• 17 Again. The Jerk Jock is Melchior Gabor from Spring Awakening?
  • The Chronicles of Riddick was probably filmed in Vancouver, as it dives into the pool of Vancouver-approved actors. Just click every (non-major) castmember and do a search for Dark Angel, Battlestar Galactica, Supernatural, Stargate, The X Files or any other recent sci-fi show. It seems they all share one can of extras which they keep on using over and over and over...
  • Chandler Bing turns into Zac Efron who seduces the Hooters girl from Big Daddy. And gets hit on by Dawn, who is his daughter.
• Seann William Scott, or "The guy who played Stifler." Poor guy.
• John Simm and Christopher Eccleston turned up in 24 Hour Party People, a film that was two hours of 'Hey, It's That Guy!', featuring as it did Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Peter Kay, Ralph Little (from the Royle Family), John Thomson (Great, Wonderful!), Shirley Henderson, Paddy Considine, Lennie James, Simon Pegg, AND Andy Serkis.
  • Not to mention the real Tony Wilson, Howard Devoto, Mark E. Smith, Vini Reilly, Paul Ryder, Mike Pickering, and other figures from the Manchester of the movie's setting.
• In The View Askewniverse film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, there is a moment when Jay and Silent Bob come face-to-face with the actors who are slated to play them. The film explicitly invokes the trope when Jay recognizes both of them solely by their past roles.
  Jay: Hey, wait a second! Aren't you the guy who fucked the pie?
  Jason Biggs: You see?! It's never "Hey! You're that guy from Loser!" Or, "Hey you rocked in Boys and Girls!" No, it always comes back to that fucking pie! I'm HAUNTED by it!
  • The film then subverts the trope when Biggs is arrested, being mistaken for a trespasser (in this case, Silent Bob), screaming desperately at Miramax studio security that he's "the PIEFUCKER!"—to no avail.
    Security guard: Well, in prison, he'll be the pie.
    • The security guard also counts, seeing as he was in the main cast on The Drew Carey Show.
    • Speaking of American Pie, I suspect that Nadia the Czech foreign exchange student is working with Faith and Nikki.
    • "HEY KIDS! IT'S MARK HAMILL!"
• Ray Park, who played Darth Maul in Star Wars — arguably the only reason to watch Episode I — also played Toad in X-Men. He was so unrecognisable in both that they had to make him do a staff flourish after knocking Storm down an elevator shaft for anybody to realise who he was.
  • And then there's his appearance in Sleepy Hollow, in which he was one of the stuntmen for the (Headless version of the) Headless Horseman. It's the sword flourish which distinguishes him even though you can't see his face.
  • It's not helped by the fact that Maul's voice was dubbed by Peter Serafinowicz— also known as Peter Packard from Look Around You and Pete from Shaun Of The Dead. Interestingly, he voiced Darth Chef's few lines in South Park.
• In the Death Note live action movie, Light's father is played by Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef. Makes you wonder whether he'll take a bite of an apple or a bell pepper... Or a POTATO CHIP.
  • That, and one of the judges made me go all "OMG, Sofie Fatale still has her arms?" at first. Yep, Julie Dreyfus has been there.
  • For that matter Light himself. Why is Shuya Nanahara killing people with a notebook?
• Paul Freeman portrayed Belloq in the first Indiana Jones movie... and Ivan Ooze in the first Power Rangers movie. Ironically, in one his head a splodes, and in the other his face melts.
  • He's a priest in Hot Fuzz.
  • In an interesting (and bizarre) way, Lucas cast him as Gentleman Adventurer Frederick Selous in the prequel TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, where he is a mentor figure to the teen Indy.
• Christine from The Phantom Of The Opera is Bulma.
  • And she married Nite-Owl!
• The second Die Hard movie has Agent Sloan of Section 31 and T-1000 as terrrorists and Chief O'Brien as one of the luckless pilots.
• Udo Kier◊ is one of the kings of this trope, with plenty of small movie roles here and there, from low-budget horror flicks (he tends to be the most prolific actor these productions can rope in) to supporting roles in bigger movies such as Ace Ventura and Blade. Most of the time he's just known as "that creepy-looking German guy" by movie-goers.
  • He was also Yuri in the Command And Conquer series of games.
