Line 52:
* The surreal 1959 movie ''Thunder in the Sun'' has 19th century French Basques killing Indians in California with [[wikipedia:Basque pelota|Cesta Punta]] and dancing Flamenco each night. It gets worse.
* The 1956 adaptation of ''Around the World in 80 Days'' has a stop in a stereotypical Spanish town where Passepartout (played by Cantinflas) is forced to do precisely Toros Y Flamenco.
* Featured as part of a [[Culture Equals Costume]] spoof of the United Nations' Security Council in ''[[Austin Powers]]: International Man of Mystery''. The Spanish representative is seen conversing with a matador and a tonadillera, just like [[
* The 2001 ''[[Masterpiece Theatre]]'' version of ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]'', and, likely, the Trevor Nunn stage production it was based on, has the Prince of Aragon show off with a flamenco dance step with fitting music to boot. Given that [[Did Not Do the Research|Aragon is in Northern Spain and has zero flamenco tradition]], this was about as accurate as portraying someone from Alaska as a ten gallon hat-wearing cowboy.
* In the [[Bollywood]] film ''[[Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara]]'' the three protagonists go to a stereotypical flamenco tableau ([[Non Sequitur Scene|where they have a typical Bollywood musical number]] on what it is otherwise a very nuanced movie with mostly non-diegetic music) go to the Tomanina festival and end in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, albeit the latter two are [[Justified Trope|justified]] because one of the characters actually wanted to experience it and planned the travel accordingly. Otherwise, the film surprisingly depicts Spain as a modern country (albeit in a touristy way).
