I can believe Mr Wayne chucking Robinson into a river.

I can't imagine him beating up Brian Glover.

Speaking of Indy and Middle Eastern types

Omad Djalli was in 'Last Crusade
Do you mean Alexei Sayle?

Omad Djalli was in 'Last Crusade
Clocked him in 'The Mummy' as well.
He was the oil pipeline site manager in 'The World Is Not Enough' too. And the trader who sells Oliver Reed 'queer giraffes' in Gladiator.

Don Cheadle in Rush Hour 2 - played the Blackinese guy and is not in the credits, IIRC.

But he's not in Indy - Last Crusade though? I remember Alexi Sayle playing some kind of Arab guy, but Djalili's IMDB only goes back to '95, LC is '89.

I had in my mind that Charlie Sheen was in Apocalypse Now, but he wasn't (I don't think).

But R. Lee Ermey of 'Full Metal Jacket' fame was, he plays a Pilot.

He wasn't, but there's an Apocalypse Now spoof scene in Hot Shots (or maybe the sequel) where he's travelling up river in a boat and he meets Martin Sheen coming the other way - they both call out to each other: "Hi, loved you in Wall Street!"

I thought you were correcting me!

I'm sure I'd seen Djalili in Indy. He's forever playing the token Arabian type of guy during that time.

Hank Azaria, Simpsons voices - Mo, Chief Wiggum, Apu, Carl, Lou etc - Godzilla, Night at the Museum was in Pretty Woman!

He was the inspector cop when "Skinny Marie bought it" in the dumpster and the people from Orlando were taking pics of the body. (So I'm reliably told.) yes













(I know every word of Pretty Woman as I've seen it at least 50 times maybe more since it came out. Phew! I'm glad I got that off my chest.) nothing to see here, move along.

Excellent film, bit part of course from Rowan Atkinson of course.
But top cameo goes to Richard Crenna biggrin

Watched The Living Daylights the other day and was sure I recognised General Pushkin's lady-friend but couldn't remember where from, spent ages working out that she (Virginia Hey) was 'warrior woman' in Mad Max 2
Only just seen this thread now, but Virginia Hey was also in the Farscape TV series playing Zhaan, but she was blue and bald in that hehe

Didn't he lie about his age, to get the part?

Yes, he was only 15, but by the time they finished filming he was of legal age!

I'm told he's very sneaky wink

Now, this is where is gets vague, there's a shot, during the infamous beach assault scene. Helicopter lands and a young GI is shouting "I'm not going I'm not going I'm not going" he's in it for about 10 seconds, I'm sure he's 'someone' Johnny Depp, River Phoenix or someone like that, it's not Charlie Sheen because he's too young.

He's a always great as a supporting actor, birdcage (agador the very camp/gay house boy) friends (the geeky scientist boyfriend of phoebe), along came polly (the muscular bloke who knobs the wife of the lead actor). In just those 3 films he plays 3 entirely different roles, and is equally convincing in each.

Hot Shots Part Deux was a pointless answer on Pointless recently, RA films, I got it. biggrin

I knew he was in it, because he looks and sounds like himself, though it's odd that he has such a minor role after doing Star Wars.
Most shooting on AN was done by late May 1977, when SW came out. No-none knew it was going to be the biggest thing in history. As said Harrison had been around for over a decade as a jobbing actor, he expected to go back to making cabinets, not end up at one point in history in 6 of the top ten films in cinema. biggrin
