The Hero (often a Lord Error-Prone or Comedic Hero) hears a cry for help or sees a crime taking place. Rushing in to save the Damsel in Distress, he knocks the villain to the ground and — a cameraman appears from hiding and upbraids him for ruining the shot. The damsel may start flicking through the script, or the crook complains that the director is taking Enforced Method Acting too far. Either way, the hero is left to slink away apologetically, feeling like The Ditz he is. Equally, a character may overhear actors practicing a script or a TV show being played too loud, think he's stumbled on a conspiracy, and try to save the day. Either way, he's going to end up looking foolish and annoying a hell of a lot of people along the way. In a more optimistic outcome, the director or producer applauds the intervener for their bravery and expressiveness and offers to hire them, or at least throw their unexpected appearance in the final cut of the film. Sometimes they're a Fish out of Water who doesn't understand the medium at hand and tries to raid a theatre stage. In a variant, the hero could be charging in to stop a crime, only to be supremely embarrassed when they learn the hard way it was actually a police sting and they just fouled it up. The key here is that it's a Show Within a Show; the titular "shot" and its disruption happened within the story's continuity. If the characters ruin the shot of the show you are watching, that means there is No Fourth Wall. Subtrope of And You Thought It Was Real. Compare Abuse Mistake, Proscenium Reveal. Contrast with All Part of the Show and Some Nutty Publicity Stunt. Often implies Artistic License – Film Production. |

The Acapulco episode of El Chapulín Colorado starts with a crew filming a movie about the title character, specifically a scene where a woman gets her purse stolen at the beach. Then a guy who thinks is The Six Million Dollar Man ruins it by catching the "thief". This prompts the lead actor to quit in rage, leading the film's director to summon the real Chapulin to act As Himself. | |

In Batman (1966), the Caped Crusader interrupts the Penguin filming a bank robbery scene for his movie. It's all part of the Penguin's plan, forcing Batman to star in the Penguin's movie to avoid a lawsuit. Subverted as Batman reveals to Robin that he did see the cameras but decided to play along in order to find out what the Penquin's scheme was. | |

Agaton Sax: In Agaton Sax And the Scotland Yard Mystery the titular Agaton Sax is on board an old-fashioned ship, which apart from Agaton Sax and the captain is crewed by disguised criminals. But out of nowhere, a pirate ship appears and fires (a blank from) the cannon, and its crew boards the first ship. Very soon, it turns out that the "pirate ship" is actually part of a movie, and the "crew" is a bunch of actors who mistook Agaton Sax's ship for another ship that they were supposed to fight as part of the movie. | |

An episode of Castle has Castle mistakenly come to the conclusion that one of his mother's acting partners from when they were young, with whom she had recently reconnected, was the murderer of the week. Rushing back, he discovers him holding a knife to his mother's neck; Beckett pulls out a gun and tells him to drop the weapon... it was a prop knife. They were rehearsing a scene, by way of reminiscing about old times. | |

In one of The Baby-Sitters Club mysteries, the jewel thieves turn out to be actors reading a script... which the amateur detectives don't realize until they hear the "thieves" repeating almost verbatim the same argument they had had before, then joking about it when one of them messes up his line. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge", Marge suspects that a houseguest (Becky) is trying to usurp her as the mom in the family. Marge later comes home to find Homer tied up in what looks like an S & M tableau, Lisa's arms and legs stuck to the wall, Maggie stuck in a cage, and Becky holding a knife in her hands. When she is about to "kill" Homer, Marge snatches the knife from her and strangles her. It turns out that Bart is filming a scene in his movie. The twist is that Becky really did want to kill Marge and steal her family, for reasons that are never explained, but decided not to. In another episode, Krusty's act involves him jumping into a tub of water, with hundreds of worms floating in the water. Bart gets the idea that the worms were a prank that Krusty didn't know about, and that Krusty would be really disgusted and his act disrupted if he dived into the worms. So Bart tries to interrupt Krusty and keep him from making his dive. Averted in "Pygmoelion". After learning that he is to be killed off from the soap opera he is appearing in, Moe takes his revenge by having Homer walk onto the set live on air and deliver a year's worth of spoilers. When Homer first enters the shot, one of the crew members objects to his presence, but the director decides to just roll with it and see where it goes. |

