Unintentional show references in movies

[mascan42]

Let's start out with an old one:

The Great Escape - the prisoners are practicing their German for when they are on the run; prisoner #1 gets tripped up by prisoner #2 speaking English to him; when he responds in English, he gives himself away.

Prisoner #2: "Don't fall for that old gag."

[MilitantRabbit]

that's where the phrase came from.

I'm sure Sir Richard Attenborogh (sp?) listens to the boys when he's in the states.

BTW iloved that scene

Nazi: Good luck? (sounds like a question)
Sir Richard: Thank you!
(look of OH SHIT! on his face and both run)

How about a close one?

Office Space - Bill Lumbergh: Milt, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?

That Office Space scene could also apply to how the XM suits approached the Oompa Loompa to tell him that his studio was going to be changing.

"We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get."

Jay Mohr, on the TV show "Scrubs"... (i know, not a movie...) someone tripped him, and he said "OK, terrific"... (i'm pretty sure that was the circumstance...)
