Let me know if you think of any more to add, and I'll update it if any new ones appear.

You for got Schwarzenegger! And holy shit, you know you've made it when the spellchecker ignores your name...

 

Anyway, right off the top of my head, you've got "Jingle All the Way" and "Batman and Robin". I don't remember if there were more, I'll have to look.

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

Oh, and Stallone has at least 2 with "Cobra" and "Judge Dredd". Taylor Lautner has at least 3 with the pair of "Breaking Dawn" films and "Abduction".

[sillstaw 414]

I'm not sure if the two "Twilight" movies should count as being separate movies. I mean, putting aside how they're one overstretched story, you sign on for one movie that's incredibly successful and you're almost certainly going to sign on for the sequels; it's not like they had two lapses of judgment in choosing their movies.

[Shannon 2953]

added everything I missed so far!

 

And the reason I was counting the Twilights twice is because they were two separate episodes... but I could combine them if that would be a truer representation. Anyone else have an opinion on how to count those?

They did review both of them though. I mean, I'd give Lautner the recognition before I did Billy Burke, as the movies Burke has appeared in here are movies that just happened to have Billy Burke IN them, and I don't think I could identify Burke in a police lineup if he slaughtered my family in front me while saying "I'm Billy Burke, and you might want to remember that in case you have to identify me in a police lineup". Lautner's movies were starring vehicles.

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

Is there somewhere where there's just a straight list of movies that have appeared on the site, like an episode guide or something?

[Shannon 2953]

someone made a nice imdb list that is a good reference...

 

http://www.imdb.com/list/46NeYag8T9s/

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

Dash Mihok (2): Punisher War Zone, Trespass

Cam Gigandet (2 1/2): Trespass, Burlesque, the end credits of Breaking Dawn Part 2 (bit of a stretch)

Neil Mc-Fucking-Donough (2): I Know who Killed Me, 88 Minutes (tick tock)

Hank Azaria (2): Smurfs, Godzilla

BAI LING! (2): Crank 2, Wild Wild West

Temuera Morrison (3!): Barb Wire, Speed 2, Green Lantern

 

How has there NOT been more Ron Perlman?

All updated.

 

And I was also shocked that there wasn't a second appearance of Mr. Perlman

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

Yeah, he's one of those guys that seems like he'll show up in your movie if you just ask him nicely and make him a sandwich (see also: Jackson, Samuel L.), so I'm sure we'll see the HDTGM crew tackle something else of his sooner or later whether they mean to or not.

[pepperjack 303]

Nah. Sam Jackson is not looking for a sandwich. He'll be in your movie if you let him say the f word a bunch of times.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

Nah. Sam Jackson is not looking for a sandwich. He'll be in your movie if you let him say the f word a bunch of times.

 

Preferably with "mother" in front of it as many times as possible.

[Jamie Power 224]

This isn't an actor appearing in more than one HDTGM movie, but both Devil's Advocate and Drive Angry feature a character called John Milton. Screenwriters, it seems, really enjoy demonstrating that they've heard of Paradise Lost.

[Shannon 2953]

IN THE NAME OF THE KING has given us a few more All-Stars in Ron Perlman and Jason Statham, also Leelee gets to hop a category! You go Leelee!

 

 

 

I also want some opinions about whether or not "Bad Ass" should count as a third appearance for Danny Trejo. I don't really count it as an episode, since it was really just an interview... but what do you guys think?

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

I think there needs to be some sort of membership card for inductees. They get a punch in it for every movie, and after 5 they get a free 6" sub from Quizno's or something. I think Nic Cage would really appreciate a free sandwich.

That's me. I love this podcast, so that's my way of trying to add something of value to it.

 

One thing I find interesting is how many times there are repeat actors, but not repeat directors. Joel Joel Schumacher is on there twice for Tresspass and Batman & Robin, and you could say that Bill Condon is on there 2x, but it's for two movies in the same series, but almost every other director is on there only once. There are plenty of directors who could be on there multiple times (M. Night Shyamalan and Roland Emmerech come to mind), and with time probably will.

[Wien 401]

Seems like Danny Trejo should be in a couple of these... dunno if you want to count Badass (it is a mini episode, but I'd totally count it), but he was also in Reindeer Games.

 

Insane to think he hasn't popped up in these films more often, the guy turns down nothing.

 

Edit: Oh, he is on the list. And he was in Anaconda too, double damn.

[Johnny Unusual 525]

Oh, I like this! Also Dash Mihok is my favourite Star Wars expanded universe character.

[Lando 2019]

Last week bumps Stallone up a level.

[Shannon 2953]

Thanks Lando for the reminder, I meant to do this last week but I got really distracted with FYI

[heartbreakyellow 6]

Does this week's episode mean Will Smith gets to be on the list now?

[Shannon 2953]

Please welcome Will Smith, Benjamin Bratt & Rob Schneider to the HDTGM All-Stars!!

 

Also, our girl Sandy Buh-lock has jumped up a level!

 

AND Sly Stalone is now even with Nic Cage for the most all star-iest of them all!!

[Lando 2019]

I find it hard to believe that Rob Schneider is only on here for two movies. I mean, I saw him do standup and he was pretty funny, plus I enjoy a few of his movies for what they are, but still a surprise.

[Lando 2019]

Oh man, and I just discovered you can add Jessie Ventura to the list. He was a prison guard in Batman & Robin and one of the prisoners in Demolition Man.

 

Edit: And if they end up doing No Holds Barred he's in that too.
