--->'''John Smith:''' How many? Ok... I'll go first, then. I don't keep exact count, but I'd say, uh, high 50s, low 60s. I mean, I know I've been around the block an all, but...\\

* Probably the reason why ''Film/TheMiracleOfMorgansCreek'' had so much trouble with UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode is because the plot is basically a satire on the Nativity story.

** The depiction of Godzilla's Atomic Breath attack, particularly the charging sequence: in addition to Godzilla's spines glowing blue, they also visibly protrude from his back. Godzilla has been described as essentially having a nuclear reactor for a heart, making the appearance of his spines jutting out reminiscent of ''control rods being pulled out of a nuclear reactor''.
** The destruction of Ginza concludes with Godzilla firing his Atomic Breath at a tank battalion, creating a massive nuclear explosion on impact. The enormous explosion, the city-flattening shockwave and subsequent vacuum, the resultant mushroom cloud, and the pitch-black ash-mixed rain that followed are all evocative of the destruction following the UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki.

** ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne'' has its depiction of Godzilla's Atomic Breath attack, particularly the charging sequence: in addition to Godzilla's spines glowing blue, they also visibly protrude from his back. Godzilla has been described as essentially having a nuclear reactor for a heart, making the appearance of his spines jutting out reminiscent of ''control rods being pulled out of a nuclear reactor''.

** The fights ends with [[spoiler:John impaling Bennett on a long hard steam pipe.]]

* Joseph Losey's ''Film/TheAssassinationOfTrotsky'' has a long and extremely graphic bullfight sequence about halfway through the movie, witnessed by the character who [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment ultimately assassinates Trotsky]]. Quite possibly the most unsubtle (and needlessly grotesque) bit of foreshadowing in cinema history.

* In ''Film/{{Transformers}}'', Frenzy spread-eagling himself over a computer terminal he'd plugged into, twitching and yelping.

* In ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} New Moon]]'', one of the wolf pack's wives gets her face nearly clawed off because she made her wolfman angry. But she forgives him, and acts like it never happened, because that's what good women do. Implications abound whether or not this is meant to be taken literally (and with Creator/StephenieMeyer's writing, who can say?)

* ''{{Film/Bit}}'': Duke's ideology bears a strong resemblance to some of the more extreme feminist views that largely flourished in TheSeventies (e.g. [[LadyLand living entirely separate from men]], or [[PersecutionFlip making them into the oppressed group]]). The director has said he drew on two of these, lesbian separatism and the SCUM Manifesto, as inspiration. Laurel on the other hand, seems to represent more moderate, third wave views that reject this (as she's transgender, something these movements accepted more than second wavers, that can be symbolic as well, but Duke herself is completely accepting of her). That said, the film isn't wholly unsympathetic with [[WellIntentionedExtremist why some women might go that far]] as a result of mistreatment, and Duke is consequently revealed as being a rape survivor who had been a SexSlave for many years.

* In ''Film/GirlWithAPearlEarring'' the scene where Vermeer pierces Griet's ear for her as well as touching her lips is symbolic of her losing her virginity as well as the scene where he sees her hair (it's played like he saw her naked).

* In ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} New Moon]]'', one of the wolf pack's wives gets her face nearly clawed off because she made her wolfman angry. But she forgives him, and acts like it never happened, because that's what good women do. UnfortunateImplications abound whether or not this is meant to be taken literally (and with Creator/StephenieMeyer's writing, who can say?)

** ''Film/TheLastJedi'': The scene where Luke walks in on [[spoiler: Kylo Ren and Rey holding hands via their [[PsychicLink Force Bond]]]] plays out ''very'' similarly to InterruptedIntimacy. Creator/RianJohnson even [[http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/star-wars/news/a852380/last-jedi-rian-johnson-rey-kylo-ren-hand-touching-star-wars-sex-scene/ compared]] it to a sex scene. However, when combined with the above entry regarding the previous film, it raises some UnfortunateImplications.

