Did this scene ever happen, or did I imagine it?

In a movie or on a TV show; I’m not even sure of that much. Something happens that’s guaranteed to elicit screaming from a character, but the action stops before the character reacts. Cut to a street scene, with a subtitle reading, “Downtown Tokyo”. Pedestrians look up, bewildered as to the source of bloodcurdling screams.

Real, or imagined?

I recognise it, but can tell you about as much about it as you already know.

Godzilla, or Howard Dean?

Sounds like a Mike Myers joke. Was it in a Wayne’s World or So I Married an Axe Murderer or something like that?

It might be Mike Myers at that. But his films are all so similar, I can’t pinpoint one as the source.

Its used in an episode of South Park. Except that “downtown Tokyo” is an alien planet.
