Line 33:
* ''[[Foul Play (Film)|Foul Play]]'' takes place during a performance of The Mikado, and features [[The Pope]] as the assassination target.
* The ''[[Get Smart (Film)|Get Smart]]'' movie takes place during a performance of [[Ludwig Van Beethoven|Beethoven]]. The target is the President of the United States, and in a little bit of overkill, the terrorists intend to detonate a nuclear device at the end of the performance. (And yes, the bomb is in the piano.)
* Played for laughs in the ''[[Police Squad!|Naked Gun]]'' movies; the first movie takes place during a baseball game, where the target is Queen Elizabeth II, whereas the third takes place during the Oscars, where the target is a bunch of random celebrities.
* ''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'' features the heroes arriving at a science fiction convention in a space ship, which crashes through the wall. And then Jason finally gets rid of the [[Big Bad]] and kisses Gwen - much to the appreciation of the audience, who think it's [[All Part of the Show]].
* Not quite an action movie, but the ending of ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]] 3'' takes place at an opera and involves an assassination attempt. {{spoiler|The target is a mob boss who survives, but his beloved daughter is killed.}}