• Although he's lately had some lead roles, Steve Buscemi is That Guy, particularly for any fan of Coen Brothers or Adam Sandler films. The weaselly crook with the Brooklyn accent.
  • Alternatively, he mostly plays wackos (the Adam Sandler movies, Con Air, Armageddon...).
• The new Stepfather remake can be summed as Lily marries Sean McNamara, but her son Dan Humphrey thinks he's a psycho, while Susan Lewis investigates with Elliot Stabler.
• Carrie is Samara's mother? That explains a lot.
• What does Emmett Cullen do in Beverly Hills?
• The new thriller The Roommate will have Blair Waldorf torment Lyla Garrity and Volchok.
• After Cloverfield, Lily moved to Melrose, where she lives with Ruby, alson known as Trish, while Rob had a successful comedy webseries, Jason kept dying (and eventually got better), Beth got pursued by a Dybbuk and got her boyfriend Volchok killed, despite Jim Gordon's help, and Marlena is a waitress in Hollywood waiting for her big break.
• Mr. Orange can tell when you lie.
  • When he's not busy robbing restaurants.
    • Or indeed playing verbal tennis with Jim Gordon
    • Or playing piano in an ocean liner.
    • And what about his wife? Why did she leave dancing for the courtroom?
• Tony Shalhoub is a very diverse character actor, and he's been That Guy in a number of movies. When he isn't playing neurotics, he's been an alien pawn ship owner, a washed up actor in a cancelled sci fi series, and a FBI agent
  • Of course, he's played more than one neurotic: see Wings.
  • He played a tan guy with a mustache at some sort of resort in Florida; apparently he had some dirt on a political candidate.
  • He is also the Deadly Shadow Guy from The X Files episode 'Soft Light'.
  • Oh, and he was the one who introduced Jerome and Vincent in Gattaca.
  • He also makes a brief and odd appearance as a buzzed, partying sailor in The Addams Family Values, the second Addams Family movie.
  • After all that, he needed a fresh start. Fortunately, he had recently inherited a fabulous new house; unfortunately, the house happened to be occupied by some seriously pissed-off ghosts.
  • Let's not forget his brief stint as a literary agent.
• Apparently, Dr. House and Dolores Umbridge make a great couple. They've been married twice, in Peter's Friends and then 3 years later in Sense and Sensibility.
  • Speaking of Sense and Sensibility, Bertie STILL can't escape his Aunt Agatha. Only now she's his mother-in-law.
• Dewey is fighting giant spiders now?
• Apparently Neo used to be a stoned kid from San Dimas and an LAPD agent. Oh, and his best friend is a vampire.
• Fargo got lucky with Jesse on Melrose Place.
• Who can honestly say they didn't think "Hey, it's Deebo!" when Tommy Lister shows up as the President in The Fifth Element?
  • Or as the prisoner who takes the detonator from the warden in The Dark Knight.
• Complete fail example: This troper was channel flicking one night, and came upon a film where he recognised one of the actresses, but couldn't work out where from. After a few more minutes, it became apparent that where he recognised her from was the previous time he'd tripped over part of the exact same film. (Isabelle Adjani in Diabolique, for the curious.)
• Why is Princess Leia leading Dr. Evil's group therapy session?
  • It's how she pays for the weapons she used to try and kill John Belushi and Dr. Ray Stantz.
• The movie The Prestige can probably be summed up as "Wolverine solicits the help of Jareth and Gollum to show up his rival in theatrical illusions, Batman". It's even more awesome than it sounds.
  • Don't forget that Alfred mentors Wolverine because Batman is too good at what he does to need a mentor.
  • This troper caught some flak for a similar summary of Pulp Fiction. "Mace Windu and Deak Deakins shoot a bunch of people."
• X-Men: Captain Picard versus Gandalf. Or maybe LotR is Magneto versus Count Dooku?
  • Neither, any more. Now it's a really strange prequel to Waiting for Godot.
  • There was also his less-remarkable role in The DaVinci Code, where he aids Forrest Gump and Amelie in discovering an ancient secret while protecting them from Doc Ock and Geoffrey Chaucer.
  • Also, it's really kind of impossible to look at Cyclops anymore without thinking of Prince Edward, or Glenn fron Ally Mc Beal unfortunately.
    • This editor has trouble seeing James Marsden in her head without the Cyclops visor, no matter what role she's picturing him in.
