I thought I'd start a thread on wrestler cameos in flicks.
One of my favorites is Big Show in Waterboy.
Captain Insano shows no mercy. ;D

Hunter was in Blade 3, and even landed a AA Spinebuster on Snipes. And Hogan as 'Thunderlips' in Rocky 3. I just saw it for the first time last week, and Hogan showed more technical prowress and charisma in that segment than in most of his wrestling career.  |

Taker in Suburban Commando. Nice job as the helium voiced bounty hunter.
Rob Van Dam was in a martial arts movie called Bloodmoon, he gets into a scuffle with the killer and loses via neck snapage.
He also played a mercenary in another martial arts film "Superfights". Either that or his character's name was Mercenary. I can't remember.
Finally, RVD had a supporting actor role in Black Mask II: City of Masks.
Edge was in a Highlander movie. [Edit: beaten to the punch on this one]
Mick Foley was in "Big Money Hustlas." He mentions it in one of his books. The movie that got him his SAG membership.
Andre the Giant was in "Conan the Destroyer" as a big guy. Shocking, I know.
Bobby "The Brain" and Mean Gene had cameo appearances as announcers (Howard and Bob) for a game show in the future for the film "Timemaster"
Hulk Hogan made a quick appearence in Leslie Neilson's James Bond spoof "Spy Hard." He tags in when Neilson is trapped and battles a guard. The guard chokes him into a corner and Dr. Joyce Brothers tags in as Hogan leaves, disgusted. Dr. Brothers decimates the guard. Quite funny.
That is all I can think of, as of right now.

Yeah, it was him. Hm, never woulda thought that. He seems to be doing good lately in the movie-side, I guessh e's really cast-able. Eric Bana saved that movie though, god it had an awful cast. Anything with Orlando 'I make one face' Bloom is awful.

Anything with Orlando 'I make one face' Bloom is awful. He's actually in Tony Jaa's (Meant to be next Bruce Lee) new movie. I'm surprised about how well Jones is doing with all these film roles he seems to crop up in |

Anything with Orlando 'I make one face' Bloom is awful. Hah, exactly. He's Legolas in EVERY MOVIE. Subdued and noble. Perfect example of a person who gets pushed solely because they're good looking. I was watching Pirates (the first one) today, and he's just so f***in' dry as an actor. It took Depp just to equal the charisma scale there. |
