History LukeIAmYourFather / Film

* [[TheParody Parodied]] in ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'' with Dr. Evil claiming to be Austin's father (in an exaggerated voice akin to Vader's) and then admitting almost immediately that he was just making it up. [[spoiler: In a twist, the third movie features the revelation that Austin and Dr. Evil were in fact brothers, separated as infants.]]

** [[TheParody Parodied]] with a Buzz Lightyear action figure (not the main one) and his archnemesis Evil Emperor Zurg reenacting a [[BeamMeUpScotty slightly modified]] version of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' reveal, complete with an (intentionally) overdramatic BigNo.

'''Buzz:''' I'll never give in! YouKilledMyFather!\\

** Happens yet again in ''Film/TheForceAwakens''. This time, [[spoiler:Han Solo and Leia Organa are Kylo Ren's parents, although this is only a surprise to the audience, not the characters]].

* Near the beginning of ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven'', Godfrey reveals to Balian that Balian is his illegitimate son. The theatrical cut has him outright dropping the trope name, although even before that, it's fairly clear where he's going with the lead-up; the director's cut drops the line, leaving the revalation slightly more implied, but again, it's not hard to understand what he's saying.

'''Buzz:''' Oh, you're a great dad!

'''Zurg:''' No, Buzz. I ''am'' your father.\\

* ''Lou''. The title character is helping Hannah track down her abusive ex-husband Philip who has kidnapped their daughter Vee. Halfway through the movie we discover that Philip is Lou's estranged son. Hannah is understandably furious not least because Lou, while secretly protecting Vee, has not made the slightest effort to bond with her.

** According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, this was meant to be played again in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', where Palpatine would tell Anakin that he created him from midichlorians, before Lucas heavily changed the script, although the implication that Plagueis created him was nonetheless present. It was nonetheless implied that Palpatine was at least somewhat involved alongside Plagueis in manipulating the midichlorians into creating him in the Legends novel ''Literature/DarthPlagueis'', although Anakin's creation was actually not just an accident (they were intending to manipulate them into creating a Sith weapon), but they [[TheDogBitesBack struck back]] and [[NiceJobFixingItVillain created the very means to destroy them]].

* ''Film/TwentyTwoJumpStreet'' features Schmidt's love interest, Maya, a student at the college where they are undercover. It is later revealed that she is the daughter of Captain Dickson, Schmidt's boss. (Dickson is furious; Jenko finds it hilarious.)

** TropeNamer. This is TheReveal from [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack the second part]] of the original trilogy.[[note]]The line as it's frequently quoted is actually BeamMeUpScotty; the [[Radio/StarWarsRadioDramas radio]] and [[ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977 Marvel Comics]] adaptations ''do'' render it as "No, Luke, I '''am''' your father", however.[[/note]] The reason that this reveal worked and a lot of the imitators fell flat was that a big part of Luke's story revolved around his [[TellMeAboutMyFather Jedi Knight father]], whom he sought to emulate as a Jedi himself, which was ''why'' Luke let out the BigNo in response to the AwfulTruth about said father being revealed. In addition to that, this also means that both Obi-Wan and Yoda had been lying to him ever since they met. It also gives new light to Uncle Owen's reasons for refusing to let Luke accept the CallToAdventure, in particular Aunt Beru's assessment that "he's got too much of his father in him" and Owen's response "That's what I'm afraid of". Also, the reveal in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' is that Leia is Luke's sister.

* ''Film/{{Transamerica}}'': when Toby, a teen runaway who had made a living as a hustler and who seems to only show affection sexually, attempts to seduce the {{Transgender}} woman, Bree, who is adopting him, her only recourse is explain him that she was, in fact, his ''father'' before transitioning. She'd kept it secret from him because she knew he thought his father was a famous actor and didn't want to disillusion him. The fact that the audience already knows this is a considerable source of {{Squick}} in the scene.

** That would make him either Lone Starr's former roommate, his cousin's former roommate or Lone Starr's brother's former roommate (assuming he has one).

-->'''Godfrey (theatrical cut):''' I...''knew'' your mother. To be courteous, I should say that it was against her objections, but I did not force her. I loved her in my way. (''Beat'') Balian, I'm your father.
-->'''Godfrey (director's cut):''' I...''knew'' your mother. To be courteous, I should say that it was against her objections... but I did not force her. (''Beat'') I have forgiveness to ask of you.

** [[TheParody Parodied]] with a Buzz Lightyear action figure (not the main one) and his archnemesis Evil Emperor Zurg reenacting a [[BeamMeUpScotty slightly modified]] version of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' reveal.

* Near the beginning of ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven'', Godfrey reveals to Balian that Balian is his illegitimate son. The theatrical cut has him outright saying, "Balian, I'm your father"; the director's cut drops the line and lets the implication speak for itself.
