Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny is full of famous faces, but which scene features a cameo from Amy Adams? The story behind how comedy rock duo Tenacious D came to be is pretty simple; Jack Black and Kyle Gass met each other while they were both members of Tim Robbin’s theater troupe The Actors’ Gang and formed the band in the mid-1990s after bonding over their mutual love of music. Their 2006 musical comedy Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny, however, offers a much funnier – if very fictional – version of the band’s origin story.

Directed by musician and filmmaker Liam Lynch, the movie follows two rockers named JB (Jack Black) and KG (Kyle Gass) who become best pals and form the band rock band Tenacious D – named for the complementary butt-cheek birthmarks they share. After learning about a legendary guitar plectrum (the titular “Pick of Destiny) that’s fashioned from the tooth of Satan and said to give anyone who wields it extraordinary musical prowess, the pair set out on a quest to steal the pick and become the greatest band of all time.

Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny didn’t fare so well at the box office and wasn’t a hit with critics either. Nevertheless, it’s a hoot for fans of Tenacious D’s offbeat brand of rock-infused comedy and has since come to be regarded as something of a cult classic. The movie also features a cameo from Golden Globe-winning actress Amy Adams in a small role just as her career was really starting to take off. Catch her cameo in the clip below around the 1:30 mark.

The scene in question is a dream sequence in which JB fantasizes about Tenacious D performing a knock-out gig while under the influence of the Pick of Destiny. Credited simply as “Gorgeous Woman”, Amy Adams’ Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny cameo see her appear as an audience member who mouths the words “I love you” at the band and is later splattered with brain matter after JB’s awesome vocals cause a man’s head to explode. Adams wasn’t exactly an unknown when Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny was released (having earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in Junebug the year prior) so it’s not like she needed the role to raise her profile, but the actress confessed in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer that she loves actor Jack Black and therefore “had to do it.”

Amy Adams is by no means the only big name to have a cameo in Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has a pretty memorable appearance as Satan and so does Meatloaf as JB’s disapproving father and John C. Reilly as a sasquatch that JB hallucinates after eating mushrooms. Metal legend Ronnie James Dio also appears as himself, while Ben Stiller plays the owner of a guitar store who tells Tenacious D about the Pick of Destiny while Amy Poehler plays a disinterested waitress working at a truck stop diner the band stops at.
