All it takes to trigger the production of a spoof movie is a box office hit. So, with 300's surprise success a couple of years ago, it was only a matter of time before we got Meet the Spartans, now out on DVD — which, it just so happens, is a perfect excuse to look at the evolution of the spoof flick, tracing it along its path from the good, through the bad, and right up to the ugly.
