Remember the movie Planet of the Apes ?
A set of astronauts stranded on a foreign planet where
ape like men are ruling an humen likes are just primitive.
At the end they discovered, what thruout the film is just
a vague idea - it's the earth of the future. And to enhance
this idea the last szene just shows the hero rinding along
a beach (into the evening and ... no, not a cowboy movie :),
where the Statue of Liberty is burried (just head and torch
are visible). A final picture ready made for US viewers.

Or maybe you have seen Space Balls ?
