1. Mike Tyson - The Hangover
The heavyweight champion of cameos delivers a knockout comedy performance in
The Hangover. Tyson stepped into the acting ring and has shown no sign of throwing in the towel, going for another round in
The Hangover Part 2. Now that Ive exhausted my arsenal of shocking boxing puns, Ill get down to business.
The Hangover taught me many things about Mike Tyson that I would never have known before. For instance, whod have guessed The Baddest Man on the Planet was a Phil Collins fan? Tyson marks the beginning of his cameo with a frankly terrible rendition of In The Air Tonight before delivering a mean right hook to the side of Alans head. Tysons performance is right on the money; he doesnt overplay it or let his egotistical boxing persona run wild. It goes to show that a well-placed cameo could be an inspired move and be the cherry on the cinematic cake. However, like Beckham in
Goal!, it could be a woeful move and be a big messy turd on the cake. But one things for sure, whether good or bad, everyone loves a cameo.