Inverted in The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #14, when the Green Goblin gets a movie studio to hire Spidey in hopes that he would have an opportunity to kill Peter and gain power in the criminal underworld. Spider-Man agrees. They start filming a "fight scene" and he begins to slowly come to the realization that Green Goblin isn't a stuntman but is rather an Ax-Crazy villain trying to kill him. | |

Mr. Bean wanders into a film shoot in Mr. Bean's Holiday, "saving" the leading lady from an army of Nazis. The director puts him in as an extra, but Bean ruins the shot again by carrying an anachronistic camcorder. (By the way, the shoot was not for a war epic, but a yogurt commercial.) | |

A petty criminal from Baltimore surrendered himself to the cast of Homicide: Life on the Street (on a location shoot and carrying prop guns), believing them to be actual cops called as backup by officers chasing him. Richard Belzer said that he examined the crook's bag and found nothing but q-tips and Kodak film. This was used as the basis of a scene in the "Documentary" episode, with the twist that it was the characters chasing a criminal, who surrenders to the actual Homicide crew. | |

In Planetes, Hachimaki burst into a compartment on a spaceship and punched out a guy who was attacking a woman, only to discover they were both actors making a horror movie. The director conscripted Hachimaki to replace the now-unconscious actor. The exact same thing promptly happened again when Tanabe found them. Notably, they were making an amateur flick and filming illegally, since they couldn't afford proper licenses. Hachimaki's mistake was understandable, considering that the camera was hidden. | |

Discworld In Wyrd Sisters, Granny Weatherwax's initial inability to understand the concept of theatre leads to this trope. "He did it! We all seen him! He'd done it with a dagger!" The witches all do this later on. There was a mix-up where the real witches went to confront the troupe and were mistaken for the actors, while the actors had been mistaken for the real witches and arrested. So Granny, Nanny, and Magrat spend the time they're on stage picking apart the fake flame, questioning why nobody cleaned the cauldron out and generally making everyone laugh when they shouldn't be. That wasn't the only thing that made the performance an utter disaster, but it didn't help. |

Subverted in Inuyasha: The titular half-demon time traveler followed his love interest, Kagome, to her high school festival in the modern age trying to find demons that had accidentally slipped through. When he overhears an emotional exchange between Kagome and a boy in her class, he interrupts and challenges the boy to a duel out of jealousy, completely oblivious to the fact that they were acting out a (terrible) play on stage in front of a packed auditorium. Kagome immediately panics, but when she realizes the audience doesn't see anything unusual about the dog-eared half-human hybrid jumping on stage with a huge sword, she convinces the male lead to play along, but instead of running away, he agrees to the duel. Then the watermelon demon shows up... | |

In a Code Red episode, the young firefighters, having come to an old movie studio for a fire code inspection, see an explosion in the lot and charge in to help. When they arrive to see a burning man flailing about, they don't do anything as the Title Sequence starts. Afterward, the reason for that inaction is revealed in a reverse shot: the firefighters saw the camera crew and realized to their chagrin that they unnecessarily interrupted a scene because they didn't ask if a crew was filming there. | |

Happens to Columbo on several occasions. In "Fade in to Murder", Columbo ruins the take of the Villain of the Week, an actor who's the lead in his own Detective Drama. The backstage crew try to quietly shoo Columbo away, but he keeps walking back and forth into camera view until the actor notices Columbo and they have to cut. In "Butterfly in Shades of Grey", Columbo visits the set of a soap opera, which has a scene involving homeless bums. Thanks to his shabby overcoat he's assumed to be one of them and is dragged onto the set. Columbo can even manage to do this with an audio recording, as a crinkly paper bag he's carrying ruins the take of a film score being recorded in "Murder with Too Many Notes". |

Happened in Jackie Chan Adventures, where Jackie mistook an actor in costume for a new demonic monster. The stuntman thought it was still part of the script though and started to use wire-fu, with actual wires, before getting tangled in them and the director yelled "CUT!" | |

This is how Kirito meets Leafa in Sword Art Online Abridged when he literally crash-lands on a scene of three Salamander players menacing a lone Sylph. They're actually a bunch of roleplayers acting out an I Have You Now, My Pretty scenario, and Leafa, though a Kendo veteran in real life, eagerly begs the Mysterious Stranger to "rescue" her so she can be a proper Damsel in Distress. | |

The Nanny: In the season 5 episode "The Bobbi Fleckman Story", the final scene of the episode features Brian Setzer and his band shooting a music video for "The House Is Rockin'" in the Sheffield home; partway through, Niles wanders in behind Brian (and in front of the rest of the band) and starts mugging for the camera, until the director puts a stop to it, yelling "Cut! Get that damn butler out of the shot!" | |

