* ''[[The Thin Man (film)|The Thin Man]]'' movies, too (the thin man of the original movie referred to the murder victim, not the main character).
* ''Kangaroo Jack'' is very much a supporting character in the roo's own movie. [[Never Trust a Trailer|And it doesn't talk aside from a brief hallucination.]]
* The movie ''[[Stephen King|Hearts in Atlantis]]''. This is due, however, to it being an [[Artifact Title]] from the novella: the original novella was called "Low Men in Yellow Coats" and "Hearts in Atlantis" was an entirely different story (called so because the main
** I believe that Brautigan refers to the sunken continent at some point in the dialogue, but that still doesn't make explicit the "hearts" part.
* ''The Last King of Scotland'' is actually about the Last Dictator of Uganda. It makes sense in the movie...however, the eccentric Idi Amin was basically a [[wikipedia:Idi amin#Erratic behaviour and media portrayal|walking version]] of
* ''[[Tron]]'' isn't really about Tron, but more about Flynn. ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'' even moreso.
* ''[[Monster a Go-Go!]]'' has a monster ([[It Makes Sense in Context|sorta]]), but he doesn't dance - nor does Go-go dancing figure into the threadbare plot it has.

The Rangers ''already'' have their powers, and the episode is primarily focused on the Green Samurai Ranger, Mike, who technically could be said to "rejoin" the team in the latter part of the episode.

* [[MS Paint Adventures]] is really only 3 stories and 1 [[Orphaned Series]] and the current one hasn't actually been an adventure <ref>
* "Faraway Morning and Three Short Tales" is the title of the 34th chapter of ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' which actually does have characters telling [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|three short tales]]. Sounds like a short chapter, right? It's actually one of the longest chapters to date thanks to all of the [[Character Development]] and plot revelations going on between each of the tales.
