Mine is Brad Pitt as the Stoner flat mate in True Romance. Pure genius.

David Bowie in either Zoolander and the Prestige were great (i like David Bowie!) or Martin Sheen in Hot Shots Part Deux

Kevin Spacey in Seven.
Having just seen The Usual Suspects weeks before I went to see this leaving Spacey out of the opening credits was genius especially at the time.

Bruce Willis in Loaded Weapon.

Not really a cameo, as he was a central charecter, but agree that keeping his name out of the credits was a great idea!

He was in a scene with Commissioner Gordon and he had 1 line, cant recall exactly in the film.

Rex Manning · 18-04-2009 11:00am

Elvis Costello in 200 Cigarettes was pretty good

There's a load of Irish actors in that film for some reason. I shot a short film with one of the guys who played an inmate in the asylum. Probably as close as I'll ever get to hollywood.

I loved Chuck Norris and David Hasslehoff in Dodgeball.

Tim Booth, from the band James, as Zsasz in Batman Begins. I'm still hoping he makes a full appearance in an upcoming film, since that character is a real psycho... :eek:

Peter Jackson has made cameos in all his films, I believe: usually suffering a gruesome fate. In Return Of The King he was on screen for a few seconds before getting impaled.

My all-time favourite for cameos, though, has to be The Blues Brothers. You might not recognise this guy if his name wasn't on the video clip:

Hunter S Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, was pretty cool.

Galvasean · 18-04-2009 9:38pm

John Travolta in Goldmember

Scorsese as the hitman in mean streets also.

Overblood · 18-04-2009 10:12pm

Can't think of my afve, but one that springs to mind is Takashi Miike as, get this, "himself" in Hostel.

Jay and Silent Bob is full of great cameos too.

have it agree , i thought he was brilliant in it

ziedth · 21-04-2009 9:42am

I have to say Chuck Norris and Lance Armstrong in dodgeball really made me laugh particularly the latter for it being so Random.

Mention must go to Michael Sheen in Hot Shorts: Part Duex "I loved you in wall street" Loved that line.

Oh and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for Jay and Silent Bob. That whole scene gave the movie an extra star IMO

The second i read the title of this thread Brad Pitt in True Romance came into my head before I read that's who you picked op. I thought he was sooo funny:D.