Used in Lethal Weapon 3 when Riggs interrupts what he thinks is a hostage situation, with Murtagh's daughter Rianne as the hostage, only to find out it was part of the film she was in (the reason he and Murtagh were there in the first place.) When he takes action — tackling the guy to the ground and getting his (rubber) gun away from him — it very nearly gets her fired, even when Riggs admits that it was his fault. | |

Casper's Scare School: in the episode "You Oughta Be in Pictures", Mantha accidentally wanders onto the set for a zombie movie, and thinks the actors are real zombies. Seeing how they are 'hunted down' by the humans, she inspires them to fight back. She is naturally very embarrassed when Ra and Casper point out the truth, but in the end it all works out for the best since Mantha's actions inspired the director to make a new zombie movie with her in the lead role. | |

Murdoch Mysteries Inevitably, in the episode "The Filmed Adventures of Inspector William Murdoch", there's a scene in which Murdoch tries to stop a robbery, only to notice the cameras afterwards. In the episode "Murdoch and the Tramp", Detective Watts and Constable Crabtree, investigating a vaudeville troupe, arrest a man they see violently assaulting his son, only for the son to angrily tell them that they've ruined the show and he's perfectly fine. So they release Joe Keaton, which mollifies Buster. |

Subverted in the NCIS episode "Bloodbath". Team Gibbs arrive at a company in the business of cleaning up crime scenes and sees people slumped in the foyer with bullet holes in them. They burst in with guns drawn, only to have their picture taken as the owner was staging the shot for an advertisement. He's annoyed at first until he looks at the photo and realises that the addition of gun-toting feds actually improves the shot. | |

The Chalkzone episode "Draw and Let Draw" has Rudy editing other kids' chalk drawings so that they can enter Chalkzone safely, one of which is a moose standing atop a tall building that Rudy draws a rubber ball around his body so that the moose won't get hurt when he falls. When Rudy enters Chalkzone to see his progress, it turns out the drawing was actually a movie set in which the moose is supposed to fly off the building and the director is not too happy about Rudy ruining the shot. | |

In an episode of Kim Possible, Señor Senior, Jr. assembles a gang of thugs to rob the Tower of London. Unfortunately for Junior, who was never the brightest bulb in the box, he attacks a set for a movie about the Tower of London, which is being filmed in Australia. When Kim and Ron thwart his attack, and wonder how he did not even realize he was on the wrong continent, the director decided to make a movie about Kim and Ron instead. Do not expect this outcome unless you are already an international teen crimefighter. | |

Alice, Girl from the Future series: Subverted in A Hundred Years Ahead where an ambitious though incompetent young man sees two guys carrying an unconscious child, thinks that there is a detective movie being filmed, and decides to invoke the trope and heroically stop the kidnappers in order to impress the director and get into movies himself. But the kidnapping turns out to be pretty real, and the young man isn't ready to be so heroic in real life. In one book, Alice meets a few strangely dressed and talking old men, and believes them to be time travelers. They are actually robotic actors. |

Case Closed: In one episode, Ayumi is apparently accidentally kidnapped by the men behind the rash of kidnappings in the area and travels all over the city in their trunk with a dismembered child's corpse, and hears them discussing the pointlessness of returning a victim once they've got the ransom. With Conan and the rest of the Shonen Tantei in radio contact and in hot pursuit on a solar skateboard. Turns out the men are actors, the "corpse" is a doll, and their "suspicious discussion" was their rehearsal for the play they were about to participate in. One of the two actors has been knocked out by Conan's Power Kick Shoes, and the second actor dismantles the doll to prove it is not a real corpse, forcing the three boys to replace the other actor by putting them in a Totem Pole Trench and Ayumi has to play the corpse. Makoto mistakes an actor for a criminal and knocks him out, so he has to replace him. |

Tintin does this in Cigars of the Pharaoh. Not as foolish as general examples, since it happened in the middle of the desert and it was easy for Tintin to misunderstand the situation. Oddly, the boss of the film company, Roberto Rastopopoulos, turns out to be the Big Bad, though at the time Tintin doesn't know it and his very polite and affable attitude leads Tintin to form a good opinion of him. | |

