Synopsis: Leonidas, a young Spartan warrior, takes a few soldiers with him on a mission to bring down an evil, overweight Persian ruler Xerxes. Stream this spoof epic on Amazon Prime Video.
Vampires Suck:

The Hungover Games:
Spoofed mainly off The Hangover and The Hunger Games, this movie takes us through different and varied pop culture references.

Not Another Teen Movie:
Another sleeper hit, this high-school parody film was one of the first of its kind and did really well with the viewers and a few critics as well.
Synopsis: A jock makes a bet that he can convert a girl from his highschool into a prom queen. His back-stabbing sister and a devious cheerleader try to thwart him at every turn. This movie is currently streaming on Netflix
Johnny English:
As a tribute to spy movies everywhere, Johnny English was a well made funny spoof of a rather unintelligent spy. By showing us a clumsy spy, which is far removed from the bad-ass/ debonair spies we have seen, this movie brings a whole new element to a spoof spy comedy.
Synopsis: After all of the country’s top agents are killed, the United Kingdom is forced to depend on Johnny English, an idiot-spy, as a wicked smuggler plans to steal the Crown Jewels. This movie is running on Amazon Prime Video.
Extra: Tropic Thunder:
This movie is not a spoof per-say, but it still spoofs a lot of behind the film scenes from a lot of big-budget productions, with a heavy nod towards Apocalypse Now. This Ben Stiller-directed Sleeper hit film went on to earn two Golden Globe nominations and an Oscar nomination.
Synopsis: A film crew shooting a big-budget film is running behind schedule and the director has lost control of his actors. The director decides to strand the main five cast members in a jungle, so as to get better film shots and get his actors back in line. Everything goes side-ways, when the director makes a mistake and the lead actor gets kidnapped by a local poppy-growing drug dealer. Currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
