12 More Truly Terrible Extras Who Ruined Their Scenes

12. Not Quite Kicked In The Chops - Return Of The Jedi

There are lots of things wrong with the Sarlacc Pit fight sequence in Return Of The Jedi - and most criticism is levelled at the cheap way Boba Fett is killed off, quite rightly.

But if you dig a little deeper you'll notice several other distracting problems. For some reason Harrison Ford repeats his "Boba Fett?!" line and Mark Hamill standing stock still to get tied up is pretty poor too, but the most ruinous comes courtesy of some seriously ropey fight choreography.

As Luke kicks ass, he comes face to face with an agent of evil wielding a blaster, who he despatches with a swift kick to the chops. Or at least that was clearly the plan... The problem is, he misses comically.

See, nothing but fresh-air...

At least the Extra committed to the bit, chucking his gun in the air and diving needlessly to his death. If anything, it's Hamill who was really at fault.
