King Kamala Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 What do you all think was the best cameo done by a famous actor/actress before they were a star? My personal favorite is 2Pac Shakur appearing with Digital Underground in Nothing But Trouble. Some may say it's a terrible movie and rightfully so, but I have a soft spot for that scene in the movie. I also like Leonardo DiCaprio's appearence in Critters 3, to see such a great actor in such a terrible movie warms my soul like a bowl of Campbell's chicken noodle soup.
Nighthawk Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I think I liked Critters 3... but I can't tell them apart anymore. Anyway, I'd say Jeff Goldblum in Death Wish. Death Wish is my one of my favorite vigilante movies (beats the shit outta Walking Tall anyway), and Jeff Goldblum is pretty cool too, so him being in there is like "Hey, look at that!" Like the peanut butter and chocolate factor.
OldSchoolWrestling Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Courtney Cox in the Bruce Springsteen video were he pulls her out of the crowd to dance on stage. I remember when she went on to Family Ties and everyone was like "The chick from the Springsteen video is gonna join Family Ties"
WrestlingDeacon Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 William H. Macy in "Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon" for all of 5 seconds as a t.v. producer. If you look real hard you can see Bruce Willis sitting way in the back in several court room scenes in "The Verdict." Kevin Costner as a frat boy picking up hookers in "Night Shift," (which I have on DVD) I love seeing Jack Nicholson popping up in old Roger Corman flicks, especially if he's opposite Boris Karloff. Harrison Ford as a bell hop in "Dead Heat on a Merry Go-Round" with Lee Marvin. John Travolta as an eyeless discpile of goat headed Ernest Borgnine in "The Devil's Reign." Tom Hanks as a random dork in "He Knows Your Alone" and in Happy Days karate kicking Fonzie through a window.
King Kamala Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 Tom Hanks as a random dork in "He Knows Your Alone" and in Happy Days karate kicking Fonzie through a window. Aww that Happy Days episode was great, even though I believe it was one of the uber-shitty latter day episodes.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 Adam Sandler was in 4 eps of the Cosby Show in 87/88. I know because 2 of them have aired this week before Futurama/Family Guy on TBS..
Nighthawk Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 I think it might have even been more than 4, I remember seeing Sandler on there quite a bit.
King Kamala Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Posted August 8, 2003 I liked Adam Sandler's brief cameo in Coneheads as a mobster. What the hell kind of mobster could Adam Sandler be? A Jewish mobster. (Although it isn't neccessarily before they were stars)

Ripper Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 *looks around* "You just take those banana's."
Zack Malibu Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 LOL. You know, if TSM were EWR, Ripper would just continue gaining overness with every segment he's in.
OldSchoolWrestling Posted August 8, 2003 Report Posted August 8, 2003 You're not going to fall for any banana in the tailpipe? You been hangin' out with this guy too long. It should be more natural brotha, it's gotta flow. Like, 'I ain't gon fall for no banana in mah tailpipe'.

Guest Lethargic Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Jim Carey acting singing Welcome to the Jungle in the Dead Pool. He looks so damn gay. More than usual.

WrestlingDeacon Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Laurence Fishburne actually has a sizable rule in Apocalypse Now and he looks so young and skinny. I did mark out the first time I realized that was him in Dream Warriors though.
Lil' Bitch Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Wesley Snipes as an ambulance driver in Critical Condition starring Richard Pryor. He only has one or two lines in the movie and you can barely see his face.
Guest Lethargic Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Sam Rockwell as the mean big brother in Clownhouse. He's about 13 or so and all he does is go around say "I'm gonna bust your face!"
edotherocket Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Amber Benson (Tara from Buffy) appearing in Can't Hardly Wait for all of 2 seconds staring at a banana.
WrestlingDeacon Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Kurt Russell as a punk kid kicking Elvis in the shin in "It Happened at the World's Fair." Oddly, Russell would go on to play Elvis in a high acclaimed t.v. movie.
The Dames Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Amber Benson (Tara from Buffy) appearing in Can't Hardly Wait for all of 2 seconds staring at a banana. She actually had a number of scenes cut out of the movie because she was supposed to be playing someone on hallucinogens. On the back on the DVD, there's a shot of a scene between her and Seth Green (Kenny Fisher) that never appears in the film. Dames
Guest Dmann2000 Posted August 9, 2003 Report Posted August 9, 2003 Sam Rockwell as the mean big brother in Clownhouse. He's about 13 or so and all he does is go around say "I'm gonna bust your face!" Sam was also in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, he played one of the youths recruited by Shredder.
NoCalMike Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 Patricia Arquette NOES 3. Kevin Bacon F13th
Lil' Bitch Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 Kurt Russell as a punk kid kicking Elvis in the shin in "It Happened at the World's Fair." Oddly, Russell would go on to play Elvis in a high acclaimed t.v. movie. Russell also would go on to play an evil Elvis impersonator in a highly acclaimed film that would turn out to be a bomb.
DerangedHermit Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 I love Kevin Bacon in Animal House
