In the move Stakeout, Emilio Estevez quizzes Richard Dryfus’ character: ''What movie was this from?“…‘This was not a boating accident’…”, as he was doing movie quote trivia to kill time while on the stakeout.

“Thanks babe” appears in both Spaced and Hot Fuzz, although IMDB suggests it wasn’t a deliberate cross-reference.

I watched *Stardust *last night, and at one point the character played by Ricky Gervais asks, “Is he having a laugh?” That’s the “catchphrase” used by Gervais’s character on the HBO show *Extras *.

My wife and I caught that, but it’s a little different.
In Extras, the line is “Are you having a laugh? Is he having a laugh?”
In Starduest, he says, “What? You’re having a laugh.”
Still, it’s obviously a reference to his catch-phrase.
Ah-nold also repeated his “Fuck you, asshole” line from “The Terminator” during his fight with Bill Duke in “Commando.”
And Charlton Heston had a bit part in the “Planet of the Apes” remake, in which he got to matter “Damn them… damn them all to Hell.”

I don’t think so. The phrase is in such common usage that its not a recognisible catch-phrase of any particular individual.
Leslie Nielsen, playing the President in Scary Movie 3, tells the heroes, “I just want to tell you both good luck, we’re all counting on you”, a repeat of the same line from Airplane (where he said it several times). I remember being the only person in the theater to laugh when he said it, probably because I was the only one there old enough to remember Airplane.

I realize it’s a common phrase, but have you seen the second season of Extras? Ricky Gervais will never again be able to say anything about anybody having any kind of laugh without instantly reminding people of his role on Extras.
It’s a catchphrase his character, Andy Millman, is forced to repeat endlessly as the star of a bad sitcom. People stop him on the street and pester him to say it. There are dolls in the stores that say it when you push a button.
not spoken but how about Daryl Hanna from Blade Runner and Kill Bill where she does the exact same death scene…not many people can say they have done that before.
In The Wedding Singer: Jon Lovitz, after watching Adam Sandler melt down onstage mentions: “He’s losing his mind… and I’m reaping all the benefits!”
In Benchwarmers (Bad movie, I know…) during the closing credits showing the cut out scenes he’s watching from the bleachers and says the same line.
After a beat though he then starts ad libbing… “Did I just say that… thats from another movie…”

In Blazing Saddles, Jim (Gene Wilder) tells how he gave up gunfighting when a six-year-old kid challenged him to draw. In Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, when Willy is meeting the kids to come in to the factory, Mike Teevee (in western garb) draws on him.

Thank you, Robot Arm, for making me do this: :smack:
Does the scene during the credits of Cars where John Ratzenberger is watching all the “car-ified” Pixar movies with his own voice in them commenting on how good a voice actor that guy is, and then realizing it’s the same actor & they’re just trying to save money count?

I’m aware it’s in common usage. It has more to do with the intonation he uses when saying the line. It’s similar to Rob Schneider’s line, “You can do it!”, which is in so many movies.
A common thing to say, but a catch phrase if you develop it into one.
By the way, both phrases are intentionally created catch phrases.
