Five Favorite Channing Tatum Cameos
Channing Tatum originally began his career being pegged as the dreamy bad boy who was mostly in romance movies. Over the course of his career, he’s also garnered an admirable sense of self-awareness never being afraid to poke fun at himself thus setting himself up as one of the big-time actors who love to make cameos in random movies. Tatum has popped up in many movies over the last ten years, including “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
Whether you like him or not, Tatum has offered up some surprising cameos over the years, here are my favorites.
Beast Fighter: Karate Bearfighter (aka Kenka karate kyokushin burai ken) (1975) [Eureka Entertainment]

When Titans Ruled The Earth: Clash of the Titans & Wrath of the Titans – Limited Edition [Blu-Ray]
1981’s Desmond Davis-Ray Harryhausen classic was a hard act to follow and sadly Louis LeTerrier tries to topple that bar opting for a remake that’s pretty much all style with none of the awe or amazement of the original film. Louis LeTerrier’s remake is dripping with early aughts ephemera with dark and grimy set pieces, a self serious script, and a part of the movie that would become the internet meme of the year. That snippet of dialogue would be “Release the Kraken!”
Beast Fighter: Karate Bullfighter (aka Champion of Death) (1975) [Eureka Entertainment]
Available from Eureka Entertainment as a 2-disc set with Beast Fighter: Karate Bearfighter.
Inspired by the life of Choi Bae-dal who was later known as Masutatsu Oyama, a Korean martial artist who founded Kyokushin Karate in Japan.
Brave Citizen (2024) [Fantasia Film Festival 2024]
Deep down there’s a great movie within “Brave Citizen.” The South Korean film by Park jin-pyo has a great premise, and a great cause to fight for that could serve as a catalyst for an interesting superhero tale. Instead “Brave Citizen” is bogged down in so much exposition and sub-plots and commentary that is loses sight of its original intent. There’s no reason a movie like “Brave Citizen” should be so long, and I say that as someone that almost never cares about run time.
But Park jin-pyo and the writers take so long to get to the actual point that by the time we do get an idea what they’re aiming in the realm of superheroes meets bringing down the affluent, the movie has already worn out its welcome.
