Having watched both Trading Places and Coming to America, I immediately recognized Randolph and Mortimer Duke. It's funny that Eddie Murphy, who took part in the Dukes losing all their money, was also instrumental in helping them get some of it back.
You got the include Noel Gugliemi as Mexican gangster HECTOR. He has played Hector, 9 times and has 5 roles as a character named Hector listed in his upcoming roles.
Tarantino movies have a bunch of these. Some of them weren't named in dialogue or the credits but Tarantino has confirmed several connections. The only one I can think of that isn't here is that the organ player in Kill Bill is Jules from Pulp Fiction. Jules said he was going to "walk the earth" or something like that, and he eventually ended up playing organ for that church in the middle of nowhere.
Han from the Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift first appears in a movie called Better Luck Tomorrow. Both movies are directed by the same person. In Better Luck Tomorrow Han is a chain smoker. By the time he appears in Tokyo Drift he is obsessively eating potato chips in an effort to quit smoking.
The actor that played Suge Knight in Straight Out of Compton, played him in Surviving Compton Machete was the same character from Spy Kids Really obscure: Full Moon's Dollman (Tim Thomerson) played the same character in Bad Channels
I love that small but also great scene from "Coming To America". As a big fan of Trading Places I caught that right away when watching it in cinema back in the day: "Mortimer....we're back!"
I just watched Collateral for the first time a few weeks ago and I thought it was weird that Jason Statham had a random cameo in the beginning. I thought maybe he had a bigger part in the film that got cut for whatever reason. Now it all makes more sense!
You showed Tokyo Drift but didn’t mention how Han’s first appearance was in Better Luck Tomorrow, a non-FF movie? That’s the best one if you’ve seen both movies.
You could have made it ten with Sean Connery. He played the same character 'Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell' in both 'The Presidio' and then the Billy Crystal movie 'Memories of Me'.
The fact that optimus prime and Jason might exist in the same universe is one of my favourite facts to bring up when watching either film its such a gut punch to anyone who hears it for the first time
jason was in transformers but they just never stopped and camped. so all you ever see of him is a moving pixel in the distance of every outdoor shot. :)
Comedic cameos list could go on and on. Lets not forget Martin Sheen's Hot Shots Part Deux cameo in which his boat (from Apocalypse Now) travels past Charlie Sheen's, with the dual comment as passing, "I loved you in 'Wallstreet.'" With Sheen's character narrating a quote from 'Platoon' just prior to the interaction. Triple reference.
@@donaldwiggins9890 both British intelligence spies. And I believe around the time when his character in the rock is first imprisoned is shortly after his last film as James bond. I believe, I could be wrong.
One that is just a fan theory, but it works quite well and I really like the theory so: Sean Connery in James Bond and The Rock. The fan theory is that Connery's Bond has been captured and disavowed by the MI6 and the british government. It also ties into the fan theory that "James Bond" is a codename used for 007, which is why he has a different name in The Rock
For some classic movies, James Cagney played famed Broadway composer/actor George M. Cohen in "Yankee Doodle Dandy". Years later he reprised the role for a brief scene in Bob Hope's "The Seven Little Foys", and even got to show off some tapdancing skills.
Jamie Foxx was supposed to be in the Hateful Eight, but they couldn’t make the character fit, instead Samuel Jackson played a different role than the one intended for Django. My favorite Django appearance however is in the comic book Django/Zorro. Maybe some day the film will get made
Rudolf Martin played Dracula in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5; Episode 1 and in the movie Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula, in the same year, no less!
I love lists like this. The Casper appearance of Ray doesn’t fit in it as it was clearly a comedic cameo no one missed. The point of this list is circumstances where creators saw an opportunity breathe that extra bit of realism into a project by having characters reappear in other films portrayed by the same actor. A list where the same character is portrayed by a different actor would be interesting as well. Recognition helps us have a little more appreciation for our media.
Jamal woolard actually played the role of biggie 3 times!hes also in the movie city of lies the johnny depp movie where depp plays the detective investigating biggie and tupac's murders! you see his silhouette when biggie gets into the van before he gets shot but they dont show it in the johnny depp movie~
7:18 and sticking with the world of hip-hop, the actor who played Suge Knight in “Straight Outta Compton” reprised the role for the Michel’le made-for-tv biopic “Surviving Compton”
@@gohanthegoat4203 Hard disagree. Ghostbusters is a Bill Murray movie. Akroyd's character could have been played by just about anybody. The Blues Brothers was a perfect blending of the two leads. Also, a much better movie.
@@rpriske I'm going to have to hard disagree with that. Ghostbusters has an incredible cast, and all of the ghostbusters are equally iconic in their respective roles. Harold Ramis as Egon and Dan Akroyd as Ray are just as central to that film's relationship dynamics (what makes its comedy work) as Murray. True, anyone could have played the role that Akroyd played, but no one could have played it _as well._ The enthusiasm he had for it really shows in the final product, and that was no doubt fed by his real-life obsession with the paranormal and extraterrestrial. Ray and Dan really aren't so different. Akroyd may as well have been playing himself. And I'll say this. Ghostbusters is already better known than The Blues Brothers, and that gap in recognition will only widen as time goes on. I guarantee you that in 30 years (if people still remember Akroyd), Ghostbusters will be remembered as his definitive film. Commercially, critically, and perhaps even performance-wise. It's a fantastic film that innovated multiple genres and continues to stand the tests of time despite its shoestring budget and production issues. Bill Murray having more screentime changes none of that. If it did, Harold Ramis wouldn't be most well-remembered as Egon.
Rob Schneider arguably had one the best moments in Big Daddy; as a kid learning to read "Hip, hip pop, hip pop otamus" was the funniest thing and even though him learning to read as an adult was different than a kid learning it was an ice breaker for me to get past sounding silly learning how to break down bigger words
Isaiah Whitlock's detective character, Agent Flood in The 25th Hour, Red Hook Summer and She Hate Me. Jay and Silent Bob in Scream 3, The Flash(series) and the View Askewverse. How could you not put Noel Gugliemi who plays Hector in like 10 different films. No doubt they're the same character lol
Jackie Brown isn't in any way underappreciated; it's generally regarded as one of his best films, if not the best. It was underappreciated when it was released, but that was nearly thirty years ago.
@@stevenjoyce421 Given what you've just written, telling someone else to chill and calling them Karen is the height of hypocrisy. Not that I'd expect a retard to understand the irony of that.
We're not talking among Tarantino die hard fans. We're talking about people in general. The general audience doesn't even know that movie exists, chill Karen.
Thomas Jane appears as the Punisher in Spider-Man 2. After leaving John Jameson at the alter she runs past him in the park. This was meant to show that when the Punisher leaves Miami at the end of his movie he ends up in New York.
I wondered about that last one every time i watched Coming to America. Ive never seen Trading Places but i thought it was odd how those two acted in that scene.
I don't think you have to be super observant to spot the Duke brothers in Coming to America. I noticed that they were the same characters from Trading Places when the movie came out... when I was about 8 years old. Granted, not every 8 year old had HBO and a TV of their own in the bedroom.
Throwing in a 3.5 list, since it’s the same film - A Million Ways to Die in the West had a cameo of Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown, attempting to hide the DeLorean
Dwayne The Rock Johnson / same character in every movie he’s been in.. Kevin Heart, Ryan Reynolds / ever since he made Deadpool one, and two a hit, he’s been the same character in every single movie he’s been in since. Vin Diesel - pick one off his movies and you’ll see the same character in every movie there after, Mike Epps - same character every movie.
I know this doesn't count but actor Tom Sizemore played cops in two Tarantino scripted films...Jack Scagnatti in "Natural Born Killers" and Cody Nicholson in "True Romance". Considering the fate of both characters there may have been some reincarnation going on... or the characters were twins separated at birth. LOL.
Rob Schnieder’s “you can do it” character was in the movies The Waterboy, Little Nicky, 50 First Dates, The Longest Yard, and Bedtime Stories
And it's basically the height of his "comedy"
Came to say this! Half his career was replaying the same 2 characters in Adam Sandler movies, it seems!
and Adam Sandler do the same character for his movie Animal!!!
Exactly what I was gunna say
Haters gonna hate, dudes loaded with generational money while you potatoes are criticizing his movies on a top 10 😂🤡💩
How can you forget Robert Patrick as the T-1000 in T2, Last Action Hero and Wayne’s World?!
Not sure about Last Action Hero if it's the same character or not. Same with Wayne's World, but it is little more obvious he is the same character.
@@anhurtorrez in Wayne’s world, he literally shows a picture of John Conner to Wayne, so it’s the same character lol
@@averageant7173 he is only credited as Bad Cop though, but I do know what you mean.
I was going to say this one - classic !
@@anhurtorrez it's 100% him in Last Action Hero, has the same cop uniform and he has the same angry expression lol
You also forgot another Million Ways to die in the West cameo: Christopher Lloyd as Doc! DeLorean and all.
Having watched both Trading Places and Coming to America, I immediately recognized Randolph and Mortimer Duke. It's funny that Eddie Murphy, who took part in the Dukes losing all their money, was also instrumental in helping them get some of it back.

