"There's one part where someone is actually watching the first Blob on TV. So how this is a sequel, I guess it isn't. It's like in Halloween III, when they're watching Halloween.

It's as if the best part of the movie is seeing the first movie within the movie, and for that it's the only good part, but that doesn't count."

"How can you make a Double Dragon arcade game movie based on the Double Dragon arcade game if the arcade game is in the background!? Has everybody lost their minds!? It's like seeing Frodo in J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings movies reading the book: J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings! It makes no sense! The movie's universe should have just imploded!

Dark Helmet: Colonel Sandurz, may I speak with you, please?
Colonel Sandurz: Yes, sir!
Dark Helmet: How can there be a cassette of Spaceballs: The Movie? (Aside Glance) We're still in the middle of making it!
Colonel Sandurz: Well, that's true, sir, but there's been a new breakthrough in home video marketing.
Dark Helmet: There has?
Colonel Sandurz: Yes! Instant cassettes. They're out in stores before the movie is finished!
Dark Helmet: Nah!

Silver puts in the game, and turns on the PS2. It shows a familiar sight.
Silver: Ah, here it is!
Silver grabs a pad of paper and a pen. He begins to sketch the screen.
Silver: (Murmuring) Okay... Let's see... The main character is a black hedgehog with red shoes... And there's the logo...
Knuckles: Is that who I think it is?
Silver: Yeah! It's Shadow the Hedgehog!
Knuckles picks up the cube from the table, and stares at it in disbelief.
Silver: What are you doing?
Knuckles: This game... It's non-fiction. You're playing Shadow's life.
