Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004): 1 line

  1. unmapped (title formula) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they acted in: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy ⇒ Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (the host's read). The Ballad of Ricky Bobby echoes the Legend of Ron Burgundy naming pattern of the 2006 era.
    “Honestly, that's a 2006 thing is titling movies like this.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 1:02:38 · Craig Horlbeck (0.40 sure it was them)

Days of Thunder (1990): 1 line

  1. unmapped (parody target) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they acted in: Days of Thunder ⇒ Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (the host's read). The film is not a direct parody but spoofs movies like Days of Thunder; Reilly was in both.
    “I don't think this movie is like a direct parody of that, but it is parodying movies like Days of Thunder.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 1:05:52 · Craig Horlbeck (0.50 sure it was them)

Happy Gilmore (1996): 1 line

  1. unmapped (shared gag) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they acted in: Happy Gilmore ⇒ Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (the host's read). Ricky Bobby signing a woman's chest echoes Happy Gilmore.
    “there's a scene when Ricky Bobby signs a woman's chest and it's exactly like Happy Gilmore when he signs the woman.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 1:15:11 · Craig Horlbeck (0.70 sure it was them)

Kazuo Ishiguro: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Clara and the Sun, which they acted in: Kazuo Ishiguro ⇒ Clara and the Sun (the host's read). Clara and the Sun is based on an Ishiguro novel.
    “That's based on the Ishigar, that Kazoorish guro normal, right?”
    The Big Picture · The 10 Most Misused Stars in Hollywood and the Gnarly Magic of ‘Send Help’ · 1:37:28 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013): 1 line

  1. unmapped (repeated joke) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they acted in: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ⇒ Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (the host's read). Anchorman 2 recycled the pretending-to-be-blind gag from Talladega's paralyzed scene.
    “And like, that's just the Talladega paralyzed scene.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 0:21:14 · Danny Heifetz (0.40 sure it was them)

Babylon (2022): 1 line

  1. lineage (series lineage) · through Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), which they acted in: Zack Snyder's Justice League ⇒ Babylon (the maker said so: the hosts' own account of the show). The Snyder Cut watch-along, born of a lost bet, started the show's watch-along concept that led to this one.
    “The Snyder, the Snyder Cut thing was a bet that we lost, that Sean was like, if that, that's how the watch along concept started.”
    The Big Picture · The ‘Babylon’ Watch-Along · 3:06:12 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

Fighting with My Family (2019): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through The Fighter (2010), which they acted in: The Fighter ⇒ Fighting with My Family (the maker said so: Merchant in this interview). Merchant borrowed The Fighter's low-budget trick of using HBO boxing cameramen so the wrestling would look like a real broadcast.
    “They used HBO boxing cameramen to shoot a lot of their fight scenes.”
    The Big Picture · Pro Wrestling Goes to the Movies, Plus Stephen Merchant on ‘Fighting With My Family’ | Interview (Ep. 130) · 0:41:16 · Stephen Merchant (0.95 sure it was them)

Jay-Z: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they acted in: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ⇒ Jay-Z (the host's read). A host theorizes the Jay-Z and Beyonce song "Apeshit" (video shot in the Louvre) only exists because this film made "ape shit" a thing.
    “I do not think that Beyonce and Jay-Z make a song called Apeshit without this movie.”
