Line 33:
* "Big Gun" by AC/DC, which was the inspiration for "I Sawed The Demons" from ''[[Doom]]'', and "Big Gun" by Sonic Mayhem, from ''[[Quake]] II''.
* Scott O'Dell's book ''The Black Pearl'' has nothing to do with ''Curse of the Black Pearl'', the first ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie.
* ''Black Sheep''. Would that be a comedy starring Chris Farley and David Spade, or a horror-comedy set in New Zealand about killer sheep?
** Even my TV info is confused; the only way to tell them apart is that the horror one is shown late night on the action film-centric HBO channel.
** Not to mention ''Baa Baa Black Sheep'', the TV series about the famous "Black Sheep Squadron" of [[Semper Fi|US Marine Corps]] aviators in [[WWII]], led by [[Badass|Pappy Boyington]].
** Also, the 90s [[Hip Hop]] group (and recent [[Repurposed Pop Song]] victims.)
** ''Black Sheep'' is also a Jan Hammer (acid jazz) album, and its title track.
* [[Skinny Puppy]] have produced several different short experimental tracks titled "Brap".
* ''Brian's Song'' is a 1971 TV movie about an NFL player who died of cancer, and later a [[Family Guy]] episode subtitle. ''Byron's Song'' is a 2009 song by Rebekah Ann Curtis dedicated to a friend who also died of cancer.
Line 52 ⟶ 47:
* ''Conspiracy'' is a 2001 drama film about the Wannsee Conference of 1942, in which a group of Nazi bureaucrats held a meeting to discuss the implementation of the Holocaust. ''Conspiracy'' is also a 2008 action/thriller film starring [[Val Kilmer]].
* ''Crack Down'' is a 1989 arcade game by [[Sega]] which has nothing to do with ''[[Crackdown]]'', the 2007 [[Third-Person Shooter]] for the Xbox 360.
* The 1986 film ''Crossroads'', about blues legend Robert Johnson, has nothing to do with 2002 film starring [[Britney Spears]].
** And probably even less to do with a 1960s British soap opera set in a Midlands motel.

Line 105 ⟶ 98:
* ''Heaven Can Wait'' (1978) is unrelated to ''[[Heaven Can Wait]]'' (1943) except for the title. Or the We The Kings song.
** Or, indeed, the Jim Steinman/Meat Loaf song.
* In 1957, it was announced that writers Elwood Ullman and Edward Bernds were nominated for Best Screenplay for their script to the movie ''[[High Society (1955)|High Society]]''. Ullman and Bernds were surprised, since their movie was a lowbrow [[The Bowery Boys|Bowery Boys]] farce. As it turned out, the actual nominee was John Patrick, who wrote the screenplay for the ''[[High Society (1956)|High Society]]'' movie that starred Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra.
* ''The High Cost Of Living'' (2010) and ''Death: The High Cost Of Living'' ([[Development Hell]]) are about women dealing with death, but only one has [[The Sandman|Death herself]].
* ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' is a TV series about a doctor played by Hugh Laurie and a Japanese Horror/Comedy film from 1977. Also, it's a dance music genre.
Line 173 ⟶ 166:
* ''[[Night Shift]]'' is a short story collection by [[Stephen King]], as well as a comedy film directed by [[Ron Howard]] and starring [[Michael Keaton]].
* ''[[Night Shift Nurses]]'', the [[Hentai]] [[Visual Novel]] and [[Anime]], shouldn't be confused with the 1989 American porno flick named ''Nightshift Nurses''.
* ''[[Night Watch (novel)]]'' is a Russian urban fantasy series. Not to be confused with [[Discworld/Night Watch (Discworld)|the Discworld novel]].
** Or the [[World War TwoII]] novel by Sarah Walters. Or the Alistair MacNeil novel about the theft of the Rembrandt painting. Or the sequel to ''Ressurection Man'' by Sean Stewart. Or the ''[[Greyhawk]]'' novel by Robin Wayne Bailey. And apparently it's the title of [[Stephenie Meyer]]'s next book as well.
** Perhaps most confusing, it's also the name of a Danish horror film and its American remake.
*** And a season of an Icelandic comedy series, starring Jón Gnarr, the current{{when}} mayor of Reykjavík, Iceland's capital.
**** Or... well, we have [[Night Watch|a disambiguation page]] for this title, but we need to double-check whether everything listed here is on it.
* ''~9~'' the [[Western Animation|animated]] [[Film]], and ''[[Nine (theatre)|Nine]]'' the [[Musical]].
** Just as long as you aren't turned off by the similarity of the title with that of ''The Nine'', which probably deserved its swift cancellation.
Line 287 ⟶ 281:
* ''At World's End'', the 3rd ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' film, and ''World's End'', an entry in the ''[[Sandman]]'' comic book series.
** There's also ''The World's End'', the planned third film in [[Edgar Wright]]'s Blood and Ice Cream trilogy.
 
==Z==
* ''Zoo Keeper'' is an arcade platformer released by Taito in 1982. A different ''Zoo Keeper'' game, initially developed by Robot Communications and later ported to GBA, [[PlayStation 2]] and the Nintendo DS, is a [[Match Three Game]] with an animal motif.
