30 Worst Movie Extras
Bad & inadvertently brilliant backgro☂und stars
Ghostbusters
Extra Fail: As the Ghostbusters arrive to save the 🍰day, one foppish, red-haired extra gets too excited, yelling “Ghostbusters! Alright! Alright!” (at 1.34 in the clip), to the annoyance of everyone.
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Man: Too distracting, too enthusiastic, too MUCH. And he nea𒀰rly tramples all over the end of Bill Murray's line. Hey Red, just tone it down.
10 Things I Hate About You
Extra Fail: When the coach is accidentally shot with an arrow (at 7.30 in the clip), one girl is sent to get medical help… but aft🧸er running for a short while, she just stops and turns around, assuming she is out of shot.
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Lady: Not committed to the role. You have to giveꩵ 110% in this business and she's givinꦰg 15-16% tops.
Star Trek Generations
Extra Fail: When the Enterprise defeats the Klingon bird of prey, a newly emoted Data punches the air in triumph, which wo𝔉uld have had more of an impact if the extra behind him didn’t do the same thing a split-second before.
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Man: Constantly tries to steal the scene and undermine his ♉fellow co-stars. Actually, he'd probably do quite well in Hollywood.
Braveheart
Extra Fail: Following the film’s epic bloody battle, two opposing 𓄧fighters can be seen in the background just half-heartedly clanging swords together before giving up.

Why They'll Never Make A Leading Men: These guys can't do anything unless specifically choreographed for them. They probably appear as extras in other films, just lazily walking down the street before gꦰiving up and stopping.
Jaws #2
Extra Fail: A whaaaaat?
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Man: Unless he was voicing a lovable cartoon animal, he'd pro🅠bably have to be dubbed in every scene.
Enter The Dragon
Extra Fail: As Bruce Lee delivers a formidable🌞 triple kick to his opponent's face (at 2.20 in this clip), one of the extras inexplicably bursts into laughter.
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Man: Inappropriate sense of humour. Casting him in a horror film would ꦉbe a disaster.
North By Northwest
Extra Fail: Knowing what’s coming next, 🍨this kid plugs his fingers in his ears in preparation of the ‘surprise’ 🅰gunshot.
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Man : Sensitive hearing. If he didn't like the lou🤡d gunshot, let's hope this kid never worked on a Michael Bay film.
Star Wars
Extra Fail: The most famous extra – nay, the most famous GOOF – in mov🔯ie history. Isn’t this guy a little tall for a stormtrooper?
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Man: Too clumsy. It would be like working wit𝐆h Frank Spencer.
Teen Wolf
Extra Fail: Often mistaken to be a male extra flashing his genitalia, the widescreen version revealed the extra to actually be a woman. Which still doesn’t make tꦇhis behaviour acceptable.
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Lady: If she thinks it's ok to be on camera with her jeans undone to this extent, she's♎ going to have a lot of clashes with the wardrobe department. Imagine if she ever worked on a costume drama. It's unthinkable.
Back to the Future III
Extra Fail: Doc Brown&rsquoꦉ;s kid Verne bec🌺kons YOU the audience to come closer and inspect his groin in the creepiest way possible.
Why They'll Never Make A Leading Man: Apparently this kid was signalling that he needed the loo,🐼 but really he should h꧂ave gone before filming started. There's no time in this business for weak bladders.
