* In HaloReach, the ending is a very touching remake of the opening scene of HaloCombatEvolved. The graphics are the only real change, but longtime fans both expecting it and not say that the scene brings back memories of HaloCombatEvolved.

**''PowerRangersJungleFury'' and ''PowerRangersMysticForce'' had some major deviations from the source material, and yet still needed to do some scenes that were exactly like the sentai to fit that portion of the plot - mostly villain scenes, who had some storylines that really were word-for-word adaptations of their counterparts. It is nearly impossible to tell which scenes in Dai Shi's temple are from ''Jungle Fury'' and which are from ''Gekiranger,'' and the same with the Underworld/Infershia. Some of it is for actor purposes (Dai Shi's actor doesn't look like Rio's at all, but Dai Shi is often doing what Rio did) and some of it is for censorship purposes (Morticon and Branken both execute a {{Mook}} who failed, but Morticon does it with one slash where Branken stabs him on the ground and raises him into the air like a freaking meatball.) This may mean extensive recreations of sets, or it may simply mean the PR villains are green-screened into villains' lair shots.

**Jonathan Tzachor had free rein with both Wild Force and Samurai, and handles it in a pretty sentai purist-y way. And there's nothing wrong with that when the parent sentai is something like the awesome ''Shinkenger.'' However, sometimes the sentai isn't that great (see Wild Force again - ''everything'' not Master Org-related, including all the parts that make it one of the least popular ''PowerRangers'' incarnations ever - are from ''Gaoranger.'') and some fans like some of ''PowerRangers''' unique habits, so [[YourMileageMayVary your mileage may definitely vary]] - getting a faithful-but-for-inevitable-NeverSayDie-moments dub of a series like Shinkenger is definitely a good thing, but it also closes the door on anything like Space, Lost Galaxy, or RPM happening again in the near future.

The only significant difference is the pace; the American version features more atmosphere shots, and stretches scenes out more than the original did, and adds a single action scene.

* ''Let Me In'', HammerHorror's [[SettingUpdate Americanized]] version of ''LetTheRightOneIn'' is virtually identical to the original. The only differences aside from cosmetic changes are actually giving a date, an InMediasRes prologue for about a minute, and removing a scene where the protagonist visits his father's homosexual lover (and removing most of the rest of the overtones). Because of this, it's surprisingly good.

* In 1967, Warner Bros., having re-acquired all the black-and-white Looney Tunes that were distributed by Sunset Films (later Guild Films), had 75 of those cartoons sent to Korea to be redrawn and embellished in color. It was slipshod to say the least; sound synchronisation faltered at times, objects were off-color, the trace jobs were sloppy (it was done on six-field cels as opposed to the normal 10-fields), and some animation was eliminated altogether.
* Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera's 1955 MGM short "Good Will To Men" was a remake of the studio's 1939 cartoon "Peace On Earth." Both films received Oscar nominations.

** The problem isn't really a shot-for-shot remake, but it's the fact that because of ValuesDissonance between the U.S. and Japan, ''PowerRangers'' always has to go LighterAndSofter compared to ''SuperSentai.'' The problem isn't that it's a direct remake, but that it's a watered-down and somewhat weak remake. That being said, ''Power Rangers'' is still more successful when it strikes out on its own and writes its own stories (such as ''In Space,'' ''Lost Galaxy,'' and especially ''RPM.'')

* Though ''PowerRangers'' deviates from ''SuperSentai'' most of the time, there are some seasons that are close to the source material. However, ''PowerRangersWildForce'' was criticized for being almost EXACTLY like ''HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger'', with many episodes being shot for shot remakes, the only changes being the main BigBad, and the two crossovers that occurred that season. ''PowerRangersSamurai'', the Western adaptation of ''SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', appears to be heading in this direction as well.
