Well, for one thing, Sheriff J.W. Pepper was an amazingly annoying character. A one-time appearance in "Live and Let Die" could be easily forgiven, but his second appearance in "Golden Gun" was very unnecessary and, as mentioned above, incredibly irritating and harsh.
As for the bottle guy, it was a very clever gag. But why, of all people, would you want Danny Devito in a Bond movie? Not that he's a bad actor, but he would just really be out of place in a Bond movie. It would just come across as "Hey, we've already had a bunch of stars in the last few movies - let's throw in some more for the hell of it."
Besides, DeVito already had a cameo in "Austin Powers in Goldmember". Being that he has already been in a spoof, I really don't think he needs to be seen in the real thing...
