** A moment later, the tape clearly ''doesn't'' know what she's going to say. Harry has to fast-forward past a bit of the tape where the speaker thought she'd be wearing nylons, and then he has to rewind it to repeat a request when she protests.
* In ''[[Tapeheads]]'', the main characters' office space is protected by a video of a security guard firing at anyone who trips the system, as shown when [[Sleazy Politician|Norman Mart's]] men bust in, and they fire back, not realizing it's only a video. The video guard even scoffs at them when they run out of bullets, and puts down his gun and salutes just as the main characters (who had been out) walk in.
** A couple of scenes later, [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|a limbo band shows up]], and the guard on tape is seen dancing along to the music.
* Spoofed (of course) in the movie ''[[Spy Hard]]'' staring Leslie Nielsen. The [[Big Bad]] of the movie, who was thought to be dead, sends a tape to the government agency with the typical threat of blowing something up with a stolen warhead. When we first see the scene you aren't really sure it's just a recording, as it seems to be responding perfectly to the men watching. But used later as a [[Brick Joke]] when Nielsen's character is watching the tape in his house and it runs in the background including all the pauses.
