8	Film directors start out as movie buffs, often of the most obscure sorts of films. On top of that, many modern directors went to film school and saw hundreds of legendary movies. Even after they get to direct movies of their own, they often love to use angles, compositions, and shots they saw in school. Of course, all directors use tricks and shots invented long before. But while anyone can do a TeamPowerWalk, it takes skill and devotion to light and shoot a power walk exactly like Philip Kaufmann did in ''Film/TheRightStuff'' (especially if your film isn't about astronauts).
9
10	This trope does not count deliberate parody, or remakes of old movies, unless it's a new adaptation from the original medium. (Creator/PeterJackson's ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' trilogy qualifies for this trope, while the remake of ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' does not.) Something similar occasionally appears in comics, but the comparative ease of copying (light tables) makes it hard to tell the homages from the flat-out swipes.
11
12	Occasionally this is InspirationNod, but usually it's more of a ShoutOut to a director that inspired them to get into the business. It's ArtImitatesArt of cinema. If the homage is referential to a series or property's own past, it's an InternalHomage.

19	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
20	* ''Literature/DirtyPair'' OVA #6 has a scene with Yuri and her mob-scion/fiance-for-an-episode running along the beach in the setting sun, tripping and rolling/falling and finally kissing. It looks like a commercial, and it is, sort of. Yuri and Beau are directly re-creating a lipstick commercial from an old ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' episode. Only the commercial famously cut out right before the kiss.
21	* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' has done quite a few salutes to HumongousMecha franchises such as ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', with the most popular of these likely coming from [[CuteBruiser Subaru's]] TransformationSequence, where the PowerCrystal of her device comes out in the same way and with the same dimensions as the G-Stone reveal during ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'''s [[CombiningMecha Final Fusion]].
22	* First page of ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'' seems to be going for this general effect vis-a-vis the first page of ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'', not in doing the exact same thing visually but in doing close to the same thing, period, with a different era and a different made-up swordsman. See the SDK page for ridiculously intricate details.
23	* The ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' series has the following, since it's a reimagining of the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'':
24	** Lacus's exit from her escape pod at the end of episode 7 and the beginning of episode 8 was a nod to [[http://imgur.com/m6Zzm0u Lalah Sune's exit from Char Aznable's shuttle]] in episode 34 of ''Mobile Suit Gundam''.
25	** In episode 23 of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'', Heine (piloting the GOUF Ignited) fighting Stellar (in her Gaia Gundam) is a nod to the fight between Amuro and Ramba Ral in episode 12 of ''Mobile Suit Gundam'', with the same pink background during the fight.
26	--->'''Heine''': This is no ZAKU, pal. ''NO ZAKU!!''
27	* Episode 11 of ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' features several shots that are homages to the ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' movie ''Beautiful Dreamer''; this is because Mahiro, much like the ''UY'' cast, has been traped in a GroundhogDayLoop-ing dream world.
28	[[/folder]]
29
30	[[folder:Comic Books]]
31	* The entire ComicBooks medium can be summed up by this [[http://www.comicvine.com/homage-covers/12-43734/all-images/108-219464/ comic book cover archive.]]
32	* In ''[[ComicBook/AthenaVoltaire Athena Voltaire and the Feathered Serpent]]'', Athena escapes pursuit by swinging out on a vine, dropping into the water, and swimming out to her float plane. This is probably a homage to a scene in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', since Athena Voltaire has no shortage of comparison points to Franchise/IndianaJones, and nods have been made by the author outside the comics proper).
33	* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': The number of homages to issue ''Comicbook/TheDarkKnightReturns'' #1, featuring Batman leaping through the sky as lightning strikes in the background).
34	%%* ''ComicBook/NickFury'': Jim Sternako's cover to ''Nick Fury, Agent of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}'' #4, with the hero posed before a collage of psychedelic patterns and monochrome action shots.
35	* ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'': The 18th issue of the second run's cover is an homage to the cover of Superman #421, with [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} Captain Strong]] (who makes his first New 52 appearance in this issue) lifting up Harley who is occupying the same place as Superman in that cover, i.e. hiding inside a phone booth (except, since this is a comic from 2015, Harley asks "[[UnintentionalPeriodPiece what the hell is a phone booth?!]]").
