Spaced: Chaos (1999)
The final scene of a man being stalked through the park by a ghost dog spoofs the opening of this film. The dialogue used by the man is identical to the man from the famous subway scene in this film ("I can assure you this isn't in the slightest bit funny!"). The camera angles, settings and lighting are nearly identical to the scene in the film where the two hikers are attacked by the werewolf. It's confirmed as a parody on both the DVD's commentary track and the DVD's trivia subtitle track.
