Line 4:
A 1971 comedy movie by and with [[Woody Allen]] as Fielding Mellish. He's a lonely product tester in the big city, who tries and fails to maintain a relationship with Nancy, a politically motivated woman whose pet project for the year is raising money for the rebellion in San Marcos, a Central American country ruled by dictator Vargas and riven by rebellion. Despondent over the break-up, Fielding travels to San Marcos to see things for himself, and gets sucked into the fight against Vargas. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
One of Woody's earliest films, '''''Bananas''''' is also listed as one of his funniest, using absurdist humor and slapstick mixed with political commentary.

* [[Acquired Poison Immunity]]: Gen. Vargas has a servant on hand to taste his meals in case they are poisoned. One meal does turn out to be poisoned, but the General eats it, anyway, claiming that he's been poisoned so many times to have developed immunity.
* [[Air Guitar]]: This movie has a scene with an ''air chamber band''. Woody eventually asks them to keep it quieter. (Originally, there were supposed to be instruments, but they never arrived and Woody decided [[Throw It In|to roll with it]].)
