10 Iconic Film Performances With Hardly Any Screen Time
3. Christopher Walken Pulp Fiction
Christopher Walken is known to pop up randomly in films in brief but scene-stealing cameos, from his memorable turn as mob boss Vincenzo Coccotti in True Romance to his deadpan performance as Diane Keatons weird car crash fetishist brother way back when in Annie Hall. Hell, he was even brilliant saying nothing at all while dancing around an empty hotel lobby in Fatboy Slims Weapon of Choice music video. But if we had to choose just one of his legendary cameos as his best, its got to be his role as Captain Koons in Pulp Fiction in an awkwardly heart-warming flashback scene to Butchs youth in which he delivers the lads dead prisoner of war dads watch to him after telling him it had been smuggled in his arse for two years, that is. Its a bizarre scene with equally bizarre dialogue, but Walken dispatches the monologue perfectly with deadpan, offbeat brilliance.
