The opening scene in Naked Gun 33 1/3, is a hilarious parody of the stairway shootout at Union Station scene in the movie The Untouchables. Where to stream or buy the movie: https://www.justwatch.c...

They don't make em like they used to. I died at "my lawnmower!"

You might recognize a younger, less murderous football player named OJ Simpson catching and attempting to spike a baby.

The Untouchables Union Station shootout scene was inspired by the Odessa Steps Massacre scene in Battleship Potemkin, making the 33 1/3 scene a parody of one of the oldest tropes in film-making.