• Juno. It can be summed up as "Lilith Sandstrom—er, Hayley Stark, who stops hunting pedophiles and changes her name to Kitty Pryde when her mutant power surfaces, gets pregnant by George Michael Bluth, so J. Jonah Jameson and C. J. Cregg help her get the baby adopted by Elektra".
  • She also interacts with Michael Bluth in addition to his son.
  • But not before trading snark with Dwight Shrute at the local convenience store.
  • Joe Loves Crappy Movies summed it up better.
  • Hey, it's that red hoodie. (Seriously, did anyone else notice she had a red hoodie in both Hard Candy and Juno?)
• John Boorman's Excalibur: Captain Picard and Qui-Gon Jinn are Knights of the Round Table!
  • Julius Caesar is supposedly in there too, though I've never caught him.
• Perhaps Judge Doom got the idea to destroy Toontown after hitting his head on the sink while standing on his toilet to hang a clock.
  • No, he got it after his amnesia from the Bermuda Triangle was reversed by lightning.
  • You're both wrong - it was that one damn brownie...
  • Or maybe he just missed out on medication time at the hospital.
  • Well, being kicked into a lava pit by Denny Crane didn't improve things, I imagine...
• Qui-Gon Jinn is really Rob Roy transported back in time to a galaxy far, far away...
  • After which he's reincarnated and turns eeevill.
    • Having first fathered Leonardo diCaprio in Gangs of New York, Legolas in Kingdom of Heaven., and being transformed into a talking lion who's also the ultimate Crystal Dragon Jesus.
    • There's a reason this Troper calls him Qui-Jean al Jesus.
• Both the ending of Wonder Boys and the beginning of Tropic Thunder can be summed up as: "Iron Man has sex with Spider-Man".
• 28 Days Later: "Dr. Jonathan Crane, Mad-Eye Moody, and Tia Dalma go on a road trip to find the Ninth Doctor, who has gone mad with power." (Granted, it was made before they took those roles, but still.)
• In the Harry Potter and The GobletOfFire movie, Barty Crouch Jr is The Tenth Doctor.
  • What about Cedric Diggory resurrecting as a sparkly vampire? You knew it would come up.
    • This troper caught Goblet of Fire the other night and I have been racking my brain since trying to figure out where I had just seen Cedric Diggory in. Thanks, it was driving me batty!
    • Such a phenomenon was this casting that the fandom promptly dubbed him 'Cedward.'
  • In Bruges: Hitman Bullseye and his partner Mad-Eye Moody go to Bruges, where Bullseye falls for Fleur Delacour, but then their psycho boss, Lord Voldemort, shows up to ruin everything.
  • Dolores Umbridge was up to her old tricks in Freedom Writers. Did we mention that Freedom Writers and the Order Of The Phoenix film came out the same year?
  • There was a recent episode of Masterpiece Mystery with the actors who play Sean Biggerstaff and Arthur Weasley. (And a character called Snape!)
• This is why it's fun to watch the film Elizabeth: Lady Galadriel ascends to the throne of England, Big X keeps pressuring her to get married, Captain Barbossa is her closest adviser and spymaster, the Ninth Doctor is hellbent on overthrowing her, and James Bond is a conspiratorial monk. Okay, then.
• In retrospect, William Peterson's performance on Red Dragon looks like an extended audition for his role as Gil Grissom on CSI.
• The 2007 film version of Sweeney Todd: Captain Jack SparrowEdward Scissorhands is a deranged barber who kills people after failing to kill Snape (whose sidekick is none other than Peter Pettigrew); Bellatrix Lestrange bakes the victims into pies out of a strange devotion to him. Borat makes a (fully-clothed) appearance, and even Giles shows up briefly.
• The Masters of the Universe movie from the 80s. Drago fights against Dracula and Cagney with help from Tom Paris, Monica, and the High Aldwin.
• In Shakespeare In Love, Pepper Potts falls in love with William Shakespeare, Barbossa runs a theater troupe, M is the Queen of England, and Daredevil is a self-absorbed actor bent on a starring role.
• The Love Interests in the two Tomb Raider films are played by James Bond and Leonidas, King of Sparta.
