Are parody movies still a thing? I haven’t watched one since Airplane.
Oh man, if you haven’t watched one since then, you missed the whole run and eventual fall of parody movies that propped up in the late '90’s & early '00’s. Not that they were as good as Airplane, but it was a fun ride till it sucked. Personally I enjoyed the first few movies in the Scary Movie series, Not another teen movie, and Don’t be a menace to south central while drinking your juice.
But then we get to stupid crap like Epic Movie and Disaster Movie and Superhero Movie. All entirely forgettable and just trying to cash in on the success that the Wayans brothers had with the original Scary movies
Honestly you haven’t missed much, but there are a few movies in that genre I still go back to every now and then.
It was more of a joke - I have seen those 90s-2000s parodies. They were somewhat funny at the time but I don’t think there’s an audience for them today. But I guess we’ll see?
Still a thing? Not really. But as mentioned, there was definitely a lot worth seeing after Airplane!
Great:
- Police Squad! (TV)
- Naked Gun x3
- Hot Shots! x2
- Spaceballs!
- Robin Hood: Men in Tights
- Young Frankenstein
- Top Secret!
- Scary Movie 3/4
- Airplane!
- Kentucky Fried Movie
Worth watching:
- Jane Austen’s Mafia!
- Dracula: Dead and Loving It
- Angie Tribeca (TV)
- High School High
- Not Another Teen Movie
- Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood
- Scary Movie 1
- Wrongfully Accused
- Repossessed
Garbage Tier:
- Anything ending with “Movie” that hasn’t been listed yet
- Anything with Leslie Nielsen that hasn’t been listed yet
The series went to shit when hollycreeps took over…
Hopefully these guys can get at least another banger. So much toncover since 2000s
Honestly I want them to make a whole new concept. Reboots and remakes are just over played at this point.
Scary Movie 3 was my personal favourite. Not sure the Wayan Bros have a lot left in the tank (even if White Chicks was a guilty pleasure film).
I loved 3, liked 4, and was really disappointed by 1. Skipped 2 and anything after 4.
Turns out, after 2, the Wayans brothers stepped away and David Zucker directed with Pat Proft co-writing, which gave it a lot of DNA from the glory days of Naked Gun and Hot Shots!
