Negated Moment of Awesome: Tom Hardy expresses constant frustration in the Mad Max: Fury Road abridged script with how many of his feats become this, due to him becoming overpowered by War Boys, or outshone by Charlize Theron. One of them actually becomes negated by occurring offscreen. | |

No Fourth Wall: The script is aware that the work is fiction, with actors dissing the movie they're in, directors arguing with the actors, and even the audience is sometimes given lines. | |

Take That, Audience! | |
| The Editing Room (Website) / int_3ea462d7 | comment |
Take That, Audience!: Combined with Self-Deprecation in the Kick-Ass script. One character makes fun of Ron Paul supporters, then later makes a joke the only thing stupider than abandoning the Deconstructive Parody premise of the story was making fun of Ron Paul supporters on a website that allows comments. Liam Hemsworth's character in The Hunger Games makes the then-popular internet complaint about how the plot was a rip-off of Battle Royale only to have another character make fun of him for only complaining about it when the film was released instead of when the books came out four years earlier. The Watchmen script was one giant takedown of Alan Moore's legions of fanboys nitpicking everything about the script, as well as Alan Moore's opinions of film. The Beauty and the Beast script spends most of the plot subtly putting down the remake before delivering a big slap in the face to the people who paid to see what they consider a cut-and-paste job. | |

Non-Singing Voiceinvoked: Lampshaded in Aladdin, which changes the merchant's credit from "Singer" to "Second Bit Part For Robin Williams" when he starts speaking. However, every other time a Disney character switches voice actors for a song — including Aladdin and Jasmine — the author still credits the speaking voice for it. | |

| The Editing Room (Website) / int_5a59b3a1 | comment |
Hulk Speak: Frequently used to play up a character's idiocy, especially if the character wasn't intended to be stupid in the film, such as Alexander Ludwig in The Hunger Games ("Grr, can't tree climb! Need kill Jennifer!") and Henry Cavill in Immortals ("Henry go fight Mickey. Mickey bad. Henry good."). The phrase "(Character name) smash!" is used when a character brutishly beats on someone. For example, in The Bourne Ultimatum, Matt Damon says, "Since I can't outsmart you, I'll revert to being a brainless brute that beats the shit out of you like a fucking caveman. MATT DAMON SMASH!" | |

Punny Name: Zootopia adds to the actors' names the animals they are voicing (Bunnifer Goodwin/Bunny Hunt, Idris Elbuffalo, Jason Batefox, Jenny Unguslatenote "Ungulate", as she voices a sheep, Maurice LaShrew, JK Lions). Starting with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, MCU Abridged Scripts rechristen some of the cast members based on their characters, such as Zoe Saladana, Dave Bluetista, Mecharen Gillan, Pom Klemontieff, Michael Rooster, Bradley Raccooper, and Vin Triesel. Other MCU examples include Purpaul Bettany, Peter Dinklarge, and Josh Swollen. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has a whole bunch of Benedict Cumberbatch pun names including Rancheros Cumberbatch, Derelict Cumberbatch, Being-A-Dick Slumberbad, and Benedead Corpserbatch. Alita: Battle Angel has Rosa Eyelazar, Jackie Earle Hulky and Ed Skrein-Borg. Us renames the actors when they play their characters' doppelgängers, such as Repeata Nyong'o and Twinston Duplicate. Everything Everywhere All at Once refers to alternate universe counterparts of Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu as "Ke Huy Quantum" and "Stephanievil Hsu". | |

A much more blatant form in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen.

The photo for the Skyfall script shows Daniel Craig and the Aston Martin DB5 with the caption, "Everyone's favourite James Bond star is back! Oh, and Daniel Craig too. MISDIRECT!" The photo for The Da Vinci Code script, featuring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou posing in front of a painting, uses a similar gag caption. "A famous lifeless caricature... standing next to a painting!

