* The 1980s and '90s ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' movies feature some of this. In ''Film/GodzillaVsBiollante'' it's used (and mangled) for any time a character is speaking a foreign language (which is disappointing seeing that the previous film featured actors speaking English in American roles and Russian in Soviet roles quite competently). In ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah'', as Terasawa is about to detonate a bomb placed on the Futurians' computers, he intones "Make my day!" in a way that sounds half badass, half narm. In ''Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzillaII'', during one of the Mechagodzilla training sims, everyone speaks (bad) English. And in ''Film/GodzillaVsSpaceGodzilla'', as Shinjo and Sato prepare to give chase to Godzilla on a motorcycle, one of them says "Okay! Aye aye, sir!" with a very thick accent.
** The American characters in ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' (most of whom are {{Badass}}es to some degree) never say ''anything'' in Japanese. This makes sense for the New Yorkers, and even the two working at Godzilla's Antarctic prison, but you'd think Gordon and Kazama would have taken a "rooma-shi ni toki" attitude by now. But then, everyone understands everything they say anyway, so why bother?
