Line 19:
*** Don't forget [[Knights of the Old Republic|Darth Malak]], possibly the most obvious Darth Vader expy, and [[Star Wars the Clone Wars|Cad Bane]], an (unfortunately much more talkative) expy of Boba Fett.
* In ''[[Gremlins|Gremlins 2: The New Batch]]'', one Mogwai looks and acts very similarly to Stripe from ''[[Gremlins]]''. The music sting, the way the camera zooms in and Gizmo's reaction all make it abuldantly clear to everyone including Gizmo that, for all intents and purposes, Stripe has been reborn. (Technically, both characters are brothers, as they both popped out of Gizmo's back after he got wet, and the New Stripe has black and white fur rather than blue and white, and after he becomes a gremlin, he has a reptilian frill rather than a Mohawk. But still undeniably an expy of Stripe.)
* ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_salvation:Terminator salvation|Terminator Salvation]]'' {{spoiler|Marcus, in several ways, is an Expy of Arnold/the T-800, especialy in ''Terminator 2'', and to a lesser extent, Kyle Reese in the first Terminator movie. Marcus is basically a Prototype for the T-800, as he actually has a metal endo skelton and his outsides are living tissue. Unlike the T-800, however, he still has a human brain and thinks he's human. There's numerous little bits of action that remind you of Arnold, he kind of looks like a younger, skinnier Arnold, at his execution you actually EXPECT him to say "I'll Be Back" as his last words because they were just talking about bring him back to life the the VERY PREVIOUS SCENE (Instead, he just shrugs when asked for any last words) and, amusingly, when the humans chain him up after discovering his metal skeleton, his wrists are chained to a barbell.}} But even WITHOUT {{spoiler|Marcus}}, the movie has numerous little homages to the previous movies.
* The villains in each of the direct sequels to ''[[Highlander (Film)|Highlander]]'' -- Katana in ''[[Highlander II the Quickening]]'', and Kane in ''[[Highlander III the Sorcerer]]'' -- were pale imitations of the Kurgan, the awesomely memorable villain from the original. Kane even had the same deep, rough Dr. Claw voice as the Kurgan.
** Likewise, the villain from the [[Highlander (TV)|TV series]]' pilot "The Gathering", Slan Quince, was also a Kurgan expy.
