10 Actors Who Clearly Didn't Learn Anything From Past Mistakes

2. Harrison Ford

There's something profoundly sad about watching an old codger jump back into the saddle that was hung up decades ago. Such was the case with the The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull; a film that essentially neutered everyone's favourite archeologist. This travesty turned one of the screen's most badass characters into something utterly embarrassing: like an old man who attempts to help out with his grandson's baseball practice and fails miserably. Most of the blame for the limp noodle adventure that is The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull does not belong to Ford however, but to the two chuckleheads who sat behind the camera: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. One only has to watch a few minutes of the film's hilarious behind the scenes footage to recognize that the vim and vinegar that fuelled Spielberg's kinetic (and surprisingly brutal) 80s action films has completely dissipated. There's not much left of the wonderkid who exploded Nazi's heads with gleeful, macabre abandon, or heavily suggested that Indy was actually a statutory rapist. No, instead of giving us one more ride with the screen's ultimate action hero Lucas and Spielberg served up an emasculated puff piece (which should just be called The Lucas Special at this point). With such dubious (and perhaps even alarming) individuals at the helm of your film, why would you ever choose to continue working with them? That is the central question orbiting around Ford's jaw dropping decision to make yet another Indy film, and perhaps to a slightly lesser degree, his commitment to Star Wars Episode 7. Similar to Bruce Willis and his Die Hard series, Ford seems eager to not only make another final boat load of cash, but to have us all on our knees - weeping and praying for deliverance from another round with a geriatric hero. It seems vindictive; hateful really. It also suggests that its not that Ford hasn't learned from his recent mistake, but that he doesn't care to learn.