** ''Film/RebirthOfMothra'': Mothra's roar and ''sound'' when she's about summon her eggs with her power reminds you with a painful sound when woman about giving a birth.

** Monterey Jack's well-known cheese addition is treated much more like a drug problem. In one scene, a bunch of animated mice are shown eating cheese in what appears to be the rodent equivalent of a crackhouse or opium den.
** [[FormerChildStar Sweet Pete]]'s backstory (the former ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', who was let go after growing out of the role, unable to find work in Hollywood and eventually had several run-ins with the law) is eerily similar to that of Peter Pan's first voice actor, Bobby Driscoll.

** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Bobby Drake "comes out" with his mutant powers to his parents, who respond, [[HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster "Have you tried ''not'' being a mutant?"]] Director Creator/BryanSinger and actor Creator/IanMcKellen are queer, and were asked for assistance in writing this scene, basing it on a "coming out" conversation.

* ''Film/Annihilation2018'': [[spoiler:When Lena runs for the door of the lighthouse, the way that the humanoid presses itself against her body from behind]] is distrubingly reminiscent of sexual assault.
* ''Film/Aquaman2018'': Arthur's mother is Atlantean (who look like white humans), and his father is Maori. It's probably not just a coincidence that [[FantasticRacism the prejudice toward]] [[MalignedMixedMarriage their relationship]] (and him, as a "half breed") mirrors real dislike of interracial relationships or people born from them.

* In the 1956 movie ''Film/BabyDoll'', Silva Vacarro (Creator/EliWallach in his film debut) sneaks into the house, finds a rocking horse in the nursery and raucously straddles it and hits it with his riding crop while "Shame, Shame, Shame" plays.

-->'''Creator/RhysIfans''': So in a sense, it's almost like what crystal meth would do to an addict, where you feel all powerful and almost a sense of hubris that you can do anything, and that for Connors becomes addictive. That's why he returns to being the Lizard, and guys who are on powerful drugs want everyone else to feel the same, regardless of its social benefits. They want everyone to feel that great, because they feel great.
* ''Film/Annihilation2018:'' [[spoiler:When Lena runs for the door of the lighthouse, the way that the humanoid presses itself against her body from behind]] is distrubingly reminiscent of sexual assault.

* ''Film/Annihilation2018'': [[spoiler:When Lena runs for the door of the lighthouse, the way that the humanoid presses itself against her body from behind]] is distrubingly reminiscent of sexual assault.

* From ''Film/{{Daredevil}}''. The fight between Elektra and Bullseye was shortened due to the fact Bullseye was assaulting a woman and sexualizing violence. The end of the fight evokes a different feeling than what Bullseye intended. He grabs Elektra, keeps her close to his face as he [[ForcefulKiss attempts to kiss her]]. He manages to [[TakeThatKiss bite down on her lower lip and kiss her]] [[spoiler:while gutting her]], then viciously throws her away. Given how [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty he finds her attractive and wanted to kiss her]] while mocking [[KissDiss her moving her face away]] and how physically close he was [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace despite how much she didn't want it]] come across less like [[spoiler:the murder it was]] and more like Bullseye was out to rape Elektra. At the end, Elektra is shown crawling on all fours to Matt, gasping for air, near tears and asking for help, akin to a rape victim. Considering Bullseye is a sadistic psychopath, the idea he would rape Elektra if given the chance isn't far off.

*** Also in that film, given it's about New York suffering massive damage from an unexpected attack, there are clear parallels with 9/11, specially the post-battle reports. There is also a building collapsing like the Twin Towers after a Leviathan goes through it, and a scene set inside an office building where the people panic seeing a Leviathan - which ''is'' an aircraft - approaching the window (though the scene features the relief of the Hulk racing through the cubicles to the rescue).

*** The ''Eiko Maru'' blowing up in the beginning is a direct reference to the nuclear incident that occurred earlier in the year, when the US [[AC:Castle Bravo]] test detonated a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific and the ''Lucky Dragon 5'' fishing boat got caught in the radiation burst by ''accident''.
