It was revealed this week that Michael Jackson had once hoped to take on the role of Jar Jar Binks in 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,' which would have put the greatest pop star of all time on the cast list as one of the most reviled film characters of all time. Fortunately, it didn't happen: Jackson wanted to do the part in prosthetics, similar to the "Thriller" video, while creator George Lucas wanted to go with CGI for the character. Jackson may not have been a total failure on-camera—the aforementioned music video is still among the most influential, and best, in history-but that doesn't save him from a largely disastrous career in film. Jackson rarely graced Hollywood productions...but when he did, they tended to be awful. Check out these four films that featured the King of Pop. -
