10 Insane Movie Cameos Everybody Forgets About

After the success of Holy Grail, nobody took Eric Idle's throwaway comment about the next Monty Python film being able the life of Jesus.

So imagine how surprised everyone was when they actually were going to make one, not quite about the lord and saviour, but certainly lampooning him and religion in general.

The problem is, as Kevin Smith will attest with Dogma, is mocking religion doesn't tend to sit well with producers and investors. It becomes a hot potato that nobody wants to be burnt by. Unless it does well, of course.

But up stepped former Beatles superstar, George Harrison, who started a production company to the extent of £3 million of his own money (about £18m by today's standard) to get the film going, as no big name was willing to gamble with the subject matter.

So, they gave him a cameo. Which is nice.
