Who Is That Masked Man?
I'm shamelessly copying an idea my friend Jenn had on her blog, but I thought it was a fun idea, and bored as a get during planning commission meetings, I put together a list of some of my favorite cameos from the movies. I.E., if someone famous/funny/weird just happens to pop up in a film for the hell of it, or if they just have a small part that could have been played by a no-name for a lot less money, they made the cut. These appearances aren't in any particular order, just how they popped into my head. Feel free to critique or copy.
1. Kid Rock as Robby in 'Joe Dirt': "You alright Dirt?" "Yeah man, I'm cool." "No you're not."
2. Steven Seagal as Lt. Colonel Austin Travis in 'Executive Decision': He's in it for like 10 seconds before he gets sucked out of an airplane to his doom. Die, Steven Seagal!
3. Billy Connolly as Uncle Monty in 'Lemony Snickets': Any time Il Duce shows up in a movie, it automatically becomes better. Just look at Last Samurai.
3. John C. Reilly and Liam Neeson in 'Gangs of New York': Pretty much every role in this film is a sweet cameo. But these two were exceptionally sweet.
4. B.B. King as Malvern Gasperon in 'Blues Brothers 2000': Another movie with an ass-ton of cameos. "Blues Brothers band. Hmph." "Bunch a wannabe players." "How good can a mess like that sound anyway?" "Hey man, don't worry - we gonna smoke these turkeys."
5. Brad Dourif as Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings: The voice of Chucky. 'Nuff said.
6. Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Brandt in 'The Big Lebowski': "This is our concern, Dude."
7. Gary Busey as the state trooper in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas': "Can I just get a little kiss? I get so lonely out here."
8. Stellan Skarsgård as Cerdic in 'King Arthur': "Kill them all; kill everybody."
9. Rade Serbedzija as the homeless guy in 'Batman Begins': "That's a nice coat."
10. Brendan Gleeson as Reynald in 'Kingdom of Heaven': The most magnificent beard...ever. "I am what I am. Someone has to be."
11. Dennis Hopper as Kaufman in 'Land of the Dead': "Zombies, man. They creep me out."
12. Randy Quaid as Joe Aguirre in 'Brokeback Mountain': "You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there. Twist, you guys wasn't gettin' paid to leave the dogs babysittin' the sheep while you stem the rose."
13. Ronny James Dio as Ronny James Dio in 'Pick of Destiny': He should have rode in on a chariot spitting flames that set Sasquatches on fire. That's how cool Dio is.
14. Mark Hamill as Cock-knocker in 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back': Sorry, I still am too much of a Star Wars geek not to add him onto this list. Even if he is fighting Jason Mewes with a laser-dildo. "You killed captain clown."
15. Christopher Lee as Mr. Wonka in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory': Man, they're putting him in everything these days. Must be trying to get their money's worth before he croaks.
16. Cloris Leachman as Great Gam Gam in 'Beerfest': "You and I are not so different Mr. Badrinath. I've had all kinds of things shoved up my ass. But I got over it!"
17. Alanis Morissette as God in 'Dogma': Because George Burns never did a hand stand.
18. Sonny Chiba as Hattori Hanzo in 'Kill Bill': Who better to give the bride her sword? "For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat."
19. Henry Winkler as Henry Winkler in 'Little Nicky': Covered in bees!
20. Bill Nighy as Phillip in 'Shaun of the Dead': "Mum, he chased me around the garden with a bit of wood!"
21. Kathy Bates as Roberta Hertzel in 'About Schmidt': You know why. That image will never get out of my head.
22. Andy Serkis as Lumpy in 'King Kong': Not only was he the ape, he was also the ship's cook. And he gets his face bitten off by a giant, uncircumcised penis!
23. Vinny Jones as the Juggernaut in 'X-Men 3': Once again, 'nuff said. Bitch.
24. Hunter Thompson as Hunter Thompson in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas': "There I was... mother of God, there I am!"
25. And finally... Christopher Walken in ANY MOVIE HE'S EVER BEEN IN. There are too many quotes to reference. Instead, I will leave you with an image that says everything.
