Line 98:
* ''[[The Fifth Element (Film)|The Fifth Element]]''. [[Mysterious Waif]] [[MacGuffin Girl]]? Check. [[Large Ham]] [[Sissy Villain]]? Check. [[Testosterone Poisoning|Ultra-manly man]] [[Action Hero]] played by [[Bruce Willis]]? Check. [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]], [[Flying Car|hovercar]] [[Chase Scene|chases]], [[Waif Fu]], [[Eldritch Abomination|the Ultimate Evil]], and {{spoiler|the world being saved through [[The Power of Love]]}}? Check, check, check, check, ''check.'' This movie is practically cheesy sci-fi incarnate, and it's AWESOME.
* ''[[Stardust (Film)|Stardust]]'' pretty much plays every fairytale trope to the hilt. An earlier example of the same is ''[[The Princess Bride (Film)|The Princess Bride]]''.
* ''[[The Expendables]]''. [[George Lucas Throwback|There's a reason]] [[Rule of Cool|why it's currently]] [[Rated
* ''[[Mortal Kombat Annihilation (Film)|Mortal Kombat Annihilation]]'' was apparently written with a copy of the ''[[Evil Overlord List]]'' at hand to make sure that every single point possible (excluding the high tech ones) was prominent in the plot. #1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 20 (in practically every scene), 21, 22, 24, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34 (my personal favorite), 35, 36, 39, 53, 55, 56, 58, 64, 73 (the entire point of the movie!), 75 (more so in the first movie, but still here), 78 and 88 are all done in true ''[[Up to Eleven]]'' style.
* ''[[Black Dynamite]]'' finds a way to work in almost every relevant trope, filmmaking convention, and even plotline from 70s Blaxploitation films in the course of creating an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the genre. According to [[Word of God]] it was even deeper in that the actors were actually playing the fictional actors making the film.
