(I might have gone with Woody Strode for Thulsa, but Flynn is an interesting choice too.)

I'm not totally familiar with the actors of that era so I didn't even think about Woody Strode. After looking him up on Wikipedia, I like that suggestion.

I chose Flynn because of his history as a swashbuckling film star. His career and health were in decline in the 1950's, due mostly to his hard partying ways, but he was still making movies then. None of them very successful, but he was still at it.

Yeah, he died at the age of 50. His self-penned memoirs "My Wicked Wicked Ways" is a great read, what a crazy life.

I'm drawing a blank on the rest of the cast. I might edit this post later.
 
300 in the 1980s directed by John Milius -

Arnold Schwarzenegger as King Leonidas of Sparta

Sylvester Stallone as the Spartan Captain

Cherie Lunghi as Queen Gorgo

Nicholas Clay as Dilios

Val Kilmer as Stelios

Michael Praed as Astinos

Ben Kingsley as Xerxes

Alan Rickman as Theron

Mark Hamill buried under lots of makeup and using an early prototype Joker voice as Ephialtes the hunchbacked traitor

Patrick Stewart as the Loyalist

Ron Perlman as Daxos

Bill Duke as the Persian Messenger

Liam Neeson (before he was famous) as one of the 300 Spartans

Sven Ole Thorsen as the Giant Unleashed by Xerxes's Immortals



With Sean Connery, Michael Caine, and Richard Harris as the Spartan Elder Councilmen


And in the sequel... Timothy Dalton as Themistocles

I would have gone with Andre The Giant. Or maybe Wilt Chamberlain, or Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Someone abnormally tall and powerful looking. Of course for Andre that would mean the movie would have had to have been shot earlier in the 1980's. Maybe sometime between 1982 and 1985. It was after 1985 that Andre really began feeling the crippling effects of his giantism.

You've got things backwards. We're supposed to be casting modern movies (from the 1980's, 1990's, and 2000's) with actors from previous times (1970's, 1960's, 1950's, etc).

Your last few posts have been casting modern remakes of older movies. That's a completely different subject for an already existing completely different thread.

Another one I'm mad I didn't think of. I'd also suggest Tyler Mane for Rictus. Jones was still wrestling at the time, but Mane was getting into movies by then.
