10 Hilariously Obvious Stunt Doubles Who Ruined Their Scenes

1. Star Trek: The Original Series

In the years since Star Trek: The Original Series was unceremoniously cancelled, some aspects of the show have become running jokes, like Kirk's unfeasible ability to woo every alien in the galaxy,as long as they looked like a human covered in poster paint, or his hilariously badly choreographed fight scenes.

Countless doubles appear to have been used, and not one could claim to even remotely resemble their intended subject, which is why the image above, puporting to show James Kirk in battle, actually looks like a young Colm Meaney, in entirely the wrong Star Trek series.
