Why was venon wells cast as a villian opposite arnie.
Arnie is a 6,2" former Mr universe champion body builder while wells has tits, a poofy walk, shall we say somewhat pantomine acting ability.
For some reason the formula works a charm! but what were they thinking?

Vernon Wells was not cast opposite Arnold, Arnold was cast opposite Vernon Wells.  |

Vernon Wells is brilliant as Bennett. If someone else played the chainmailed one, I don't think Bennett would've achieved cult status. |

No one could have played Bennett better. Wells was simply unequivocally perfect for the role. Frankly I can't imagine anyone else as Bennett.  |

Their are so many great things about this movie, but Bennett is what makes it so epic. Think about it, without Bennett would this site even exist? Would their ever have been a re-release? Bennett is one of the best villians ever. Sure he is fat and out of shape, but he is not scared of Matrix in the least bit. That is why I love him so much. He even taunts Matrix in the boileroom, knowing full well Matrix is going to try and kill him. He has NO fear of Matrix and even puts up a good fight against him. Any time you can find someone with that much confidence it is something not to be taken lightly.  |

Why they casted Vernon Wells? Because he fucking rocks! He's the last piece of the puzzle,that makes this movie so goddamn enjoyable. Every great action movie needs a memorable villain,and Bennett definitely is memorable ;D Regarding Vernon's acting ability,I would say that he did a good job as the homicidal gay sailor who lusts for Matrix. Just look at that intensity:  Sends shivers down on your spine,doesn't it? |

Vernon is awesome, he doesnt have to built like a brick shithouse to go against Arnie, hes smart, anyway he has an edge, he has his daughter.

While Bennett err.. Wells was the perfect cast... I could imagine Stalone or maybe Dolf in the Bennett role.
Dolf throwing away his gun and taking on Matrix might have been more realistic. No doubt he lacks Wells' shrieking skills.

The better question is why wouldn't they cast Vernon Wells?

How about a new photoshop thread, other actors as Bennett... Pacino.  and the only other man that could possibly have pulled it off...  |
