10 Movie Recasts That Totally Trolled Fans

10. George (George Of The Jungle 2)

If you were a kid in the late 90s, then you probably loved Disney's George of the Jungle. To be fair, who doesn't love Brendan Fraser? Since it found success, Disney decided to churn out a direct-to-video sequel, and thus, George of the Jungle 2 was born.

The first movie dipped its toes into shattering the fourth wall, with the narrator often interacting with the characters, so the second instalment kept that going. This sequel opened with the omniscient narrator setting the scene, but things got confusing once George appeared, and there was no sight of Fraser. Who the heck was this?

Well, the new George answered that question by walking right up to the camera and saying, "Me new George. Studio too cheap to pay Brendan Fraser". Oh wow, now that's some brutal honesty there. The narrator then asked, "how did you get the part?" to which the newly cast Christopher Showerman said, "new George just lucky, I guess".

It's safe to say that Showerman did not match the loveable charm of Fraser, and this movie was the same quality you would expect from a cheap straight-to-video Disney sequel. Still, looking right into the eyes of the audience and poking fun at people expecting to see their favourite 90s star was a pretty hilarious way to open.
