* ''{{Series/Tracker}}'': "What Lies Beneath" probably qualifies. Zin and his minions break into the Watchfire bar because they've finally realized it's where the superweapon they're seeking is hidden. Zin thinks he's neutralized Cole by having a minion zap him with a gun that tampers with his powers, but they don't count on Mel finding out she's part alien and being able to reverse the effect and get Cole back to normal. Nestov claims he was doing a 'triple cross' as well, but it's left ambiguious as to whether he simply betrayed the heroes or actually was attempting to foil the plan.

* Parodied in ''Fanfic/XMenTheEarlyYears''. In "Twinkies, Holdups and Other Things that Aren't Good For You", an incredibly dense crook attempts to rob a pet store, believing it to be a bank, right when [[Franchise/XMen Scott Summers, Warren Worthington and Robert Drake]] are buying a new pet. The trio has to figure out a way to take him without revealing their powers. Eventually ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} manages to frighten him out of the place.

* In the ''Series/LoisAndClark'' episode "Fly Hard" (yep, they weren't even trying to hide it), robbers take over the ''Daily Planet'' building and drill the floor, searching for [[BriefcaseFullOfMoney prohibition-era money]]. Of course, part of the humor is that Comicbook/JimmyOlsen slips through the terrorists' fingers when they lock up the hostages (while Clark Kent, of course, is rounded up with everyone else). Jimmy deludes himself into thinking ''he'''s Bruce Willis and is going to save everyone's lives in a rather hilarious InternalMonologue held while crawling through an air duct. He, of course, ends up accomplishing nothing much in particular until Superman finally "arrives" to save the day.

** "Alone Against AIM" was actually promoted once as, "''Die Hard'' at Stark Industries!" The Scientist Supreme cuts off the power at the main Stark Industries office building, and takes Pepper Potts hostage, while also stealing some of Comicbook/IronMan's armor. This leaves an un-armored Tony Stark having to stop AIM from blowing up the building, with the Technovore chasing him in pursuit of the arc reactor in his chest. One scene even shows Tony descending an elevator shaft together with Maria Hill.

* ''Film/Speed2CruiseControl'' genuinely ''Film/{{Speed}}'' is ''Die Hard'' on a boat.bus, with a twist -- it's a ''moving'' bus. A MadBomber plants a bomb on a Los Angeles city bus that arms when it reaches 50 miles per hour and will detonate if it goes below that, then demands a ransom of millions of dollars. The [=McClane=] role is shared by the bomb squad officer trying to disarm the explosive and a passenger who's forced to take the wheel of the bus and keep it moving after the driver is injured. Its plot wound up parodied almost as much as ''Die Hard''[='=]s was in the '90s.
* ''Film/Speed2CruiseControl'', the sequel to the above, is more straightforwardly ''Die Hard'' on a cruise ship.
