theres a casino royale reference...
added trailer link added more parody references —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Missionbaxter ( talk • contribs) on November 24, 2006 (21:55 UTC).
"The initial box office performance was however fairly positive, hence once again in contrast to the reviews, but again a reminder at the stupid mindset of a lot of moviegoers."
Is that really nessecary? Adding that "Stupid" part seems to be purely opinion by someone who didn't like the movie, and I think it would be better if the line was taken out. It's got nothing to do with an Encycolpedic entry, unless there's some proof that the IQ of people who went to see the movie is lower than others who didn't.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.87.129 ( talk) 15:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I am pretty sure it is not Ashton Kutcher but is actually David Lehre, the same person who made the myspace movie.. who is playing the guy that parodies punkd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.199.91 ( talk) 20:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Anyone have the actual translations for the Silas-knockoffs lines?
Is it okay if Superman returns is mentioned in the intro paragraphe? I'm surprised that it's not, cause not only was there parody sequence of it in the trailer, it's on the poster as well. I'm gonna put in if ya don't mind.
What is the point of this section? It seems increasingly irrelevant and liable to turn into a laundry list of genre parody movies. I recommend this list be tightened up to make its entries more relevant to those responsible for and connected to this specific film. 68.249.204.118 23:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Is this film in any way releated to David Zucker's Superhero!? It seems a lot like it.
The rating on this page and on IMDB are inconsistant. The IMDB says that it was rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor, language and some comic violence, but the Wikipedia page says that it was rated R.
Is there a way to find out which one it is?

How does this film parody Lord of the Rings? Surely someone must know, since someone listed it. 4.158.192.25 00:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Plus the beginning of the movie parodies the beginning of Lord of the Rings The camp scene DOES NOT parody the LOTR. It copies VERBATIM the scenes on Aslan's camp in The Chronicles of Narnia. And I don't think "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is basically a Christian version of the Lord of the Rings" is enough of a reason to mention LOTR where it does not belong. Plus, "The Lion..." was released on 1950 and LOTR was first released on 1955, so your statement is false. I'm changing the reference. -- SatoshiMiwa 10:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't ever remember the tv show Heroes being parodied? where abouts in the movie was this?
I would like December Boys added to the list of references of Movies which change the plot because I have seen it and the whole theme of Epic Movie is that four random people are put together only to find out they are family. This is the exact same in December Boys. Please put this up because I doubt anyone has seen December Boys as I am one of only 400 peple to have seen it before. It has not been released and has been review only a few days ago. I have never discussed or talked before on this so please keep this up. Thankyou

That section needs some work. All it says is "extremely negative" Shouldn't we expound on that? Maniac 00:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Is this format better than the previous one. If it isn't you can revert. RED skunk TALK
I reverted the following edit: [1]. It seemed too vague and unsourced. If someone thinks it should be included, perhaps it could be replaced with appropriate details.-- GregRM 16:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
HI once again i see that December Boys has been edited. I have no problem with this just that No One Has Seen It. It hasn't been and only 400 people have actually seen it. I think it should be up their because the whole storyline is the same. 1.There are four people without parents. 2. they are all joined together in the same place. 3. they are all family. 4 they find out they're all family and the plot totally changes. and 5. If you can't source it find out and ask. Even if the storyline isn'y based around it it should be in there somewhere i don't know under simalarities in the movie.

I dont know how to use this —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mikedagr8 ( talk • contribs) 10:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
can we please put this somewhere because it is plot related even if no one can prove it- most likely because they haven't seen it. i'd like it to be somewhere, anywhere is fine just add it in where ever anyone feels it needs to be.

The plot summary is way too long and detailed. A good plot summary summarises the story without giving a scene-by-scene description. Gladiator is an excellent example of a suitable movie summary for Wikipedia. Anchoress 01:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps this is original research but did the "she's banned gay marriage" and climate change section not suggest an analogy with George Bush's administration?? Just a thought. GiollaUidir 14:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
When Edward says "Wow! Stifler's mom!" I think that is also a reference to Harold and Kumar because John Cho (Harold) also played in American Pie as one of the main characters talking about how Stifler's mom is a MILF. It just seems odd to me that hes the one to say it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dyingdreams ( talk • contribs) 22:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
In the rated, he seems to say, "Stifler's Mom." I think in the unrated, he says, "MILF" because the F in MILF is in a sexual context, the MPAA probably wouldn't allow it (even though "Edward" doesn't say what it stands for). ChesterG 04:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
The plot summary seems to be almost word for word the same as what's at themoviespoiler.com ( http://www.themoviespoiler.com/Spoilers/epicmovie.html). Is one copying the other? Are they both getting their data from the same source?
Since many people are curious where in the movie parodies existed, I've added the points where other movies were referenced, since then the content has been removed twice, so I bring it to the discussion page to keep the references in. - Jasonlouie 04:10, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

300 is listed as a parodied movie in Epic Movie, while Epic Movie was released months before 300. Should this be editted? Aga the Wolf 03:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

There is and alternate ending to the film, where the main charachters walk out of the wardrobe and meet Willy Wonka and he knows where they have been ashe had planned it all. He then walks into the wardrobe with the naked woman seen when the wardrobe was first opened.
Should this be added to the artilce??-- User: Naj da Man
I don't know. Maybe add another section with the heading Alternate Ending and explain it there. ☺ Efansay T/ C☺ 01:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
One writer categorized the genre of film not as spoof but as "re-enactment," referencing several films much like a musical mashup. [2]

Someone's apparently vandalized the "Critical Reception" section. For now, I'll post a short comment on its reception until more people with better knowledge of its reception edit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperSmashBros.Brawl777 ( talk • contribs) 21:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
"On IMDb, out of 30,268 user ratings, the movie has a rating of 2.3 out of 10, putting it at #80 on IMDb's "Bottom 100" list."
If you cite numbers like these, be sure to mention the particular date that you wrote this. User ratings are very fluid and change from time to time. As of today, August 21, 2008, there are 35,083 user ratings, the total rating is 2.2, and it's at #77 on the Bottom 100 list. I have changed the text to reflect these new numbers, and I'm making a point to state that this is true as of 8/21/08. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.173.165 ( talk) 14:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
This movie's plot should be an empty space as it has NONE! NONE WHATSOVER! It's just parodying trailers of these movies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.162.76 ( talk) 22:39, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
