* John Madden's ''[[Shakespeare in Love]]'', which sports 16th century theatre production riddled with movie-producing Hollywood stereotypes.
* Stephan Elliott's adaptation of ''Easy Virtue'' is set in the 1930s and includes songs such as "Sex Bomb" and "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going".

* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' gets pretty insane with the sheer weirdness of how they reconcile most of [[Schizo-Tech]], though usually the base level of technology (at least for humanity) is about on par with that of ''[[Zeta Gundam]]''. However, past that bare minimum the mecha range anywhere from uber futuristic to looking like an escapee from a museum, and even their fuel sources range anywhere from plain gasoline to fusion engines to outright [[Applied Phlebotinum]]. It also kinda helps that in the case of series with a definite anachronistic touch, like ''[[The Big O]]'', ''[[Turn

In this track, you can see the big Olmec stone heads from when Egypt was still ruled by the pharaohs; the big Pyramid of the Sun from when the Roman Empire was about to conquer pretty much all Europe; human-sized columns, known as ''atlantes'', built by the Toltecs when Europe was waging the Crusades; and big Aztec and Mayan temples made shortly before the Spanish conquistadores came to kick some butt. However, since the ruins do look like ancient Mexican ruins, a trained eye might as well not care much about that, maybe finding it rather amusing.
* ''[[Return to Castle Wolfenstein]]'' features cyborg monsters, futuristic heavy weapons (even by today's technology) such as the Venom (a hand-held minigun) and Tesla Cannon (which appears to cast [[Dungeons and Dragons|Level 6 Chain Lightning]]), and Helga von Bulow's female [[Elite Mooks]], who wear [[Stripperiffic]] or [[Spy Catsuit]]-type outfits.