• A big part of the melodrama in Dead Poets Society was ruined because Neil's dad was played by Kurtwood "Red Foreman" Smith. Instead of a Big No, This Troper expected him to yell "Neil, you're a DUMBASS!" when he finds Neil dead after blowing his head off with his dad's gun. And the less we say about Mork being Neil's schoolteacher and Neil now being Dr. James Wilson, the better. The troper SO wanted Hugh Laurie to be in the class...
  • Didn't Kurtwood Smith also gueststar in House once too?
    • Yes, and Dave Matthews played his son.
  • It can be very unsettling to watch Clarence Boddicker as a respectable father. Or the head of the Federation. Or attempting to blow up history.
  • This is an unauthorized thought process, dumbass!
  • Evidently Neil changed his mind, came back to life and became a doctor, just like his father wanted him to. Or maybe he became an actor, which he actually wanted to be but his father was against, and he's only playing a doctor...
• Valkyrie can be summed up as Ethan Hunt, Hamlet, Davy Jones, and Eddie Izzard trying to assassinate Hitler in order to make General Zod the leader of Germany.
• The 1940 film The Invisible Woman has various hijinks ensue as the titular character must protect the invisibility device from bumbling gangsters. How bumbling are the gangsters? They actually accepted Shemp as a member.
• Spicoli and Louise, directed by Bob Roberts, whom Spicoli later killed.
• Hey, why is The Phantom Of The Opera also King of SPARTA!!!?
  • And whose opera house is it really? His or Julius Caesar's?
  • Well, he did need a place where he could stay out of the sun...
• Chronicles Of Narnia. Zidler takes the children in, and they go to a magical world through his wardrobe ruled by the evil Gabriel, but they work with the real King, voiced by Oskar Schindler. And let's not forget that Reepicheep sings "Being of the Benefit of Mister Kite".
  • Also voiced by a cross-dresser.
• Into The Wild is about Speed Racer meeting Norman Bates, Bella Swan, Thunderbolt Ross and Harper Lee.
• The 2002 Nicholas Nickleby features Nathan (of the UK Queer As Folk) leaving his sister Amelia Sedley in the care of his evil uncle, Captain Von Trapp, while he goes to work for evil schoolmaster Zidler and Zidler's wife Mrs Elton. With the help of Dan Vasser, he takes Billy Elliot and escapes. The two stop over with a theatre troupe led by Timon and Dame Edna Everage, featuring Nightcrawler, before making it back to Amelia in London. There Nathan is helped by the kindly brothers Peter Pettigrew and Beethoven (Immortal Beloved version) and falls in love with Mia Thermopolis.
• A Knights Tale: The Joker aspires to be a knight, so he enlists Wash, Door and Silas the Albino Monk to help him commit fraud in order to fulfill his dreams. Luckily Mark Antony is there to give him a leg-up.
• Die Hard is simply David Addison having a very bad day. Every other Bruce Willis movie is simply Die Hard On An X.
  • And his adversary is (take your pick) the Sherriff of Nottingham, Severus Snape, the Voice of God, Dr. Lazarus, or (see below) Judge Turpin.
    • Don't forget Marvin the Paranoid Android!
    • And note how in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Hans Gruber of all people hurls someone from a tower.
• Michael Winterbottom's Genova has Colin Firth as the father of Kaitlin Cooper, and The Sandman's daughter. Also has Catherine Keener, who happens to be a master in this field, being in films such as 40YearOldVirgin and Being John Malkovich.
• It was a little weird while watching Dadnapped to see Justin and Rico trying to kidnap Lilly's dad who then needs Mr. Moseby's help.
• Jim Broadbent's all over the darn place— Brazil, the Harry Potter films, Moulin Rouge, the film version of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and so much more...
• This Troper was shocked forever by a scene from Deep Impact. Imagine Elijah "You-Know-That-Hobbit" Wood, offering Leelee "Joan of Arc" Sobieski TWO f—ing GOLDEN RINGS!
  • He also received a ring in Everything Is Illuminated. It weirded this troper's mother out.
    • She probably shouldn't watch Sin City, then...
    • This Troper watched The Faculty simply because he was channel surfing and went "What the hell... Frodo?"
• The movie Titanic for people in a hurry: Hudson goes looking for a diamond lost on a ship designed by Sydney Bristow's dad and captained by Théoden. The Phantom bought the diamond for Kate Winslet; unfortunately, Romeo Montague wins over her affections. Chancellor Gorkon tries to kill both of them, but the ship sinks, leaving Kate Winslet to be rescued by Reed Richards.
