Line 16:
* [[Eye Poke]]: Used against Dick Steele. He blocks successfully but he's punched out immediately after anyway.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Followed the spy movie parody genre - which is odd because [[James Bond]] never took itself seriously anyway.
* [[Full -Moon Silhouette]]: Executed during the ''[[Speed (Film)|Speed]]'' parody, during the bus jump.
* [[Hollywood Silencer]]: The bad guys use a pillow to silence the ''machine gun'' they are using to execute prisoners.
** To be fair, they were using it to execute a [[Acceptable Target|mime]].
*** Even better, in the Dutch subtitles, they "''leg hem het zwijgen op''". ("Silence him.")
* [[Inner Monologue Conversation]]: A seductress responds vocally to Dick's [[Inner Monologue]].
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Bill Conti's score utilizes numerous parodies of famous movie music, including ''[[Home Alone]]'', ''[[True Lies]]'', ''[[ETE.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', ''[[In the Line of Fire]]'', and ''[[Speed (Film)|Speed]]''.
* [[Left the Background Music On]]: [[Da Chief|The Chief]] is talking, while facing the camera, about how horrible it will be if General Rancor succeeds in his master plan, while a violin is playing in the background. He then gets annoyed and turns around to yell at the violinist standing to the side.
* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: Parodied. The heroes get jumped by enemy mooks mid-montage.
Line 46:
* [[Take My Hand]]
* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]]
* [[This Page Will Self -Destruct]]: Steele leaves the tape recorder in the helicopter that he was being flown in.
* [[Wafer-Thin Mint]]
* [[Wag the Director]]: The final screenplay for the film was supposedly thrown together hastily by Leslie Nielsen, Rick Friedberg and another writer, after Nielsen had serious issues with the original screenplay that Jason Friedberg and Aaron Selzter had written. This probably accounts for the somewhat disjointed nature of the final product.
