20 Worst Movie Performances Of The Decade
15. Ken Jeong As Leslie Chow - The Hangover Trilogy
If there were awards for 'Most Annoying Performance', Ken Jeong's awful role in The Hangover Trilogy as flamboyant Chinese gangster Leslie Chow would make such a category a one-horse race.
Across the three films, unfortunately for all of us, Jeong's part became bigger with each installment but his performance never improved. With his one-note, enormously unfunny comedic mannerisms and excruciatingly annoying voice, Leslie Chow was a character that was more painful to watch than funny.
Additionally, Leslie Chow is arguably an incredibly racist comedic creation and his exaggerated Asian accent was pretty offensive. Sure, audiences are sometimes too quick to accuse films of sexism, racism etc. but in this case the many complaints were fully justified.
He was easily the worst thing in the original film and was also a major blight upon both the hideous second film and the OK and unfairly panned but forgettable third film. Make no mistake, this was one performance that was completely mishandled on every level.