36	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In a non-cover example, ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' [[ComicBook/IfThisBeMyDestiny #33]]. No matter the reality, no matter if it's [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan animated]], [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming live-action]], [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 video game]] or an {{Elseworlds}} ComicBook/WhatIf where Flash Thompson became Spider-Man - there ''will'' be a scene of Spider-Man lifting a pile of rubble out from under him, and it ''will'' be [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment awesome]]. ComicBook/NickFury even went so far as to imply it's a multiversal constant.
37	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': Many covers as well as panels homage ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #1, the debut appearance of Superman, [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness which showed him picking up a car and scaring people around him]]. Even one ComicBook/MiniMarvels comic referenced it.
38	* ''Comicbook/XMen'': The number of comic book covers which homage the ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast'' cover (the one with the 'wanted' and 'deceased' posters on the wall) is truly staggering.
39	[[/folder]]
40
41	[[folder:Fanfiction]]
42	* The ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' fic ''Fanfic/TheHeadhunt'' has a literary homage shot (i.e. described instead of shown) to ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''. The scene where the USS ''Bajor'' effortlessly overtakes the [[spoiler:''Enterprise''-A]] was based directly on the ''Vengeance''[='s=] attack on the ''Enterprise'' in the movie.
43	* In Creator/AAPessimal's ''Literature/{{discworld}}'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12321109/5/Gap-Year-Adventures Gap Year Adventures,]]'' two adventurous voyagers in Klatch reflect on the fact that if they're found out, an awful lot of Klatchians will be pursuing them. Especially since they've already been responsible for quite a lot of cheerfully-applied destruction and violence which the Klatchian authorities are quite unreasonably holding against them. Poised on the border to enter the Empire, their conversation revolves around each being in position of a fully fuelled camel, they're wearing sunglasses, it's getting dark, and they have a packet of cigarettes. They unanimously agree to [[Film/TheBluesBrothers hit it.]] As the camels are duly hit and lumber forward, one turns to the other, puzzled, and says "but we don't smoke..."
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder:Film — Animated]]
47	* In ''WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio'' the bomb that causes Carlo's death is shown to be dropped in a manner that [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/844604104134885430/1062805945043914893/image.png recreates]] the shot of the bomb at the beginning of del Toro's earlier movie ''Film/TheDevilsBackbone''.
48	* The first shot of the fight between Diego and Soto at the end of ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' is identical to the first shot of Simba's fight with Scar at the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King\|1994}}''.
49	* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' has a shot of Stitch walking away in a path surrounded by foliage that is taken directly from the 1939 Silly Symphony short ''The Ugly Duckling''. An earlier scene has him by the road under the rain while a frog sits by him, in reference to the bus stop scene in Creator/HayaoMiyazaki's ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''.
50	* The climax of [[VillainSong "Be Prepared"]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King\|1994}}'' is another homage to ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill''. It's particularly blatant because the geometry of the cave is quite suddenly artificial looking to invoke the city setting of ''Triumph of the Will''.
51	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', when Mei is jumping along the rooftops at night, time slows for a moment and she [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/ba48618041f19274ab950b80c7ca7ca8/8eacef16e39bfef2-69/s540x810/6e068c280cb9e3a1d649e0f810b805215c8ab638.gifv poses]] like [[https://flxt.tmsimg.com/assets/p8471376_p_v8_ab.jpg the iconic jumping shot]] from ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime''.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Film — Live-Action]]
55	!!!'''In General:'''
56	* Film sequences that are especially prone to homage:
57	** The "Odessa steps" scene from ''Film/TheBattleshipPotemkin'', BabyCarriage and/or soldiers optional.
58	*** ''Film/TheUntouchables1987'' has an example of this one, complete with baby carriage.
59	*** In ''Film/{{Brazil}}'' the baby carriage is replaced by an industrial vacuum cleaner.
60	** The overhead shot of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler walking up to the podium flanked by soldiers standing in block formation from ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill''
61	*** Nero reviewing (and saluting) Roman soldiers from his balcony in ''Film/QuoVadis''
62	*** The ending of ''Franchise/StarWars Episode IV: Film/ANewHope''
63	*** Creator/IanMcKellen's ''Film/RichardIII''
64	*** Clu speaking to his soldiers in ''Film/TronLegacy''.
