Worst Re-Casting Imagineable

Kirk-TJ Hooker
Spock-Paris
McCoy-Elgin Clark
Scotty-Commander Carnavin
Sulu-Captain Nim
Uhura-Dorinda
Chekov-Alfred Bester
 
I'm pleasantly surprised that we haven't yet had some wise guy chime in and list the current movie cast. Could it be that even the 2009 film's detractors agree that it did a good job with the casting? (And am I tempting fate by bringing this up?)

"Good job with the casting..."
 
I did a parody ad for the upcoming ST VI during one of my stints in broadcast training.

Sam Kinison was Kirk ("...to boldly party where no real man has partied before! OH! OOHHHHH!!")

Gilbert Godfried was Spock, Richard Lewis was McCoy, Bobcat Goldthwaite was Scotty, and Andrew "Dice" Clay was the evil Klingon commander ("Lt. Uhura? I #%&$ed her!") I was basically going with any comedian I could do a halfway decent impression of.

I need to dig that up and post it somewhere...
 
KIRK: George Clooney
SPOCK: Brad Pitt
McCOY: Carl Reiner
CHEKOV: Matt Damon
SULU: Shaobo Qin
SCOTTY: Elliott Gould
UHURA: Andy Garcia
 
^Hmm, that's not a bad idea there, I'm no Clooney fan but I could see him playing a new Cochrane rather well.
 
Clooney would have been perfect for Cochrane in FC. Much better than Cromwell, and I don’t mean that as a slight to Cromwell.
 
Joe Pesci as Tharn:

KIRK Prime posing as Mirror Kirk: You have twelve hours to consider your position.

THARN [on viewscreen]: Twelve years, Captain Kirk, or twelve thousand. Get it through your f@#$%! head, you're not getting a single muthaf#$%*! crystal; except maybe for the one I gave your mother last night (heh-heh). Hey, nice go-go boots! Maybe if you swung around a f@#$% pole for a couple of minutes, I'll slip a dilithium crystal down your g-string, you f@#$% pansy!

KIRK Prime posing as Mirror Kirk: Screw it! Sulu, let 'er rip!
