10 Crap Movies That Stupidly Cut Out Great Actors

5. The Quick And The Dead - Bruce Campbell

Bruce Campbell has become something of a good luck charm for Sam Raimi. Having directed Campbell in one trio of films, the Evil Dead trilogy, Raimi went and did it again with his Spider-Man trilogy, casting Campbell in the three respective movies as a wrestling ring announcer, a snooty usher, and a maitre d' with a French accent so mangled it sounds like he was taking inspiration from 'Allo 'Allo. To date, Campbell and Raimi have made eight films together; it would have been nine, had Raimi not decided to cut Campbell out of his western pastiche The Quick And The Dead. As he would go on to do in Raimi's Spider-Man films, Campbell was to make a cameo, this time as a guest in a wedding scene. Unlike the Spider-Man films, Raimi didn't keep the chinned wonder in the final cut. The Quick And The Dead arrived in cinemas Campbell-less, to shrugs from both audiences and critics. No one's definitively saying the lack of Bruce was the sole reason why the film bombed so hard and why movie journos generally weren't keen, but can you think of a better explanation?
