That was the silliest one to have here though, no one who watched the movie missed that.
I think it's great that in that Liar Liar scene, the people in front of him can't hold a straight face.

25:46 - Jackson made cameos in all three LotR movies. Aside from the carrot-eating human in "Fellowship," he was a soldier on the wall in the Battle of Helm's Deep, and he was the guy shot by Legolas's errant warning shot thanks to Gimli's interference.

In Spider-man, Flash was played by Joe Manganiello. Every time I watch the movie I forget that's him until seeing the end credits. He just looks so different.
Edward Norton in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN isn't a 'cameo'; KIng Basil was an important, albeit secondary character; one just couldn't see who it was

Old A-team in the new movie. Not so much hidden but half of the original A-team shows up in the 2010 movie. Dwight Schultz (80s Murdock) can be seen briefly as a scientist observing Murdock (Sharlto Copley) undergoing shock therapy. Dirk Benedict (80s Face) gets a pretty on-the-nose question from Face (Bradley Cooper) right before he steps into the tanning booth.
Sir Sean Connery made a hidden cameo appearance in the first DragonHeart film (He was the dragon). And he also made a surprise appearance at the tail-end of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves 1991.
Edward Norton's voice is so distinct it is easy to recognize even with whatever accent he attempted to disguise it with.

If you put Hot Fuzz and Peter Jackson on the list, you could have used him as a segway to the Colbert cameo, since Jackson was the guy that stabbed Simon Pegg in the hand in the initial montage
Other sneaky cameos I can think of are -Jamie Lee Curtis in Escape From New York(1981) the narrator in the beginning. -George Lucas in Hook(1991) the man kissing the woman on bridge. -Stephen King & Wes Craven in Diary Of The Dead(2007) as voices on radio. -Adrienne Barbeau in The Thing(1982) voice of chess computer. -Christian Slater in Star Trek 6(1991)the ensign standing in the shade of the captain’s door. -Sofia Coppola in Star Wars episode 1(1999) as a handmaiden. -writers John Skipp and Greg Spector in Night Of The Living Dead(1990)as zombies held back by the torch. -Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween 3 Season Of The Witch(1982) as voice on the town intercom. Nancy Loomis also from Halloween 1&2 plays a brief character of the ex-wife credited under her real name Nancy Kyes.

In a deleted scene in “The Last Jedi” Tom Hardy disguised himself as Stormtrooper 926, who came across Finn as he infiltrated the Supremacy.
Elizabeth Taylor made a cameo appearance in *_"Anne of the Thousand Days"_* *(1969).* She appears as a masked courtesan who interrupts Queen Catherine's prayers about an hour into the film.
i always thought it was Loki talking at the beginning of Infinity War💀
I recently noticed Viola Davis in "Ocean's Eleven"; she's on the parole board questioning Danny Ocean just before he's released.

I haven’t seen one from number 24 and one from 23. I did know however some of the cameos like Edward Norton in Kingdom Of Heaven,Dan Ackroyd In Temple Of Doom, Cate Blanchett in Hot Fuzz, Nathan Fillion In Guardians Of The Galaxy, Glenn Close in Hook, maybe Bill Murray in Dumb and Dumber Too,Wes Craven in Scream, Steven Spielberg in The Blues Brothers Paul Reubens in Batman Returns Steve Buscemi in Pulp Fiction and Daniel Craig in The Force Awakens. More recently I knew that cameo in Ghostbusters.
Paul Reubens, although he wasn’t a “celebrity” at the time can be on there for a true cameo. He plays the sommelier in “The Blues Brothers” when Belushi and Ackroyd (Jake and Elwood) visit a fancy restaurant.

21:55 It didn't take more than 5 seconds to figure out that Dan Aykroyd was in the Indiana movie. He's been in many movies so his voice is legendary. It's SO easy to hear after about one line...
The Indians Jones scene was like all the people who made the film 😂 They were like “Now that we’ve MADE this film we should be IN this film! And no one will ever know!”
Always wondered who the margarita guy was, Jimmy Buffet just being epic.
Thomas Brodie Sangster is also a Star Wars cameo actor. He plays some officer in The Force Awakens who has like one line 😂
We really owe Paul Ruebens for giving us Tim Burton films!
I have to watch kingdom of heaven again! Loved Baldwin II!
Kenneth Branagh in Infinity War, Joe Russo in endgame. It's so cool to have previous directors acting in newer MCU films. Even if Joe Russo was acting twice in four of his movies.
Malcolm Mcdowell made a cameo in the movie Cellphone.
Joe Cornish in that same hot Fuzz scene and the Last Jedi.
It's literally sounds exactly like Edward Norton, but if Edward Norton were doing an impression of Marlon Brando
I literally watched Infinity War like five days ago! 😂😂 Oh my gosh! I can’t believe it was Kenneth Branagh! I’ve seen that movie about 100 times and never knew that!
My favorite is John C Reilly as Sasquatch in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.
Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg as Photo Booth Zombies in "Land of the dead" Scott H. Reiniger, Ken Foree & Tom Savini from the original 1978 "Dawn of the dead" in the 2004 Remake
This is just 30 random cameos. Very few of them are super memorable. A couple examples are Charlton Heston in Wayne's World 2, Martin Sheen in Hot Shots! Part Deux and Stan Lee in Mallrats.
No idea that was Bradley Cooper in 10 Cloverfield Lane. I’ve only seen that movie once but I still had no idea that was him 😂
The video duration is 29:29, this brings me happiness.
I don't even know half of these people
You missed Prince William and Harry as stormtroopers, I can't remember which one, but they've been in one of the recent films.
Christopher Guest as the first customer in Little Shop of Horrors to spot Baby Audrey II in the floral shop window
In the kids movie The never ending story there are many cameos including Ewoks Mickey Mouse and many more
Regarding Paul Reubens in Batman Returns... "While nobody caught the cameo at first..." even though every single journalist who wrote or spoke about the film in the week before its premiere mentioned Reubens' role specifically
Tom Cruise and Jon BonJovi in "Young Guns" Jon in YGII as well
I noticed Lucy Lawless IMMEDIATELY! I was watching in theaters and immediately yelled out “HEY.......... THAT’S LUCY LAWLESS!” I heard a few people in the theater say “HOLY SHIT............ that is her!”
Oh god, Kingdom of Heaven? I haven't watched that since I got the bluray when it first came out, probably 20 years ago
What about tarantino and Mike myers in inglorious basterds or Chris Martin in shaun of the dead or Peter Jackson in hot fuzz?
Forgot when Heath Ledger had a cameo in The Dark Night. You’re usually ontop of things like that. 😂
