Last night I got around to watching the _Entourage_ movie. There were so many cameos that I missed some (that I saw in the credits.) I can’t remember another movie with so many, but I’m sure there are some. What are some others? Here is a link to the cast from IMDB: [Entourage (2015) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1674771/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm) ---

The original “[Around the World in 80 Days](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048960/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm)” was famous for its cameos. 1992’s “[The Player](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105151/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm)” had a huge number, over 60 actors playing themselves. 1963’s “[It’s Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057193/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm)” is another candidate. But less than the other 2, but adds in a huge cast. So a famous cast of 30+ and 40+ cameos. * * * * * * You’ll have to compare these 3 to _Entourage_. ---

Especially the first one, but I believe in the end, less than all 3 I listed. I checked this once for an older thread. 1979’s “[The Muppet Movie](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079588/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm)” ---

Almost everyone in **Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back** besides Jay and Silent Bob are basically cameos. Granted, many of them are reprising or at least referencing characters they played in other Kevin Smith movies, but also included the likes of Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, George Carlin, Wes Craven, Tracy Morgan, and others. It was clearly “peak Kevin Smith” era and people wanted in, but that all quickly disappeared not long after this film. ---

The 1991 Hong Kong film [The Banquet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Banquet_(1991_film)) contained something like a hundred cameos from well-known actors, some playing themselves, others in minor roles: Eric Tsang, Richard Ng, Michelle Reis, Joey Wong, both Tony Leungs, Sammo Hung and so forth. It was a “charity movie” to raise money for flood victims that year. Kind of a weird phenonemon (charity movies, not floods) that I don’t know I’ve ever seen outside of Hong Kong cinema. ---

Kind of similar idea was [Hollywood Canteen](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036922/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm) of 1944. 40% of the ticket sales went to fund The Hollywood Canteen for servicemen during WWII. The cast was huge and mostly cameos. I find it funny that Leonard from Community (Richard Erdman) was in it as an 18 year old. Not one of the cameos though. Just a miscellaneous Soldier on Deck. ---

Interesting, had no idea. Another HK charity movie, if memory serves, was _Twin Dragons_, the Jackie Chan flick in which he plays identical twins separated at birth (lots of unfunny Corsican Brothers hijinks ensue), made to raise funds for a new Directors’ Guild building. Not as cameo-heavy as _The Banquet_: most of them are directors as befits the fundraising. John Woo is a priest in a wedding scene; you can also spot Wong Kar-Wai, Lau Kar-Leung, Kirk Wong and Ringo Lam elsewhere. ---

**What Exit** already took the really good and obvious ones. What constitutes a “cameo”? The following movies have a huge number of stars, often in minimal parts **The Story of Mankind** (1957) – also some of the looniest casting. The Marx Brothers are there, but not together. Chico plays a monk (who talks with Columbus), Groucho plays Peter Minuit, cheating the Indians out of Manhattan, and Harpo plays Sir Isaac Newton. Really.
