    Clever Action Parody
    This movie alienates a lot of people. It's an action movie that is making fun of action movies. It's a kid's movie with violence and sexuality. It has a very creative and clever plot, but corny dialogue.

    Last Action Hero is one of my personal favorites, but it's very niche.
