Impressive Ensembles

[AndyC]

What would you say was the most remarkable group of bad movie actors you've seen in the same movie. This would a combination you wouldn't have imagined until you saw it.

For me, the idea of William Shatner, Ernest Borgnine and John Travolta in the same movie was what made me buy The Devil's Rain a while back. A really disappointing movie, but what a combination of actors.

[Vermin Boy]

Haven't seen it, but Mortuary Academy has a very impressive list of cult actors: Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, Dick Miller, Tracey Walter (Miller from Repo Man), Cesar Romero, and Wolfman Jack.

If you want to include A-movie actors in decidedly B-movies, there are a handful of embarassing movies from the 60s and 70s that fit the bill; my favorite is the Story of Mankind, with Harpo Marx as Sir Isaac Newton, Dennis Hopper as Napoleon, Peter Lorre as Nero, Hedy LaMarr as Joan of Arc, Groucho Marx as Peter Minuet, John Carradine as Pharoah Khufu, and Vincent Price as the Devil.

One of the best B casts I have ever witnessed was in "Icebreaker": Bruce Campbell, Sean "The Kid Who Was In Goonies But Now He's Fat And He's Samwise Gamgee" Astin and Stacey Keach.

Just curious, but have Bruce Campbell and Jeffrey Combs ever been in the same movie?

[Mofo Rising]

According to IMDb, Bruce Campbell and Jeffrey Combs have never appeared in the same film.

And by an amazing coincidence, I just watched AMERICAN GOTHIC last night.  It had an amazing casts including Rod Steiger, Yvonne De Carlo and Michael J. Pollard.

What?  That's not an amazing cast?  Fine.  I'm taking my ball and going home.

Venom features Klaus Kinski, Nicol Williamson, Oliver Reed, Susan George, Michael Gough, and Sterling Hayden in a battle of the accents that must be heard to be believed.

[Flangepart]

Gotta catch that with the picture off, just to pracice my dialects. Oh, yeah. Like "Braveheart", if ya got no ear for accents, you will be left in the dust, asking "Hah?". Confuse your friends!

[Will]

If I ever get to direct a film, it'll star Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, Traci Lords, Asia Argento, Patty Mullins, Jamez Lorinz, Roddy Piper, Sandahl Bergman, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, and Antonella Fulci.  That would rock.

I've always dug the casts of the Cannonball Run movies.   Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Richard Kiel, Jacky Chan, Jamie Farr, Clyde the Orangutan, Jim Nabors, Tim Conway, George "Goober" LIndsey, and a few other people....

[Jay O'Connor]

Yeah but the Cannonball Run movies were intentionally grabbing celebrities for cameos

[Vermin Boy]

Don't know if it counts, but "Voobaha," a mock-retrospective of Barnes & Barnes (the guys who did "Fish Heads") has one of the most amazing guest lists I've ever seen (all completely making stuff up): "Weird Al" Yankovic, Jose Ferrer, Steven Stills, David Cassidy, Woody Herman, Dr. Demento, Mark Hamill, Rosemary Clooney, Rae Dawn Chong, the band America, Jonathan "Dr. Smith" Harris, Shirley Jones, Joe Siegel (creator of Superman), Wild Man Fischer, Booji Boy (Devo's mascots)... Plus, the music videos feature pre-star performances by Bill Paxton, Teri Hatcher, Miguel Ferrer, and Flea!

Also throw in Joe Estevez, Rutger Hauer, Robert Z'Dar and Stacy Keach, and you will have The Greatest Cast Ever..
