Hilarious in Hindsight/Film: Difference between revisions

** Lea Thompson has this line in ''Back To The Future Part III'': "Sure'n I hope you're considerin' the future, Mr. Eastwood". 22 years later, she has a cameo in ''[[J. Edgar]]''.

* The PSA, ''The Finishing Line'', is in the same vein as ''Apaches'' with informing kids that playing in dangerous locations, like in this case, train tracks, is not a good idea. The way they present it though, is that it's an [[Imagine Spot]] from a kid, showing children, or better yet, students, killing each other for entertainment value. [[Battle Royale|Sound Familiar?]]

* [[Harrison Ford]] and [[Mark Hamill]] did an interview promoting ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' on the morning show ''Today'' back in 1980. At the end of the interview, the host asks if they know which one of them will end up with Princess Leia. Hamill says that they want to keep as many surprises as possible, otherwise it would be like "your sister telling you what you're getting for Christmas". It's not clear if Hamill knew that Luke and Leia were twin siblings at that point, but it's very funny to watch that today nonetheless.

* In ''No Holds Barred,'' the climax features [[Hulk Hogan]]'s character fighting in a six-sided ring similar to what would be used by [[TNA]] over a decade later... that is until Hogan became part owner of TNA and promptly eschewed the six-sided ring in favor of the standard four-sided variety.

{{quote|'''Evil:''' It's a good question. Why have I let the Supreme Being keep me here in the Foretress of Ultimate Darkness? ... Look, SHUT UP, I'm speaking rhetorically. I let him keep me here in order to lull him into a false sense of security. When I have the Map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding...of digital watches. And soon I shall have understanding of videocassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being! God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time! Forty-three species of parrot! Nipples for men! Slugs!! He created slugs. They can't hear! They can't speak! They can't operate machinery! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic? If I were creating a world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, day one!}}

* [[Pineapple Express]] features a scene when Amber Heard's character gets upset about being called a lesbian. Years later, she's with a girl but still doesn't like being called a lesbian.

* In the [[Eddie Murphy]] remake of ''[[The Nutty Professor]]'', Professor Sherman Klump adopts a [[Survival Mantra|reassuring motto]] from [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|weight-loss guru Lance Perkins]]: "[[Barack Obama|Yes, I can!]]".

* The third act of [[John Waters]]' ''[[Serial Mom]]'' deals with the media hoopla surrounding the title character's trial. The film came out a full year before the [[O.J. Simpson]] trial.
