* ''[[Men in Black (Film)|Men in Black]]'' plays it straight when K is watching his lost love, although it does appear to turn into a freeze-frame as she looks upward.

** Of course, like everything else the Men in Black use, from their guns to their cars, the satellites in question are undoubtedly made with advanced alien technology, so it's sort of justified.

* Soundwave in ''[[Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (Film)|Transformers Revenge of the Fallen]]'' takes this to the natural extreme, using a satellite as his alt mode. He can even hijack other spy satellites through a process that looks suspiciously like tentacle rape.
