In Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994), Chun-Li's computer briefly displays the name "B. Lee" as her master. It appears during her fight sequence and is easy to miss. It's a direct reference to Bruce Lee, whose fighting style heavily inspired Fei Long's character.

After Batgirl (2022) was canceled, director Bilall Fallah says co-director Adil El Arbi told him to "shoot everything on your phone" before the footage vanished. By the time he checked the server, he had already been blocked by the studio, "everything was gone" — including the scenes featuring Michael Keaton's Batman. Adding to the frustration, Brendan Fraser who was cast as the villain Firefly, later said the film's Gotham, created using Glasgow, was one of the best versions of the city he'd ever seen. It was Warner Bros. Discovery that made the unprecedented decision to shelve the completed $90 million Batgirl movie as a tax write-off in August 2022. Both directors expressed extreme frustration that they couldn't even keep the rare scenes they had shot featuring Michael Keaton as Batman, which were permanently lost to them.

Disney's Hexed (2026) sparked debate after viewers noticed many trailer shots appear carefully centered, leading fans to speculate the framing was designed for easy 9:16 cropping on social media. Whether Intentional or not, it highlights the growing craze of vertical viewing.

In Apocalypse Now (1979), screenwriter John Milius wrote the three Playmates as an allegory for the Sirens from The Odyssey. Like Homer’s mythical Sirens, they were meant to be beautiful, untouchable illusions who lure Se×-Starved men toward obsession, madness, and violence.
