5. Milla Jovovich as a psychiatrist in The Fourth Kind

Called the "reigning queen of kick-butt," Milla Jovovich earned fame almost exclusively for blasting zombies in ridiculously short skirts and midriff-baring tops. Now that her husband Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil series is on fumes, she plays a psychiatrist who unravels a mystery that's stumped the FBI for 40 years in The Fourth Kind. Uh-huh.

4. Michael J. Fox as a soldier in Casualties of War

The same year Michael J. Fox stopped playing preppy super-conservative Alex P. Keaton in the sitcom Family Ties, he played a Vietnam grunt dealing with his platoon's rape of a Vietnamese girl in Casualties of War. This is the equivalent of George Will playing George Patton. Any remaining credibility in the role was quickly snuffed out the first time he shared a scene (or poster, for that matter) with Sean Penn.

3. Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson in Spiderman (all of them)

Call us sticklers for the truth, but in the comic Mary Jane Watson is a curvaceous, red-headed knockout. Kirsten Dunst has red hair. Sometimes. After a long holdout, earlier this fall she was officially confirmed to return for Spider-Man 4. Bummer.

2. Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith

This guy turns into the supreme commander of the Galactic Empire?! For anyone to rise to that level of authority and leadership — even in Emperor Palpatine's heavily hierarchical and undemocratic structure — it would take presence and charisma, things Hayden Christensen has less of than a cardboard cutout. Where exactly is the Attack or Revenge?

1. Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough

Hot women are as much a part of Bond pics as cool cars, explosions, and Q's gadgetry. But Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough? That's probably the Least Believable Role in Movie History. Anyone who watched her reality show It's Complicated on E! knows that she couldn't tell you Einstein's formula for mass-energy equivalence (E=mc²) if someone spotted her the E, m, and c.