65	** The shower scene from ''Film/{{Psycho}}''.
66	!!!'''By Creator:'''
67	* Creator/GeorgeLucas is also an old Kurosawa fan. (He, Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola were instrumental in finding the money for ''Film/{{Ran}}''.) While ''Franchise/StarWars Episode IV: Film/ANewHope'' is built off Kurosawa's ''Film/TheHiddenFortress'' and ''Film/TheDamBusters'', the homage shot (the pan along the ground to a severed arm) is lifted from ''Film/{{Yojimbo}}''. There's also bits and pieces of other stuff, like {{Western}}s and older SciFi movies, if you pay ''real'' close attention and know what to look for.
68	* Creator/StevenSpielberg is the absolute king of this. While his own style is distinctive (and subject to homage by other directors), he loves to work in bits from other movies.
69	** His longest sequence of homage shots comes in the opening scene of ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan''. As the rangers hit the beach, Spielberg slips in bits from war movies that have come before (this case might count as PinkBunnySlippers). After Tom Hanks falls into the water, we have a shot of bullets making water trails round floating bodies that looks like a scene from Peter Weir's ''Film/{{Gallipoli}}''. As the troops crawl along the beach, we see a medic checking a wounded soldier and discovering that he's been completely eviscerated. The wounds and the pose are straight out of ''Film/CatchTwentyTwo''. Lastly, we catch a glimpse of a wounded man holding his own severed arm, a twin of a shot from Kurosawa's ''Film/{{Ran}}''.
70	** Many people noted the use of the generic "Japanese man looking back at Franchise/{{Godzilla}}" shot in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark''. More obscure is the sequence where the hunters are running through the tall grass at night. A series of tracking pans of each figure, snapping back to pick up the next man, it's a direct lift from Creator/AkiraKurosawa's ''Film/SevenSamurai'', down to the tall grass. The moonlight helps match it to the black-and-white original.
71	!!!'''By Movie:'''
72	* ''Film/{{Alatriste\|2006}}'': The scene of the surrender of Breda is modelled after Velazquez's famous painting.
73	* The confession scene in ''Film/AmericanPsycho'' is very evocative of Walter's confession scene in ''Film/DoubleIndemnity''.
74	* In ''Film/{{Aragami}}'' there is an Homage Shot to ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', of which the director, Creator/RyuheiKitamura, is an outspoken fan. When the [[ManWithNoName nameless]] {{Samurai}} shoots at UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi, Musashi dodges, and then stands framed exactly like the cyborg Ninja in ''Metal Gear Solid'' does if you try shooting at him in battle. He performs an identical sequence of WeaponTwirling as him, and then directly quotes the Ninja by saying "You can't defeat me with a weapon like that."
75	* In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' Spider-Man brings up ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' to suggest taking care of Ebony Maw by getting him ThrownOutTheAirlock, and Maw's corpse drifting towards and past the camera is even a shot-for-shot recreation of the Xenomorph Queen helplessly drifting away from the USS ''Sulaco'' after being ejected.
76	* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves'': There are three shots in this film that are directly taken from velociraptor scenes in ''Film/JurassicPark''.
77	** The opening prison cart drop off is blocked just like the velociraptor intro.
78	** The overhead shot where the party pulls Doric away from the dragon's bite is nearly identical to when Grant pulls Lex up into the air ducts away from the jumping velociraptor.
79	** After the splicer beast victim realizes the true hunter is over his shoulder, it is framed the same way as when Robert Muldoon meets his end after muttering "Clever girl" to the alpha hunter.
80	* ''Film/{{Fargo}}'': The scene where Carl buries the BriefcaseFullOfMoney beside the road is a homage to a similar scene in the 1960 British film ''Film/TheCriminal'' where Johnny Bannion buries a suitcase full of stolen cash in an empty field.
81	* Another animation to (sorta) live-action lift: Luna's Patronus in the film version of ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' is a rabbit. It runs around the air in a pattern lifted from the opening narration/montage of the movie ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' ("Prince with a thousand enemies").
