* ''[[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth8th Dimension]]'': In the middle of chasing down the bad guys, the Hong Kong Cavaliers run through Buckaroo's lab. There is a watermelon in a massive hydraulic press. New Jersey stops, nonplussed, asks, "Why is there a watermelon there?" Reno replies, "I'll tell you later", and they immediately resume pursuit of the bad guys. It's never mentioned again.
** In the fanclub newsletter, it was revealed that (in story) they were developing watermelons which could be airdropped without parachutes into dangerous famine stricken areas. It was also hinted that the scene was filmed as a [[Take That]] directed at a meddling studio exec.
*** Further, in-story the effort was abandoned when someone at the Institute belatedly realized that watermelons that could be airdropped couldn't be cut open by anything short of industrial equipment.
