Director Cameos


Just watched this again last night--haven't seen it for over 10 years.
It's still a strong movie--and very "80s!"

How many director cameos can you name?
Paul Mazursky, Amy Heckerling, Jonathan Demme, Landis of course, Roger Vadim (although he's not a cameo since he gets a billing--I think Mazursky got a billing too), Paul Bartel--any others?


reply

Don Siegel, Lawrence Kasdan and Amy Heckerling. Jim Henson too, if he counts.

reply

David Cronenberg.

He's not a director, but Rick Baker is in it, too. And while he wasn't a director at the time, Dan Ackroyd went on to direct Nothing But Trouble. But we won't hold that against him.

And Frank Oz gets name-checked at the airport when the PA pages a "Mr. Frank Oznowicz," which is his real name.

reply

Henson directed Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, so I would say yes.
