7. Sam Raimi Just Loves Bruce Campbell
Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell were childhood friends, shooting Super 8 films together, so understandably their careers started in a similar vein, working together on the Evil Dead trilogy. As Raimi rose into blockbuster territory, Campbell remained in schlocky B-movies. But, always the chivalrous one, Raimi didn't forget his friend, bringing Campbell into many of his increasingly high profile films. Most notable among these are the Spider-Man films, where Campbell each time plays someone minorly influential in Peter Parkers journey (some fans even joked he was long gestating super villain in disguise). But no matter what film it was in, it highlights Raimis humility; even with all his success hes still got time to honour his friends. What makes this a lot less noticeable is not only that Campbell's star has never left the realms of gore hounds, but that it's not overly consistent; Raimi couldn't use his friend in Drag Me To Hell due to scheduling conflicts. Raimis brother Ted has also received cameos in many of his films, and even though hes nowhere near as cool as Bruce Campbell, it shows once again Raimi hasn't forgotten his roots.
