Lucy Liu in Jerry Maguire?

Last week when I was in the movie theater, one of the pre-movie trivia questions was to name the movie that Lucy Liu first appeared in. The answer they gave was Jerry Maguire. It turns out that the IMDb thinks differently, but they do list her as being in that movie, as do the credits on the movie, as a “former girlfriend.”

But she’s not in the movie. I just watched it, and unless I’m blind, the only time that former girlfriends show up is in the bachelor party tape, and she’s not one of them. What’s up with that?

Lucy Liu was one of the “former girlfriends” featured in the videotape that Jerry’s friend played during the party scene. However, Liu’s videotaped segment never made it into the movie even though she was credited for it. Not a terrible loss IMO, as playing a character on a video that’s being played in the background of a movie is about as obscure as obscure gets, IMO.
