20 Recent Movie Cameos NOBODY Saw Coming

19. Dave Bautista - The Naked Gun

The Naked Gun crams an absolutely ludicrous number of gut-busting gags into its svelte 85-minute runtime, and one of its best comes right at the end when Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) finally takes on antagonist Richard Cane (Danny Huston).

As the two talk tough before throwing down, Liam Neeson is randomly replaced with Dave Bautista, who continues to read Drebin's lines like it's the most natural thing in the world.

After a beat, a toilet flushes nearby and Neeson emerges from his apparent bathroom break, thanking Dave for filling in all while Dave laments that he messed up some of the lines.

And to add another hilarious cherry on top, Big Dave then gets attacked by a violent mob nearby, all while screaming "I'm not even in this movie!"

Comedy cameos often succeed on the strength of how totally unexpected they are, and it's fair to say that nobody saw this one coming.
