The ultimate Batclimb cameo list

And Duff does the cameo in his character of Sgt. Sam Stone. After he chats with Batman, he calls out to his partner, Jim Briggs (played by Dennis Cole, who doesn't appear in the window cameo).
Being a resident of Oregon at the time Crazy Eddie was popular, I only knew who he was thanks to TV specials honoring great commercials, plus one of his ads appeared in the movie "Splash", the part where Madison the Mermaid learns to speak English by watching TV in an electronics store.
