*** Strabo and Roman sources like Juvenal or Pliny actually talk about the ''puellae gaditanae'', women from Gades (today's Cádiz) or otherwise in the Baetica who were famous for their dances two centuries BC, even using metal castanets (''crusmata baetica''). I kid you not.
* See also [http://blog.adlo.es/2007/11/el_daredevil_de_brubaker_es_bueno_bueno.html this] ''[[Daredevil]]'' comic in which the hero participates in an illegal bullfight with ''lions'' (so... ''lionfight''?..)
** Daredevil also fought a villain called the Matador very early in his career. This culminated in a battle DD won by butting the Matador with his horns.
** And [http://blog.adlo.es/2008/12/no_me_gusta_que_a_los_toros_te_pongas_la_minifalda.html this] ''[[Superman]]'' one.
** And [http://blog.adlo.es/2007/08/batichica_turistica.html another one] from ''[[Batman|Batgirl]]''.

== Films -- Live Action ==
* There is a sequence taking place in this kind of Spain near the beginning of ''[[Mission: Impossible]] 2'', where they managed to mix the running of the bulls with Seville's Easter with the Fallas with about any other Spanish cliché.
* Tom Cruise is doing it again in the upcoming ''Knight & Day'', with running of the bulls scenes shot in scenic Cádiz, in the other extreme of the country.
** It may have been shot in Cádiz, but the movie claimed it was Seville.
Line 95:
* An episode of the classic ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' cartoon featured the Running of the Bulls... ''in Lisbon.''
** Which of course, looked like your stereotypical Spanish town, apart from the mentions of them being in Portugal.
* One episode of ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' had the spies going to Spain. Not only was Madrid placed MUCH higher on the map, the city seemed to have come out of the 19th century... oh yeah, and there were bulls, of course.
