Transformers: Age Of Extinction – 19 Easter Eggs & References

13. Zou Shiming Cameo

Transformers Age Of Extinction DParamount PicturesIt seems like everything Chinese wanted to be a part of the China-set third act of Age of Extinction, and they even managed to throw a sporting hero into the mix. When Joshua and Li Bingbing's Su Yueming are about to take the elevator, they're attacked by a corrupt CIA agent. Su begins fighting him, and when things don't get in her way, a man standing in the elevator, with his hands full with shopping bags, decides to help take care of business, beating the living snot out of the bad guy. The guy then helps Su up and walks off without saying a word. Is this dude just a random passer-by? Nope, he's Zou Shiming, China€™s first Olympic Gold Medalist Boxer and therefore the country's most successful amateur boxer in history. Considering he's just credited as "Elevator Boxer", we like to think that Shiming was essentially playing himself, and why not? It may have been a ham-fisted cameo, but at least it was pretty bada**.
