when there is no more room in hell
the dead
we’ll walk the earth look closely and
you might catch a couple of familiar
faces and this thing with Richie I mean
Christ that was a bloody awful welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
original actor appearances in remakes
take care of yourself for this list
we’re taking a look at remakes or
reboots of movies we’re in an actor that
had previously starred in the original
appears against this our strength means
nothing they don’t necessarily have to
play the same character as long as they
make an appearance I didn’t betray you
kal-el we’re excluding Hugh Jackman from
x-men first class however as it’s not a
full-on reboot it’s primarily considered
a prequel that maintains some continuity
within the rest of the x-men series you
saw also this may be a bit spoilery
depending on how surprised you like to
be a cameos so a spoiler alert maybe in
order my car
where did you
number 10 Michael Caine get Carter small
well wasn’t very fresh off appearances
in Alfie the Italian Job and a few other
notable films Michael Caine was the
natural choice to play Jack Carter a
hardened gangster who investigates his
brother’s death how was that for you
this evening what is it my brother Frank
while working on the film the actor drew
on his own experiences to play the
criminal with a hard edge as he come
from a blue-collar background where many
of his friends were involved in law
breaking please cut that’s mana my
father was my brother and he was
murdered all set when the film was
remade with Sylvester Stallone’s drawing
as Carter it seemed only natural to pay
homage to the original and so Michael
Caine was brought back to play another
important role this time around Brumby
I’m not turning around
suit yourself
number nine Christopher Reeve Smallville
I don’t have all the answers I’m still
in the same journey as you are Kyle
after his career-defining run as
Superman Christopher Reeve suffered a
horse riding accident and tragically
became a quadriplegic
hi there nothing wrong with the elevator
however that was not the end of his
association with the Superman franchise
I would go bananas in a week oh can I
take the airport not unless you can fly
years later he was asked to guest star
on Smallville as dr. Virgil Swann who
helped Clark Kent understand more about
his heritage hello Clark I have been
expecting you
snippets of John Williams score from
Superman are played during some of these
scenes making for a fitting tribute to
his work as the Man of Steel and helping
him pass the cake to another generation
you must write your own destiny
number eight Paul Michael Glaser and
David sole Starsky and Hutch need to
claim to be detectives as a film the
remake of the classic detective series
stayed reasonably close to its roots
featuring familiar characters and the
Ford Torino that just screams 70s with a
lot more laps thrown in and your stock
just went up in my book my friend while
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson did a good
job with their take on Starsky and Hutch
themselves the film would be incomplete
without a shout-out to the series that
started at all and we got one with the
original TV actors both dropping in to
hand over the keys this is zebra three
we’re honest touch let’s roll I think he
means you good luck
loudly right thank you welcome
the speaking parts for the two veteran
actors helped give the remake a seal of
approval among occasions
number seven Hugh keays-byrne Mad Max
fury road the Knight Rider
Knight Rider remember him when you look
at the night sky with Tom Hardy taking
on Mel Gibson’s iconic role as the
titular badass it was up to Hugh
keays-byrne to tie the fourth outing to
the original actor his Kundalini and
Kundalini once his hand back in fury
road keays-byrne plays the big baddie
immortan joe while previously in the
first Mad Max film he’d played another
villainous character the motorcycle gang
leader with the pleasant name toecutter
my baby what do you want from me
done change the subject
Oh my roof the intervening 36 years
helped to significantly improve Kees
burns acting skills leading him to give
a memorable performance and allowing
George Miller to pay homage to the
earlier movie without Gibson just one
child Oh
back then your covert at number six
Chris Sarandon Fright Night welcome to
Fright Night in the first Fright Night
film Chris Sarandon gave II surprisingly
layered yet still bloodthirsty
performance as vampiric villain jerry
dandrige you deserve to die boy nearly
30 years later he returned but this time
the vampire gets him the hell do you
think you’re doing hey no stand the card
off in the middle of the road you got a
taillight out I can’t playing the cameo
role of JD in Fright Night 2.0 the
character’s initials are a nod to his
original character’s name who in 2011
was played by Colin Farrell staying true
to the spirit of the original with its
signature humour and horror the
inclusion of Sarandon was one way
filmmakers tried to appeal to existing
fans of the series and it worked
number five Burt Reynolds The Longest
Yard oh I’d like to play some football
