*''Film/HudsonHawk'' (BruceWillis) can be aptly summed as an Americanized live action [[LupinIII Lupin]] film; featuring many of the same high-jinks and sight gags. From using skateboards to bypass museum security, to using a fishing pole to swipe Leonardo da' Vincci's artbook! Even the film's villain's: the Mayflowers, George Kaplan, [[BattleButler Alfred]], and Kit Katt come across as a comedic RoguesGallery.

*Practically anything directed by MelBrooks.
**''Film/BlazingSaddles'' is easily the most notorious example, featuring the type of antics and sight gags befitting a BugsBunny [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ciVBQixpU&feature=related cartoon]], liberal lampshade hanging, and the fourth wall is treated as non existent. Hell, the film's villain, Hedy Lamar ([[InsistentTerminology "That's Hedley!"]]), even drives of the set at the end!
-->'''Hedley: (hails taxi)''' "Drive me off of this picture."
**''[[Film/RobinhoodMenInTights Robinhood: Men in Tights]]'' includes instances where: the titular character uses a Patriot Arrow to win an archery contest, his BlackBestFriend, Achoo, calls a [[TransformationIsAFreeAction time-out to pump up his sneakers]] before he and Robin commence asskicking, and the Sheriff of Rottingham whipping out a [[AnachronismStew jack-hammer]] in an attempt to crack Maid Marion's chastity belt!
***Both films even include ToonPhysics, such as Mongo surviving an explosion (point blank) with little more than singe marks. While Men In Tights has Brumhilde land on her bottom, after leaping from the balcony above, and crack the pavement without injury!

*The entirety of ''[[Series/GetSmart Get Smart!]]'' (Don Adams, Barbara Feldon) was not only like a cartoon, it actually inspired one! InspectorGadget (also voiced by Don Adams) is, in fact, a homage to both Maxwell Smart's character and Get Smart! as a whole.
