George Lucas and Carrie Fisher have cameos as a kissing couple in Neverland.

Gwenyth Paltrow plays the young Wendy.

Three of Dustin Hoffman's children have minor roles in Hook. Maxwell Hoffman plays 5-year-old Peter Pan, Rebecca Hoffman plays Jane in the play, and Jake Hoffman plays one of the players at the Little League game. In addition, Jimmy Buffett plays the shoe-stealing pirate.

The name 'Wendy' was popularised for girls by the book of Peter Pan - JM Barrie adapted it from the way a neighbour's daughter mispronounced "friend". However, prior to PP, Wendy was a unisex nickname for both Gwendolyn and Wendell, also a name in its own right to a limited degree. More info here: http://www.wendy.com/wendyweb/history.html.

When the children have gone missing and the local police are reporting the matter at the family home, the plain clothes policeman doing most of the talking is Phil Collins.

As well as the Phil Collins cameo, also notable is David Crosby as one of the more vocal fore front pirates in the first scene of Hook's on the ship. Also in that scene the one pirate Hook seeks out to put in the "Boo Box" for punishment is actually Glenn Close.
