* AccidentalInnuendo: Used in ''Film/Carrie2013'', which is doubly funny if you remember [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the metaphor]] of the movie.
-->''CHLOË is getting ready to go to PROM with ANSEL.''
-->'''Creator/{{JULIANNE MOORE}}:''' The hell she is! You get back in your closet you harlot!
-->(''is TK’d into the air'')
-->'''[[Creator/ChloeMoretz CHLOË GRACE MORETZ]]:''' Bitch I got powers now. I’m out of the closet and I’m never going back in! (''thinks'') You know what I mean!
* AlternateAesopInterpretation: ''Film/{{Us}}'' has Creator/LupitaNyongo and Evan Alex deliver two different morals (They share these before TheReveal that [[spoiler:Lupita and "Repeata" switched places as girls, but unbeknownst to Lupita, Evan has already figured it out]]):
-->'''Lupita N'yongo:''' Well, son, let that be a lesson to you. Always confront your personality flaws by succeeding in combat against an archetypal other. Only by externalizing your fears and physically killing them can you achieve self-actualization as a character.
-->'''Evan Alex:''' You sure? I still feel slightly sympathetic for those wretched souls trapped in a literal underclass. Almost as if my consumerist middle-class existence is built on the backs of invisible millions suffering just out of view while I distract myself with familiar hobbies and the trappings of unappreciated wealth.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The script for ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' offers a new take on Sallah:
-->'''Creator/KarenAllen:''' John, you're okay? Last we saw, the Nazis had you at gunpoint. They just let you go?
-->'''Creator/JohnRhysDavies:''' Er, yes. But let's not worry about that. And let's also not worry about how they track down the boat that I'll put you on, later in the movie. Or how they knew that you were in Cairo in the first place. Or how I manage to support a wife and twelve kids doing menial labour. Ha, ha ha.
* AluminumChristmasTrees: The site's...err, ''script'' (and that's being generous) for "[[http://www.the-editing-room.com/gooby.html Gooby]]", the only one on the entire site not to have a [[BrokeTheRatingScale star rating]], is so [[SurrealHorror nonsensical and nightmarish]], you'd assume the whole thing is just a bizarre joke, right? Wrong. ''Film/{{Gooby}}'' is actually a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooby real film.]]
* AntiClimaxBoss:
** ''Film/WrathOfTheTitans'' Lampshades this for the Minotaur.
--->'''Minotaur:''' OH YEAH BABY! I'VE BEEN STUCK DOWN HERE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND I'M READY TO KICK SOME FUCKING ASS! COME ON SAM! GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT!
--->(''gets punched'')
--->(''dies'')
--->'''Creator/SamWorthington:''' What's the point of introducing these mythical creatures only to kill them off in less time than it takes to microwave popcorn?
** Also in the script for ''Film/{{Parker}}'':
--->'''CLIFTON COLLINS JR.:''' Come out and face us, Jason, we got J-Lo! You have no choice but to--
--->(''explodes'')
--->'''Creator/{{JASON STATHAM}}:''' Ha ha, I came by earlier and planted weapons everywhere! And disabled most of YOUR weapons, knowing that you would never test them before a big heist. I was concerned that being the star of the movie might not be enough of an advantage.
--->'''Creator/{{MICHAEL CHIKLIS}}:''' Then I guess it's finally time for our climactic showd--
--->(''torn in half'')
--->'''MICAH A. HAUPTMAN:''' You won't defeat ME so ea--
--->(''crushed into singularity'')
* BrokenBase: The ''Film/SpringBreakers'' script lead to a huge debate in the comments whether the movie was a [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory satire of the inherent nihilism of youth culture]] and the author missed the point or he was correct in criticizing the movie for just being [[EndingFatigue long]], [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment repetitive]], [[FauxSymbolism and pretentious]].
* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** From ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'', after some excessive pacing:
--->'''Creator/RichardHarris:''' OH MY GODRIC, you guys. This is a Creator/ChrisColumbus movie with Chris Columbus pacing, if you keep delaying things I'll be Creator/MichaelGambon by winter. Move along!
** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' Bucky Barnes tries to placate Tony Stark by telling him [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice their mothers have the same name]]. Keep in mind the latter just found out that the former [[spoiler: ''killed'' his parents]].
* CrossoverShip: Referenced in the caption under the picture for ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', which reads:
-->Okay, who's been shipping Loki with ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}?
* EndingFatigue: Lampshaded in several scripts.
** The script of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing'' ended four times.
** In the script of ''[[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo]]'', the ''audience'' yells at Creator/DavidFincher for the movie's reluctance to end.
* EsotericHappyEnding: While Pet Semetary’s new ending is much more hopeful than the original’s with Gage escaping, getting adopted, winning the Super Bowl and becoming President, his family are still zombies and he will never see them again.
