Examples of director "cameos"? I.e., a director shooting a scene in another director’s movie.

In the sort of "cameo," I don't imply a director appearing in a bit position in a film (though these are enjoyable to identify). As a substitute, and infrequently much less well-known, is when a director shoots a number of scenes in one other director's film. One not often hears about the sort of cameo, and except you're a behind-the-scenes junkie, they're typically not publicized. I get a kick out it, imagining these well-known administrators palling round with one another on their film units.

I've listed some examples beneath (with citations), however I'd love to listen to of any others.

I don't embody instances by which a brand new director replaces the unique director who was fired, or who leaves for skilled or private causes (e.g., Superman 2, Justice League, Rogue One).

• Robert Rodriguez in "Pulp Fiction" – Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino are famously shut mates, which has prolonged to taking pictures scenes in one another's films. In Pulp Fiction, Tarantino wished to concentrate on his appearing as Jimmie, so he requested Rodriguez to direct at any time when Tarantino was in entrance of the digicam.

Whereas it's not clear precisely which scenes had been directed by Soderbergh, it's believed that certainly one of them is the District 11 riot.
