Most impressively, the film also boasts more cameos than two viewings of Around the World in 80 Days. Billy Zane, Andy Dick in a fat-suit and David Bowie make the meatiest appearances. (When Bowie walks onscreen, the camera freezes the frame and scrawls his name across the screen, just as Mark Hammill is treated in Kevin Smith’s Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back—What’s the deal here?
