5. King Lear Schwarzenegger - The Lost World: Jurassic Park
What's the least likely combination in the history of the world? That's right: Arnold Schwarzenegger and plays written by William Shakespeare, which is the exact pairing that finds itself as the sum of a brief in-joke visible in Steven Spielberg's
The Lost World: Jurassic Park. During the sequence where the T-Rex escapes on the mainland and goes around eating dogs and confusing the public, we're treated to a perspective of the mayhem from inside a video rental store. And there you have it:
King Lear, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd be pay a great amount of money to listen to Arnold Schwarzenegger reading Shakespeare. Okay, not a
great amount of money, but some money, at least. Like, spare change or something. The eagle-eyed amongst you will also notice that there's another poster adjacent to this one, which also contains another fictional (but far more believable) blockbuster flick:
Jack and the Beanstalk, starring who else but Robin Williams, presumably riffing on his role as the star of Francis Ford Coppola's
Jack and Spielberg's own
Hook.
