Translation Matchmaking
 Jane Austen's Mafia! / int_170705e4
comment
Translation Matchmaking: A weird example. In Spain, this film was named Mafia, estafa como puedas ("Mafia, Con [someone] The Way You Can"), following Airplane! being renamed Aterriza como puedas ("Land as you can"), apparently because Lloyd Bridges, who was on Airplane!, also appears in this film. The weird part comes when one considers that this snowclone title is mostly used for Leslie Nielsen films (The Naked Gun became Agárralo como puedas ("Catch [him] the way you can"), Spy Hard was Espia como puedas ("Spy as you can"), etc.).

Farts on Fire: Sophia (Vincenzo's mom) kills Pepper by lighting her fart. The result was catastrophic. This montage also has an Inuit impaling a guy in a Barney costume then dancing to the Goldman Girls' rendition of "We Are Family".

In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It
 Jane Austen's Mafia! / int_73d4b01a
comment
In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It: Parodied; the film has obviously nothing at all to do with regency-era novelist Jane Austen. This was a reference to how, at the time the film was made, there were a lot of film and TV adaptations of Austen's and the Bronte sisters' works that were using the formula (e.g., Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice).

Gasshole: Sophia (Vincenzo's mom) has a habit of loudly farting in public. This has been a habit of hers even back when she was a young woman. It's even how Vincenzo recognized her after being separated from her for many years and it's how she assassinates Pepper towards the end of the film.

Enfant Terrible: Parodied with Chucky, a psychotic little boy who is a parody of Chucky from Child's Play; he murders his grandfather with bug spray so that he can steal his wallet and his father can become the new godfather, he is later seen torturing animals and stabbing dolls, and he gets his comeuppance when he receives a package of tiny dinosaurs which eat him alive.

Accidental Dance Craze: When Vincenzo Cortino gets shot by a pair of assassins he moves around trying to get people to help me so he can have his gunshot wounds treated, but the crowd thinks he's dancing so they join in, then the assassins shot him some more causing him to appear to be doing different dance styles including the Charleston, Swing, and the Macarena.

External Combustion: Parodied when Vincent is in the car when this happens. He survives, but loses most of his skin in the accident (leading to a major Squick moment when he eats a tangerine, leading to a multiple Vomit Indiscretion Shot). By the time he meets up with his wife again, he only has a small bandage on his cheek. When he is asked what happened, he replies, ''car exploded''.