82	* ''Film/JennifersBody'' contains several homage shots to the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movie, all twisted in some way, like Jennifer kissing her victim in a forest clearing that looks like the one where Edward confessed that he was a vampire to Bella; and the deer lapping the victim's corpse, which recalls the deer sipping from a pool that Edward ate at the start of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''.
83	* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'':
84	** Creator/PeterJackson shot one bit at Bilbo's birthday party in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' ("Proudfeet!") as an exact copy of a shot in Creator/RalphBakshi's animated ''WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings.'' Jackson even helpfully points this out in the commentary. A circle-round shot of the four hobbits at Weathertop is also lifted from the original, although the camera moves much faster and Aragorn is absent. And the hobbits hiding in the crotch of a tree from the Nazgûl? Also from the Bakshi version. (It's the last shot you'd expect, isn't it?)
85	** The scene at the black gates of Mordor appears to be a homage to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.
86	** Saruman telekinetically closing the 4 doors in his tower to keep Gandalf trapped in Orthanc mirrors a similar scene in ''Film/{{Dragonslayer}}'' where Ulrich traps Galen in the wizard's tower - yes, four doors are also involved.
87	** Wormtongue brings a flame too close to some gunpowder, Saruman deftly moves the flame away = The Wise Man and Ash respectively in ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness''.
88	** Another ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' example: Saruman (through a possessed King Théoden) telling Gandalf that "You have no power here!", a line for line echo of what Glinda says to the Wicked Witch of the West.
89	** And another: Galadriel kisses the top of Frodo's head as he prepares to leave Lothlorien in a manner very similar to how Glinda kisses Dorothy as she is leaving Munchkinland.
90	** Aragorn throwing an apple at Pippin parallels the apple trees doing likewise at The Scarecrow.
91	** And again: Frodo and Sam (and Gollum) crouching behind a boulder as they watch enemy troops march past near an enemy citadel essentially duplicates the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion as they plot to enter the Wicked Witch's citadel. Can you tell that PJ loves this film yet?
92	** The fight scenes at Helm's Deep in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers The Two Towers]]'' have a certain similarity to those in ''Film/{{Zulu}}''. ''Orc's Drift'', anyone?
93	** The look of King Theoden when he is possessed by Saruman owes a lot to the dusty visage of King Bruno the Questionable in ''Film/{{Jabberwocky}}''.
94	* WordOfGod has stated the scene in ''Film/LoveActually'' where [[spoiler: Mark reveals that he's in love with Juliet by showing her his tape of her wedding, which is entirely made up of shots of her]] is a homage to the ending of ''Film/CinemaParadiso''.
95	* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'': Gore Verbinski stuck in a virtually identical shot of Creator/OrlandoBloom in Tortuga echoing one he did in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'' in Lothlórien: in both cases Bloom reacts to an offscreen comment or activity with a concerned look as he turns his head.
96	* The ''Film/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'' film had a scene where the camera rotates around The Prince on a high tower to give a good view of the landscape. The exact same shot which was used for viewpoints in ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''. Not surprising, considering that both franchises are owned by Creator/{{Ubisoft}} and the videogame ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheForgottenSands'' even allows the Prince to wear an assassin costume as a completion extra.
97	* ''Film/{{Spotlight}}'': When Rezendes is finally able to get the SmokingGun documents attached to Garabedian's response to the church's motion, the files with them are shown being put down on the desk by the court clerk from straight above—exactly the same way Woodward and Bernstein are shown receiving documents from the Library of Congress early in ''Film/AllThePresidentsMen'', a film to which ''Spotlight'' has often been compared.
98	* ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars: — Episode IV A New Hope]]'': The trench run scene in the climax is heavily inspired by ''Film/TheDambusters''.
99	* The train crash in ''Film/{{Super 8}}'' is set up almost identically to the one in ''Film/TheGreatestShowOnEarth''.
100	* ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' homages ''Film/ANightToRemember'' in the scene where Andrews is checking the clock and calmly accepting his fate (the page pic).
101	* ''Film/Tremors5Bloodlines'': There's a homage to the Velociraptor kitchen scene from the first ''Film/JurassicPark'' when an Assblaster breaks into the kitchen of the main compound In pursuit of its prey. Most noticeably, there's an almost identical shot centered on the Assblaster's foot claw tapping on the floor.
