5. Vinnie Jones As Juggernaut (The Last Stand)
As if Brett Ratner's appointment as Bryan Singer's replacement for The Last Stand wasn't dubious enough, plenty of eyebrows were raised when Vinnie Jones was cast as comic book fan favourite Juggernaut. Juggy's big scene in the movie is an impressively-crafted chase sequence as he pursues Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), yet it's interrupted by one gloriously, facepalm-inducingly corny moment as Jones quips, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, b****!" It's a reference to a 2005 parody video of X-Men: The Animated Series, in which Juggernaut is re-dubbed to say the above quote, and Ratner apparently couldn't resist throwing the quote in for a laugh. Sadly, it's more distracting than funny, a cringe-inducingly tone-deaf reminder of why Ratner was a poor choice to direct X-Men 3, while Jones spends his entire time on screen sticking out like a sore thumb. Rather than disappearing into the role, he just looks like Vinnie Jones playing dress up the whole time.
