Chuck Norris has expressed his interest in returning to the American Dodgeball Association of America in a cameo for the upcoming Dodgeball 2. The sequel to the 2004 sports comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story will continue the story of Vince Vaughn's small-time gym owner who brings together a group of misfits to compete in a high-stakes dodgeball tournament. The original film featured several surprising cameos, including Norris who played himself as a member of the ADAA's judging committee in the final match. While Norris has not yet received an invitation to join the committee in the sequel, he remains eager to reprise his role.
I haven't gotten a call about it yet, but it'd be a lot of fun to make a return appearance.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Threw In A Number Of Surprising Cameos
One of the most amusing aspects of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is the array of familiar faces that make cameo appearances in the film, catching viewers off guard with their sudden appearances. During the movie's high-pressure dodgeball tournament, the Average Joe's team faces off against a formidable German squad. Despite the Germans' unfortunate uniform mix-up, they are defeated by LaFleur's team. As the Joes advance to the next round, their vanquished opponents are left in tears, berated by an irate David Hasselhoff, who makes a memorable guest appearance as their coach. Speaking in German, Hasselhoff not only scolds the team, but also brandishes a photo from his singing career as he laments the dishonor they have brought upon themselves.
Throughout Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, the film's cameos become increasingly surprising. Lance Armstrong's chance meeting with LaFleur during the latter's lowest point is a turning point that drives him to outfox Stiller's White Goodman and get back in the tournament. The final match is presided over by Star Trek's William Shatner, who portrays the Dodgeball Chancellor alongside Norris. While these pop culture cameos may not be as surprising upon a rewatch, they are still enjoyable details for audiences to look out for. Norris' approval of the Average Joes and his iconic thumbs up have become a lasting image and frequently used meme. Although his cameo is brief, it's great to hear that the action star is open to making similar appearances for continuity between the films. As for the sequel, it will be interesting to see what new surprises and cameos it has in store for audiences.
