we feel like we’ve seen this somewhere
before here’s Johnny Wow welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten spoofed
movie moments Johnny don’t for this list
we’re taking a look at iconic scenes
from movies that are constantly parodied
in popular culture
commander
since we’ll be talking about major plot
points here a spoiler alert is probably
called for number 10 I’m melting The
Wizard of Oz few final words in film are
more famous then I’m melting oh and I
thought of small amount of liquid
whatever follow me we’re not entirely
sure why water causes the Wicked Witch
of the West to melt we’re also baffled
as to why she keeps a bucket of the
stuff lying around her castle but that’s
just why this deus ex machina is right
for satire
these immortal lines have a way of
sneaking into numerous movies especially
when a character gets splashed with a
harmful liquid the mother must be the
melding seeing as how the Wizard of Oz
was likely one of the first movies you
ever saw growing up this is a reference
everybody in the audience can laugh at
number nine the Odessa steps battleship
potemkin
even if you’ve never seen this silent
Soviet film there is little doubt that
you’ll recognize its iconic staircase
scene
tell us if you’ve seen this before a
baby carriage is sent rolling down a
mounting flight of stairs as all hell
breaks loose in addition to being paid
homage to in films like The Untouchables
this scene has been parodied in
everything from Woody Allen comedies to
The Naked Gun franchise a scene like
this will also typically involve a
startled mother screaming my baby this
is a line that voice-over actress tress
MacNeille is all too familiar with as
she said it countless times throughout
her career it’s a miracle
thank heavens whoa number 8 low felled
and cat you only live twice the firing
power inside my crater is enough to
annihilate a small army when people
think of villains plotting to take over
the world the image of Ernst Stavro
Blofeld sitting in a chair petting his
white Persian cat instantly comes to
mind and when dr. evil gets angry mr.
bigglesworth gets upset and when mr.
bigglesworth gets upset people die now
it’s practically a necessity for every
devious mastermind to have a sinister
right-hand cat this trope has notably
been played with through dr. Klaus mad
cat and Inspector Gadget exactly when I
want him and dr. Evil’s mr. bigglesworth
in Austin Powers look what you did to
mr. bigglesworth
seeing a character stroked a cat behind
a desk instantly lets us know that he or
she is bad news but it also humorously
reveals that he or she at least has a
soft spot for animals fucking freezing
in here mr. bigglesworth number 7 you
talking to me
taxi driver you talking to me
talking to me whenever a character is
practicing his or her intimidation
skills it’s not uncommon for him or her
to look in a mirror and take a page out
of the book of Travis Bickle look do you
think you’re talking
although taxi-driver is by no means a
children’s movie are you talking to me
often pops up in family friendly
entertainment you talking to me you
talking to me
Tannen if you’re a millennial chances
are you heard this line for the first
time in Back to the Future Part three or
on an episode of Hey Arnold you talking
to me even Robert DeNiro poked fun at
his career defining scene in The
Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle are
you talking to me are you talking to me
kids may not get it but the adults in
the audience do you talking to me you
talking to me God
number six it’s alive Frankenstein
everybody knows about this legendary
scene in which the scientist known as
Frankenstein brings his monster to life
whenever anybody satirizes Frankenstein
you always know that they’re gonna work
the line it’s alive somewhere in there
actually pretty much any scene involving
a mad scientist a laboratory or a
reanimated dead guy requires a winking
nod to Frankenstein the potential for
satire is simply too tempting to resist
no matter how many times we see it
parodied this is one movie moment that
will truly never die I know what it
feels like to be gone number five say
hello to my little friend
Scarface it’s hard to think of a more
badass movie character than Tony Montana
his definitive moment being his last
stand and Proctor will just want to play
rough okay while taking out his enemies
with a machine gun is pretty hardcore
it’s a particularly that cements this
showdown in cinematic history
lay her on to my riddle friend since
Brian De Palma’s Scarface made its debut
we frequently seen this scene referenced
whenever a lone man stands up to an army
say hello my stinky little friend of
course the little friend in question
doesn’t necessarily have to be a weapon
maybe it’s an animal or maybe it’s
actually a little friend any cute this
is your little friend number four I am
your father
Star Wars Episode five the Empire
Strikes Back he told me you killed me I
am your father
virtually every scene in the Star Wars
saga has been parodied over the years Oh
what the hell’s that creepy little thing
well I’m not Yoda okay I’m Yoda among
them all however the reveal that Darth
Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father is
easily the most susceptible to satire
from Family Guy
spoiler alert okay no I am your father
to Robot Chicken to Spaceballs I am your
father’s brothers nephews cousins former
roommate there are too many hilarious
variations on this scene to count
everybody has lampooned it including
Mark Hamill himself I
and your father it’s one of those
cinematic moments that will stick with
us forever meaning that it’s bound to be
eternally satirized I am your father if
you think that’s impossible
search your feelings you know it to be
true I am your father
really no not really I can’t back that
up
number three training montage Rocky
we’re not saying that rocky invented the
sports movie montage but it is the first
movie that comes to mind whenever we
think of this trope
Rocky’s training sequence is full of
familiar beats that have been repeatedly
spoofed including punching meet and
running up a long flight of stairs the
gonna fly now theme has also become a
staple of any rocky parody
of course since the franchise has a
whole playlist of adrenaline-pumping
songs I have the tiger and hearts on
fire are also suitable substitutes as
long as it captures the rocky spirit the
satire is sure to provide a knockout
take that hostility and Hardison use it
you got the IV asshole my brother number
two bullet dodged the matrix after the
original matrix broke out into
mainstream popularity there were bullet
time spoofs everywhere
and we mean everywhere oh all right
don’t believe us halfway into 2002
bullet-time had already been parodied in
over 20 different films that’s not even
including all the TV shows and video
games that make fun of this visual
effect since the Matrix was satirized
relentlessly coming out of the gate we
haven’t seen quite as many bullet dodge
spoofs in recent years however we
continue to see the technique regularly
ripped off in action flicks G robot
dosey doe and closed with a matrix Oh
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions you want answers
I think I’m entitled you want the truth
you can’t handle the truth
number one shower scene psycho while
Marion cranes demise may have been a
jaw-dropping twist back in 1960 now
everybody knows about her infamous
shower scene part of that’s because
we’ve seen this sequence moved time
after time for over 50 years whenever a
shadowy figure creeps up behind a shower
curtain and that hair-raising violin
screech kicks in you know what’s coming
even Jamie Lee Curtis
Janet Lee’s daughter has gotten in on
the gag
I saw that movie 50 times as many times
as we’ve seen it parodied in the past a
good psycho spoof will always leave us
screaming for more do you agree with our
list yes what other movie moments keep
getting spoofed