Who's on First?: The site (usually) calls characters by the actor's name. Then Doctor Strange (2016) has two Benedicts, one of whom plays a character named after his surname. A whole dialogue exploiting this trope ensues. Mission: Impossible – Fallout has confusion ensue between Rebecca Ferguson and Tom Cruise over two different definitions of "MI6" — she means the Secret Intelligence Service, but he mistakes it for an unofficial alternate title for Fallout, the sixth Mission: Impossible movie. After Rebecca angrily clarifies herself, Tom responds by declaring that he finally gets the aforementioned Doctor Strange joke. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Editing Room (Website) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Dune script references an Old Spice commercial when talking about spice. Dark Shadows references the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup slogan at the end. From Batman (1989): Sex and the City 2 is set in Abu Dhabi, so the script alludes to Garfield and Friends: Garfield is also referenced when Captain Marvel (2019) reveals the orange cat Goose is a dangerous alien by having him eat lots of things, the last one being "a WHOLE PAN OF LASAGNA". In the script for Frankenstein (1910), Dr. Frankenstein discovers that skulls are "the essence of creation". He then declares that "I've discovered how to create life, by the power of a grey skull!" In Alita: Battle Angel, Mahershala Ali is "MARSHAMARSHAMARSHA ALI". In The Mummy Returns, Shaun Parkes has to explain what a dirigible is to Brendan Fraser. | |

Orwellian Retcon | |
| The Editing Room (Website) / int_cf57aca1 | comment |
Orwellian Retcon: The scripts for both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger included jokes about how The Avengers was an inevitable train wreck. After The Avengers came out to overwhelmingly positive notices (and was liked by Rod himself), the earlier scripts were adjusted to change the "inevitability" of it being terrible to the, at the time, "likelihood". (when someone noted Inception was changed to acknowledge one actor's post-transition name, Rod comments "I retconned my snarky predictions that Avengers was going to suck so that I didn't look like such a dumbass, this seemed like the least I could do.") Similarly, the ratings for the Star Wars prequels were higher upon release (particularly Revenge of the Sith, which went from 4.5 to 3), but were changed later.note Making this yet another example of how the prequels' bad fame has settled mostly in hindsight | |

Fanon Discontinuity: invoked If you create a movie where a child ends up badly, expect the editors to rewrite that ending with extreme prejudice. The end of Aliens, where "RIPLEY and NEWT and HICKS and BISHOP go into CRYO-SLEEP and return SAFELY TO EARTH and live HAPPILY EVER AFTER and I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE FUCKING SAYS THAT'S WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS, THE END." Similarly, the actual film Pet Sematary (2019) ends with the strong implication that a little boy is about to be killed by his zombified family. In the Editing Room version, the character notes that the event isn't actually shown, then takes advantage of this to give the zombies a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown while yelling that "THIS MOVIE IS DEPRESSING ENOUGH ALREADY YOU FUCKS". The boy then escapes and "is adopted by a RICH AND LOVING FAMILY and grows up to CURE CANCER, win the SUPER BOWL and become PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. END." | |

Face Palm: In The Mummy Returns, John Hannah references this trope twice to react to the film's implausible story. First: Later, when the film's director shows up to make excuses: The script for Tenet provides another example. | |