• Munich: James Bond and The Hulk go killing terrorists.
• Newsies: Batman and Captain Lone Starr lead a bunch of paperboys as they go on strike against Boo Radley.
• Wimbledon: Silas the Albino Monk and Mary Jane Watson play tennis, they hit it off and have to face her Overprotective Dad, Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park.
• The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in a pinch: General Zod goes on a road trip with Agent Smith and The Count Of Monte Cristo. Camp Gay and a few Busby Berkeley Numbers ensue. Yaoi Fangirls eat your freaking hearts out.
  • And we can't forget Blade, Sam Wheat and Tybalt as drag queens in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, either!
• Kingdom of Heaven had Will Turner inheriting a sword from his father Qui Gon Jinn to go to Jerusalem with the help of Remus Lupin and Scar where he falls in love with a Bond Girl who happens to be the sister of Tyler Durden...sort of and the wife of Celeborn. Good luck, Legolas.
• Galaxy Quest: Tim Taylor, Snape, and hot blonde Ripley get kidnapped by Dwight and Elliot (the photographer) to boldy go, blah blah blah... With special guest stars Chief Engineer Monk, Red Shirt Zaphod Beeblebrox, and a Mac fanboy. No, a fanboy who is a Mac.
• Huck Finn is a very little Frodo Baggins. It set this troper's entire English class to laughing.
• A Kid in King Arthur's Court: You have a teenage Kevin Meyers go back in time to Camelot where one of Arthur's daughters is Rose DeWitt. And Rose is in love with James Bond but the villain, Salim Abu Aziz tries to blackmail her into marrying him. It was BAAAAAD
• Man on the Moon is based on a true story, yet has the Penguin becoming the Riddler's agent.
• Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. I am ... Megatron, but you may call me V.
• The Cider House Rules: Peter Parker helps Alfred perform abortions at an orphanage but decides to leave with Mary Ann Lomax and her boyfriend Brian Fantana.
  • After flirting with Aeon Flux.
  • Alfred gets around, you know. He's killed Zulus, fought sharks, stolen money, been dressed to kill, you name it...
• This troper feels that the film The Duchess should be retitled "I Married Lord Voldemort".
• Anakin Skywalker may have gotten the drop on Mace once, but now that he has the ability to teleport and is calling himself David, you know it's on...
• Thank You For Smoking: Harvey Dent helps his boss J. Jonah Jameson enlist Sam Seaborn to help make smoking more popular and fight Senator Major Caldwell all while being a good role model for his son, Leech. Aaron Eckhart is probably going to get a lot of this since The Dark Knight.
• Dave: Tulio is both the president and a guy who looks like the president, the president is married to Ripley and having an affair with Alfred Kinsey's wife, his head security guard is Marcellus Wallace, the Chief of Staff is Richard Nixon, and Mahatma Gandhi is the Vice President.
• Watch The Prophecy. "Holy shit! Aragorn is Satan?"
• Dogma... OK, so Snape/Marvin is now sent by GOD?!?!
• Michael Mann's latest, Public Enemies has Dr. Manhattan hiring Batman to catch Jack Sparrow.
• Demolition Man: Rambo and the chick from Speed fight Blade in the future. The "I'm an asshole" guy shows up too.
• Pineapple Express: Ben Stone smokes pot with Harry Osborn.
  • Ben Stone also smokes pot with Seth, Marshall Eriksen and Kevin Sandusky. And got Dr Izzie Stevens pregnant.
• Alexander has Bullseye as Alexander The Great, Batman and Lara Croft as his parents, and Mimi Marquez as his lover.
• Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Marshall broke up with Veronica Mars and met Jackie in Hawaii.
  • Veronica Mars worked with Michael Bluth in a CSI parody.
• Hot Fuzz: The Editor and Commander Henderson police a town populated by one of Bridget Jones' colleagues, Argus Filch and Prince Barrin. And James Bond owns a grocery store.
  • Speaking of Bridget Jones, does anyone find it disturbing that she also hangs out with Gaius Baltar?
• Major League has Charlie Harper as a glasses wearing badass pitcher, the guy from L.A. Law, President David Palmer as a voodoo practioner, Rene Russo and Blade as a smooth talking, base stealing out outfielder.
