Christopher Walken: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

3. The Country Bears - Reed Thimple

bears Now we venture into the unapologetically awful. Despite being based on the long-lasting Disney attraction, The Country Bear Jamboree, the film never found the same appeal proving a critical disaster and commercial flop. Walken stars as a ruthless banker who plots to destroy the the Country Bear Hall and ruin their show. In a dramatic twist it is revealed that Walken's character is actually a talented 'armpit farter' who lost his shot at fame because of the bears. Seeing Walken act alongside animatronic bears and make desperate fart noises is just a little degrading for everyone, let alone an acclaimed Oscar winner. That said, Robert De Niro did do Rocky and Bullwinkle, just as Al Pacino did Jack and Jill. Times for Oscar winners are hard these days. Maybe all is forgiven, Chris.
