Line 8: Not by [[Seltzer and Friedberg]], it's actually from Craig Mazin and David Zucker, the creative team behind ''[[Scary Movie]] 3'' and ''4''. While ''Superhero Movie'' still relies on some of their gags, it can still be considered as good a quality movie as the [[Scary Movie]] series. Being a parody of the ''[[Spider-Man (~~Film~~film)\|Spider-Man]]'' films, it uses the basic premise. Kid isn't popular, goes on field trip to science-y place, gets bitten by a bug, gets superpowers. Meanwhile, the kid's crush's boyfriend's uncle's company is working on an untested device that can cure anything and tries it on himself to heal his terminal illness, which is due to kill him in one hour. It explodes, and gives him some nifty powers that allow him to suck the life out of people, starting with the board of directors who were observing his demonstration. It's often lumped into the same category as [[Seltzer and Friedberg]] movies, often unfairly, although it received negative reviews from critics, the humour was matched to that of [[Scary Movie]]. {{tropelist}} * [[Actor Allusion]]: Rick accidentally kneeling on Leslie Nielsen's groin. It's in the trailer. It's also in ''[[The Naked Gun ~~(Film)~~\|Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear]]''. * [[Beard of Sorrow]]: Parodied {{spoiler\|It's fake}}. * [[Black Best Friend]]: Trey to Rick. * [[Butt Monkey]]: Rick. And Lance, to an extent. * [[Comically Missing the Point]]: The Hourglass's titanium blades can cut through diamonds. But Dragonfly's ace in the hole...? {{quote\| '''Dragonfly''': I'm not wearing any diamonds.}} * [[Composite Character]]: Lance fills the roles of both [[Jerk Jock\|Flash Thompson]] and Harry Osborn. * [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: Rick being tricked into attacking the Dalai Lama, and the fight that ensues. * [[Dolled-Up Installment]]: Inverted. Apparently the script began life as ''[[Scary Movie]] 4'', but got turned into its own film after the producers realised they weren't actually spoofing any horror flicks. * [[Embarrassing Cover Up]] * [[Farts Onon Fire]]: Rick and his girlfriend attempt to have a meaningful conversation by candlelight. Too bad Rick's sleeping aunt keeps farting... * [[Jerk Jock]]: Lance * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Rick seems to do this a lot. {{spoiler\|his parents deaths included.}} Line 34: [[Category:Zoic Studios]] [[Category:Superhero Movie]] [[Category:Super Title Index]] [[Category:Superhero Genre]] [[Category:Film]]