102	* ''Film/{{Us}}'': The [[spoiler: position of Becca and Lindsey Tyler's corpses are identical to [[Film/TheShining the Grady Twins']].]]
103	* ''Film/RogueOne'' includes a shot of a Star Destroyer emerging from the shadow of the Death Star that is a frame-for-frame homage of the iconic shot of the Macross emerging from Saturn's shadow at the beginning of ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove''
104	* ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'': Doc's idiosyncratic way of dancing in 1885 is stated in the commentary to be an homage to ''Film/MyDarlingClementine''. There is also a careful reproduction of another shot from that film: [[BarSlide a gun being slid down a bar toward the camera, in deep focus]].
105	* ''Film/TheParentTrap1998'': After checking in at the hotel, Nick and Meredith enter the elevator ''en route'' to their suite, when Nick turns around and sees Elizabeth in the lobby. The sight of his old wife poleaxes him so thoroughly that he leans dramatically to the side to keep her in view as the elevator door closes--just like Creator/CaryGrant does in ''Film/MyFavoriteWife''.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
109	* ''Series/BabylonFive'': President Clark's swearing-in scene is intentionally shot to resemble that of UsefulNotes/LyndonJohnson.
110	* In a very weird example, the "windowpane scene" between Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in ''[[Series/TheColbertReport A Colbert Christmas]]: [[ChristmasSpecial The Greatest Gift Of All]]'' is a direct clone of the TearJerker ending of ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. Without the Vulcan hand sign, obviously.
111	* ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'': "Chapter Fifty-One" has a bit of a Creator/AlfredHitchcock theme, including a few of these:
112	** To ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'' before the first segue, where "Jane Villanueva Presents" appears on the screen along with an outline of her.
113	** To ''Film/{{Vertigo}}'' as Rafael realizes that his father's paintings were stolen from the convent Elena deposited the checks to.
114	-->'''Narrator''': OMG I’m getting vertigo! Stop spinning!
115	** To ''Film/TheBirds'' as the birds circle around the convent. Acknowledged by the narrator, who "couldn't help Hitchcock-ing it up".
116	* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'':
117	** The shot of Elendil covering the sun with his silhouette while making a shadow over Galadriel and Halbrand is inspired by the shadow scene of Lawrence adopting his savior complex and leading the Arabs to their potential freedom.
118	** Subverted with the scene of Galadriel and Theo hiding under a log from the Orcs. According to Alex Diesenhof, the similarities with the hobbits hiding under a long in both the Bakshi’s and Jackson’s films were accidental.
119	[[/folder]]
120
121	[[folder:Music Videos and Album Art]]
122	* The cover of the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' [[ImageSong music album]] "Medium" is a reference to the iconic Japanese/European cover of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', copying the shape of Meteor and the Black Materia almost exactly with a planet and a meteor.
123	* The music video to Music/MileyCyrus' "Wrecking Ball" contains a long shot of Miley's crying face directly taken from the music video for Music/SineadOConnor's "Nothing Compares 2U".
124	* The cover of Music/JoeJackson's ''Body and Soul'' album is a recreation of the cover of jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins' 1957 album ''Vol. 2''.
125	* The ''Radio/CarTalk'' compilation album ''Born Not To Run'' recreates the album art of ''Music/BornToRun'' with Tom and Ray Magliozzi.
126	* The AnimatedMusicVideo for Music/GoodKid's "Mimi's Delivery Service" contains recreations of multiple shots from ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService'', [[PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle the movie the song is named after]].
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Pinball]]
130	* ''Pinball/FunHouseRudysNightmare'': The mode "Don't You Want a Balloon?" opens with a scene lifted straight from ''Literature/{{It}}'' -- a MonsterClown appearing inside a sidewalk sewer grate.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:Video Games]]
134	* ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'': The promotional image for the final episode of the second season, "Same Stitch", homages the cover of ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', while also [[ReimaginingTheArtifact updating it for modern times]]: [[ComicBook/TheJoker John]] is holding a smartphone (the one he carries the entire game) as opposed to an old-fashioned camera. Also, [[spoiler: [[MultipleEndings it's Villain Joker holding the phone, while Vigilante Joker is seen on its screen]]]].
