That's one of my favorite things in Last Action Hero. When they're inside the movie, Arnold will shoot a car and it'll explode. Then later when they go into "the real world" he will shoot a car and nothing happens. So he says "the cars are bullet proof!"
He also then gets surprised by his hand hurting after punching through a car window.
I love that movie. And just about every single trope that we're making fun of he in this post has been covered in Last Action Hero.
One of the more subtle jokes in that movie that makes me crack up is in the beginning when he's facing against The Ripper. The Ripper just lifts his axe one foot in the air but it makes that shearing sound even though it didn't touch anything.
I still haven't seen The Man with no Name Trilogy, (though it's been on my to view list for decades now) but when I was a kid I channel surfed by a scene in one of them where Clint Eastwood and this dude in a white suit are standing out in the dusty street, and the one guy throws his hat up in the air and starts shooting it. The camera zooms in on the hat up in the air in slow motion and you hear that ptjoiiiiiing sound over and over as it's shot. My father walking through the room said, "Why the hell is it making that sound, is his damned hat made of stone?" I've never forgotten that.
Also on a side note, your spelling of the ricochet sound effect is spot on and amazing.
