Line 56:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Partially in the [[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]] episode "The Message", when they [[Incredibly Lame Pun|call]] the baddies on ''not'' calling the station.
* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', a ship sent on a rescue gets its communications down and its engines damaged, but the allied ship doesn't know which way to go. So he shoots in the direction of the jump point, despite the fact that he's spinning out of control.
** The extremely brutal Earth-Minbari war started right when two ships of each of the races met for the first time. Identyfing the unknown vessel as a warship, the Minbari wanted to greet them with an Epic Hail that all fellow warriors would deserve. Apparently it was so epic that the humans completely freaked out and almost shot the Minbari ship into oblivion befor turning around and getting the hell away as fast as possible. Unfortunately the ship was transporting the Minbaris Emperor-Pope, whose death caused the Minbari to start [[Kill All Humans|killing all humans]].
Line 100:
* In ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'', after Cody is kidnapped, the audience follows the radio signals as they travel mouse-to-mose from Australia to New York City to summon help from the Rescue Aid Society.
* In ''[[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', Pongo and Perdita use the "Twilight Bark" as a last ditch effort to locate their missing puppies. To humans, it's just wild, sudden barking that causes other dogs within earshot to follow suit (and remember, dogs have really good hearing).
* The third ''[[Futurama]]'' film, Bender's Game, parodied the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' example given above by combining the two, with archers firing arrows from hilltop to hilltop to hilltop.
