Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* In ''Are We Done Yet'', John C. Macginley's character was explaining about [[Scrubs|dangerous pathogens]] to the main characters.
* In the 1999 movie ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'', [[Liam Neeson]] played the role of Qui-Gon Jinn (a mentor who taught Obi-Wan to conquer fear, to be mindful of his surroundings, etc...) and in the 2005 movie ''[[The Dark Knight Saga|Batman Begins]]'', [[Liam Neeson]] played the role of Henri Ducard, (a mentor who taught Bruce to conquer fear, to be mindful of his surroundings, etc...) and it's easy for those familiar enough with ''[[Star Wars]]'' to feel reminded of Qui-Gon when watching ''Batman Begins'' scenes involving Ducard. One cannot help but suspect this was on purpose. Furthermore, the ninja training Ducard offers Bruce is also noticeably similar to jedi training as well, in involving strong self-discipline, careful stealth, refined swordfighting skills, etc... {{spoiler|the difference between the two mentors becomes apparent later in ''Batman Begins'', when it's revealed that Ducard is in fact Ra's al Ghul and is shown to be a genocidal [[Knight Templar]], absolutely convinced that destroying all of Gotham was the right thing to to... contrast this with Qui-Gon, who (save for [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|making it his dying wish for Obi-Wan to train Anakin]]) was portrayed primarily as having sound moral judgement.}}

* In ''[[Tapeheads]]'', the FBI agent who says "Remember what we did to Jello Biafra?" as he arrests [[Tim Robbins]] and [[John Cusack]] ''is'' [[Jello Biafra]], who less than two years earlier had been prosecuted for obscenity based on complaints from the [[Moral Guardians|PMRC]].
