The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003): The Empire Strikes Back (at itself)

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a 2003 steampunk superhero flick that pulls characters from the first volume of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's comic series - though honestly, the plot goes off in its own direction and barely resembles the source material. Stephen Norrington (of Blade fame) directed it from a screenplay by comic book and sometime-screenplay writer James Dale Robinson, and the cast includes Sean Connery, Peta Wilson, Naseeruddin Shah, Tony Curran, Stuart Townsend, Shane West, Jason Flemyng, and Richard Roxburgh. It's notable for being Connery's last role in a theatrically released live-action movie before he retired in 2006 (he passed away in 2020). Trevor Jones handled the score.
