* ''E.T: the Extra-Terrestial'': Possibly a coincidence, but in the first episode of E.T., Joz brings back her "69" joke. At first, this just seems like a CallBack to ''Jumanji,'' but it could also be ForeShadowing to the Bonus Scene at the end, [[spoiler: which is based on a Franchise/DoctorWho [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E2DayOfTheMoon episode]] set in 1969.]]
** [[spoiler: [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E2DayOfTheMoon Doctor Who: Day Of The Moon]]]] is actually a very good choice as a contrast to E.T. [[spoiler: Both feature aliens with PsychicPowers accessed through their fingers, but whereas the latter has a group of children hiding an alien from their mother and the goverment, the former has a married couple working with the goverment to save a young girl (eventually revealed to be their daughter) who has been kidnapped by the aliens.]]

* ''Memento'': FridgeBrilliance ''and'' FridgeHorror. Aaron is introduced watching ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' in a dark home movie theatre. Harmless enough, right? [[spoiler: This was almost certainly arranged by his caretakers. The darkness would help to hide the fact that he's not a little boy anymore, and ''Looney Tunes'' is old enough that he wouldn't notice any anachronisms giving away how much time has passed.]]

* As Kara pointed out at the end of ''Galaxy Quest'', Arthur accusing Sir Alexander of being behind Guy's murder wouldn't hold up due to the DNA evidence. However, that suggests one of two potential outcomes:
** The cops ''already'' looked into that, but Arthur used his connections to get it dismissed in order to throw Sir Alexander under the bus.
** The cops ''hadn't'' looked into that yet, meaning once they ''do'', and realize he ''was'' innocent, then the massacre that occurred at Spirit Gum Theater will only put the police department into ''further'' hot water, and most likely wind up causing ''Arthur'' to get sent to prison due to providing a false testimony.

* ''The Wizard of Oz'': At the end, Dorothy sacrifices her dream and wakes up, hoping that a DreamApocalypse will be less painful than a fiery one. However, if Oz was actually a real DreamWorld -- as the other players insist -- then Dorothy's sacrifice may not have had any positive effect for anyone but her and her closest friends and family.

* ''Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'': Having UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte say that he can't stand UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini is already quite a TakeThat towards the latter, but it gets even better when you consider that Mussolini had a great admiration for Napoleon in RealLife. He's basically being dissed by his idol.

* ''Halloween II'': Our protagonists assume that the undead versions of Frank Simms and Lynda Van Der Klok are just evil spirits trying to trick them, but the story doesn't really give us any proof that it's not actually them, having been subjected to TheCorruption.

--> '''Paulo Quiros:''' Jon's assumption that the aliens wanted to kill him and glass the Earth was wrong. They wanted a royal family member to add legitimacy. E.T.'s shoot first ask questions later strategy was real cause of the moon's demise.

* ''Labyrinth'': The plot of this campaign is that Sarah finds herself in an established story, takes the role of the lead character and alters the plot based on her actions. [[MetaFiction So... exactly the same thing Jocelyn does by playing the campaign as Sarah.]]

!!Fridge Horror

* ''Labyrinth'': Like in the film, Sarah saves Toby, defeats Jareth and returns to her own world. Unlike the film, however, it isn't quite made clear if her friends survived.
* ''The Wizard of Oz'': At the end, Dorothy sacrifices her dream and wakes up, hoping that a DreamApocalypse will be less painful than a fiery one. However, if Oz was actually a real DreamWorld -- as the other players insist -- then Dorothy's sacrifice may not have had any positive effect for anyone but her and her closest friends and family.
