Show Within a Show: Difference between revisions
→Films - Live-Action
Line 99:
* [[Tropic Thunder]] begins with a series of trailers for fictional movies starring the film's main characters.
* The ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' movies have their own movies-within-a-movie, "Stab," which first arrived in [[Scream]] 2 as a [[Plot Parallel|fictionalized account of the events of the first movie.]] [[Scream]] 3 takes place largely on the set of "Stab 3."
* Pretty much any comedy built around a [[Struggling Broadcaster]], in any medium, will have that broadcaster produce a few far-fetched shows within the show.
* For instance, [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s ''[[UHF (film)]]'' fills an entire fictional broadcast schedule with these:
** [[Almighty Janitor]]: ''Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse''
** [[Wheel of Decisions]]: The ''[[Wheel of Fortune|Wheel of Fish]]'' game show.
** ''Raul's Wild Kingdom''. [[Weird Al Effect|Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!]]
** [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]]: ''Gandhi II''
** The U-62 schedule lists a few other shows-within-a-show that exist only as fictional cinema trailers, or don't exist at all: usually with bizarre titles like ''[[Hide Your Gays|Those Darn Homos!]]''
