Here's a list of infamous cameos that I feel are either awkward, unnecessary or just plain weird! Here they are in no particular order, please enjoy and feel free to add your own:
1. Lex and Tim
(The Lost World Jurassic Park - 1997)
Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) bumps into Lex and Tim (Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello) at the Hammond mansion during a reshuffle of INGEN's leadership. Not only are the characters a little uneasy about their surroundings, but this momentary reunion reeks of redundancy; Goldblum phones in some of his bumbling, confused banter, while the kids seem to wonder why the hell they were brought in for a fleeting acknowledgement of the original film.
2. George Lucas (Beverly Hills Cop 3 - 1994)

Damn George! Who did you owe a favour to? Wasn't there anybody else capable of uttering a half-assed"hey!!!" during Axl Foley's commandeering of an amusement park ride? This odd moment is the only thing I remember from this forgettable sequel to a sequel.
3. Burt Reynolds (Smokey and the Bandit III)

Jeez Burt, better late than never right??? Anybody else feel stiffed by having the main star make a 90 second appearance towards the end? One one hand, its a nice little moment of retrospect, but what was with Jerry Reid morphing into the Bandit? oh, that and the additional three and a half minutes additional footage of Burt in the TV version???...ah...need we go there?
4. Mark Hamill – (Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back - 2001)

Ah, Mark...I just hope the studio pulled up at your house with a dumptruck full of money to get you out of bed for this!
5. Van Damme (Breakin - 1984)

Not really a cameo, but after JCVD's rise to fame its hysterical to look back on this goofy gig as an extra in Breakin' and wonder why his spandex bobbling ass is there?
6. Al Pachino - Gigli
Guess we gotta pay the bills, hey Al? Al shows up late in the piece and, man...I just feel tired even thinking about this film; Al was definitely a waste of talent in this train wreck.
