Blink And You'll Miss Em

Jackie Chan as one of Han's underlings:



As one dragon is put to rest, another rises up.

Tony Leung Chiu Wai as an apprentice monk:



Stephen Chow as a Khitan soldier:



Two buddies of the same age starting out in the same organisation. Tony was an instant favourite during the 80s while Stephen was relegated to bit-part roles. It would take almost a decade before Stephen's star power finally got to reach the level attained by Tony's and only a few short years after that eventually surpass him.

Stephen Chow as a Jin soldier:



Bobby Au Yeung as a lowly foot soldier in the ranks of the Beggar Clan:



Carina Lau:

Paul Verhoeven (the film's director):



Whether it's behind the scenes or in front of the camera, you can tell he was having a ball whilst making the film.

The real James Lovell:



Tom Hanks played real-life astronaut James Lovell in the movie about the ill-fated trip to the moon.

If you look closely at the captain of the vessel which rescues his character you can see it’s the real James Lovell.

Richard Branson:



Bond lover Richard Branson appeared in Daniel Craig’s first outing as Bond after helping out producer Barbara Broccoli.

You can see him being frisked at the airport – the role was a thank you for providing a Virgin plane for a scene at short notice.

Buster Keaton:



One of the greatest stars of the silent era appeared briefly in the classic film noir Sunset Boulevard.

The ageing Keaton’s hey day was behind him, which made his role as a deadpan bridge-player who utters only one word all the more haunting.

Carrie Fisher:

Michael Jackson:

Donald Trump:



The first time I got to see Donald Trump without actually knowing his name yet. As a kid, I found his demeanour to be self-effacing, kind of like an uncle figure to children. A far cry from the playboy image that he and the press cultivated.

The real Erin Brokovich as a waitress:



To see the woman who's going to boost your profile, of course you're going to pull out your 32 teeth display.

Charlie Chaplin:

A very young Nicholas Hoult (fourth child from the left) appeared briefly in the second episode "Drugs":



Nicholas never knew he was in Brass Eye until 20 years later someone posted it on his Twitter feed to which his response was: "wow that's a spot, I think it is me! I was in Brass Eye! Damn that's cool, I'm celebrating this and editing resume immediately."

Alexander Armstrong, before establishing himself as a formidable daytime tv presenter, was initially immersed in the field of comedy. He made an appearance in one of the sketches for the "Sex" episode of Brass Eye. The cameo role lasted a mere three seconds:
