Films — Live-Action

  • Swingers: In a scene where Mike, Trent, Rob and the others are sitting around the table arguing about movies, the camera pans around them in a 360-degree shot, just as in Reservoir Dogs. Not only that, but the following scene has them all walking in slow motion, and wearing suits and sunglasses, to spoof the opening credits of Tarantino's film (though the music here is Average White Band's "Pick Up the Pieces").
