinist." IMO, lol nothing is wrong with method acting. When Christian Bale met Christopher Nolan for the first time to prepare for "Batman Begins", Nolan was so shocked at Bale's physique that Nolan almost knocked himself unconscious.

[@user-me5rl7wo5r]

Gotti movie is so bad it deserves to be studied 😂

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

John Cena still has a long way to go with acting.

[@noeldavid3184]

Maybe dramatically but there is no denying his comedic timing when in the right role.

[@DashonIs]

6:45 Technically, the Lone Ranger was based on Bass Reeves. So that's double-white-washing 😂 And Tonto means Stupid. To your point, ALL of it is disrespectful!

[@madmoney35]

Calling Depp's Lone Ranger whitewashing but Little Mermaids Ariel being black is a progressive move...

[@user-sb2og6jd6h]

Aeon Flux didn't do well at the box office because Charlize Theron wore too many cloths as Aeon Flux. The original Aeon Flux from the animated show ran around in a sling shot bikini all day, and the Aeon Flux world had a story line that was far more aesthetic than the mindless 80's style action/James Bond thing they tried in the movie. BTW, putting Johnny Depp as Tonto was disrespectful? "Whitewashing"? Putting your racist comments aside for a second didn't they do the same thing with Catwoman/Halle Barry, and just about every other movie they race swapped an African American for a Caucasian role?

[@dontworryillwait3689]

Saying something is "whitewashing" isn't racist you absolute crybaby. You'll never be the victims, stop trying 😂
