I'm in a movie starring Jason Lee, myself and three other actors. It's 3-D animated, but the characters are drawn to look like we actually are. The movie is a series of shorts, each parodying or mimicking a famous movie. The first is a Pulp Fiction style thing - the driver of a convertible we're all in drives up a stairway to pick up a glamorous girl.
The shorts switch very quickly, one second we'll be doing one thing in one character, the next we'll be in different characters in a different scene. Even we don't know what the next scene will be and we have to improvise as we figure it out. In one scene, we're cops, in another, we'll be the criminals. In a particularly surprising scene, we suddenly find ourselves hovering in mid-air as bees with long striped appendages where our penises would be. We figure out that they are a weapon and we're superheros flying around catching criminals eluding the cops.
The final scene is Star Wars, Jason Lee is Darth Vader and I'm his invalid right hand man - the other actors have to stand up at attention when Vader enters, but I just flop on the ground as I have no control over my body.
The credits start scrolling up the animated road we're standing on and I'm talking to the actors about the scenes we were in - not all of us recognized the movies that were being mimicked. Suddenly, the credits stop and a surprise scene starts in which we're running down a wildflower covered hill. Then the movie is really over. Nobody is sure what the last scene was supposed to be - someone guesses The Sound of Music, another The Wizard of Oz. I disagree with both, but add that it may have been the book version of The Wizard of Oz.
