Line 90:
* In ''[[The Naked Gun]] 2½'', actor Lloyd Bochner has a small role as a member of a consortium of villains. Towards the end of the film, there's a hysterical crowd scene which features a split-second shot of him holding a large book entitled "[[To Serve Man]]", yelling "It's a cookbook!!" This is a reference to a [[wikipedia:To Serve Man (The Twilight Zone)|famous episode]] of the original ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' TV series which Bochner starred in.
** The climax of ''Naked Gun 33 1/3'' occurs at the Academy Awards, complete with a number of celebrities showing up as usual. Two of them are [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] and [[Wheel of Fortune|Vanna White]]. Frank and Jane tie them up with lights and drag them into the bushes, leaving a small but notable number of viewers wondering why they weren't [http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/weirdalyankovic/stuckinaclosetwithvannawhite.html stuffed into a closet] instead.
* The first scene of ''[[Tango and Cash]]'' has Tango saying "[https://web.archive.org/web/20140312122515/http://www.agonybooth.com/agonizer/Tango___Cash_1989.aspx Rambo is a pussy.]" Guess who plays Tango.
* ''[[The Freshman (1990 film)|The Freshman]]'' is all about this trope. [[Marlon Brando]] plays a powerful, shadowy, charismatic crime boss whose resemblance to [[The Godfather|Don Vito Corleone]] is remarked on by all the other characters. [[Matthew Broderick]]'s character tells [[Marlon Brando]]'s, "You know, you look an awful lot like [[The Godfather]]." The problem was that Marlon Brando tripled his body mass between movies, so he didn't really look that much like he did in ''[[The Godfather]]''.
* ''Fanboys'' has several, including, but not necessarily limited to; Ray "Darth Maul" Park doing some of the acrobatics from his ''Star Wars'' role, and Carrie "Princess Leia" Fisher responding with "I know" to "I love you".