135	* The ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' games do this with actual hidden meanings, and so frequently it gets to the point where it's like WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic but with movies instead of religion.
136	** An example of one with a hidden meaning is the homage shot to ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'', in which Snake's [[InvisibilityCloak stealth camo]] is shown glitching out, giving the impression of him materialising out of thin air in the same manner as the time jump effect from the film. WordOfGod explains that this is intended as {{Foreshadowing}} of how Snake's role has been significantly altered in ''2'' from being the main character to being the mentor for the real main character, just like how at the beginning of ''Terminator 2'' we assume that the Terminator is the BigBad just because he'd been that in the first film, when he's really TheHero.
137	** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'', there's an homage shot to ''Film/TheRightStuff'', done entirely in narration. In Strangelove's audio tapes, she describes a scene where NASA is selecting someone for a suicide mission in space, and how no-one volunteered until The Boss raised her hand, "[[LampshadeHanging as if acting out a scene from a movie]]".
138	* In a more obscure gaming homage, the briefing scenes from Microprose's ''Gunship 2000'' helicopter simulator look almost identical to the briefing shots in ''Fire Birds''.
139	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' pays more than a few homages to ''Franchise/StarWars''. Most noticeable are the Strahl/Millenium Falcon taking off from Rabanastre/Mos Eisley, and Gabranth/Vader disembarking his shuttle as the game/movie's Imperial March plays.
140	* ''VideoGame/UltimateMarvelVsCapcom3'' includes a stage based on ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast'', complete with the same poster, but with Capcom characters mixed in. Everyone is listed as either [[KilledOffForReal "slain"]] or [[PutOnABus "apprehended"]], except for Franchise/MegaMan, who is listed as "???" as if to say he's [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 still around]].
141	* ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' contains a scene almost directly lifted from Creator/DavidLynch's ''Film/BlueVelvet''.
142	* The anime preview FMV in ''[[VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory Star Ocean: Second Evolution]]'' has a shot of Dias standing amidst fire lifted straight out of the famous FMV of Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', down to the placement of the flames.
143	* During ''VideoGame/EveOnline's'' crossover event with ''Series/DoctorWho'' in 2022, the vortex to enter crossover sites would see your ship spinning through the vortex and occasionally bouncing off its sides, just as the TARDIS does in the series 5-6 opening titles.
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder:Western Animation]]
147	* Animation copying animation: Several of the shots during the final chase in the first ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode at Camp Wanaweep look exactly like a ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' episode that also featured a villain like that in ''Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon''. Gill swims down through the bubbles in the same pose and as the creature.
148	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' does this all the time, mostly for the sake of parody. The scene where Homer bites into a "Ribwich" for the first time, and his pupils dilate and we have sudden shots of the food travelling down his gullet, is a pitch-perfect recreation of a scene from ''Film/RequiemForADream''.
149	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'':
150	** "Droids In Distress" has Senator Organa kneeling next to R2-D2 to learn about the Ghost crew, paralleling Leia giving the plans to Artoo.
151	** Grand Moff Tarkin's arrival on Lothal parallels Darth Vader's arrival on the Death Star II in the opening of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. And the Imperial March from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' is playing.
152	* ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'':
153	** [[Recap/TangledTheSeriesS3E09BeVeryAfraid "Be Very Afraid"]] has one to VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII, of all things. Corona is being overrun by red rocks that make you see your worst fear, and near the end we get to see what [[ThePollyanna Rapunzel's]] is: [[spoiler: [[EvilFormerFriend Cassandra]]]] destroying Corona forever. And as if the notion of a [[spoiler: former ally who had a FaceHeelTurn after discovering the truth about her "Mother" lashing out against those who stole her perceived birthright and destroying the protagonist's hometown]] wasn't enough of a homage, there's a shot of [[spoiler: Cassandra]] staring at the camera for a few moments before turning away and vanishing into the flames, replicating the end of FFVII's Nibelheim flashback. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cassseph.png See for yourself!]]
154	** [[Recap/TangledTheSeriesS3E10PascalsDragon The episode immediately after that]] homages the "Batwing over the moon" shot from Creator/TimBurton's [[Film/Batman1989 Batman]].