In a bit of an inversion, in Ultimate Spider-Man series, Doc Ock attacks the Spider-Man movie set, and footage of the real Spidey fighting the real Doc Ock is put into the finished movie. Naturally, this happens to Spidey at least once in the cartoons. It parallels a deception by Doctor Doom, leading to an effective Aesop about things not always being as they immediately appear. And a third time in another comic, where sure enough, Spidey gets to 'help'. Pity Shocker found out about the movie. Another early issue of The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) had Spidey ruining a movie shoot under the belief that aliens were invading. One of the stuntmen would eventually turn to a life of crime since it ruined his career. This trope follows web-head around a lot for some reason. Inverted in The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #14, when the Green Goblin gets a movie studio to hire Spidey in hopes that he would have an opportunity to kill Peter and gain power in the criminal underworld. Spider-Man agrees. They start filming a "fight scene" and he begins to slowly come to the realization that Green Goblin isn't a stuntman but is rather an Ax-Crazy villain trying to kill him. |

Stranger Things: Suzie's father comes across two of her siblings filming a death scene and thinks his daughter's throat has been slit. His son, behind the camera, thanks him for making the shot with his believable panic. | |

Notably averted during the filming of Midnight Cowboy in the infamous "I'm walking here!" scene. Turns out that the taxi driver wasn't part of the movie and just blasted past the roadblock and Dustin Hoffman, though clearly pissed off, rolled with it and kept the film going. It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the movie. | |

In the Blackadder the Third episode "Sense and Senility," Baldrick mistakes a pair of actors rehearsing as conspirators and tells it to the prince. Blackadder goes by to check in on them, fully expecting it to be a rehearsal, but ends up turning them in as anarchist conspirators anyway because they were rude to him. Earlier in the episode, George goes to the theatre with Edmund. After seeing the murder scene at the end of the play, he calls for the "perpetrator" to be arrested, not realising that it was made up. Immediately after, a genuine Bomb Throwing Anarchist storms the stage and threatens Prince George, who responds by applauding wildly and chiding his butler for "Not realising when something's made-up", thus managing to invoke both this trope and All Part of the Show within a single scene. At the very start of this episode, Edmund says that he hates going to the theater with Prince George precisely because of this trope. He mentions that the last time they went, the Prince tried to warn Julius Caesar when Brutus was creeping up on him by shouting "Look behind you, Mr. Caesar!" |

There's a scene in the Doctor Who episode "Planet of Fire" where Peri starts drowning while swimming and Turlough rescues her in Lanzarote. The first take was interrupted when a German nudist thought Nicola Bryant was actually drowning and swam out to save her. The same guy later ruined another shot on the beach as he ran through it. | |

Person of Interest has the AI almost doing this in "SNAFU". The Machine predicts that a murder would happen in the theater. Reese and Finch eventually conclude that the predicted murder was the one in the play, and that the malfunctioning Machine can't see the difference. | |

One Monty Python's Flying Circus skit features a police officer who is also an accomplished actor, who (according to one review he received) utterly ruined one play he co-starred in by spoiling a rape scene "with his unscheduled appearance on stage and loud cry of 'What's all this, then?'" | |

In Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven (and its Xbox port, Return from Darkness), Ayame's cutscene before fighting Tajima in Mission 1 has her hearing what sounds like a rape in progress. When she enters the room, however, it turns out it's just Tajima playing cards with one of the kidnapped villagers, but Ayame's intrusion angers him enough that the boss battle occurs anyway. | |

The participants mock her and unmask to reveal that they are villagers she's met... and then the director shouts at them to cut and take it back to the start of the scene, and takes Hetty aside to explain that it's a community film and asks for an apology. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. In "Bride of Chaotica" photonic aliens enter the holodeck program "The Adventures of Captain Proton!" and mistake it for reality, starting a war with megalomaniac Mad Scientist Dr Chaotica. Voyager's crew try to tell them it's not real, but as the aliens can only detect lifeforms similar to themselves they believe Voyager is some kind of illusion. In the end, the crew have to enter the game and help the aliens defeat Dr Chaotica. Hilarity Ensues. Considering many of their people had actually died in the war, you can understand their reluctance to believe it's an illusion. It is specifically stated in the episode that the aliens exist in a photonic state and can only detect other photonic lifeforms/environments (they have no way of perceiving the physical world, they come from a parallel universe). It is also stated that even with the safeties on, holodeck weaponry is lethal to the aliens. From their perspective, it is quite real, and quite a number of them die. |