Running Gag | |
| The Editing Room (Website) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In the Winter's Bone script, every setting is described as bleak, up to the point that one scene is described as "INT. BLEAK SHERIFF STATION, BLEAKITY BLEAK BLEAK" Samuel L. Jackson is listed as SAMUEL L MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON in every script he appears in. Except in the script for Jurassic Park, where he's called "chainsmoking", because he didn't become MOTHERFUCKING until, at least, Pulp Fiction. The Hateful Eight changes "Motherfucking" for a variety of adjectives, culminating in SAMUEL L. OKAY-I'VE-RUN-OUT JACKSON. In Big Game where Samuel is uncharacteristically playing a frail, weak President, he's called things like SAMUEL L. AMEDUCK JACKSON and SAMUEL L. ILYLIVERED JACKSON until he finally regains his power near the end... but due to the film's PG-rating becomes SAMUEL L. MOTHER-KABLAMMO JACKSON. In Captain Marvel (2019), only the last time earns a "MOTHERFUCKING", with most being SAMUEL L. DOUBLE-PUPIL JACKSON and such given it's the first time Nick Fury is seen before needing an eyepatch (and another Running Gag is Fury doing dangerous stuff that could take an eye out, given the Foregone Conclusion), along with "SAMUEL L. KITTY-LOVIN' JACKSON" for his interactions with the cat Goose. In the Harry Potter scripts, the male audience impatiently waiting for Emma Watson to turn eighteen. The script for The Raid Redemption has both the scene headings, which use umpteen different ways of describing "a filthy hallway", and Andi and Mad Dog trying to figure out which of them is Andi and which is Mad Dog. In Skyfall Judi Dench keeps insisting she can only summon a swarm of helicopters if it's halfway through the movie, which is why she can't solve problems near the beginning or end with a swarm of helicopters. Any comic book movie abridged script will usually include the line "how unlike (different comic book movie)". In the script for The Dark Knight Rises, Joseph Gordon-Levitt continuously lampshades how nobody is allowed to mention The Joker. The script of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy does a good job of reminding us that a lot of the movie consists of nothing but staring. January Jones is used as the basis for comparison when an actor is particularly bland. The Avengers (1998) has all the dialogue with no punctuation and ending in tea Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has the location headers written as "Doctor Strange in the X of Y". Beginning with Baby Driver, Kevin Spacey is ALWAYS replaced with Christopher Plummer, even in new scripts for older movies (such as Outbreak) or passing references (such as Violent Night referring to "The Chris Plummer classic The Ref"). | |

The Abridged Series: The scripts are essentially an abridged series for movies. | |

Artistic License – Physics: In-work. Fast Five plays so fast and loose with the laws of physics that eventually, the Laws of Physics walk off the set. In the sixth movie, it hangs itself! | |

Brick Joke: In the script for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the opening scene has Mark Strong getting shot in Budapest and saying, "At least I'll die with classic British stoicism, though, not while running around frantically like some Yankee 'Mission Impossible' asshole". A week later, the script for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol had Josh Holloway getting shot in Budapest and saying, "At least I got one cool action sequence in, though, and didn't just get plugged while standing around like some limey 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' chump". In the script for Godzilla (2014), a Lieutenant on a military train going through a forested area spots another train and says, "Look at those Mutant Corps idiots, transporting their meticulously non-metal robots inside a metal train on top of metal tracks. Good luck with THAT, assholes! KAIJU CORPS FOREVER!". One week later, the script for X-Men: Days of Future Past had another Lieutenant on another military train going through a forested area spot a train and say, "Look at those Kaiju Corps idiots, transporting their nuclear weapon directly towards radiation-consuming beasts on their non-maneuverable train through dense, monster-concealing forest. Good luck with THAT, assholes! MUTANT CORPS FOREVER!" Nicolas Cage cameos in the script for Jonah Hex, despite not being in the movie, in order to pay his taxes. This comes up again when he appears in the script for X-Men: First Class. In the script for Maximum Overdrive, the characters are wondering why none of the cars went evil when Matthew McConaughey appears out of nowhere (driving a Lincoln, of course) to say he took the evil-car energy for himself, and then vanishes with no further explanation. Two days later the script for The Dark Tower has Matthew announce he needs to go "recharge his energies", which requires that he "go back"; he vanishes into another (unspecified) dimension, and returns. In each case his dialogue quotes heavily from his Lincoln commercials. In the script for Predator, Shane Black (playing a minor character) makes a note regarding women sharing scenes with Predators. In the script for The Predator, Shane Black - now the director - mentions the note, but has forgotten what it was about. In the script for Knives Out, Daniel Craig says to Ana de Armas, "I'm glad you're safe. This is... no time to die", after which they exchange winks. Over TWO YEARS later, in the script for No Time to Die, Ana returns the favour by advising they "keep our guns ready and our... knives out", followed by another round of winks. | |
