Possibly. The Youtube video claims it’s Batman Forever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2qvULu70dE
Favorite “little” joke? The one from Top Secret!
“I know a little German. He’s sitting over there.”
“Your flaming hog balls, sir.”
I, on the other hand, have a friend whose last name is Wilhelm. Her family (generations of Wilhelms) has never heard of the scream.
And showed no curiosity about it. I can pretty much guarantee that none of them are going to look it up… even after my re-enactment of it in their living room.
eta: The only time I’ve been in their living room, come to think of it…
Similarly, in The Seven Year Itch Tom Ewell describes Marilyn Monroe’s character as looking like Marilyn Monroe.
Dances With Wolves, when the teamster sees a roadside skeleton with an arrow in its chest: “someone back home is saying ‘now why don’t he write?’”
In Arsenic and Old Lace, the villain is said to look like Boris Karloff. This was hilarious in the Broadway play, where the character was played by Karloff. Unfortunately, Raymond Massey did not look enough like Karloff to make the joke funny, and he was not famous enough in his own right to make “looks like Raymond Massey” funny. In the 1969 TV movie, the character was played by Fred Gwynne. He had already become known for playing Herman Munster, so the reference to Karloff was apt.
I would like to see a re-make with Christopher Walken in the role. He is famous enough that “looks like Christopher Walken” would be funny.
In Airplane!, Captain Rex Kramer dramatically pulls off his sunglasses–revealing a second pair underneath.
One from Airplane! that’s always stuck with me: in one of the first scenes, a doctor calls from the Mayo Clinic…
Airplane and Top Secret! could probably have their own threads at some point since they are joke…joke…joke. Why can’t we have movies like that anymore?
I don’t know if this was intended as an actual joke, or was just kind of clever of the writers, but it always amused me.
On The Dick Van Dyke Show, there were occasional appearances by a character who was the host of a late-night talk show, obviously intended to evoke The Tonight Show.
That character’s name was “Stevie Parsons.” I always thought that was a cute portmanteau of the three different hosts of The Tonight Show: Steve Allen, Jack Paar, and Johnny Carson.
In Buster Keaton’s The General, there’s a famous scene where a Union general tells his troops to drive a locomotive over a burning bridge, saying that it’s still strong enough.
Everyone has seen the results – the bridge collapsing and falling into the river.
What’s often left out is the stunned reaction of the Union General.
In Easy Money, Rodney Dangerfield and his crew are out trying to get some food and having no success. As they pull up to one restaurant they shut off the lights. As they are in the parking lot discussing where to go next, you see the restaurant sign in the background, kinda blurry, saying “Open 23 Hours”.
Lar, welcome to the Dope.
Thank you, Burpo! /(-_-) Season’s Greetings!
Spaceballs:
Dark Helmet: Prepare for metamorphosis, are you ready Kafka?
Jarmusch movies are kinda hit or miss but I really liked Only Lovers Left Alive. There’s at least one scene where Adam’s “Renfield”, Ian, asks about using the bathroom to which Adam says no, the bathroom is not working. If you think about it, likely a vampire would have no need for a functioning toilet.
Also, Adam’s blood bank connection is Dr. Watson/Faustus/etc.
Not so fast! One of Stephen King’s short stories is about a tabloid photographer who is pursuing a vampire around the country — the vampire has a small private plane and flies around from airport to airport seeking victims (he sleeps in the cargo hold where his native soil is stowed). At the climax, the photog arrives too late at the latest massacre, takes some pix, then goes into the men’s room to splash water on his face, where he sees, in the mirror, a stream of blood appearing in thin air about crotch height and draining into the urinal. Yes, Count Yorga is pissing blood; no mention of his having a UTI. We will not speculate on #2, thank you.
Likewise!
The plane is a Cessna 337 Skymaster with a cargo pod.
Getting ideas?