* GeniusBonus: For the ''Film/{{W}}'' script, the words "[=MISERABLE FAILURE=]" show up capitalized. This would be a reference to the infamous Google bombing that tied W's homepage with the string "miserable failure".
* {{Glurge}}: ''Film/LaLaLand'''s "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" sequence goes from Creator/EmmaStone rambling about believing in yourself and your dreams, to literally the word, "glurge", written repeatedly.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** This quote from ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' script, since the actor Richard Griffiths died of complications from heart surgery at the age of 65:
--->'''Creator/{{DANIEL RADCLIFFE}}''': Holy Jesus, what happened to you? It's time to lay off the snacks or you'll never make it to the last movie, buddy.
** The ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' script's fabricated cameo from Film/{{Captain Marvel| 2019}} "recalls" Spider-Man helping save the day in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. [[spoiler:Instead, Thanos destroyed him until ''Avengers: Endgame''.]]
** Towards the end of the ''Film/Venom2018'' script, Creator/MichelleWilliams expresses disgust at the thought of this movie potentially having one of the last Creator/StanLee cameos. Stan Lee passed away little over two weeks later, meaning that this one was indeed the last one shown before his death, making this comment sound especially morbid.[[note]]Although he did finish filming a few more for upcoming Marvel films that was shown posthumously, including one for this film's sequel, ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' (as a cover image on a magazine).[[/note]]
** ''Series/{{WandaVision}}'' Episode 7 ends with Creator/KathrynHahn wielding a Grammy, and musically mocking inaccurate fan theories to the tune of "Agatha All Along." The original song would earn a Grammy nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media, only to lose to Music/BoBurnham's "[[Film/BoBurnhamInside All Eyes On Me]]."
** In the ''Film/BabyDriver'' script, Creator/ChristopherPlummer snarks about Creator/GeorgeTakei being exposed as a sexual harasser after model Scott Brunton accused him of drugging and groping him. Brunton's story was later discredited and he retracted the accusation.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** The script for ''[[Film/XMen1 X-Men]]'' mocked Magneto's plastic prison, suggesting that Magneto could simply use the iron in a guard's blood to kill him. Then ''[[Film/X2XMenUnited X-Men 2]]'' came out...
** On August 4, 2013, Creator/PeterCapaldi was revealed as [[TheNthDoctor the new]] [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor.]] In the script for ''Film/WorldWarZ'', published three weeks earlier on July 11, 2013:
--->'''Creator/PeterCapaldi:''' Hee hee, we're all credited as "WHO Doctor", which is like Doctor Who backwards. Hee hee.
** This line from the ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' script can also apply to the ending of ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'':
--->'''Captain America:''' Our team consists of two black guys, two white women, and one white guy, so I guess it's pretty clear who's in charge.
** Then the script for ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'' came out and revealed that the irony wasn't lost on the writers:
--->'''Captain America:''' Okay, I got two black guys, two women, and a robot. That should keep the bleeding-heart pinko Commies satisfied... until this team horribly fucks up and starts the Civil War, of course!
** The first sentence of ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' sarcastically states that the DeliberatelyMonochrome, 4:3 opening successfully evokes ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' despite "eye-popping stereoscopic 3D". ''The Wizard of Oz'' received an IMAX 3D conversion six months later.
** The ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' Abridged Script has Creator/ChrisPratt figure out Creator/MichaelRooker as his father, and stubbornly disregard any denials of obvious hints. ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' ended up revealing someone else as Star-Lord's dad. The ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' script has "[[Creator/DaveBautista Dave Bluetista]]" start to recall Pratt's first guess, only for Pratt to cut him off by [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial denying that he ever believed it.]][[note]]Ironically, in the actual ''Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'', ''Drax'' says he believed Yondu was Star-Lord's father, then Star-Lord calls it an unbelievable guess.[[/note]]
** In the script for ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Captain America asks Black Widow "Could you go soothe Hulk Ruffalo with gentle caresses and whispers? We could ask Thor, who can actually survive a Hulk punch, but last time it got kinda ewwww." Then comes ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', in which Thor ''does'' try to use Black Widow's calming method on Hulk...and ''does'' get a Hulk punch for his trouble.
** When ''Literature/BenHur'' galley workers compete over who could have the most over-the-top faint, the last one disintegrates upon touching the ground. Had this script come out at least [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar two years later]], someone would've likely exclaimed a BigNo afterwards.
** ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' has Boba Fett end his premature victory gloat by asking, "Dammit. This shitty movie's my finest hour isn't it?" He'd eventually top himself in ''Series/TheMandalorian'', to critical and audience acclaim.
