Best 5 Minute Movie Characters

[EliSnow]

Today on the Ron & Fez show, the boys talked about some of the great "five minute" appearances by characters in movies. One example was Christopher Walken's limited role in True Romance.

What are some of your favorite characters who appeared briefly (a scene or two) in movie history?

[mikeyboy]

My pick came up on the air quickly in the discussion -- Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross.

[ANC]

I'm going with Alfred Molina in Boogie Nights

[SuperKarateMonkeyDeathFez]

Steve Buscemi as "Mink" in Miller's Crossing.

Hell, the Coen Brothers' films are typically packed with great 5 minutes or less characters.

[donnie_darko]

zeus in batman......

[EliSnow]

I've got a bunch, but one is Gene Hackman in Young Frankenstein.

[denko]

i was surprised nobody mentioned tarantino's spot in pulp fiction. i was all geared up to hear dave's impression "i know its good coffee jules.."

and chris rock in i'm gonna get you sucka "how much for one rib?"

[disneyspy]

William Hurt was nominated for an Oscar for his 5 minutes in A History of Violence. He was good, but not Oscar good.

You could die, Joey. You could die.

I love Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins as Carmine Falcone. Really the Batman reboot should've been more mob focused like some of the Loeb/Sale stuff.

[jetdog]

Pagoda, Royal Tennebaums/ Kumar, Bottle Rocket

[drjoek]

Nice Guy Eddie. Boba Fett

[Hottub]

Winston Wolf was a great character.

well, other than the fact that it's a horrible cameo, and Ron would have yelled at the caller for mentioning it...

I'm okay with merging them, but maybe we wouldn't since this is a thread about what the boys were talking about.

I'll leave it to mikey.

If we are going to play the Pulp Fiction game, we should go no further than Christopher Walken:

Or Frank Whaley:

[Freakshow]

so, basically any 5 minute part in Pulp Fiction is better than Quentin Tarrantino's part...


My favorite director-as-actor appearance less than 5 mintues is Martin Scorcese in Quiz Show.

[midwestjeff]

Paulo in Caddyshack.

[Furtherman]

Tom Arnold in Austin Powers.

[JAH1013]

Thank you Eli, I'm still learning.

This mother f-ing red X is driving me crazy! All I want to do is add a picture of a nice rack! Miss Stein had a 5 minute Oscar-worthy performance and her breasts should get a little credit.

Son of a bitch, I give up! Picture that red X as a some 38DD's in a 34C bra.

[Name]

Rodney Dangerfield in Natural Born Killers and Sam Kinison in Back to School were pretty memorable. And have to agree with a couple others - Tarantino was brutal in Pulp Fiction

[ToiletCrusher]

I though Tom Cruise in tropic thunder was pretty funny.

Some sites don't let you directly link to another site. Best to save the pic and rehost on a site like tinypic.com. She did have a great rack.. and this was the pre boob job days so these were huge.

The Big Lebowski is full of them: The Jesus (who you don't fuck with), The Big Lebowski himself (get a job, sir!), his assistant Brandt (Mr. Lebowski has to be going now), Jackie Treehorn, all those nihilists, including Flea.

And some guy in the middle who calls himself a "video artist" whose name eludes me now.

I didn't hear that part of the show, but I know this hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread.

This discussion begins and ends with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in True Romance.

[Bob Impact]

That's mine too, goddamn I love that man.
