* At one point in the [[Fritz Lang]] film ''Spies'', the protagonist runs by a wall covered with posters for Lang's previous film, ''[[Metropolis]]''. So presumably, in this version of Berlin, Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou exist but aren't working on ''Spies''. Fair enough. However, nobody seems to notice that the wheelchair-bound criminal mastermind {{spoiler|or the clown he often disguises himself as}} bears an uncanny resemblance to Rudolf Klein-Rogge, who played the mad scientist Rotwang in ''Metropolis''. Oh well, foreign agents probably don't go to the movies much anyway. |

* In ''[[The A-Team (film)|The A-Team]]'', Hannibal is played by Liam Neeson. At one point, the A-Team needs to get through airport security, so they all dress in disguise (much like [[Mythology Gag|in the original show]]). Face is a beatnik, Murdock is a rabbi, B. A. is an African in tribal dress ([[Hilarity Ensues]]), and Hannibal is...LiamNeeson. Isn't he trying to ''sneak'' past airport security? |

* In ''[[Blade (film)|Blade]] Trinity'', the Nightstalkers use ''[[The Tomb of Dracula]]'' to show the Daywalker who the [[Big Bad]] is. The character Blade first appeared in ''The Tomb of Dracula'' #10. |

* This is done in both live-action, [[Michael Bay]]-directed ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' films. In the first one, ''[[Armageddon]]'' is mentioned, which was also directed by Bay. Toys such as "Furby" and "My Little Pony" appear, which are manufactured by Hasbro, makers of the Transformers toys. In the second film, Sam draws on the walls of a dorm while in a trance. The first poster he scrawls on is that for ''[[Bad Boys]] II'', also directed by Bay. |

* In ''[[Eagle Eye]]'', posters for ''[[Disturbia]]'' can be seen in the Circuit City store. ''Disturbia'' was the previous project directed by DJ Caruso and starring [[Shia LaBeouf]], which then begs the question why nobody noticed that Jerry looks a lot like Shia. |
