* Near the end of the video for "Amish Paradise", Music/WeirdAlYankovic sings through one scene which obviously plays backwards. Most notably, a buggy rolls past in the background backwards. He is apparently singing the song while doing so, so to make this scene he must have learned how to lip sync backwards.

* In the video for Music/{{Genesis}}' "Anything She Does", this was used for the security guard played by Benny Hill to clean up the mess left behind by the uninvited guests to the after-concert party for the band.

* The ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' short "Hubbykins vs. Sweetie Pie" has a bit where Sweetie Pie glares at Hubbykins for tracking mud into the house and throwing his suitcase onto the floor, afterwards Hubbykins walks backwards as his suitcase somehow flies up back into his hand.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' episode "No Time For Smurfs", when Handy turns the hourglass filled with Father Time's Sands Of Time, he causes time to go backwards, as in fishes swim backwards, deer leap backwards, and the Smurfs do their everyday things and even speak backwards.

* On an episode of ''Series/AmericasFunniestPeople'', a man named Dan Gertz performed submitted a video of himself singing "Pop Goes the Weasel" backwards and then reversing the footage. The producers then assembled a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxsSJibiMtk music video]] of him performing "It's a Most Unusual Day" backwards, and then reversed the footage so that things around him (balloons popping, a person riding a bicycle, and a man eating a banana) appeared to be happening in reverse.

* ''Film/TopSecret'' has a scene in which the characters speak Swedish, except it's actually English recorded backwards. The entire scene was filmed in reverse, which becomes more obvious as it goes along.
* When doing the summation in ''Film/AceVenturaWhenNatureCalls'', Ace rattles off his conclusion towards the accused. He then says "Let me run that back for you", reverses his actions, and speaks like he's rewinding.
* ''Film/The6thDay'' rewinds the film to just at the point where Adam Gibson's syncording takes place right before the end credits.

* Used several times in the film ''Film/SupersonicSaucer'' to save on animating Meba's flights around [[BritainIsOnlyLondon London]] when he changes into his [[FlyingSaucer flying saucer form]].

* ''Disney/SaludosAmigos'' has two examples: In "Lake Titicaca" when the boy with the llama plays his flute in reverse and the llama's animation runs in reverse; and in "Gaucho Goofy" when Goofy catching an ostrich is run back so it could be shown in slow-motion.
