I would have seen this on TV in the 80s. There's a chase scene with two people in a flat-nosed semi. When the bad guys catch up and things get hot, they either climb or drop down in a compartment under the cab. Seconds later they emerge from under the cab in a sleek flat sports car that's been hidden as part of the truck. I'm not 100% sure of the following: the bad guys were on bikes, the chase happened in a forest or jungle area, and the sports car was red and white.

Gonna say that's very probably it! It's way different in my head, but how many movies are gonna have done this exact gag? Plus we're talking about 30 year old preschooler memories here. Thanks!

Wayne's World comes to mind immediately, but I've got a feeling some other movie aped it more the way you say, too. Also a late episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus where one character shops for endings and tries different ones, finishing on "perhaps just cut to black?"

I don't want to say it's not a promising lead, but that kind of shapeshifting duel is also pretty firmly entrenched in folklore and probably pops up in a lot of places.

Darthemed posted:That’s Mr. Nanny, for sure. Tangentially related question: was that the movie that spawned the "musclebound he-man media star has to deal with children" subgenre, or is there something earlier? So far I've got a list of Mr. Nanny, Kindergarten Cop, The Pacifier, Tooth Fairy and My Spy, and could organize the worst cinematic retrospective in history.

I'm actually running into trouble attempting to sharply define the subgenre, cause I'm really about the specific idea of these movies starring an established masculinity icon who isn't primarily an actor. But that kinda falls apart with The Pacifier cause Vin Diesel is primarily an actor rather than a wrestler or bodybuilder. At the same time, while there's a definite genre of "manly men thrown into taking care of kids", which Three Men And A Baby and Mr. Mom definitely fall under, I still instinctively feel that there is a specific subgenre of "manly men you already know as manliness icons thrown into taking care of kids". Of course, then you get into thinking about by what virtues a manliness icon is actually defined in each era of popular media - can you really discount Tom Selleck because he isn't a sports star - and long story short I think there might be an actual media/gender studies thesis in there. (With the general theme of these movies being "(traditionally) masculine man has to take on (traditionally) feminine qualities" I don't think we can discount Mrs. Doubtfire as a particularly overt example.)

I didn't know about this before, but if you search for Orson Welles in imdb you get a keyword suggestion distinguishing Orson Welles the person from Orson Welles the character in other works: https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=orson-welles-character

Loaded Weapon definitely had a Basic Instinct spoof scene, don't especially remember that bit but I think I only ever saw an edited version.

There's a scene in the comic Preacher that has almost exactly that line. Maybe you've read it and misremember it as a movie, or maybe the line made it into the show if you've seen that?

A MIRACLE posted:Ok I got another one, old movie I think black and white. The opening scene is a man in an upstairs office and he’s on a rolling / swivel chair. He’s like really good at office work and he’s spinning himself around and pushing himself across the room slamming cabinets and filing lots of files and just being really efficient at his job. I think he might be smoking too idk. It would have taken a lot of practice to pull the scene off. Does that ring a bell for anyone Kinda sounds like something Buster Keaton might have done but it was probably just the style of the time and I'm pulling the first name that comes to mind. There probably were a lot of people doing routines like that at the time. Plus Keaton would have gone out one window with the chair and back in another and I feel like you would have mentioned

Rupert Buttermilk posted:This randomly reminds me of something.... Did TNG ever have them go back in history to something that hadn't happened in or before 20th century Earth history? The show takes place in, what, the 2200's? They're exploring the universe, and yet, time after time, there's a holodeck outing involving history that happened on earth, centuries before Jean Luc was born.

Hannibal Rex posted:In the late 80s/early 90s, there was an interesting European TV movie concept. It was wo versions of the same story, one from the pov of a male character, the other female. It was broadcast simultaneously across two different channels, and you could switch between them to be your own editor.  e: they did broadcast it in other countries the same way, it looks like.