  • Don't forget Conrad Hilton as a journeyman relief pitcher who wants thinks that Jesus Christ can hit a curveball.
• When this troper watched Mr Deeds, he found it difficult to take the evils of the Corrupt Corporate Executives seriously - after all, one of them was Sandy Cohen, public defence lawyer, adopter of random juvenile delinquents and all-around nice guy. And yet he never displayed even a hint of the compassion and generosity that we see (later) in TheOC. It was creepy.
• Eastern Promises: Diane Selwyn delivers a teenage girl's baby and searches for her (the baby's) biological father, which leads her to a Russian crime family that includes Aragorn and the Night Fox. Oh, and Aragorn has a nude fight scene.
• Arthur Dent is Lord Brideshead in the 1981 Brideshead Revisited. And Tim from The Office is Arthur Dent in the movie.
• The otherwise horrible Superhero Movie is full of these: Drake Parker obtains superpowers from Data's lab. In a flashback we see that his dead mom was Shego and that Frank Drebin is his Uncle, who is shot by a bank robber, but is treated by Dr. George Senior and receives mentoring from Tracy Jordan, who is having an affair with Pamela Anderson so that he can battle Christopher McDonald for killing Homer Simpson. Some people must have really need the work.
• The Animal: Hey, it's Doctor Cox from Scrubs!
• The intro sequence for War Games consists of Mr Blonde and Leo McGarry discussing drugs in a nuclear bunker.
  • Later, we see Ferris Bueller changing his grades while Alison from TheBreakfastClub watches.
• The film version of Angels And Demons has both Christian and Semyon as men of the cloth. It's weird.
• Try showing Much Ado About Nothing in middle school. While Gilderoy Lockhart and Professor Trelawney argue all the time, Neo tries to ruin the prospective marriage of Wilson and Selene by having his henchman seduce Umbridge while Wilson and Malcolm X look on. The wedding is saved by Beetlejuice.
• The Devil's Advocate. Neo works for his father, Michael Corleone, and is married to Aeon Flux.
• Tropic Thunder. Starring Action Star Gaylord Focker, Comedian Dewey Finn and Academy Award Winner Tony Stark. Directed by Octavius. Produced by Ethan Hunt.
  • About the latter, it really takes a while to realise that guy is actually Tom Cruise. Until we see his intense eyes...
• Enchanted: Princess Giselle went to modern-day New York, met Dr Derek Shepard, who is married to Maureen Johnson. In the meantime, Prince Cyclops as well as the Evil Witch Louise and her assistant Peter Pettigrew are looking for her.
• Also doubles as "Hey, It's That Voice!", Greg Cipes showed up in the fourth The Fast And The Furious movie.
  • Hey, it's Kevin Levin! But why is his car not green?
  • Each F&F movie must have a rapper making a cameo in the movie. The first movie has Ja Rule, the second movie has Ludacris, Tokyo Drift has Bow Wow and the fourth has T-Pain.
• Terminator Salvation has Batman and a mermaid lead the human resistance, and Elizabeth Frankenstein solicit a body donation.
• Dawn Of The Dead: Hey look it's Joe DuBois! And he's not a background character this time!
• A New Hope's Grand Moff Tarkin makesa brief appearance◊ at the end of Revenge Of The Sith, played by Wayne Pygram. Yes, that Wayne Pygram.
• Take The Lead has Zorro teaching Rufio, Yaya and Finding Forrester's Jamal Wallace how to dance. You're the man now, dawg!
• This troper watched a film version of Othello in World Lit class with Laurence Fishburne in the title role. His shouting aloud of "no one can be told what the Matrix is, Iago!" got plenty of laughs. The "Cowboy Curtis" jokes, not so much.
• Force 10 From Navarone stars Indiana Jones and Quint as commandos sent by Lord President Borusa to fight the Nazis in occupied Yugoslavia alongside KGB Agent Triple X and Apollo Creed. Captain Vogel and Eegah try to stop them.
• Mr. Lau apparently survived Joker's attempt at burning him to death. Losing all his fortune, he hides in the mountains of Tibet as a lowly construction worker and even survived the 2012 doomsday event.
• Hey, Ezra (from The Haunted Mansion) is Vizzini!
• ''Them!'': Marshal Dillon and Santa Claus take on giant ants!
• Million Dollar Baby: Dirty Harry and God turn Brandon Teena into a boxing champ!
