There’s one film I have where most of the crew and director’s family have cameos, I wish I could remember which one[/quote]
I also can’t remember that one. Not the Royal Tannenbaums is it?[/quote]
I like the Royal Tannenbaums, but I don’t think it is the one.
No one can comfirm which the mysterious film is?[/quote]It can’t be “Royal Tannenbaums”, I haven’t seen it but I’m pretty sure it’s one I own, so it’s 1) On my shelf and 2) Probably a pile of rubbish.
I have googled some of my less embarrassing ones but no luck yet. It might come to me.
Scorsese usually puts his mother in his movies. You see her playing the mother of the mob boss who runs the grocery shop (who ultimately brings down the whole operation) in 1995’s Casino.
Scorsese also has 2 cameo’s in 1976’s “Taxi Driver” one as the customer in the back of the cab that hates his wife and the other sitting in the Palatine HQ.
Frank Oz (Yoda, director of Little Shop of Horrors) often does cameos in John Landis movies - in Trading Places, he’s the booking cop for Dan Akroyd’s character.
I seem to recall there’s a movie where there’s an announcement in an airport for Mr Frank Ozkerwitz… thats Frank Oz’s realname. Must be a Landis film but I can’t remember what it is without looking it up.
[quote=“Funk500”]Casino Royale… British Airways recently edited out that scene[/quote]He was in Superman Returns as a shuttle pilot. Did they cut that out too ?
[quote=“llama_lout”]Doesn’t Leonardo di Caprio make a cameo as an actor in several films?[/quote]It was credited, therefore it wasn’t a cameo.

Not heard anything about that.
I just noticed a sort of cameo while watching King Kong. One of the animals on board the ship is listed as a “Sumatran Rat Monkey”. The Sumatran Rat monkey was the creature that bit the old lady in Braindead (One of Jackson’s earlier films)

Shit, yeah! I watched Braindead just the other night but didn’t catch the significance. That’s pretty funny.
[quote=“Big Fluffy Matthew”]If you’re talking about directors that have cameos in their own films then Richard Donner in Superman (Extended version) and Superman II (although that’s not his film, sort of)

Me Myself and Irene?
The Blues Brothers?
Stan Lee does awful cameos in Spiderman, as well as Mall Rats.
Jerry Garcia was a homeless banjo player in the 1978 Invasion of the Body SNatchers. Later on his face was transplanted onto a dog’s body and it’s waht caused on of the leading characters to get found out.
[quote=“jdsmith”]Me Myself and Irene?
The Blues Brothers?[/quote]I think you have too high an opinion of my tastes. I think I’m just going to have to have sleepless nights over this.
I think the most important person to have a cameo was King Abdullah II of Jordan who had a cameo in Star Trek Voyager. He was only crown prince at the time.

Didn’t Dr Hawking also have a cameo?
off topic but I have an amusing anecdote regarding Dr Hawking. My sister in laws mate was a nurse/personal aide a few years back for him and she and Steven (sp?) became pretty good mates. A few years later at the lady’s wedding (which my brother and his wife attended) Dr Hawking gave a video message about the secrets of a successful life. Apparently it was the funniest thing anyone had ever heard… He was saying stuff like “Make sure your wheelchair remains plugged in over night” “Don’t let you kids work out how to make your computer say fuck 100 times” and so on… The man is a comic genius…