** The alternate title for ''Film/Venom2018'' is "Box Office Poison" and one line is "Make it go viral and maybe we can recoup our losses from all the people seeing this movie ironically." There are quite a few comments noting the author managed to be both wrong in it being "box office poison" (the movie's opening weekend alone was $389 million worldwide) and right in how it managed to be financially successful (while reviews seem to be pretty mixed, many people appear to have gone to watch it ironically due to word-of-mouth about it being a GuiltyPleasure). The script for the sequel ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' includes this tongue-in-cheek Retcon:
--->'''Creator/{{TOM HARDY}}''': I'm sorry Venom. The first movie worked beyond anyone's wildest dreams, and our chemistry gained us legions of fans, exactly like the abridged script predicted. I shouldn't have tampered with the formula, except for the rule of sequels kind of demanding that I do that.
** ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' ends with [[spoiler:instead of Tails, the original design for Sonic coming out seeking revenge on the replacement.]] ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' [[spoiler:would feature 'Ugly Sonic' as a character, only he's a chill guy coming to terms with how he was denied his lucky break.]]
** In ''Film/RogueOne'', Creator/DiegoLuna assures Creator/FelicityJones that [[spoiler:even though they won't survive the movie]], they could come back in prequels. Jones would later reprise Jyn Erso in ''WebAnimation/StarWarsForcesOfDestiny'', then Luna would reprise Cassian Andor in the aptly-titled ''Series/{{Andor}}''. This doubles as HeartwarmingInHindsight for Luna; despite the script predicting that he would only play a supporting role in a disposable prequel, he instead got to headline one of the most-acclaimed ''Star Wars'' TV shows.
** Before a security guard in ''Film/EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce'' {{Ass Shove}}s a buttplug-shaped trophy into himself, he remarks, "Hope this movie didn't have any Oscar aspirations." It went on to receive seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.
* HoYay:
** Made fun of in the ''Film/MenInBlack3'' script:
--->'''Creator/{{WILL SMITH}}''': Hell with it. Let's just get out of here before they decide to add some weirdly homoerotic overtones to the end of the movie.
--->'''Music/{{PITBULL}}''' ''(serenading Tommy and Will over the closing credits)'': Baby/ My sweet baby/ You're the one.
** And again in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' (not that it was that hard to notice).
--->'''Creator/ChrisEvans:''' Don’t you recognize me, Sebastian?
--->(''trades punches'')
--->'''Creator/ChrisEvans:''' We grew up together!
--->(''trades punches'')
--->'''Creator/ChrisEvans:''' We’re best friends!
--->(''trades punches'')
--->'''Creator/ChrisEvans:''' [[BreadMilkEggsSquick We touched willies once!]]
** The theme continues in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' when Cap meets Black Panther:
--->'''Creator/ChrisEvans:''' Hm, I wonder who this mysterious newcomer is, with his ripped body, skin-tight black bodysuit and sexy sharp fingernails... er, um, I mean, beer and sports! Har har. War is hell.
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Lampshaded ''constantly!''
* NightmareFuel:
** ''Film/{{Gooby}}'' and ''Film/JackAndJill'', well, let's just say the writers are surprisingly good with horror.
** From ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'':
---> (''On the edge of town, a new PORTAL opens up. A small, FURRY CGI CREATURE hops out.'')
---> '''[[AnimalisticAbomination CGI SONIC FROM THE ORIGINAL TRAILER]]:''' (''[[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes glowing red]]'') Must. Kill. Impostor.
---> (''FLOWERS WILT and BIRD DROP DEAD as the horrible visage speeds towards town.'')
* ShallowParody: Many of the "screenplays" are little more than plot summaries with a snarky, nitpicky, and condescending tone. The script for ''Film/TheMummy1999'' was especially derided for being very lazy and rushed, with Evey being reduced to a single scene where she's called "Random Female Lead" turning risible given Creator/RachelWeisz became a star afterwards (to the point that in 2020 that script was [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion superseded by one that actually recapped the whole movie]]).
* SpiritualSuccessor: To the movie parodies in ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'', and also ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' and all other forms of {{MST}}ing.
* {{Squick}}:
** The script for ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'' ends every scene with Creator/BenStiller ejaculating.
** In ''Film/TheMummy2017'', Annabelle Wallis reminds the audience that Creator/TomCruise's stardom is older than she is. This was immediately after mentioning that they'd had sex.
* {{Tearjerker}}: The script for ''Film/LoveActually'' doesn't miss the fact that Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson and Laura Linney all got completely dicked in this film that celebrates the power of love.
* TheWoobie: ''Film/TheFlash2023'' [[spoiler: highlights how unfair it is that Michael Keaton's Batman and the newly-introduced Supergirl are doomed to die senseless deaths. The Flash's mother is also given plenty of sympathy for having no purpose but to die so the timeline can be saved, but since she's completely unaware of any of this it means she won't even get the dignity of performing a heroic sacrifice.]]
