* ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'' has the [[Creator/IDWPublishing IDW]] tie-in series "Biff to the Future," which explains how Alternate-1985 became so chaotic. The day after the dance, Grandma Tannen forced Biff to take her to Las Vegas to gamble, where he runs into a hustler who tried to rob and kill him, specially after the hustler finds "[[TimelineAlteringMacGuffin Grey's Sports Almanac]]" among Biff's luggage. After Biff wins his first million dollars, he goes to Hollywood to become a film producer, but after realizing he was being scammed out of his fortune by a shady business partner, and after a chance encounter with UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan, who decided he was going into politics, Biff has his business partner killed and uses his money to take over Hill Valley. After effectively buying the city council and the police, Biff has George murdered to stop the resistance movement against him, and has the police frame Red the Bum as the killer. Biff makes his connections with the UsefulNotes/RichardNixon administration by agreeing to use his fortune to help dispose of toxic waste, and after buying the Washington post, which owned the local Hill Valley newspaper, to stop bad publicity against him, Biff inadvertently stopped the Watergate scandal. After bribing state legislator to repeal the 22nd amendment as a way to help Nixon remain in office in-definitively, Nixon legalized gambling when no one wanted to accept a bet from Biff, thus allowing him open Biff's Pleasure Palace hotel and casino. The Doc gets committed when after trying to re-write history, his refrigerator time machine is accidentally discovered by Biff and his goons.

In the novelization, they had already developed a theory, based on previous excavations, linking together older civilizations, making it more plausible that they were already familiar with such a language.

This is rather appropriate, as excerpts from Hollis Mason's book of the same name served a similar purpose as back-up material in [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} the original comic]].

* ''Film/Gettysburg'' gets most of the material from its source novel, ''Literature/TheKillerAngels'', into the film with only minor cuts, but one thing that didn't make it into the theatrical release or the ReCut is the story behind the ill and injured General Garnett's DeathSeeker behavior and Armistead's concern over it. The novel explains that Stonewall Jackson unjustly accused Garnett of cowardice for withdrawing from an untenable position and then got killed before the court-martial was over, leaving the charge hanging over Garnett's head. It was another example of the South's HonorBeforeReason, as the rest of the army would never doubt their dead hero and Garnett felt that the only way to cleanse his reputation was to die bravely in battle.

* A few extra details can be found in the novelisations of the Franchise/IndianaJones films:
** ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''
*** The rivalry between Indy and Belloq goes all the way back to graduate school where Belloq stole Indy's research while Indy was conducting his extracurricular activities with his academic advisor's daughter ... which also explains why Marion and Belloq are on a first name basis.
*** Marion was only fifteen years old when she and Indy (who was in his twenties at the time) began their relationship. This explains her "I was a child! It was wrong and you knew it!" comment.
*** The headpiece to the Staff of Ra is engraved with a warning not to look inside the Ark of the Covenant (it's also in the Bible), which is how Indy knew to close his eyes when the Nazis opened it.
*** Indy managed to stow away on the submarine without drowning by using his whip to tie himself to the periscope.
** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom''
*** The dinner scene is infamous as it portrays a very crude and inacurate stereotype of Indian cuisine. However, the novelization makes it clear that the point was to provide the first clue that something was amiss at Pankot, and that Chattar Lal wanted to horrify the trio and the British officer in an attempt to get rid of them.
*** Short Round thinks that the smallest of the three elephants is the reincarnation of his dead brother.
** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''
*** Indy wasn't merely caught trying to steal the Cross of Coronado on that ship — it was the climax of an elaborate ruse by Panama Hat to trap and kill Indy, the Cross being the bait. Panama Hat did this because someone wanted to buy the Cross from him and had stipulated that, as part of the deal, Indy had to be killed. Indy later suspects that the mystery buyer was Donovan, who — in addition to being just the sort of person who would want to own such an artefact — would've wanted to eliminate him in order to stop him from trying to find his father.
*** When Indy reads the Grail diary, he notes that there are six stages of the quest which are represented by animals. He encounters each animal (or a representation of that animal) in the correct order during his adventure. The last is an eagle, which is Indy's spirit animal — the result of a Navajo spirit quest that he undertook when he was 18.
*** Indy's linguistical skill is the result of his father forcing him to learn several foreign languages before he was 18. In Berlin, he thanks him for this.
*** What Elsa said in her sleep that made Henry realize she was a Nazi — "Mein Führer".
*** After the airship has taken off, Indy knocks out a Gestapo agent (who he shoves into the same compartment as the steward) and cuts the radio wires. When the airship turns round, he checks the compartment, and realises that the agent has come round and repaired the wires. The steward, who has also recovered, recognises him as the man who knocked him out, forcing Indy and Henry to escape by way of the biplane. A drunk WWI fighter ace who happens to be a passenger on the airship tries to give chase in a second biplane, but he's so drunk ''he forgets to start it'', and crashes.
*** After being revived by the Grail, Henry asks the Knight why he looks so old. The Knight says it's because for every day he did not drink from the Grail, he aged a year.
