10 More Actors Who Visibly Hated These Movie Roles

9. Dennis Hopper - Super Mario Bros.

In a similar vein to Dungeons & Dragons, the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film took a beloved part of nerd culture and made everyone hate it.

Even the nerds.

You could honestly make a case for any of the cast members hating being involved in this dreadful affair, but the one we've singled out also played the main baddie of the piece.

Dennis Hopper appeared as King Koopa in this film. No, not Bowser. That would imply he was some sort of giant lizard creature with a shell on his back. Instead, the villain of this Mario movie... was a man.

Yeah, he looked a bit like a dinosaur, but he was ostensibly still just a regular bloke.

Jack Black has a very low bar, let's just keep it at that.

Hopper treated this ridiculous character with all the care it deserved, aka none. He looked utterly miserable whilst playing the part, which was an accurate reflection of anyone who rented this movie thinking it would be anything like the games.

The star has admitted that he only did Super Mario Bros. for the money, but whatever they paid him wasn't enough.
