Line 22:
* [[Creator Killer]]: After this film, Reiner's directorial career plummeted.
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: Just about every depiction of every ethnicity. {{spoiler|Justified because [[Invoked Trope|it's all in North's imagination]] and that's all he knows.}}
* [[Doing It for Thethe Art]]: Reiner wanted to create a touching, personal fable; his very own ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Filmfilm)|The Wizard of Oz]]''.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Played straight and inverted. Foreigners and Americans who don't exactly fit Type 1 are shoehorned into Type 2.
* [[Enfant Terrible]]: Winchell.
Line 29:
<!-- %% "Fridge" stuff goes on the Fridge page. Just click the lightbulb at the top of the page. -->
<!-- %% -->
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: [[In -Universe]] -- there's nothing on TV in France but [[Jerry Lewis]] movies.
* [[Hollywood Atlas]]: Most of the segments are horrific pastiches of cultural stereotypes, including:
** [[Eskimo Land]]
Line 39:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: North's "crack".
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Winchell would've been one [[All Just a Dream|if the whole thing had actually happened]].
* [[Magnum Opus Dissonance]]: As stated under [[Doing It for Thethe Art]], this was supposed to be Reiner's equivalent to ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Filmfilm)|The Wizard Of Oz]]''. [[Creator Killer|It wasn't]].
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The assassination plot in the final third is awfully dark for a light fantasy.
* [[Prophetic Names]]: The evil journalist kid is named [[wikipedia:Walter Winchell|Winchell]].
