1. Jason Statham
If you were to ask me for the worst possible choice to play Snake Plissken (and why wouldn't you?) I don't think I could name a worse pick than Jason Statham. He is as boring, one note, one dimensional and pseudo tough as you can get. If you can look past the fact that Plissken is American and Statham's British accent is very pronounced (has he ever tried another accent in any role?) his laughably over-the-top machismo hits you over the head like an ACME anvil on a cartoon coyote. He has proven time and again that he can only play one role well - himself. Even then his work is box office poison as the majority of his starring roles have helped those films debut to less than $10 million on opening weekend. Casting Statham as Snake Plissken would be as goofy and confusing as Sean Connery playing a flamboyant Spaniard. (Cue the lifelong Highlander fans calling for my head.)
