* Robby the Robot. Originally created for the 1956 film ''[[Forbidden Planet]]'', Robby continued to be reused in many movie and TV productions up to the present day (although since the 1960s a lightweight replica has been used). Its two appearances in ''[[Lost in Space]]'' are particularly ironic in that Robby and Robot B-9 were both designed by Robert Kinoshita. Robby is so memorable that it is less a prop and more of an actual character. Along with all the sci-fi shows he turns up in, Robby also appears in of all things one of the NBC era ''[[Columbo]]'' episodes as a robot built by a child genius at a think tank. He's even [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1119475/ listed] on [[IMDBIMDb]] as an actual ''actor''.
* The uniforms from ''[[Forbidden Planet]]'' were used in the sci-fi [[B-Movie]] ''[[Queen of Outer Space]]''.
* ''[[The Matrix]]'' used several sets from ''[[Dark City]]'' (filmed at the same Sydney studio a few months before, and exploring some similar themes), most notably the roof-case from the teaser chase scene and the spiral staircase in the Lafayette Hotel.
