==   [[Film]] ==
Line 30:
* Done in [[Ilya Muromets]]. It actually has a world record for extras.
* In the teaser for ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]'''s sequel, a massive army charges over a hillside... and the Chosen One just stands there trying count how many's coming at him.
 
 
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 39:
** However, military parades are given very little attention in the series.
* Jesus' army of saints at the Battle of Armageddon in the [[Left Behind]] book ''Glorious Appearing''. Of course, they're mostly there to praise the Lord while Jesus does all the work of [[Curb Stomp Battle|slaying His enemies]] with the [[The Bible|Word Of God]].
 
 
== [[Music Video]] ==
* [[Gorillaz|Jamie]] [[Tank Girl|Hewlett's]] music video ''Monkey Bee'' is a remix of a song from his ''Monkey: Journey To The West'' album. As expected, it is loosely based on ''[[Journey to the West]]''. At the end of the video, the Monkey King is faced with a massive amry of the undead, resulting in a [[Bolivian Army Ending]]. The video can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdZjO-i_vxg here].
 
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
Line 56:
* Done at the beginning ''[[Gears of War]] 2'', complete with an inspiring speech.
* It's not actually an entire army, but when the US task force tries to arrest Occelot in Prague in [[Metal Gear Solid]] 4'', it takes over three minutes for the several dozens of trucks, ten patrol boats, six helicopters, and hundreds of soldiers to come out of their hiding spots and surround his boat on the river. But even with just three mooks and himself, Ocelot doesn't think about surrendering. But in a terrible subversion, {{spoiler|he already got the master password to shut down all their equipment and when the soldiers are ordered to open fire, nothing happens. Then Ocelots mooks start mowing down the entire Task Force in a few moments.}}
 
 
== Webcomics ==
* [[Order of the Stick]] makes use of this trope. <!-- A more specific example would be appreciated, of course. -->
 
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Animaniacs]]'' had one of these. Episode: 'King Yakko', a thinly disguised parody of ''[[Duck Soup]]'' with Yakko in the Groucho Marx role. He and his siblings search for the invading army, until it's pointed out. Yakko ends up seeing one of these. [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|He figures it'd take a commercial break to come up with a viable battle plan.]]
* [[Re Boot]]'s pilot episode has Megabyte's mooks marching across the underground lair. They aren't going anywhere, but it looks awesome and is only meant to intimidate Bob.
