Glad to see al the ones I could think of were included:
- Napoleon Dynamite (really you could have kept that entire scene)
- Cool Hand Luke (I can eat 50 eggs)
- Tanpopo (the erotic food couple doesn’t really have much to do with the actual plot of the film, but memorable nonetheless)

So close.
But without Chow Yun Fat’s amazing breakfast from Tiger on Beat, no cigar.
ETA - Here’s the whole scene!
I love how it’s a secret recipe handed down from every cinematic badass. If you didn’t know, this movie ends in a climatic chainsaw duel!

Did it have the exploding eggs from Ghostbusters?
I’m not going to Twitter to find out.

Yes, but not the exploding part.

They did. And the hot-bellybutton scene from Hot Shots, which is what I wanted to know.

Tampopo. The film celebrates the director’s love of food and his thoughts on how it ties into our basic drive for survival, something which also must include the sex drive; that love of food hangs over the shorter “episodes” and the “main” plot regarding the noodle shop and its owner’s search for the perfect noodle recipe. Almost everyone in the film displayed some risk-taking and/or some dire context was attached to food (just two examples: dying mother’s effort to cook family meal; hobo breaking into restaurant kitchen to make an omelet). The gangster/girlfriend egg scene covers the sex drive where other scenes did not. (And the gangster, before dying, tells a story about a treasured food memory of his.) Anyway, that’s what I believe.

Missed my favorite scene involving eggs, but to be fair, it doesn’t really fit with the overall vibe.

Perfect way to end the film. I appreciated that he used a fork (and not a whisk) to scramble the eggs. Less frothy for a firmer (and more concentrated flavor) omelet which lets it sit better on a slice of plain Italian bread; that’s the way we were taught to eat it when we were kids.

… try tuna salad maybe
your mind didn’t immediately jump to the v for vendetta scene?
i’m not upset, just… concerned
I love the gangster’s reaction to his girlfriend suggest soy sauce as an accompaniment to the yam sausages. 
How do make a compilation of egg scenes in film and not include Cool Hand Luke?
