Line 57:
* The opening sequence of ''[[All That Jazz]]'' is Bob Fosse showing that he can do ''A Chorus Line'' better in under five minutes with almost no dialog.
* The [[View Askewniverse]] movies have varying levels of this in each movie, but it reached fever pitch in ''Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back'', taking shots at pop culture, themselves, their audience, and everything in-between.
** The character of Elias in ''Clerks 2'' essentially exists so Kevin Smith can insist that ''[[Star Wars]]'' is better than ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' and ''[[Transformers]].'' He's [[Straw Loser|an unlikable mama's boy]] and fan of ''[[Transformers]]'' and ''LotR,'' while Randall is a mean yet likeable guy and a ''[[Star Wars]]'' fan, and even [[Writer on Board|copies Smith's statement]] that "''Lord of the Rings'' is just a bunch of people walking". They have a fight over which is better. Guess who "wins" and makes the other vomit.
* The [[So Bad It's Good|hilariously over-the-top]] biker movie ''[[Torque]]'' featured an opening scene in which two cars are engaged in a drag race using camera cuts and CGI effects in an obvious reference to ''The Fast and the Furious''... only for the lead character, on a motorcycle, to swoop in and easily outrun both of them. A few minutes later, he beats them both up at a gas station, quipping about the obvious inferiority of guys who drive cars. Yeah....
** Don't forget the scene where the main character repeats the line from Fast And The Furious-"I live my life a quarter-mile at a time" to which Shane replies-"That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard!"