fans of the 1974 film about a pro
quarterback who winds up in jail and
ends up leading a team of convicts in a
prison football game got a pleasant
surprise when Burt Reynolds showed up as
coach Nate Scarboro in the 2005 remake
look like if you use a little help
no offense my man but you’re a little
seasoned seasoned I’m not asking to play
I’ll coach I’m Nate Scarboro unlike some
of the other films on this list where
the actor shows up for a brief walk on
appearance
Reynolds new role is a substantial one
he stars as the coach who Corral’s the
ragtag team together and he gets a bit
rough and rowdy with the cast to boot
insisting on doing some of his own
stunts I heard you a dude no I ain’t
dead I’ve been right here rotting
waiting for a chance to get back at
those sadistic guards number four Lou
Ferrigno Hulk and The Incredible Hulk
while a lot of younger viewers might not
have seen the Green giant’s original
outing in the late 70s many might
recognize Lou Ferrigno nonetheless
thanks to his Hulk related cameos in
angley’s 2003 take Ferrigno appeared
beside Stan Lee as a tight shirt at
security guard
some concern security would it be good
morning doctor friends what security
ought to be beefed up a lot more in a
place like this and in the 2008 version
starring Ed Norton he turned up as a
security guard once again I don’t think
there’s anybody up there
oh man I’m gonna catch hell if I don’t
collect you gotta let me try of course
you might also know Ferrigno’s voice as
one of many that makes up the Hulk’s
growl in the Avengers movies that was a
small part he injects the role with real
fury and helps connect the franchise to
its roots the Hulk’s just not complete
without him you are the man god bless
you brother number three
Charlton Heston Planet of the Apes
finally really did it yo Tim Burton’s
remake of the classic a pup may have
left a lot of fans wanting more but they
were certainly satisfied with some of
the notable shoutouts to the 1968
original particularly Charlton Heston’s
performance as Zaius hey have something
to tell you since this was one of
Heston’s last film roles before his
death it’s fitting that it referenced
something from his career heyday what
you hold in your hand is the proof of
their power their power of invention
however we can’t ignore the delicious
irony that Heston himself is now
portraying one of the damn dirty Apes
get them all try hello
number two Johnny Depp 21 Jumpstreet
metropolice Jump Street division yeah he
has a Jump Street yeah yeah that’s funny
because we were actually Jump Street
what yeah oh yeah yeah
most of the cameos on this list were
designed to pay tribute to the source
material and 21 Jump Street is no
different
well for the most part bullshit
while the 80s series on which Johnny
Depp got his big break featured more
drama than comedy Depp decided that if
he were to return to the franchise he’d
like to have some fun tonight against a
lot to be afraid so once you leave me
alone all right
okay not only did he insist on having
his former co-star Peter DeLuise come
back with him he also forced writers to
kill them both off
the filmmakers obliged creating a
memorable scene that proved the
filmmakers did not need to be shackled
to the past the only approval that I
ever needed was my best friend thanks
man
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
Kelly Garrett hello Dylan don’t you have
a case to solve well I tried to outrun
my past but it caught up with me
yesterday
thank you shoot him in the head they
seem to go down permitir when you’re
shooting on a head that you come to Fort
pastor and can’t make it here we have
multiple search and rescue teams out
there and they will find it the Dead
will walk the earth look how pretty you
have gotten oh those clothes what text
and that smile Oh Marcia you are such a
beauty it seems completely impervious to
it it’s impossible to develop a base
reading I’ll have you increased the
voltage every single session yes about
25 years ago there was a man named
Wilton Knight who on his deathbed told
me one man can make a difference
I was a man number one Leonard Nimoy
Star Trek uh look uh I I don’t know you
I am spunk Leonard Nimoy had a love-hate
relationship with his most famous
character earlier in his career as
evidenced by his autobiographies I am
NOT Spock and I am Spock it is
remarkably pleasing to see you again old
friend especially after the events of
today but he softened his stance and
reprised the role of the beloved Vulcan
several times during his career but his
appearance in JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot
went beyond a mere cameo his involvement
kick-started the entire plot sure I
appreciate what you did for me today but
if you were Spock you know we’re not
friends at all you hate me you marooned
me here for mutiny he appeared briefly
in the next installment into darkness
mr. Spock
mr. Spock but sadly his death in
February 2015
means that those were some of his final
rolls but what a legacy he left that is
where I’m from Jim
the future do you agree with our list

head for like months on end glue and
