10 Greatest Comedic Cameos That Dominated Their Respective Films
8. Mike Tyson The Hangover (2009)
No one could have predicted the massive success that The Hangover would have; turning into one of the highest grossing trilogies of all time. The Hangover made household names out of its three leads, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis), all wandering around Las Vegas with reckless abandon and many comedic hijinks. Oh yeah, not to mention rave reviews and boatloads of cash. While the first film had many great moments and jokes throughout, one of the best ones was Mike Tyson playing himself. Fearing the wrath of Tyson, 'The Wolfpack' has to somehow manage to get his tiger from their hotel room back to his mansion. But none of that happens before Tyson sings "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins and knocks out Alan out cold with one solitary punch. Tyson was so popular in the first film that he was brought back for the end of the second, with his iconic facial tattoo also a prominent joke involving Stu on their second party bender in Bangkok.
