Line 112:
* Twice in the 2003 live-action adaptation of ''[[Peter Pan (film)|Peter Pan]]'', Smee addresses the audience, in both cases to remark on the story ("It's all a bit tragic, isn't it?" and "How exciting, two dead so far!") in progress.
* In ''Zombie Strippers'', a man is pulled into the champagne room by the zombified stripper played by Jenna Jameson. When the man says "Baby, I've been dying to get to a lap dance with you!", Jameson smiles and shoots the camera a look that positively shatters the fourth wall.
* In the [[Marx Brothers]]' ''[[HorsefeathersHorse Feathers]]'', Groucho's putting the moves on Thelma Todd is interrupted by Chico's barging in. He launches into one of his piano numbers; Groucho steps up to the screen and tells us "You know, I've gotta stay here, but there's no reason you shouldn't go out to the lobby 'til this whole thing blows over!"
** Also, in ''The Big Store'', Groucho parades some beautiful women. One of them is wearing a red dress and he tells the audience that 'This dress is really bright red, but Technicolor is ''sooo'' expensive'.
** And in ''Go West'', after the brothers hijack a train and tie up the engineer, after putting a sock in his mouth, Groucho turns to the camera and says "You know this is the best gag in the picture?"
Line 144:
** Threepio turns more ''past'' than ''towards'' the camera, and he has a habit of muttering to himself when annoyed, like the cantankerous old droid he is. He has an entire monologue about how R2-D2 tricked him while walking alone through the desert in ''[[A New Hope]]''.
* In ''[[The Neverending Story]]'', the Childlike Empress explains that Atreyu brought the Savior after all, since Bastian has been following Atreyu via his emotional investment in Atreyu's story. "And as he is sharing your story," she adds, "others are sharing his"--implying the audience that has watched this far.
* It's also worth noting that movie trailers have often broken the fourth wall, either in out of character contexts (such as the famous trailer for ''[[Psycho]]'' featuring Alfred Hitchcock giving a tour of the Bates House), or in character, such as [[Pierce Brosnan]] in ''[[GoldeneyeGoldenEye (film)|GoldenEye]]'' addressing the audience, "You were expecting someone else?".
* [[Inspector Gadget (film)|Inspector Gadget]]: Uses this in a very unsubtle way. The nostalgia critic gets suitably annoyed when reviewing the film. (See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IlbxUbR_us4#t=252s Here])
* In the [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney]] version of ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'', when The Queen/Witch says that there may be an antidote to the Sleeping Death, it looks like she's talking to the audience.
