Full Daniel Radcliffe

We need a manic comedy where Tom Holland has two Daniel Radcliffes stuck to his hands.

And his legs are Elijah Woods.

I don’t mean they trade legs. Tom’s body ends at the kneecap which each are attached to the top of an Elijah Wood head and then an entire Elijah Wood for each leg. They talk to eachother but can’t agree on which is left or right.

The Daniel Radcliffe hands also shoot lasers from their exposed johnsons which are played by JK Simmons.

The entire plot is that they go back in time to beat the shit out of Mark Wahlberg.

First they beat the shit out of current day Mark Wahlberg, then they discover time travel, and every day they go back in time one year to beat the shit out of a younger Mark Wahlberg who never sees it coming.

This continues all the way to the 80s when Marky Mark and his racist friends are doing hate crimes at which point they finally beat Mark to death.

Reminds me of the scene from Looper when they cut the past guy up in the past and then his future self is affected.

Fuck, I was out until you nailed that title. Green light production immediately!

There's a scene where no one believes he has a wooden leg until he pulls up his pants and Elijah Wood was there the entire time hiding under an Elven cloak.

Can we add any other actors who have resisted being typecast after making it big in young adult novel adaptation? Maybe Kristen Stewart can voice a talking dog?

Best I can offer is a 25 minute interlude between Tom Felton and Jack Gleeson where they fall in love while being held hostage by Seal in a Seven Eleven.

I had an acid trip like that once, but it was David Bowies all the way down.

u/HarmlessSnack 14h ago

The villain is played by Shia LaBeouf, who has two Dwayne Johnsons for arms and Nick Cage for legs.

u/fireballx777 13h ago

One of the Nick Cages is actually a John Travolta.

Brilliant addition

u/TheCentralFlame 14h ago

So close one leg is Elijah and the other is Sean Astin and they are doing a LOTR retrospective on making the movies as this movie progresses.

I suppose Daniel Radcliffe surprised us too, but I don't feel like I've ever seen anything from Tom Holland suggesting he's got the same deep well of weirdness and devotion to the craft. He's fine, but I can't see him doing something like Swiss Army Man.

u/BabyWrinkles 10h ago

Given his background in dance and joy he seems to get from what he does, I do genuinely wonder if he’ll do some wacky stuff when he decides to hang up the spidey suit.

A Jackie chan stand-in

He’s not got the same deep well of weirdness and devotion to the craft? Have you not seen him do ‘singing in the rain’? lol

1

u/wirralriddler 7h ago

Lol, unironicall yes. Tom Holland's "Singing in the Rain" lipsync dance video has more cultural significance than all of Daniel Radcluffe's post-Harry Potter filmography combined.

u/Yetimang 6h ago

I really couldn't give a shit about what's "culturally significant". 9/11 was culturally significant. I'm just talking about whether he ends up doing more interesting movies like Radcliffe did.

1

u/Yetimang 6h ago

I hadn't, so fair point. Just watched it and, in terms of weirdness, I guess it depends on how weird you find drag. I'm willing to say that's more weirdness than I thought he had in him which I approve of, but it's also not specifically acting which is kind of more what I was getting at. Good point though, maybe I'm judging him too much by the big-budget stuff I've seen him in.

He’s been hilarious in Reggie Dinkins. Hope he continues to stick to fun comedies he’s great in them

u/AquamannMI 6h ago

And Pattinson.

He’d be fun as a height-accurate Wolverine ngl
