So The Three Musketeers (Paul Anderson, 2011) has an interesting moment when Logan Lernan's D'artagnan rolls into town on his dalmation-pony and is understandably made fun of by the guy with the bleedy eye in Casino Royale. The musketeer wannabe then accuses bleedy of insulting his ride, and challenges him to a duel.
What?
If you haven't seen it already, check out this clip of Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars (Sergio Leone, 1964) and note the shameless rip off.

My question is this: an ironic intertextual reference, or a blatant fraudulence? I'm not sure, you often find writers like to punch above their project's intelligence. Take the constant attempts to be deep in One Tree Hill.
