Linnea Quigley for Night of the Demons.

Sean Connery in Thunderball and the remake Never Say Never Again.

It was a sequel. No reboot or remake nonsense. It took out 3 and 4, deciding to only honor the ones Donner worked on. Cuz that was Singer's intent. To only honor 1 and 2.

Ash Ketchum

When Frank Capra remade BROADWAY BILL (1934) as RIDING HIGH (1950), he had several actors replay their roles from the original, including Clarence Muse, Raymond Walburn, Margaret Hamilton, Paul Harvey, Frankie Darro, Charles Lane, and Douglas Dumbrille. Scenes from the original were reused, often with some of these actors, so you'd see them looking 16 years older from one scene to the next. One actor, Forrester Harvey, had died five years earlier, but that didn't stop Capra from reusing his footage in the remake. Very bizarre.

Olin Howland played the teacher who punishes Amy (the youngest of the March sisters) in two different versions of LITTLE WOMEN, 1933, in which 23-year-old Joan Bennett is the object of his wrath, and 1949, in which 16-year-old Elizabeth Taylor is the one left alone in the classroom with him. You have to see the way he handles the latter to believe it. I can only imagine that this scene, simply bubbling with young Liz's post pubescent erotic appeal, got past the censors in the Breen Office because each of them, as they watched that scene, said to himself, about the others, "Well, if they don't say anything, then I'm not gonna say anything." No one did and the scene is there in all its glory.

Hard to believe he will be in the remake, but I guess since he doesnt look the way he did in 1987 he can get away with it.

Patrick Swayze was in "Ghost," and then in the autobiographical remake.

I used both terms because the Donner / Lester films were used as more of a "vague history" (Singer's term) without specifics, and those films were originally scripted to be one divided in half.

Tom Savini too.

VHS?

Too soon

Meglos

John Wayne in Rio Bravo, El Dorado and Rio Lobo.

EddieMoney

Not soon enough.

karoomba

Bruce Campbell - Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2

VHS?

End of credits in remake

RocShemp

George Peppard and Dwight Schultz had cameos in The A-Team. Although that's a remake of a TV series.

Tom Creo

Good call.

Pizza

That's funny because:

So......right back at ya.

Mattflix

I realize this is TV, but Richard Hatch appeared in a leading role in the original Battlestar Gallactica, as well as a recurring character in the reimaged series.

Meglos

Which was quite a feat since Peppard died in 1994!

Woooooooooow

While the "remake" the story of Evil Dead in the opening as a recap of what previously happened, Evil Dead 2 is not a remake.

MScottM

Joanna Barnes in "The Parent Trap". The fiancee in the original 1961 and the mother of the fiancee in the 1998 remake.

Hokeyboy

George Peppard did an autobiographical remake of Ghost in 2010's The A-Team?

ALSO: Penelope Cruz played the same role in Abre Los Ojos and Vanilla Sky.

Groucho

Singleton's "Shaft" wasn't a remake, it was a follow-up to the original films with Samuel L. Jackson playing Richard Roundtree's nephew.

Solid Snake

For some reason that passed me when I saw it when I was a younger kid, but I saw this thing like 5 years ago and that's when I noticed that THE Shaft was this Shaft's uncle. Kind of neat, I guess.
