reference - Last Action Hero refers to real movies?

It is not so much a reference to a single particular movie, but to all the archetypical action movies of that kind, starring a hard-boiled one-man hero (usually a cop) who has a meaty name (like John McLane, Jericho Jackson, Jack Slater) and kills bad-guys while giving cool one-liners.



So no, it wasn't refering to an actual movie starring an actual Jack Slater, and yes, it was refering to a whole bunch (or whole genre) of other movies.
