Line 38:
* [[Balcony Escape]]
* [[Bear Trap Bed]]: Nordberg's bed in the first movie
* [[BFG]]: Nordberg's cannon in ''2½''.
* [[Big Bad]]: Ludwig from ''Police Squad'', {{spoiler|Quentin}} from ''The Smell of Fear'' and Rocko from ''The Final Insult''.
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: Nordberg's cannon in ''2½''.
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Papshmir, [[The Man Behind the Man]] in ''Police Squad'' and ''The Final Insult'' is the over-arching antagonist of the series but has less screen time then the main villains of each movie.
* [[Big Stupid Doodoo Head]]: Frank, from ''2½'':
Line 53:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Nordberg.
** Dr. Meinheimer in ''The Smell of Fear''.
* [[The Cameo]]: [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al Yankovic]] in all three films.
** [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] in all three films:
*** In the first film, Frank's dramatic speech is cut short when Ed informs him that the massive crowd gathered outside his plane is actually for Weird Al. They go ecstatic when he departs the plane.
*** In ''The Smell of Fear'': As a criminal who has taken Ed, Nordberg, and the rest of the station hostage. Frank accidentally incapacitates him when opening a door too fast.
*** ''The Final Insult'': [[As Himself]] as [[Vanna White]]'s escort at the [[Academy Award|Oscars]].
** Thanks to the above-mentioned Oscars, the third movie has a whole pile of these.
** In the first movie, {{spoiler|Reggie Jackson}} is the one brainwashed into trying to assassinate the Queen.
Line 178 ⟶ 179:
* [[Unconventional Smoothie]]: Jane's "protein shake" in the second movie.
* [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]]: Goes further than usual with flips and cartwheels while Drebin is searching his house.
* [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Tanya's}} silhouette reveal in her final scene. (Also counts as a [[Shout-Out]], since it assumes you know [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]].)
* [[Western Terrorists]]: The Dillon gang in the third movie. Granted, they ''are'' secretly taking their orders from Arabs, but they're obviously plotting bombings more for the money than for hatred of the United States.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: In the first movie the Queen seems to be entirely forgotten about after the assassin is foiled. Technically she doesn't ''need'' to appear since she's out of danger but it's strange that we don't see her reaction to Frank talking down a hypnotized Jane despite multiple reaction shots from the other people in the stadium.
