9 Insane Characters You Won't Believe Almost Ended Up In Famous Movies

To the people who vetoed these frankly unbelievable creations: thank you.

It's not exactly a secret that terrible ideas get thrown around in Hollywood all the time - in fact, we know that they do, because so many of them end up becoming fully-fledged motion pictures. Still, no matter how much we like to make fun, Hollywood is a place of great creativity, and is filled with wonderful, talented people with vast imaginations. That's how we've been treated to some of the greatest movies of all time, of course; movies filled with brilliant, memorable characters. Because what is a movie without its characters, really? And not just the main characters, but the secondary characters, too. All these fictional people come together to provide us with a gateway into another world. Characters like Indiana Jones, Col. Hans Landa, John McClane and Rick Blaine. Sometimes, though, we might take it for granted that some movies were originally supposed to feature characters that were eventually cut because they were... well, totally insane. Join us as we take a tour through 9 really, really weird characters who nearly ended up in some of cinema's best and most beloved movies - some of them were cut from the final version, whereas some of them were just drafted on paper or proposed conceptually. Still, including any of the creations featured here might just well have ruined all these movies. We can only thank God that somebody had the sense to abandon these preposterous creations before it was too late...
