Yet Another Top 10 Epic Cameos In Film

Short but sweet! Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we’ll be counting down our picks for Yet Another Top 10 Epic Cameos in Film.

For this list, we’re looking at a few more cameos that left audiences giggling with delight. They can be portraying a character or themselves, so long as their performance is a cameo and not a supporting role. Tom Cruise in “Tropic Thunder” and Will Ferrell in “Wedding Crashers” fall into the latter. Also, be sure to check out our other lists of epic cameos.

#10: Billy Idol
“The Wedding Singer” (1998)

Adam Sandler’s Robbie Hart is the charming front man of a flailing rock band, who works as a wedding singer while waiting for his moment to shine. During one of his gigs, he meets a waitress named Julia, who is engaged to an obnoxious serial cheater. Love blooms, prompting Robbie to passionately confess his love to Julia on a plane before she ruins her life. Thankfully, her fiancée is kept at bay by another passenger, who also happens to have awesome hair. Billy Idol’s short cameo comes totally out of the blue and is worth the price of admission alone.

#9: Robert Patrick
“Wayne’s World” (1992)

“Terminator 2: Judgment Day” took the world by storm in 1991, prompting Robert Patrick to revive the character for a brief cameo in Mike Myers’ “Wayne’s World.” Dressed up in his now iconic beat cop uniform, the T-1000 pulls over Wayne to ask whether he recently saw John Connor running around. Myers reacts exactly how anyone would in this situation – he screams and hightails it out of there. By the way, the T-1000 was actually meant to be portrayed by Billy Idol before he was ruled out due to an unfortunate motorcycle accident.

#8: Danny McBride
“Observe and Report” (2009)

Considering they created comedy gold with “Eastbound & Down,” it is no surprise that Danny McBride appeared in Jody Hill's “Observe and Report.” Seth Rogen’s Ronnie is an arrogant mall cop driven by a desire for justice, who apprehends a prepubescent drug peddler during his free time. Unfortunately, the child’s crackhead father shows up with his goons and sticks a gun in Ronnie’s face area. Luckily for the mall cop, this gang has a few screws loose. Sticking to what he is known for, McBride delivers a funny and foul-mouthed performance.

#7: Hugh Jackman
“X-Men: First Class” (2011)

An “X-Men” movie apparently cannot be produced without an appearance from Wolverine, no matter how short it may be. Since the launch of the first movie, Hugh Jackman has made nine physical appearances as Logan – ten if you count “Deadpool.” While “X-Men: Apocalypse” went for an extended and violent action sequence, Wolverine’s best cameo lasted less than half a minute and featured no claws whatsoever. During “X-Men: First Class,” Xavier and Magneto are looking for able mutants to join their cause, which leads them to a dingy bar in the middle of nowhere. Sadly, it was a wasted journey.

#6: Christopher Lloyd
“A Million Ways to Die in the West” (2014)

Say what you want about Seth MacFarlane’s cinematic career – the dude knows how to write cameos. Despite being the director’s worst reviewed movie to date, “A Million Ways To Die in The West” features a few hilarious moments, including an out of the blue cameo by Doc Brown himself. MacFarlane’s Albert Stark randomly discovers Christopher Lloyd in a barn as the scientist tries to kick-start the DeLorean. Considering “Back to the Future Part III” takes place in the West, this cameo actually kind of makes sense.

#5: Everyone
“Muppets Most Wanted” (2014)

From the days of Steve Martin and Richard Pryor, The Muppets have turned celebrity cameos into an art form. Their 2014 outing boasts over 20 famous faces, ensuring that every single viewer will recognize at least a few of them. Picking the best of the bunch is practically impossible, as nearly all of them deliver the goods. Who did not laugh when Christoph Waltz showed up to literally do the Waltz, or Tom Hiddleston hamming it up as the Great Escapo for the prisoner talent show? Honestly, the entire movie is one big cameo.

#4: Eminem & Ray Romano
“Funny People” (2009)

Two for the price of one! “Funny People” centers on Adam Sandler as a struggling comedian who suddenly contracts a fatal disease and has to revalue his entire life. As with most of Judd Apatow’s work, “Funny People” blends hilarious hijinks with many heartfelt moments, including the awesome scene featuring Eminem and Ray Romano. After the rapper gives Sandler a pep-talk about the celebrity lifestyle, Eminem loses it after realizing that the “Everybody Loves Raymond” comedian is staring at him. Apparently, everybody does not include Eminem.

#3: Martin Sheen
“Hot Shots! Part Deux” (1993)

The “Hot Shots!” sequel parodies many serious war movies. So obviously they had to include a reference to Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 epic. A badass retired Navy soldier who found inner peace after discovering Buddhism, Charlie Sheen's Topper Harley is pulled back in for one final mission. While Ramboing his way through Iraq, he comes across Martin Sheen's character from “Apocalypse Now” - who might have taken a wrong turn on his way to Vietnam. As the father and son cross paths, they share a few words of encouragement.

#2: Ozzy Osbourne
“Little Nicky” (2000)

Deus Ex Machina – Black Sabbath style! As the son of Satan, the kind and sweet Little Nicky is a bitter disappointment. Sandler’s demon is on a quest to prevent his brothers from plunging the world into a never-ending darkness, although he does need a bit of help to get the job done. After smashing a mysterious orb given to him by his angelic mother, the Prince of Darkness shows up to take a bite out of Nicky's brother. Metal fans have known this for decades - but Ozzy is a gift from God.

#1: Michael Cera
"This Is the End" (2013)

George Michael Bluth would lose his mind if he met this version of Michael Cera. Starring Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Jonah Hill as themselves – “This Is the End” asks how celebrity would react to an end of days scenario. While the main actors mostly play it straight, Cera is allowed to run wild for his brief cameo. The “Arrested Development” actor drops his typical goody-two-shoes persona, as he gets high as a kite, engages in a threesome, and harasses Rihanna. Also, “This is the End” shows Channing Tatum in a gimp suit. You have to see it to believe it.
