At first I thought the Uncle Sam poster at the end of Captain America was an aged Steve Rogers/Chris Evans in a different patriotic outfit for the sake of the movie but after checking all Uncle Sam posters pretty much look like an aged Chris Evans.
 
When I saw Avengers for a second time, there's a shawarma store right by Iron Man after he takes out a Leviathan.
 
Hadn't seen Malibu's Most Wanted in a long time that I happened to catch it on TV the other day and didn't notice Kal Penn and Nick Swardson were in the movie.
 
In Tron Legacy, when Sam gets his new outfit he has a lightcycle handle in his hip pocket from the very start. He even has it when meeting CLU, but in the arena scene it's missing when he's given a new one. Seems odd they would take it away from him just to give one back right away.
 
Kirk Lazarus tells Jeff Portnoy to get in the helicopter "A.S.A.F.P." during the first scene of Tropic Thunder.

Swardson helped write the movie, too.
 
Just caught Tony planting the decryption device on another viewing of The Avengers.
 
Sully from Commando was T'Bird in The Crow,Bill Paxton&The native american actor from the Renegade TV show made tiny cameos in Commando!!
 
Just read that James Marsters turns 50 this year.

That **** makes me feel old... :(
 
The characters of Blade Runner are primarily shot through extreme close-ups, making the film a Voight Kampff test itself. We, the audience, play Blade Runner, but it is not our job to determine who is a Replicant; that information is already given to us. We are to determine the differences between man and machine by gauging their emotional responses. By the end, the point is made that humans and Replicants aren't so different.

Wow, that is right. Pretty awesome.

Having watched Blade Runner for the first time on Blu-Ray, there were two things that stuck out for me:

1. It's a beautiful, beautiful film that VHS and even DVD could never do justice to.
2. All of the replicants eyes in the film kind of light up during those extreme closeups. Their pupils are reflective. I don't think I saw any of the humans pupils that looked like that.
 
There's an homage to The Searchers in the beginning of Inglourious Basterds.
 
Speaking of The Searchers, the sidekick in that movie was young Captain Christopher Pike
 
Just found out that Robert De Niro has been killed off in 14 movies. That's the most of any actor.
 
I think Sean Bean has him beat.

^You could add The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to that list as well if you want to count video games. I think that death is the coolest though.

He turns into the avatar of Akatosh, a giant glowing dragon, to defeat the Daedric prince Mehrunes Dagon. When he wins, he turns into a giant statue.

It actually was on the list but, being a video game, I took it off.

Didn't even realize Game of Thrones wasn't on it.
 
Sean Bean is a living avatar of movie death. His death reel on youtube is both tragic and hilarious.
And speaking of Game of Thrones, I just now realized the dude who plays King Robert was in A Knight's Tale. Usually I pick up on that stuff, but I didn't realize it until I saw A Knight's Tale again yesterday.
 
and Game of Thrones

Yeah, but EVERYONE and their mother knows about that one.:o

He was also the dad on Still Standing and Fred Flintstone in Viva Rock Vegas. It was quite a dramatic shift for me to watch him as this boozing, ****ing king.

I always thought Alan Tudyk was British because of A Knight's Tale and that when I saw him in Serenity he was doing an American accent.

Nope, he was born and raised in Texas.:dry:
