In The Princess Brides we have the story of how Wesley became the Dredd Pirate Roberts. And the time the 6 fingered man killed a boy’s dad. ---

In BATMAN BEGINS, Christian Bale’s first outing involved everything you’d maybe now expect: seeing little Bruce’s parents getting brutally killed right in front of him; seeing our hero, now all grown up, in his first masked meeting with Jim Gordon; and plenty of grueling training in between, as well as the public’s reaction to the debut of The Dark Knight. But what about Adam Wezf? ---

From The Empire Strikes back. Princess Leia: I thought you had decided to stay. Han Solo: Well, the bounty hunter we ran into in Ord Mantell changed my mind. Apparently, that story was told in the [Star Wars comic strip](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Bounty_Hunter_of_Ord_Mantell), but that’s not canon. I’d like to see what happened there. ---

In Season 2 of Breaking Bad, we had this scene: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/VWYQN4E4qr0/hqdefault.jpg "Breaking Bad - “It wasn’t me it was Ignacio, did Lalo send you?”") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWYQN4E4qr0) While being kidnapped, and not knowing exactly what’s going on, he says "It wasn’t me, it was Ignacio. Did Lalo send you?”. At the time (even to the writers, I think), it was just a throwaway line. However, 6 years later, Better Call Saul debuted which very prominently featured two characters, Ignacio (Nacho) and Lalo. ---

In _Waiting…_, they actually show them (I’ve never seen that film, but I just saw a clip now)…but I’m almost positive the joke was first made (as a passing comment) in _Annie Hall._ (I could be misremembering). ---

Perhaps you were inspired by the line in _Annie Hall_ about _My Dinner with Andre_ action figures. 🙂 That can’t be right. Annie Hall came out in 1977, My Dinner With Andre in 1981. Maybe from a different Woody Allen movie? And speaking of Annie Hall, was that the one where they lived under the roller coaster at Coney Island? I’ll bet there’s an interesting story there! ---

Not a movie, but a Simpsons episode: in the New York episode (I think now kinda banned because the Twin Towers played a big part), Barney one night at Moe’s is the destined driver and drives Homer and the rest of the gang home in Homer’s car. He goes missing for a few lost weeks on a bender and returns home without any memory of what happened, but it turns out that he left Homer’s car in a no-parking space just next to the Twin Towers. I’ve always wanted to know what happened to Barney in those few weeks. ---
