Late Franchise Buffoonery is a phenomena where a series of films starts out seriously but gets sillier and sillier as later installments go for the cheap laughs.

  • Sheriff J.W. Pepper shows up and hilarity ensues. [1]

Superman II (1980)

Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)

  • Movie stops to let Rancor's keeper weep and be consoled for his deceased charge. [3]
  • Chewie swings on a vine on the Endor moon while making the "Tarzan" yell. [4]

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

  • Marcus Brody transforms into a buffoon, completely un-doing the character we met in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". [5]

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

  • Uhura, Chekov and Scotty are transformed into bumbling idiots madly leafing through Klingon translation books. [6]

Lethal Weapon sequels (1989 to 1998)
