Opening for the Matrix. Sitting in a packed theater. Phone rings, Trinity dashes for it, picks up the line and the truck smashes through the booth.

Theater was dead silent, everyone was in awe.

I called out damn, should have used *69 got a decent uproar of laughter.

(iykyk, iydk, *69 on a landline used to call back the last person that called you. It was all over commercials.)

Similar experience: Watching The Matrix in theatre. Neo and Agent Smith face off in the subway.

Right as the newspaper blows by, someone let out an absolutely perfect Ennio Morricone whistle from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Legitimately impressive whistling skills, great volume, perfect pitch. Got a huge laugh.

Wasn't that supposed to be that exact call back?

Well there were three dudes in the showdown at the end of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. But it's definitely referencing western showdowns in general.
