So, I'm watching "The Fly" with Jeff Goldblum, and during a bar scene involving armwrestling, I notice CHUVALO

Question

George Chuvalo appears in a cameo as a tough-guy challenging all comers to arm wrestle him for money. Goldblum, with his new insect powers, snaps Chuvalo's wrist open, exposing bone, blood, and and other various inner-arm ingredients.

Question: have you seen this? And. . . . can you think of any other cameos by fighters in movies?

Answer 1

Wow I never knew that was him. I remember the scene but I can't picture the arm wrestler. The only cameos I can think of are Roy Jones Jr. in The Devil's Advocate and Lou Ferringno (not a fighter I know) in The Hulk and of course the numerous boxers who made professional wrestling appearances - Evander Hollyfield, James Buster Douglas, Mike Tyson, Muhammed Ali, and of course most recently Floyd Mayweather Jr. Also in Dancing with the Stars.  Thumbs up to Maurice it would have taken me forever to think of half of those.
