Is it just me, or is people walking into a room to the tune from Kill Bill rapidly becoming the most over-used scene in cinema? Here’s the tune in question;
Tomoyasu Hotei - “Battle Without Honor Or Humanity”, I’m told. It’s been in everything from Transformers to Maid of Honor, Kung Fu Panda to Team America. Any other examples? I rapidly grow tired of it.
While I agree it’s come up more than average in the past four years (although, still, once a year or so isn’t that much above the average), it’s got a long way to go before it hits Carmina Burana penetration.
Kill Bill Part 2 not so much, but part 1 was essentially a collage of scenes from various B movies from around the world through the last 50 years. I doubt that there was anything original in the whole thing beyond the addition of modern-day Hollywood production values.
It’s a fad that will come and go and come and go, you need have no worry.
Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees. I’m sure there have been many parodies/tributes of John Travolta’s strut down the street in the opening of Saturday Night Fever.
Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood. I don’t know if it was the first use of this music as an “intro” but Arnold’s naked entrance to the bar in Terminator 2 is classic.
That is exactly what I came in here to post. Makes me wish I could whistle better…
Not movies so much but lots of TV shows like to use “Born To Be Wild” Especially if the character is a typical nerd/loser in an unusual situation. (Such as Al Bundy on a motorcycle)
