Death by Cameo: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* The live-action ''[[Transformers Film Series|Transformers]]'' movie has Megatron casually flicking (a CGI approximation of) Michael Bay, saying "Disgusting."

** There was actually going to be a much longer scene with Megatron personally plucking Michael out of a car for no reason other than to be a bastard and to have Michael in the movie. The cast and crew spent almost an entire day tormenting Michael by doing this scene over and over again. Hilariously, after Michael spent a day hanging on to a car, the scene ended up being cut from the movie due to time constraints.

* Director Martin Campbell appears as the tanker truck driver murdered at Miami airport in ''[[Casino Royale]]''. He also appeared in ''[[~~Goldeneye~~]]'' as a motorcyclist who gets run over by Xenia Onatopp, and in that same movie Pierce Brosnan's stunt double Wayne Michaels (who performed the bungee jump at the beginning) appears as a helicopter pilot who gets blown away with a machine gun by Xenia Onatopp.

* In ''[[Creepshow]]'', Stephen King (who wrote the screenplay) plays a character named Jordy who turns into a giant fungus. He commits suicide by shooting himself with a shotgun.

* Volker Engel, who was head of the FX unit on ''[[Independence Day]]'', had a three-second cameo as an office worker getting blown away. Bonus points for being killed by your own special effect...

Line 120:

** In ''Disney/Hercules'', when Hercules is posing for a painter, he is wearing Scar's hide.

** Four times, as a director cameo: Those guys in Mulan lighting the fireworks were the movie's directors. They jump off and fall to their deaths after seeing Mushu.

* It happens in ''[[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~]]'' movie ''Abra-Catastrophe,'' although it requires a little bit of [[Fridge Logic]]. During his battle with [[Evil Overlord]] Crocker, Timmy and Crocker himself get shrunken down to subatomic levels. The audience is given an [[Establishing Shot]] zooming in on the pencil erasure of a rather frustrated looking series creator Butch Hartman. Fast forward a few minutes and Timmy splits an atom, resulting in a nuclear explosion, as expected. Timmy and Crocker survive via different forms of magic, but Butch and his studio are nowhere to be seen.

* In ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'', series creator John Dilworth's name appears on the list of people who checked into the Katz Motel. By the end of the episode, Katz made it clear that every guest before the Bagges was killed.

* In ''[[Green Lantern: Emerald Knights|Green Lantern Emerald Knights]]'', Producer [[Bruce Timm]] makes an uncredited appearance as the Lantern Galius Zed, who gets killed off pretty quickly.
