''See You Next Wednesday'' is a recurring gag in most of the films directed by John Landis, usually referring to a fictional film that is rarely seen and never in its entirety. Each instance of ''See You Next Wednesday'' in Landis's films seems to be a completely different film. Landis got the title ''See You Next Wednesday'' from the 1968 movie, ''2001: A Space Odyssey''. It is the last line spoken by Frank Poole's father during Poole's videophone conversation with his parents.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpzCGZnpXkE〕 ==References in Landis's works== *In Landis's first film, ''Schlock'' (1973), ''SYNW'' is mentioned twice and is also shown as a poster. Brief casting and plot descriptions are given each time that it is mentioned, making it clear that this is in fact two different films, both titled ''See You Next Wednesday.'' *In the sketch comedy film ''The Kentucky Fried Movie'' (1977), the film is a melodrama presented in "Feel-Around," a technique where an usher stands behind each movie patron and does things to them as they occur in the film, enhancing the movie-going experience, at least until the scene where the woman puts a knife to the man's throat. * In ''The Blues Brothers'' (1980), ''SYNW'' is glimpsed on a billboard which also features a huge gorilla. It also appears on the cinema sign behind where the Nazi Pinto crashes through the road. It also says under the title on the marquee "Starring Donald Sutherland". Since Sutherland took $50,000 cash for his role in the Landis film ''Animal House'' instead of the offered 15%, he lost millions when the film became a huge hit. The film is directed by the fictional Carl La Fong, a reference to the W. C. Fields comedy ''It's a Gift'' (1934) and a character name that Landis has used as an anonymous credit on some of his other films. *In ''An American Werewolf in London'' (1981), ''SYNW'' is a porn film being shown in a seedy London porno theater. Advertised as "A Non-Stop Orgy", scenes from the movie are actually shown as the characters talk in the theater. A poster of ''SYNW'' can also be seen on the wall in the Tube station. *In ''Trading Places'' (1983), a poster for ''SYNW'' is glimpsed in Ophelia's (Jamie Lee Curtis) apartment. On this poster it is directed by William Wyler and stars Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon and David Niven (the real director and stars of the 1939 version of ''Wuthering Heights''). The poster features the quote ''L'un des 10 meilleurs Films du Monde'' ("One of the 10 Best Movies in the World"). *At the end of ''Coming Soon'' (1982) there is a series of clips from recent Universal Studios film trailers with the final being watercolor poster art for ''See You Next Wednesday'', followed by Jamie Lee Curtis giggling at the inside joke. *In the Michael Jackson music video ''Thriller'' (1983), the phrase is spoken by a deputy in the horror movie that Michael and his girlfriend are watching. It is also visible as a poster on the outside of the cinema as they leave. *In ''Twilight Zone: The Movie'' (1983), a German character says "see you next Wednesday" in German. *In ''Spies Like Us'' (1985), an army recruiting poster can be seen behind Colonel Rhumbus (Bernie Casey) right after the vertical impact simulation scene that says "The army can teach you a skill. See You Next Wednesday." *In ''Into the Night'' (1985), posters for the movie are shown. *In ''Coming to America'' (1988), a poster for ''SYNW'' is shown on a subway station. It stars Dan Aykroyd, Sybil Danning, Jamie Lee Curtis, Moe Howard, and James Brown. *In the first episode of the 1990 TV series ''Dream On'' (which Landis directed), Martin (Brian Benben) says to his maid (Marianne Muellerleile), "See you next Thursday". She corrects him saying, "Wednesday". *In the Michael Jackson music video ''Black or White'' (1991) ''SYNW'' is shown on the window which Michael Jackson throws a garbage can through, the window is that of a company named "See You Next Wednesday Storage Co." *In ''Innocent Blood'' (1992), ''SYNW'' is shown on a marquee. *In ''The Stupids'' (1996), the phrase is seen on the back of the bus to which the kids chain their bikes. *In the ''Masters of Horror'' episode "Family" (2006), the phrase is spoken by a cartoon character on TV. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「See You Next Wednesday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
