* ''Film/AVPAlienVsPredator''.
* ''Film/SadakoVsKayako''.
* The 2005 animated film ''WesternAnimation/TheBatmanVsDracula''.
* Too many ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' movie crossovers to list as many of his adversaries (including Film/KingKong and Mothra) had starred in their own films previously. He even had a smackdown with his own the American Godzilla (from [[Film/{{Godzilla 1998}} the 1998 film]]) in ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars.''
* There is an old film, ''Hercules, Samson and Ulysses'' which features the two strong men of the bronze age [[CoolVsAwesome coming to blows.]] It's also SoBadItsGood.
* This was the entire premise of ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' -- [[Comicbook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen graphic novels]] and movie both.
* ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', which in addition to the obvious crossover in the title, also features a major appearance from Comicbook/WonderWoman, and cameos from Comicbook/{{Cyborg}} and Comicbook/TheFlash.
* Creator/DannyTrejo has [[WordOfSaintPaul stated]] that the Machete Cortez in ''Film/{{Machete}}'' is what the Machete Cortez from ''Film/SpyKids'' does when he's not taking care of the kids. As Creator/RobertRodriguez intended to make a ''Machete'' movie years before [[DevelopmentHell he was able to,]] he inserted a more family-friendly version of the same character into Spy Kids in the meantime, so this is technically canonical.
* The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films, starting in 2008, built up a series of increasingly obvious crossovers (using the same actors in almost all cases):
** TheStinger in ''Film/IronMan2'' shows a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent finding Film/{{Thor}}'s hammer
** ''Film/IronMan2'' includes news footage of events from ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk''.
** Tony Stark appears in TheStinger in ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' (the 2008 one) to comment on those events.
** Captain America's shield appears in three separate movies:
*** In an alternate opening sequence to ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' (see [[http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/captain-america-officially-found-in-the-incredible-hulk/ here]]).
*** It can be seen on the table behind Tony Stark in ''Film/IronMan1'' ([[http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/captain-americas-shield-found-in-iron-man/ screen cap here]]).
*** It plays a much bigger role in ''Film/IronMan2''.
** ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} director ComicBook/NickFury and Agent Coulson play roles in several films:
*** Agent Coulson is a minor character in ''Film/IronMan'', and Nick Fury has a cameo, where he name-drops "The Avengers Initiative", in TheStinger.
*** Both play more significant roles in ''Iron Man 2'', where Fury reveals Howard Stark's S.H.I.E.L.D. connection and Coulson gives Tony Stark Captain America's shield.
*** Black Widow also plays a key role in ''Iron Man 2.''
*** It is Coulson that finds Mjolnir at the end of ''Iron Man 2'', and contacts Fury about it.
*** Coulson plays a major role in ''Thor'', and Nick Fury has a brief cameo.
*** Nick Fury plays a minor role in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', where he greets a newly-awakened Steve Rogers and invites him to join the Avengers.
** By the time they got to ''Thor'' and ''Captain America'', the crossovers were pretty blatant, as the ''Avengers'' movie was starting production and public knowledge:
*** S.H.I.E.L.D. plays a major role in both films, and is shown to be obviously "collecting" superhero-related artifacts and information.
*** Tony Stark's father is a major character in ''Captain America'' and gets a name-drop in ''Thor''.
** And all of the crossovers up to that point lead to the feature-length [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers movie]] (though they presumably will not stop there).
** [[spoiler:The Collector]] from ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' debuts in ''[[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld Thor: The Dark World]]''.
** Both Fury and Black Widow are major characters in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', with Widow even acting as the {{Deuteragonist}}.
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' features all of the cinematic Avengers except Thor and the Hulk, as well as Comicbook/BlackPanther, Comicbook/AntMan, Comicbook/SpiderMan, and even General Ross from ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk''.
** Offsetting the above, Thor's next movie after ''Civil War'', ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', has the Hulk/Bruce Banner as a main character next to Thor himself, and also features a brief appearance from Comicbook/DoctorStrange near the beginning.
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' contains almost all the major character in the MCU.
* MonsterMash films including:
** ''Film/FrankensteinMeetsTheWolfMan'': This was actually the ''very first'' occasion that characters from two unrelated films had met, thereby retroactively creating an extended universe in which ''Film/Frankenstein1931'', ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'', ''Film/SonOfFrankenstein'', ''Film/TheGhostOfFrankenstein'' and ''Film/TheWolfMan1941'' all existed in the same continuity. The next three films listed below continued this.
** ''Film/HouseOfFrankenstein'': Dracula's appearance meant the three previous Universal films with that character: ''Film/Dracula1931'', ''Film/DraculasDaughter'' and ''Film/SonOfDracula'' also took place in the same universe as the ''Frankenstein'' and ''Wolf Man'' films.
** ''Film/HouseOfDracula''
** ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein''
** ''Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man''
** ''Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde''
** ''Abbott and Costello Meet The Mummy''
** ''Film/TheMonsterSquad''
** ''Film/FreddyVsJason''
* The forthcoming ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' animated film ''Scoob'' (May, 2020) will incorporate characters from the Creator/HannaBarbera universe to assist the Scooby-Doo gang in stopping the plans of [[HarmlessVillain Dick]] [[DastardlyWhiplash Dastardly]].
* Film/TheViewAskewniverse movies are all connected, mostly by Jay and Silent Bob appearing in every movie. Aside from that, there are numerous events, elements, and secondary characters that intertwine throughout all six films. It also helps that the movies take place in the [[UsefulNotes/NewJersey same state.]] Jay and Bob also pop up in ''Film/Scream3''.
* Possibly the largest-scale example of this was when Creator/{{Disney}}, Creator/WarnerBros, and Turner Entertainment teamed up for the 1988 hit movie ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.
* Disney did it again with ''Disney/WreckItRalph''. Although all the characters from existing videogames usually appear for a short period of time, it still counts.
* WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob reviewed two crossover films that matched an Old West gunslinger with a classic horror character: ''Billy The Kid Vs. Dracula'' and ''Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter.''
* Film/ComeAway does this for Literature/AliceInWonderland and Literature/PeterPan.
