The song you are talking about was the theme tune of the TV series Mission: Impossible (1966–1973). It returned to television for two seasons from 1988 to 1990.
Original Theme(You Tube).
The Mission Impossible movie is based on the TV series.
In 1996, the theme was remade by U2 members Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. for the soundtrack for the Mission ...

A lot of people seem to think Juggernaut is the earliest film to use the "wire dilemma" trope. I found references to it everywhere from Amazon reviews to rap lyrics. Slightly more reliable references include:
Movies you should own: Juggernaut (Terror on the Britannic)
The first film to develop the 'red wire/blue wire' dilemma, it's a tense piece ...

Although I have nothing to back this up, I am a writer and one of my characters parallels the Hulk fairly closely. In my mind, there's little doubt why he did it. He loves to hit things, he just got through having an aggressive fight, Thor is still upright, and he knows that Thor won't be hurt by it. It's like punching your teammate on the shoulder pads ...

You can spot him reading a few different books:
Family happiness (Leo Tolstoy)
The Call of the Wild (Jack London)
Doctor Zhivago (Boris Pasternak)
and, of course,
Tanaina plantlore, Dena'ina k'et'una (Priscilla Russell Kari)
In the movie You can also see the entire book collection is carrying (at about minute 20), featuring:
War and Peace (Leo ...

I had always thought that referred to Natalie Portman who graduated from Harvard in 2003 around the time that The Social Network was to have taken place.
Out of the list on Wikipedia (which is certainly by no means authoritative or exhaustive), she's the only actor/actress that would fit that time frame.

According to the Notes Section of the Arrested Development Wiki for this episode, S1 Ep3, The Parents Television Council (PTC) had troubles with the profanity in the series, especially since in this episode Buster had two long strings of profanity.It also noted that Tony Hale personally does not use profanity, so, if the script called for it like here, he ...

Most people (including you, and most of the cops visiting the coroner) wouldn't eat something while examining a dead body, be it for hygienic reasons or because they're disgusted of dead bodies. So first of all seeing him eat something while examining a corpse infuses some kind of awkward feeling, making the coroner stick out from us normal persons as kind ...

AMC's own description of the episode explains that at first
Skyler basks in the luxury of Ted's heated bathroom floor
but later
Skyler stands in Ted's bathroom, fixing her make up post-tryst... Suddenly aware of and uncomfortable with the luxurious surroundings, she looks down at the warm floor, grabs a towel and stands on it.
Personally, I took ...

Blue letters represent the group which bid on the monster. Do you remember the scene at the start of the movie where they start collecting money from the people working ? That's what the money is for.
For example in the movie The Redneck Torture family was chosen by the characters. The Maintenance team bet on that before the group spends their night at the ...

Added examples, all over 5:05 - hopefully will lose the downvote.
I would say no, principally because of Jackie Chan. His movies like Supercop and Rumble in the Bronx are basically 90-minute street fights punctuated with bursts of dialogue.
A few excerpts from the master of the running non-stop fight:
Who Am I as an example clocks in at over 5:05.

Well when you look at the attempts to move it, it clearly does move, but very difficultly. I would suspect that he put some sort of extremely strong electromagnet just under the floor. That way any metal objects that are close enough are held tight towards it (like how neodymium magnets are extremely difficult to pull apart).
It would be an electromagnet ...

The big ploy about this song is that it is associated with the Lannister family line as a whole.
The look of horror that appears on her face is that of dread as the presence of this song means that the Frey's aren't their ally, but actually are with the Lannisters.
As stated and shown, it is truly a trap and one of the most shocking events in the whole ...

From an interview with writer and director Neil Burger:
Q: Several of the illusions that are shown in the film are based on real illusions from that time.
A: That's what I tried to do with the illusions. It is based on a short story, and it has some of the illusions in it. I used that as my
point of departure.
Magicians at that time -- in a ...

It was obviously a case of Hulk having the last laugh, so to speak and was intended to make people smile or laugh.
I highly doubt that there is any "official" reasoning available for such a minor thing which is clearly intended for the viewers to make what they will of it, with the implication that it was in relation to their (Hulk & Thor's) earlier ...

In Armageddon the character Bear (Michael Clarke Duncan) says:
Yo, Harry, you're the man.
after Harry (Bruce Willis) detonates the bomb.

I think the Hulk is a bit of an a-hole in the movie, not out of character for him or anyone who knows their power is unmatched. He undoubtedly remembers their battle in S.H.I.E.L.D.s' carrier and remembers he could not lift Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. He has a bit of contempt for demigods. Something Loki found out first-hand after announcing himself as a god and ...

We were previously shown that those altered by Extremis aren't immortal. Tony killed one on the airplane by blasting out his heart. I think the assumption in that situation is that without a heart to feed blood to the rest of your body you'll die.
When Killian was blown up the first time, he took a lot of damage, but it seems that his body mostly stayed ...

Extremis is a super-soldier solution. It's a bio-electronics package,
fitted into a few billion graphite nanotubes and suspended in a
carrier fluid. A magic bullet, like the original super-soldier
serum—all fitted into a single injection. It hacks the body's repair
center—the part of the brain that keeps a complete blue print of the
human body. ...

This sounds like The Princess Bride, (1987). Cary Elwes looks something like Jean Marais, and his character defeats Mandy Patinkin in a sword-fight, Andre the Gaint in hand-to-hand combat, and Wallace Shawn in a battle of wits. (The battle of wits is the poisoned-wine scene.)

From Ingmar Bergman, Cinematic Philosopher by Irving Singer (p 55-56):
The miracle of the gushing water in the Virgin Spring alerts us to the
fact that everything we have seen is a reflection strictly controlled
by the aesthetic parameters of a religious legend. From the very first
shots of the movie…each scene and every event in the narrative has

Alfred: [to Bruce] I had this fantasy,
that I would look across the tables and I'd see you there, with a wife
and maybe a couple of kids. You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to
you. But we'd both know that you'd made it, that you were happy.
IMO, what Alfred meant was that he did not expect Bruce to acknowledge the past. He just wanted him ...

That's just a bit of character development. They're showing that Hulk actually has a sense of humor (though a wicked one) and can show respect, in his own unique way. Gleefully arm-punching a buddy he's learned to respect and just fought shoulder to shoulder with shows that he's growing as a person.

It's a great scene in a great film but the fights in Eastwood's "Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can" were clearly longer, as was John Wayne's excellent "The Quiet Man".

The answer is right there in the scene:
Cole turning to face Jurgen. Smile gone. Glint of a gun
inside his jacket. Jurgen looking steadily back at him.
Takes a deep gulp of coffee.

There are 2 instances in the main arc which resemble the plot element you listed, one is when Itachi returns to Konoha where he tries to place Jiraiya under Genjutsu before trying to corner naruto alone but I am sure that's not the one you're looking for.
The second one the more close solution is in "Bringing Tsunade Back Arc" where naruto and Jiraiya try ...

I didn't catch any reference to future sequels — also because sequels are not decided by open endings or similar stuff, they are decided by the money the film managed to make and the likelihood of a sequel having a similar success (and revenue) —, rather a reference and play on the popular and fixed expression fastest gun in the west.
I can't find an ...

If we think from Alfred's view, he always wanted Bruce to live a peaceful life. So if he gets that chance anytime in future, he must not intervene into Bruce's life as it might make Bruce remember about him being the Batman as Alfred was the one who was from the commencement of Batman. So if he gets away from Bruce, it might help him forgetting about the ...
