One And Done
Proving the old adage that less certainly can be more, these stars showed up in a movie, delivered one line, and were on their way. Many leave quite a memorable mark on the film. Do you remember...
Bill Murray: Dumb And Dumber To (2014)
Don't feel bad if you missed it. Murray is in a full yellow hazmat suit making crystal illicit substances as the character Icepick—when Jeff Daniel's asks him how he's doing, he responds: "Best day ever. Greatest day of my life, really".
Universal, Dumb and Dumber To (2014)
Glenn Close: Hook (1991)
Again, if you missed this one don't feel bad. Close is in full bearded makeup when Captain Hook sends her to the Boo Box. She has a total of 15 words in the exchange.
Martin Sheen: Hot Shots: Part Deux (1993)
Martin Sheen is standing on a boat Apocalypse Now-style when he passes his son Charlie Sheen. They both look and point at each other—and simultaneously deliver the line, "I loved you in Wall Street". Now, that's good stuff right there.
Twentieth Century, Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993)
Cheech Marin: Ghostbusters II (1989)
It might just be the best line in the movie. As the ghostly Titanic comes into the docks in New York City, Cheech (as the dock supervisor) looks at it and says, "Well, better late than never".
Columbia, Ghostbusters II (1989)
Huey Lewis: Back To The Future (1985)
Not only did he write a couple classic songs for the film, Huey Lewis also shows up in the movie as a high school teacher in charge of the talent show. What does this rock legend have to say to Marty's band after their audition? "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud".
Universal, Back to the Future (1985)
John Hurt: Spaceballs (1987)
"Oh no. Not again!" says Hurt—as an alien bursts out of his stomach. A wonderful Alien callback by Mel Brooks. And speaking of Mel Brooks...
Marcel Marceau: Silent Movie (1976)
In 1976, Mel Brooks made an almost completely silent movie with only one word of dialogue. That word was "non", and in a brilliantly-comic twist, it was spoken by the great French mime, Marcel Marceau.
Crossbow Productions, Silent Movie (1976)
Brad Pitt: Deadpool 2 (2018)
Pitt is literally invisible in the movie as Vanisher—until he gets electrocuted and utters his line, "rrrrrrrrgggggrgrgrgrggg" (or whatever sound someone being electrocuted would make).
Twentieth Century, Deadpool 2 (2018)
Hugh Jackman: X-Men: First Class (2011)
Jackman came back to sit in a bar and tell a young Charles Xavier and Magneto to "Go F yourself".
Twentieth Century, X-Men: First Class
Charlton Heston: Wayne's World 2 (1993)
When Wayne asks for a "better actor" for the small role of the gas station attendant, it's Heston who is brought in to do the scene justice. Okay, so he has a little more than just one line. But his short monologue is delivered with such passion that it brings Wayne to tears.
Paramount, Wayne's World 2 (1993)
Elton John: The Country Bears (2002)
Before Elton can tell the bears who he is, they assume he is a gardener and brush him off.
Walt Disney, The Country Bears (2002)
Bob Hope: Spies Like Us (1985)
Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd are in the middle of the desert when a golf ball comes flying into their tent. Following the ball into the tent is Bob Hope, who asks, "Mind if I play through?"
Warner Bros., Spies Like Us (1985)
Bob Saget: Half Baked (1998)
When Dave Chapelle goes to rehab, there's Saget—telling him that he basically doesn't have a real addiction.
Henry Wrinkler: Little Nicky (2000)
Henry Wrinkler/The Fonz shows up, says "good evening!" and is covered in bees.

Rob Schneider: The Waterboy (1998)
Of course we're talking about: "You can do it!"

Rob Schneider: 50 First Dates (2004)
Once again... "You can do it!"
Columbia, 50 First Dates (2004)
Rob Schneider: More...
Schneider was also there in Little Nicky, The Longest Yard, and Bedtime Stories to yell out his now-famous catchphrase.
Avery Pix, Little Nicky (2000)
Adam Sandler: The Animal (2001)
Things were reversed in 2001 when Sandler showed up in a quick cameo in Schneider's The Animal to give him a "You can do it!".
Revolution Studios, The Animal (2001)
Jonah Hill: Django Unchained (2012)
Hill's KKK character rips his mask trying to make the eye holes bigger and then asks, "Did anyone bring any extra bags?"
Columbia, Django Unchained (2012)
Peter Jackson: The Frighteners (1996)
Jackson appeared briefly in his own film to give Michael J Fox the finger and swear at him.
Universal, The Frighteners (1996)
Mark Holton: The Naked Gun (1988)
Holton had appeared in Teen Wolf and Pee-wee's Big Adventure prior to his hysterical cameo moment in The Naked Gun, in which he yells out "Hey, it's Enrico Pallazzo!" If you haven't seen the movie, trust us—it's a really funny line. Also...go watch the movie!
Paramount, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)
Estelle Reiner: When Harry Met Sally... (1989)
Yup, that was Rob Reiner's mother who said "I'll have what she's having".
Castle Rock, When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Lee Trevino: Happy Gilmore (1996)
Did Grizzly Adams have a beard? Yes, he did. How do we know? Because Lee Travino told us so in his quick Happy Gilmore cameo.
Universal, Happy Gilmore (1996)
Michael Bay: Bad Boys II (2003)
When Smith and Lawrence try to commandeer his car—Bay looks at them, says "Freak", and drives off.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: The Rundown (2003)
"Have fun", he tells Dwayne Johnson as they walk past each other in a bar. Many saw this as Arnie passing the action torch to the The Rock.
