Barber-ella Sci-Fi Hair Cuts You Wouldnt Want 8

None

It’s all very well taking the mick out of SF haircuts that are supposed to be bizarre, but there have also been plenty of occasions when barnets that were supposed to be just everyday and unnoteworthy took on a strange life of their own, including this mop-ley bunch:

FAVRE
From: Total Recall 2070 (1999)
Played by: Karl Pruner

He’s an android, so presumably he doesn’t have a mum, which is strange considering he's got the kind of haircut that looks like it could only have been cut by his mum.

TOM GREER
From: Surrogates (2009)
Played by: Bruce Willis

Apparently, this is the image older Tom Greer wants to project with his surrogate – younger, hairier, blonder, and not unlike Lieutenant Gruber from ’Allo ’Allo. The effete Nazi youth vibe just doesn’t do it for us.

PAVEL CHEKOV
From: Star Trek (1966-9)
Played by: Walter Koenig

When Chekov was added to original Trek in the hope of appealing to a younger (female) audience, the producers were thinking of Davy Jones of the Monkees mop top look look. So they gave Koenig a wig to wear until his own hair grew long enough. Sadly, the wig looked like a highly-lacquered Tribble, balanced on his head, waiting to leap. Koenig has even admitted he mistakenly wore the thing back to front on occasions.

JOHNNY BLAZE
From: Ghost Rider (2007)
Played by: Nicolas Cage

Poor old Nicolas Cage. We’re sure he'd love to go gracefully bald but producers don’t seem willing to let him, and film after film he’s had to put up with some really bad hair days. As Johnny Blaze he looks like he‘s dipped his head in a vat of tar. And talking of Cage…

Go to the next bad hair day
