    The MIB scene repeats itself in MIB 2, when J is fighting off Serleena.

    There's a scene in the movie RUTHLESS PEOPLE (also made by the gang from AIRPLANE!) where a police officer in full uniform with jangling handcuffs and a bouncing night stick can be seen playing tennis in the background. Hilarious!

    I can't remember if it's 'Airplane!' or 'Airplane 2', but Ted Striker escapes from a mental hospital in a truck. As he gets out of the back of it, you can see inside it is carrying those sinister duplicate pods from 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers'.

    My mother loves that scene in MIB because she had, and loved, the same maternity dress.

    Osmosis Jones when the mayor is walking Osmosis through the brain, and passes a statue of the “our founder” sperm.

    7:16 – welll, kinda… it's a refernece to the Battleship Potemkin stair scene… which was also being made in The Untouchables

    GoldenEye, pretty much the entire background of Q's lab while Bond and Q are talking. From a guy being flung out of his chair, to an unfortunate agent going to use a pay phone and an airbag filling the booth (and later being carted out still stuck in the booth and whining for help).

    Hot Shots 2 with the randy monks chasing Brenda Bakke.

    I instantly thought of "Top Secret" too. The restaurant scene, where Nick Rivers is informed that "It is a jacket and tie affair" by the maitre `d, who calls over some underlings to measure Kilmer, then proceeds to sew a suit for him in the background, over a less than two minute conversation in the foreground.
    Love that movie!

    The pig turning into Hot Dogs when dying(English ain’t my main lang) is a reference to Minecraft where pigs turns into pork chops when dying

    How about Mama (Cathy Bates) dancing for the TV camera in the background at the end of Waterboy?

    His name is Han, not Hans.
    He's not German, lol
    "Hans's" is incorrect.

    That wasn't a random guy with the goat, he was the brother that Cera had to cuddle with later in the movie.

    Where the soldiers are dancing in the background in the window.

    I was hoping for the restaurant scene between Daniel and his mom from Karate Kid to show up. It's always funny seeing those two having a conversation, while through the glass window we can see Johnny and his gang spying on him from the dojo and planning their next move. That was a pretty obvious pick to go with
