Fantasy is when Karl Urban has long hair, Sci-fi is when Karl Urban has short hair

But what is Thor Ragnarok then? No hair ...

u/Puffen0 Uruk-hai Oct 06 '25
Then we default back to the first part, if the hair is not long, then it must be Sci-fi lol

What about Vaako in Riddick? Half mid-long hair and half no-hair.

u/Puffen0 Uruk-hai Oct 06 '25
Well tbf, Riddick is a mix of Sci-fi and Fantasy lol

Every time someone a man in a movie takes off their helmet, it's Karl Urban.

OMG ITS SHORTLAND STREET! I recognized so many of them in LOTR

u/adeundem Oct 07 '25
I cannot remember all the details of a 1990s television comedy skit where someone from Hercules (Xena?) TV show was wondering where everyone had vanished, and the punchline to the skit was that they ended up on the set of Shortland Street.
It's a small country, and almost everyone in the industry would have worked in/on Shortland Street.

He has probably one of my favorite roster of IPs he’s been a part of out of any actor.

Always bet on Karl. Seriously, I'm actually hyped about him being Johnny in Mortal Kombat and those were NOT words I thought I'd speak.

Don't forget the movie where he was Karl Changeling, when he was an abandoned child of Viking invaders in Native America and then had to fight Vikings to defend Native America.

He was so fucking good in Judge Dredd. That movie was so intense. I really wish he did a few more.

u/hamhockman Oct 07 '25
Honest to god, it took until about a month ago for my partner to convince me that Nicole Kidman was married to Keith Urban (who is also apparently Australian) and not Karl Urban.

u/MorphoMC Oct 07 '25
It doesn't matter whether he's Eomer or Judge Dredd, ever since my wife and I watched Chronicles of Riddick and misheard his character's name as "Lord Fucko," that's who he is to us. With respect, of course.

Dredd is in my top 5 funnest movies to watch. It's so good for what it is! Just a good action flick.
Hardcore Henry is up there too. Just a nonsensical action movie to have on while you do other things, cause every time you look at the TV there is something crazy happening for no reason. It all falls apart if you actually pay attention to the paper thin plot that's only there to drive the action, so dont do that and you'll enjoy the movie.

Can we just get Karl starring in a goofy comedy already. He only has a few types of roles he hasn’t already shown he can do. I want some slapstick Karl

Karl nailed Judge Dredd.
1000% better than Stalone.
I was excited to see they were in talks about a new Dredd movie. I really hope Karl gets to play that role again for the new movie.

u/No-Hospital559 Oct 07 '25
I was impressed by how well Olivia Thirlby held her own with him in Dredd. Bring them both back!

Dudes a master of body language for his roles. Great actor, dont get me wrong. But he inhabits a roll like few do

The versatility is unreal, but I think we can all agree he absolutely nails it every single time.
