Line 35:
* [[Car Chase]]: And when it starts, a subtitle appears to identify it as "The Chase Scene".
* [[Character as Himself]]: Mike Jittlov is credited as being played by "The Wizard". The Wizard, subsequently, is listed as portraying himself.
* [[Clip Art Animation]]: A cut-out tour bus passes a postcard image of Hollywood's famous Chinese Theater. According to [[Word of God]] this was a quick-and-dirty solution to a missing shot, intended to be replaced in the never-made final cut of the film.
* [[Closed Captioning]]: Several scenes start with helpful subtitles to identify what part of the movie they are, such as [[Car Chase|"The Chase Scene"]], "The Romantic Scene", etc.
* [[Cool Bike]]: Mike's bike, with its (powerful!) antitheft system and just-as-powerful but pretty much invisible motor.
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* [[Empathic Environment]]: When Mike and Brian are filming the "Time" segment in Mike's garage, all manner of things -- all the way up to an incipient earthquake -- seem to happen in response to Mike and his comments.
* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]: The remake of the "Speed" segment is far more liberally sprinkled with sparkles than the original, culminating in a literal explosion of them in the final seconds.
** Simultaneously averted, mocked ''and'' invoked during the sequence where Lucky and Bookman argue over how expensive it is to add sparkles to the footage they're editing even as Mike adds them to his film on his homemade editing rig in his garage with apparently no effort.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: [[In-Universe]] example when Harvey tries every underhanded tactic he can come up with to sink Mike's production.
* [[Film Leader Gag]]: The film jumps to a "SMPTE Universal"-style leader after the opening credits, with a voiceover that makes it clear we are watching someone watching one of Jittlov's films in a screening room. The leader is filled with subliminal jokes (just like the rest of the film), and the "clock face" countdown begins behaving very oddly.
