New clip from Dumb and Dumber To features surprise cameo you need to see for yourself

new clip dumb dumber features surprise cameo need see and to interview 006

Typically, when a movie features a clever cameo from a celebrity, the studio tries to keep it a secret until the surprise is inevitably revealed by critics or (if the studio is really good at keeping secrets) the audience. That’s not the case for the unexpected cameo in the Farrelly brothers’ Dumb and Dumber To, which was revealed via a studio-sanctioned clip from the film that was released this week — and there’s a good reason for the unusual decision.

While a cameo from Jennifer Lawrence was initially rumored for the film, the Hunger Games actress isn’t the surprise guest in Dumb and Dumber To. That honor goes to a certain actor who’s appeared in some of Bobby and Peter Farrelly’s earlier films, who now shows up in the new movie wearing a hazmat suit and gas mask, looking like he just stepped off the set of Breaking Bad.

Did you recognize the voice or catch a glimpse of his face behind the mask?

The actor inside the hazmat suit is none other than Bill Murray, who appeared in both the Farrellys’ 1996 film Kingpin and the 2001 film Osmosis Jones. The studio released the clip early as it became apparent that Murray’s cameo was going unnoticed by preview audiences, and hey, why not share it with the world?

The sequel to 1994’s comedy hit Dumb and Dumber, the new film features Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprising their roles as naive buddies Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, who reunite for a road trip to meet the child Harry didn’t know he had. The film hits theaters today (November 14), and also stars Rachel Melvin, Kathleen Turner, Brady Bluhm, Laurie Holden, Steve Tom, and Rob Riggle.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked

Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
