Michael Bay Explains His Coyote Ugly Cameo
In an exclusive interview, Ambulance director Michael Bay explained his brief cameo during a scene in the 2000 cult classic, Coyote Ugly. Bay is well-known for his over-the-top action set pieces in high-concept films, exemplified in the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence buddy cop film, Bad Boys, or in the bombastic giant robot CGI-fest that is the Transformers franchise. Bay's new hi-octane thriller, Ambulance, stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as brothers who steal an ambulance in a desperate attempt to escape Los Angeles after a failed bank heist.

She instead finds her hopeful career derailed while working behind a bar, and on top of it, tantalizing customers as well as the media. Bay makes an appearance during one of the film's many bar performances as a photographer for the Village Voice newspaper.
