> I wish the rest of the score sounded like it and not The Dark Knight Part 427.

I understand why people keep saying that, but that music really *is* the joke. That's the whole point. The opening scene of Drebin foiling the bank robbery is staged and shot like the Heath Ledger/Joker bank robbery scene from The Dark Knight, and Balfe parodying that music is what helps sell the scene.

The same with the Mission Impossible parody later in the movie - the P.L.O.T. Device and the scheme that the villain comes up with *is* a Mission Impossible scenario and, again, Balfe spoofing his own music for that franchise is a massive part of why the jokes land.
