Line 83:
* In the 2003 ''[[Hulk (film)|Hulk]]'' film, Lou Ferrigno played a security guard (alongside Hulk's creator [[Stan Lee]]), and in ''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' (the 2008 movie starring Edward Norton), he voiced the Hulk (as well as playing another security guard). Ferrigno played the Hulk in the [[The Incredible Hulk (TV series)|1978-'82 live-action TV series]].
** In the 2008 movie, Edward Norton watches the Brazilian version of ''The Courtship of Eddie's Father'', which starred Bill Bixby, who played David Bruce Banner in the Hulk live action TV series. The kindly owner of the pizza parlor is played by Paul Soles, who voiced the Hulk in the '60s cartoon.
* The Tim "[[Toy Story (franchise)||Buzz Lightyear]]" Allen remake of ''The Shaggy Dog'' has the eponymous dog jump off a bridge on to a bus, with Allen saying "To infinity and beyond!"
** Also in ''[[The Santa Clause (film series)|The Santa Clause]] 2'' Santa (Tim Allen) encountered a plastic duplicate of Santa who believes himself to be the real thing. While combating one another the plastic Santa calls him a [[Toy Story (franchise)||"Sad, strange little man."]]
* In the 2004 ''[[The Punisher|Punisher]]'' movie, Frank's old cop buddies are trying to calm him down by saying they understand that he's upset. He responds, in part, "I used to get ''upset'' when the Yankees won the Series." This is both a [[Shout-Out]] to the original Punisher, where Frank Castle was always depicted as a New Yorker. And its an [[Actor Allusion]] about the actor, Thomas Jane, whose biggest role prior was playing Mickey Mantle of the Yankees in ''61* ''
* ''[[Kung Pow]]'' has Mufasa from ''[[The Lion King]]'', played by [[James Earl Jones]], signing off with one of James's taglines: "This is CNN".