My favorite appearance of Johnny Silverhand is in Parenthood.
Nah but really, he's genuinely a lot more versatile than people seem to even realize.
Woah.
Except for bill and ted and parenthood
RIP Michael Parks, he was an awesome actor. He was awesome on Red State
thats one fucked up movie lmao

Damon Herriman played Charles Manson in both the film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and in the TV series Mindhunter.
How about machete in Spy Kids movies too
Christopher Lloyd also played Doc Brown in "A Million Ways to Die in the West"
I just watched Out of Sight and Jackie Brown yesterday, I love Elmore Leonard based movies and shows.
Danny Trejo as Machete in the Machete series and Spy Kids was one I never picked up on until rewatching Spy Kids with my son recently
Can't believe this is the only mention of this. I love that fact!

What about Brendan Fraser playing Link in Encino Man & his short cameo in Son-In-Law?
Randolph and Mortimer Duke - at the time of the films' release, we ALL caught that one.
Uncle Machete from the Spy Kids movies is the very same Machete from the Machete movies. Surprised that wasn't on this list o.o
I know 4 of these, Dan, Jamie, the 2 guys from Tading Places, and the sheriff who passed away (can't remember the actors names though)

Malcolm McDowell as Mick Travis in “If…,” “ Lucky Man!,” and “Britannia Hospital.”
You Missed Sung Kang as Han Lue in Better Luck Tomorrow And The Fast And Furious Franchise.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the fan theory that Reginald VelJohnson plays the same character in numerous tv shows and films
Did Stan Lee knew himself he played himself?
so if Trent is indeed the same character, that means Friday the 13th and Transformers happen in the same world, crazy
This list technically, should have a ton of super hero films in it.
About the transformers bit, I didn't know that Michael bay directed the 2009 remake of F13 nor that Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester) was in it
Vin Diesel because he plays the same role in every movie and even when not filming anything, he stays in character
John Wayne played the same character in every movie he was in.
Where is Hector?

Ben Stiller reprised his character Hal from Happy Gilmore in Hubby Halloween
