| Superhero Movie | comment |
Not by Seltzer and Friedberg, it's actually from Craig Mazin and David Zucker, the creative team behind Scary Movie 3 and 4. While Superhero Movie (2008) still relies on some of their gags, it can still be considered as good a quality movie as the Scary Movie series.Being a parody of the Spider-Man Trilogy films, it uses the basic premise. Kid isn't popular, goes on field trip to science-y place, gets bitten by a bug, gets superpowers. Meanwhile, the kid's crush's boyfriend's uncle's company is working on an untested device that can cure anything and tries it on himself to heal his terminal illness, which is due to kill him in one hour. It explodes, and gives him some nifty powers that allow him to suck the life out of people, starting with the board of directors who were observing his demonstration. | |

Alone Among the Couples | |
| Superhero Movie / int_12e2a068 | comment |
Alone Among the Couples: Heavily parodied. After forcing himself to reject Jill, a saddened Rick walks down a street, the people he passes by being exclusively couples, performing more and more exaggerated romantic activities. It eventually leads to him coming across two inflatable tube puppets appearing to have sex with each other, to the disgust of Rick. | |

Accidental Pervert | |
| Superhero Movie / int_2f52c0af | comment |
Accidental Pervert: When Rick first gets his powers as the Dragonfly, several hijinxs ensue - largely due to his new power giving him extreme grip on anything he touches. At one point, this humorously results in his hands landing right on the breasts of the school principal (played by Amanda Carlin). He tries to pull his hands off in a panic, resulting in her breasts stretching comically until he finally launches himself off. The only other shot of her shows her getting up in surprise, with the part of her shirt where Rick's hands were now ripped away. | |

Uncool Undies: In a deleted scene, a wardrobe malfunction makes Rick's tighty-whities partially visible to a crowd of people, much to his embarrassment. This embarrassment is likely exacerbated by the fact that so many people saw him in tighty-whities, a stereotypically nerdy type of underwear, as opposed to a "cooler" type such as boxers or boxer briefs. | |

Spider-Man Send-Up | |
| Superhero Movie / int_d1db8053 | comment |
Spider-Man Send-Up: Rick Riker is about as deliberate a Spider-Man parody as you could make, specifically Tobey Maguire's interpretation of Spider-Man. | |

Vampiric Draining | |
| Superhero Movie / int_d53d0080 | comment |
Vampiric Draining: The CEO Lou Landers is dying from an unknown terminal disease that will kill him in an hour. To avoid that fate he becomes a guinea pig for a machine that he built, which is supposed to "restore the body to perfect health". The experiment seeminlgy fails only to reveal that Landers gained the power to drain what appears to be the life force of others, aging them to death while healing him. However it's only temporary and his body breaks down after some time, forcing him to drain the life of people at regular intervals. This leads him to concoct an Evil Plan where he will steal the life force of thousands of people at once to cure him for good and even make him immortal. | |

Composite Character | |
| Superhero Movie / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Lance fills the roles of both Flash Thompson and Harry Osborn. Jill clearly fills the role of Mary Jane, though her appearance is more akin to that of Gwen Stacy. Rick is mostly modeled after Spider-Man, but his backstory is that of Batman. | |

| Superhero Movie / int_eea06f9a | comment |
Artistic License – Cars: The "1983 Nissan" that Rick finds online is actually (what's left of) a 1991 Peugeot 309. Likewise, the banner ad for a used Hyundai actually depicts a Volkswagen Golf. | |

Comedic Underwear Exposure | |
| Superhero Movie / int_f08f8f89 | comment |
Comedic Underwear Exposure: In a deleted scene, Rick shows up dressed as Dragonfly ready to fight Hourglass. However, Rick does not realize that he did not put on the Dragonfly suit properly, and the left leg of his pants has slipped off. It is not until he notices the crowd (which includes his love interest, Jill) staring at him in puzzled amusement that he realizes that his tighty-whities are partially on display for everyone to see. | |

No Indoor Voice: The editor-in-chief of the newspaper (until he's taken away by the mental hospital attendants) yells much like J. Jonah Jameson, except he's even louder. | |

The Alleged Car: The 1983 Nissan Shitbox (yes, that's its real name). It does not make an actual appearance, but it is briefly listed on a site when Rick tries to see what kind of car he can get with only $300. Its description◊ explains it all: | |

Fanservice Extra: Pamela Anderson as Invisible Woman. She only appears in one scene, but has her cleavage prominently shown. One of the girls at the Herocon(vention) can be seen wearing a strapless corset teddy version of the Dragonfly costume. | |

Riches to Rags: Rick's family was worth billions when he was a little boy. Unfortunately his father was a terrible investor (telling his son to get rid of Google stock and putting everything into Enron while he was dying), so by present day he is middle class. | |
