Ret Canon: Difference between revisions

** The Firefox (both the plane and movie plot) is actually an Expy of the '[[Mi G]]-242' from an episode of Gerry Anderson's puppet series 'Joe 90'.

* The original novel of ''[[House of Cards]]'' ends with {{spoiler|Francis Urquhart's death}}. This was changed in the TV adaptation, enabling sequels. The two sequels to the novel (both adapted for TV later) are based on the TV ending.

* At the end of the novel ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', Ian Malcolm dies. He survives in the movie, and in the sequel to the book he is the protagonist. On the flip side, several characters who survived in the book but were killed in the movie adaptation are mentioned in the ''Lost World'' book sequel as having died from assorted natural causes some time after escaping the island. The only major exception to this is Hammond, who stayed dead in the books and alive in the movies.

* Other than the basic premise of "cartoon characters are real and live side-by-side with humans" and four important characters (Eddie Valiant, Roger and Jessica Rabbit, and Baby Herman), there are almost no similarities between the book ''[[Who Censored Roger Rabbit? (Literature)]]?'' and the movie ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''. However, the author liked the movie much more than he'd liked his own novel, and when he wrote a sequel, ''Who Plugged Roger Rabbit?'', he followed up the movie's continuity, not the book's (which was even [[Hand Wave|handwaved]] away as being [[All Just a Dream]]).

** [[UB 40]]'s version was based on Tony Tribe's 1971 reggae reworking of the song, but evidently that hadn't been popular enough to justify Diamond changing his arrangement.

* Johnny Cash's version of [[Nine Inch Nails]]' ''Hurt''. Trent Reznor himself even said:

* [[Bob Dylan]] in concert tends to perform [[Jimi Hendrix]]'s cover of his song "All Along the Watchtower".

* Billy Joel likes Garth Brooks' version of ''Shameless'' so much that he lets Garth come out and sing it when he gives a concert.
