Considering that Loggia not only passed away last December and was suffering from Alzheimer's since 2010, few expected him to show up at all, but he gets a few seconds of screen time to basically wave at the audience and move on.

It was a nice, unexpected moment, even if ultimately it represented the movie's desire to shove as much fan-service on screen as possible.
