* In ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' when Spike was [[Mushroom Samba|high on mushrooms]] he hallucinated a stair case that he climbed infinitely (he was really just stepping on the the same step of a real set of stairs) and meets a frog:
{{quote| '''Frog''': This here's the stairways to heaven. You know that, don't you?<br />
'''Spike''': Obnoxious little frog. }}
** Also of note is the series' finale, where {{spoiler|Spike dies while [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|descending]] down a staircase from the [[Executive Suite Fight]]}}.
Line 34:
* ''[[Futurama]]: Beast With a Billion Backs'' has the golden escalator version, although subverted as {{spoiler|they lead to a planet-sized being, who sent shkler/sklis image to primitive man, thus creating our universe's concept of [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]].}}
* Averted/lampshaded in the movie ''Soultaker''... leading to a hilarious exchange on the respective ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' episode:
{{quote| '''Brad''': Zach... Led Zeppelin was wrong, man.<br />
'''Tom Servo''': ''Shut up!''<br />
'''Brad''': There is no [[Stairway to Heaven]].<br />
'''Tom Servo''': ''Zep is '''never''' wrong, man''!<br />
'''Mike Nelson''': ''Is '''[[Black Sabbath|Sabbath]]''' wrong too, man''? }}
** Notable in that the movie does have an elevator to... some form of the afterlife. (Which looks suspiciously like a boiler room.)
