The Amazing Rando

Favorite Cameo In A Film

Recommended Posts

Yes, it's an odd topic - but i feel there are some fun little cameos that are just surprising, funny, or whatever and that can make you remember one character's two minutes stand out just because of the unexpected nature of it all.

 

A few of my favorites are:

 

Jerry Lewis & Jack Benny - It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

 

Jay & Silent Bob - Scream 3 (it makes a case for the Scream trilogy being a part of the Askewniverse. how messed up is that)

 

Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck - A Goofy Movie (so sue me, i'm a Disney mark)

 

Bob Barker - Happy Gilmore

 

Earl Warren - JFK (if you can call that a cameo)

Weird Al - Naked Gun 33 1/3. Sure, he did nothing, but the guys funny damn it!

 

 

And I guess Jon Lovitz in Little Nicky as the peeping Tom who goes to hell and gets humped by a horny bird.

Wow, I never thought about that before. I think that has to be the biggest "verse" there is then.

 

Sarah Michelle Gellar - She's All That. Sorry Buffy mark. Plus they use the same high school in Buffy that they use in SAT.

 

Snoop Dogg - Half Baked. It coined the term "Snoopin it" whenever someone mooches of a person when they are smokin a joint.

 

Hulk Hogan - Gremlins 2. When I was a little kid, I marked the fuck out. Ten bucks says everyone else did to.

 

All I can think of right now.

Hogan cutting a promo on the Gremlins is fucking classic. Anyone know the exact lines? I rented the movie but it's edited out. Damn VHS version. (waits to see it on HBO or Cinemax)

Dan Marino - Ace Ventura

Dan got billed in the movie, so you can't call it a cameo. I think that Bob Barker got billed in Happy Gilmore as well. Still, Bob and Chris Macdonald made that movie enjoyable.

 

I loved The Muppet Movie for the sheer volume of cameos.

 

E.T. in The Phantom Menace. Nice of Lucas to tip his hat to Spielberg.

 

Dwight Schultz as Barclay in Star Trek: First Contact (the only good TNG movie)

 

Stan Lee in Marvel movies.

It's not a cameo if they actually have lines and stick around for a few.

 

A cameo is like Arnold in The Rundown, one line and a second on the screen. Although I think you can count Heston from Wayne's World 2 a cameo.

 

Kane Hodder had an out of Jason cameo in Jason goes to hell, which is kinda cool.

 

And I was a huge Pistons fan back in the day, I laughed my ass off at the Barkley & Laimbeer bit in Hot Shots.

The entire beginning of Goldmember.

 

I also loved seeing Daffy and Donald Duck going off at on another on the pianos in Roger Rabbit. As well ad Dumbo, and a bunch of other ones in that movie.

That was my first thought, too. (Bill Laimbeer jersey and rookie card here, although I like Barkley, too. By the way, did you ever read Barkley's book which went into detail about his fight with Bill in Detroit?)

 

My second thought was Arnold's in the "Rundown."

 

My third thought was the origial Hulk guy in the Hulk movie...

Actually, wasn't really a cameo. Terry was one of the main bouncers and pretty much was all over the first 30 minutes or so.

 

 

I pick Robert Stack in Baseketball. That had to be some of the funniest stuff ever.

LL Cool J at the start of Touch is a good cameo. He's being interviewed on a talkshow, gets angry with the presenter, swears and marches off. Pointless, but quite funny.

 

Bruce Springsteen in High Fidelity is great too. Really comes from nowhere, but what a great appearance

That's Lou Ferrigno, both he and Stan Lee are the security guards that are walking out at the beginning of the movie. I thought that was hilarious, because Lee is just jabbering away and Ferrigno is nodding his head like he's listening, but if you know anything about Ferrigno, you know he's mostly deaf.

 

Another nice touch was that Bruce Banner's father's name was David. For the T.V. show, the network had them change the name to David from Bruce because they though it was a 'gay' name. That was just a jab at Batman, they wanted it changed so as not to have the two characters confused. Lee then changed it in the comics that Bruce's real name was David Bruce Banner, after his father and he went by Bruce. So good continuity there.

Cannibal Corpse in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (band playing when Ace goes to the club to see his hippie buddy)

 

Molly Ringwald in Not Another Teen Movie is, by far, my favorite. Hilarious, bitches. HILARIOUS.

I'm fairly certain his full name in the comics has been ROBERT Bruce Banner and never David.
