Unfortunately I don't have a picture, but the other day I was shopping for Christmas presents, and while picking up Shaft in Africa for my brother, I saw a movie I'd never heard of called "Sleep with me" in the discount bin. Romantic comedy or something. Anyway, at the top of the box it said in text almost as big as the title, "SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE BY QUENTIN TARENTINO." And it was again mentioned in full detail on the back.

OK, he was in the movie. Last cast member on the credits list, according to IMDb. I just thought it was funny that they'd blow up the part of an extra like that just because Quentin's name is hot. It's like if Flipper'd be making a succesful comeback, and some straight-to-video movie would boast the tagline "THIS MOVIE HAS A DOLPHIN IN IT!"

I think the first one you are talking about the Kill Chiba collection, my friend owns that.

There was this movie my dad rented once called Black Horizon that said all over the video box 'STARRING ICE-T!!!! ICE-T IS IN THIS MOVIE GUYZ!!!!'
In the end, it was a horrible 'tragedy' movie which had Ice-T in a small, insignificant, useless to the movie 15 minute role.

Same thing with Scream. Drew Barrymore was in that movie for all of 5 minutes, but her face was all over the posters, etc.

kevin smith wasnt on the poster as silent bob because the photographer didnt let him be silent bob.
