Meant to post this a while ago (obvioulsy)

Lemmy had a cameo in the vastly underrated comedy "Airheads", which featured a ficticious hair metal band comprising Chazz (Brendan Fraser), Rex (Steve Buscemi) & Pip (Adam Sandler before he left SNL) who take over a radio station in order to get their song played.  Calling their band The Lone Rangers, they confront Ian the deejay (Joe Mantegna), who responds: "The Lone Rangers? That's original. How can you pluralize 'Lone Ranger'?  There's three of you. You're not exactly lone. Shouldn't you be the Three Rangers?" 

When they can't get their mangled tape to play they make hostage demands, primarily to have a record company exec come to sign them to a deal.  They also throw in some demands just to throw the cops off, such as nude pictures of Bea Arthur and 67 copies of Moby Dick (station secretary: "You want the movie or the book?"  Rex: "They made a book outta that!?")

So when Harold Ramis' character Chris shows up - claiming to be said record exec - the guys let him into the station, but decide to test him to see if he's legit.  Which leads to the following classic dialogue:

Chazz: Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

Chris: Lemmy.

Rex [imitates a game show buzzer] AAHH!!!

Chris: ... God?

Rex: Wrong, dickhead! Trick question. Lemmy *IS* God.

Chazz: Okay, lemme ask you another question: who's side did you take in the big David Lee Roth-Van Halen split?

Chris: What? What kind of question is that?

Chazz: Who's side did you take: Halen or Roth?

Chris: ...Van Halen

Ian: HE'S A COP!!!
