- The phrase was said several times in his first film,
Shlock (1971) .
- It was the film that was playing in the theatre that
Michael Jackson and Ola Ray were leaving at the start

- It was the supposed porn film playing in the theatre
scene in An American Werewolf in London (1981).
- In the Blues Brothers (1980), it was used as
a billboard (pictured above) behind which some police
were waiting.
- In The Twilight Zone Movie, it was said, in German,
by some soldiers in the Vic Morrow WW 2 scene, on the
same film, the "scared American G.I.'s" were
scared because they had killed Lieutenant Neidermeyer.
Animal House (1978) fans will recall that we found
out that Doug Neidermeyer was "killed in Vietnam
by his own troops" in the closing credits.
I love it when a story comes full circle.
- It was seen several times as a subway poster, including
Coming To America (1988), and Trading

Curtis's apartment in Trading Places (1983) .
Speaking of Jamie Lee, she was actually mentioned in the
Coming To America SYNW subway poster, while starring
in the film!

Poster on the wall near the beginning when Chase and Akroyd go to the Army office.
- It was also a feature-within-a-feaure in The Kentucky
Fried Movie (1977).
- RCHAPM reports... I was watching a rerun of an episode
of Scrubs last night where this phrase occurs.
It is the episode where JD, Dr. Cox, the resident and
Dr. Kelso go golfing. Cox sinks a putt to win the game, and utters the phrase
as he leaves the green.

On the musical side, The Girl From Ipanema is

- Mr. Landis used the song twice in The Blues Brothers.
It was played in the driving-through-the-mall scene as
well as the elevator music while the brothers were going
up to pay the tax bill for the school.
- It is also played, blaringly loud, in an elevator in
Amazon Women on the Moon (1987).
