We’ve all seen scenes in action movies where the hero – one guy – takes on hundreds of heavily armed bad guys and wins.
It strikes me that this concept is very susceptible to parodies. i.e. scenes where the hero takes out a tank with a slingshot and is shot at by 10 guys 50 feet away with machine guns and doesn’t get a scratch etc. etc.
This must have been done. It’s begging to have been done.
Hot Shots part two in particular has many scenes parodying Rambo with a machine gun versus a bazillion enemy troops. Plus he kills Saddam Hussein at the end!
[On the game show, “Wheel of Fish”, Phyllis Weaver has just spun the wheel and landed on a red snapper]
Kuni: Ahhh, a red snapper. Mmmmm, very tasty. Okay, Weaver, you can either hold onto you red snapper… or you can go for what’s in the box that Hiro-San is bringing down the aisle right now.
[Hiro-San emerges, carrying a table with a box]
Kuni: What’s it going to be, Weaver?
Phyllis Weaver: I’ll take the box. The box.
[Applause]
Kuni: You took the box. Let’s see what in the box.
[box is opened]
Kuni: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Stupid. You’re so stupid
