The trope title and [[Trope Namer|namers]] are ''[[Seven Samurai]]'' (''Shichinin no samurai'') and ''[[The Magnificent Seven]]'', the latter of which is famous for both transferring the Kurosawa classic to the Old West (with Kurosawa's blessing) and being a classic in its own right. (A trivial note: ''[[Seven Samurai]]'' was originally released in the USA as ''The Magnificent Seven''; the English title was changed to a direct translation of the Japanese title later to avoid confusion with the remake.)

* ''Dune Warriors''
* Russian movie ''Dikiy vostok'' a.k.a. ''The Wild East''
* The comedy film ''[[¡Three Amigos! (Film)|Three Amigos]]!'', where the Mexican villagers recruit the heroes of silent westerns, not knowing they're just actors.
* In ''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'', aliens recruit the cast of [[Expy|a popular science fiction show]] to defend them from an [[Evil Overlord]], not knowing they're just actors.
* ''[[A Bug's Life (Animation)|A Bugs Life]]'', where the "warriors" are actually circus performers mistaken for warriors.
* Arthur and his six Sarmatian knights in the 2004 ''[[King Arthur]]'' movie, with the Britons and the "Woads" as the villagers and the Saxons as the bandits. The scene after the battle of Badon Hill with the graves of the knights who fell is lifted straight from Kurosawa.

Line 162:
* ''[[Star Wars the Clone Wars]]'' has the episode "Bounty Hunters". It even mentions Kurosawa in the opening.
* ''[[Justice League Crisis On Two Earths]]'' involves the six 'core' Leaguers (the same from the series, less Hawkgirl, and with Hal Jordan as [[Green Lantern]]) join an alternate universe Luthor to save said alternate universe from evil versions of themselves.
* ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers (Animation)|Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers]]'' had a very deliberate [[Shout
** Also, according to [[Word of God|series creator Robert Mandell]], this trope was also the inspiration for the series' entire premise, in the form of Waldo and Zozo contacting Earth to help them defeat [[God Save Us From the Queen|the Queen of the Crown]] and her [[Evil Empire]].
* ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'' has an episode where the five crew members are called by a little boy to save their playground from a garbage man intent on turning it into a landfill. The boy is under the impression that they are heroes instead of actors, and the LilyMu crew is under the impression that it's all a publicity gig!
