Randy Savage as Bone Saw McGraw

While the wrestler Spider-Man squashed in the comic books was called Crusher Hogan, filmmaker Sam Raimi feared copyright issues and comparisons to Hulk Hogan.

Instead, he went to longtime Hogan rival and wrestling icon, Randy Savage. Savage portrayed the ruthless Bone Saw McGraw (c'mon, that's a GREAT wrestling name!) in the first Toby McGuire Spider-Man movie.

Though a small role, it's a critical scene as it establishes two important things; Spider-Man is more than a match for even a peak physical specimen of humanity, and Peter's greed and inaction lead to his Uncle's death.

Randy Savage brought his usual aplomb to the role, and his appearance is one of the few bright points in an otherwise dreary movie. Savage has also voiced numerous cartoon voice-over roles, like Rass Lor in Dexter's Laboratory.
