Line 68:
** In ''[[Twins]]'', Schwarzenegger sees a poster with ''[[Rambo]]'' and laughs at the size of Stallone's biceps compared to his own.
** In ''[[Tango and Cash]]'', Tango makes fun of a random prisoner by saying, "I loved you in ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]!''".
** And when they finally have a scene together in ''[[The Expendables]]'', Arnie turns down the mercenary job on offer, telling Mr Church ([[Bruce Willis (Creator)]]) to give it to Stallone's character as he "[[Rambo|loves playing in the jungle]]".
*** As Arnie walks away Stallone asks Willis what his problem is, to which Willis replies, "He wants to be President."
* In ''[[The 6th Day]]'', Arnold tells a man to "[[Get Out!]]" of his truck - just like he did on the first [[Terminator]] with a tanker.
Line 201:
** The actor who briefly played young Grindelwald in Deathly Hallows was the same as an actor who has played [[The Picture of Dorian Gray|Dorian Gray]]. The comparison is apt, as [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3894917/1/A_Very_Young_Girls_Record_of_Her_Own_Impressions others have noticed].
** In ''The Sorcerer's Stone'', John Hurt's character has a similar costume to [[The Storyteller (TV series)|the Storyteller.]]
* In ''[[Red]]'', [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]]' character proclaims a lock to be "[[Unbreakable]]". Also, [[John Malkovich]]'s character remarks "I remember when the Secret Service used to be tougher", referencing his role in ''[[In the Line of Fire]]''.
* In the B-movie, ''Gryphon'', one of Jonathan LaPaglia's lines is "[[Seven Days]]," spoken in such a way that it must have been intentional.
* In ''A Carol Christmas'', the ghost of Christmas Present is played by [[William Shatner]] and the way that he transports Carol to different places looks like teleportation in ''[[Star Trek]]''.
Line 236:
* ''Madhouse'': Having [[Vincent Price]] play an actor well known for playing the villain in horror films is sort of an actor allusion in and of itself, but then there's the fact that the clips we see of his character's old films are actually doctored scenes from other American International Pictures films starring Price. Also, after his character suddenly disappears during a talk show appearance, the host notes that he once played the invisible man: Vincent Price starred in ''The Invisible Man Returns''. Robert Quarry also gets an AIP-related [[Actor Allusion]] - During a costume party, his character is dressed as a vampire, and costume is the exact one he wore in the AIP film ''Count Yorga, Vampire''.
* Edward Hardwicke as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in ''Photographing Fairies''. By the time the film came out, Hardwicke was by far best known as the [[The Other Darrin|second]] Dr. Watson in the Granada ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' adaptations.
* In ''[[Sin City]]'', a cop attacking John Hartigan ([[Bruce Willis (Creator)]]) advises his colleague to kill without hesitation: John quickly dispatches them both and quips "Good advice". In ''[[Die Hard]]'', John McClane (Bruce Willis) took down a terrorist who had told him to kill without hesitation... then snarked "Thanks for the advice". Bruce's also lying on his back, shooting upwards, on both occasions.
* ''[[Gamera vs. Guiron]]'' featured a scene near the end of the film that seemed strange to non-Japanese viewers where the comic relief cop Kondo's glasses fell down his face, which he explained happened whenever he smiled. This was apparently actor-comic Kon Omura's trademark joke and appeared in most of his works.
* [[Ace Ventura]] is afraid of bats, which makes sense, since [[Jim Carrey]] also played the Riddler in ''[[Batman Forever]]''.
