Movies In Which The Filmmakers Were Dumb Enough To Cast The Big "Name" Actor As The "Secret" Bad Guy, Thereby Telegraphing The Ending and Ruining The Suprise
Well, I think we'll have to start with the movie that started this all, which would be Jeff Daniels in "Blood Work." I could also add Walter Matthau in "Charade", which I mentioned on jgandcag's list. Although I wouldn't say the movie was ruined by that, because I still enjoyed it. And finally, I'll add Merv Griffin in "The Man With Two Brains." I could tell he was the killer from a mile away! :-)
Heh, to be honest, I was just kidding about "The Man With Two Brains." Merv Griffin didn't even appear in the movie before we find out that he is the killer, remember? It would be pretty hard to guess that.
