* HollywoodOld: The in-universe film being produced is meant to have Cameron Diaz kill Meryl Streep. When this backfires and Meryl ends up killing Cameron, the movie producers end up replacing Johnny and Nick in the film with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon respectively, in order to still be able to appeal to a teenage audience.

The eighth episode of the second season of Celebrity Deathmatch, also known as '''Celebrity Deathmatch: The Motion Picture'''.

This episode consists of one pre-determined fight, one pre-recorded fight from the Deathmatch archives, and one scripted fight to the death as part of a film production. The first undercard features a showdown between directors Creator/MartinScorsese and Creator/OliverStone, to determine who will be directing the Deathmatch movie. The ensuing interval features an archived fight featuring [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] and Creator/JohnWayne. The "main event" is the premise of the Deathmatch movie, featuring rising icon Creator/CameronDiaz and veteran actress Creator/MerylStreep.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* BatterUp: Groucho hits John over the head with a baseball bat during the fight.
* TheCameo: This episode features appearances from Creator/BenAffleck, Creator/MattDamon, and two of the other Marx brothers, Chico and Harpo.
* EyeScream: After Oliver demands explosions to emphasise his win, a crew member accidentally drops their camera into the ring, which lands directly in Oliver's eye.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Meryl snatches a boom pole from the sound engineer and plants it firmly in Cameron's chest, killing her.
* InstrumentOfMurder: John's head is sliced up when he is thrown into a harp.
* MisplacedAccent: During early takes of their fight, Meryl slips into an Irish accent, followed by a Bulgarian accent. Mills just tells her to speak normally.
* TheMovie: In-universe, as the main event has been scripted as part of a film production that's set for theatrical release.
* OffWithHisHead: Martin is decapitated with a clapperboard.
* TheVoiceless: Harpo Marx, as per his character, doesn't utter a single sound whenever he is on screen.
* YouJustRuinedTheShot: Meryl has a hard time finding her character and thus repeatedly gives sub-par performances, until she finally discovers herself and starts going off-script, much to the dismay of the film crew.
