The parody genre gained popularity in the 1980s with spoofs like
Hot Shots and The Naked Gun and exists today in the likes of
Scary Movie, but the commonly recognized grandfather of the form,
Airplane!, was not the first of its kind. Two years before the
Zucker brothers released their box-office hit, Neil Simon and
director Robert Moore created The Cheap Detective, an amusing
take-off on the film noir boom of the 1940s.
Film Buff? Spot the "Spoofs" in The Cheap Detective:
The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Casablanca (1942)
To Have and Have Not (1944)
Streetcar Named Desire, A (1951)
Chinatown (1974)
