== Anime & Manga ==
* The dub of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' has the voice [[Travis Willingham]] used for Mustang's "[[Chewing the Scenery|I love dogs!]]" line, which is based on the voice he used when trying out as ''[[Large Ham|Major Armstrong]]''; he even refers to the voice as "Armstang".
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
** In ''[[Black Panther]]'' vol 3 #60, the Coal Tigers are mentioned as being a rank in the Panther Cult.
* The working name for the Dinobot Swoop was Divebomb. The [[Transformers]] Marvel UK comics told that was his name back in Cybertron. Some time later, when Hasbro coincidentally made a Decepticon named Divebomb as part of the Predacons, the comics explained that Swoop lost his name to him after a defeat.
* The title of DC's ''Reign
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* Near the end of ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', while the enchanted furniture are fighting off the villagers, a music box can be seen among said furniture. That music box was originally going to be Belle's sidekick.
* Near the very beginning of ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]]'', [[Big Bad|Madame Medusa]] can actually be seen driving a large red sports car to New York City Airport, not unlike the one driven by [[101 Dalmatians|Cruella DeVil.]] Originally, the villain of ''The Rescuers'' was actually indeed going to be Cruella DeVil! And that car not only looks like Cruella's, but as a matter of fact, that car ''is'' Cruella's.
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)
* At one point in ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]''' development, Flint was trying to get into the Science League, headed by Vance LaFleur. You can still see a poster for the League in his room and lab.
* One of the drawings during the end credits of ''[[Tangled]]'' shows Rapunzel and Flynn consulting a fortune-telling monkey, in reference to a deleted scene in which Rapunzel and Flynn escape some guards with the help of a gypsy and her pet monkey.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
* In ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to The Future]] Part II'', Biff is listening to Perry Como's "Papa Loves Mambo" on the radio while driving to the dance. [[Word of God]] explained in the DVD commentary that they almost used "Papa Loves Mambo" in Part I for the [["Mister Sandman" Sequence]], but ended up using "[[Trope Namer|Mr. Sandman]]" instead. They stuck the Perry Como song into Part II as their way of referencing this little inside joke.
* The 2005 version of ''Pride and Prejudice'' has an unusual one. It's not a ''movie development gag'' but a ''book development gag''. Early in the movie, Elizabeth is seen reading a book titled "First Impressions." "First Impressions" was the original title Jane Austen gave "Pride and Prejudice." Also, when the pages of the book are shown, it's revealed that Elizabeth is reading hte last chapter of "Pride and Prejudice" with the characters' names changed.
* ''[[I Am Legend]]'' includes a development gag to another movie - a giant poster in Times Square has a Batman-Superman logo. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman was hired to write a Batman vs Superman film before it fell through. As an extra added joke, the logo was later used for ''[[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]]''.

* When Joel Surnow first got the idea for ''[[24
* An important character in Eko's {{spoiler|last}} flashback episode on ''[[Lost]]'' is named Emeka. Emeka was originally Eko's name during casting of the role, and numerous magazines reported it as his name when the actor was cast. It was changed to Eko shortly before filming began.
* Very obscure but... the Gallifreyan writing (inside hexagons) seen in the new series of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' resembles the strange abstract hexagonal design made by Susan, the Doctor's grand-daughter, in an un-aired pilot for ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
** In the new series, the season 4 premier "Partners in Crime" featured a character named Penny Carter. Penny Carter was the name of the original companion for Season 4. However, Catherine Tate, who had previously appeared as Donna Noble in "The Runaway Bride," had such a great time, she asked if she could come back. So, Penny was written out and Donna was written in.
* Some of the ideas from the original pilot for ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' that were scrapped made it into the show. The most notable example is the character Ted Sprague, who was based off of an Islamic terrorist featured in the original pilot.
* The two-part episode "The Menagerie" of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' features extensive footage of the (at that time as-yet) unaired first pilot "The Cage". Apart from Leonard Nimoy as Spock, the cast was completely different, and also the design of the sets and the uniforms differed somewhat. "The Cage"-footage cleverly was used as [[Flash Back]] to an earlier point in Spock's career.
* The ship wrecks featured in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|TNG]]'' episodes "Best of Both Worlds" and "Unification" [http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/wolf359.htm have been well documented by fans]. It turns out that some of them are actually study models for the ''Excelsior'' from ''[[Star Trek III: The Search For Spock|Star Trek III]]''.
* A ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series
* In the ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "The Betrayal", we get a flashback to Jerry and Kramer's first meeting, where the former calls the latter "Kessler" before being corrected. Kessler was the character's original name in the pilot episode.
* In ''[[Criminal Minds]]'', Jason Gideon's name was originally Jason Donovan. This is the name of the author of a book Gideon finds in an UnSub's apartment in one episode.
