Whose cameo appearance in the film was the funniest: Paul Newman, James Caan, Burt Reynolds, Liza Minnelli, Anne Bancroft, or Marcel Marceau?

They're all funny, but I think Anne Bancroft was probably my fave, maybe because that scene is pretty funny. The tango and stuff, plus it's funny how she does that funky thing with her eyes when she's dancing with Marty Feldman. Ha ha! Skill imo. The scenes with Liza Minnelli are funny too, when they're in the armour and they're trying to sit down. I think all the actors with a cameo did great and were really funny.

Out of all of the cameos, James Caan was my favorite. The whole trailer scene and the boxing gloves scene were hilarious.

I think the best was Marcel Marceau and the irony that the best known mime had the one spoken line. His wind tunnel room routine was awesome too!

I agree they are all terrific cameos. Paul Newman's with the wheelchair race is hysterical but I always enjoyed Burt Reynolds' two scenes especially with him in the shower looking at himself in the mirror while blowing kisses to himself.

Marcel Marceau without a doubt. I loved being able to see this record of him performing. He is such a brilliantly funny mime.

Henny Youngman's is the funniest to me, even though the other's are great. Henny's "There's a fly in my soup!" is timeless. Rocker Bob :)

And he was billed in the closing credits: "Henny Youngman--Fly-in-soup man." :D

The Burt Reynolds scene is side-splittingly funny.
