Action Movie Parodies

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.

Can anyone name some movies where it’s been done?

Charlie Sheen’s Hot Shots! and Hot Shots! Part Deaux

Emilio Esteve’s Loaded Weapon

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! :slight_smile:

Also I’m Gonna Git You Sucka which is a spoof of 70s blaxploitation movies.

Not that I’ve seen it but wasn’t Arnie’s Last Action Hero a parody? Not that Arnie’s films take themselves particularly seriously in the first place.

Top Secret! w/Val Kilmer is a good parody of WWII spy movies.

And let’s not forget The Kentucky Fried Movie with its Bruce Lee parody, “A Fistful of Yen”!

Weird Al’s UHF has a bit of Rambo parody.

Not to mention Gandhi II.

And “Conan the Librarian”…oh, wait…

And “Wheel of Fish”…

[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
