* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': In "[[Recap/CSINYS03E17 The Ride-In]]," a killer impersonates a detective sent to extradite a prisoner from New Orleans to NYC. When the real detective shows up the next day, the man has already been released; unfortunately for him, the person who showed up was a former partner of his out for revenge for being cheated in a previous scam they'd worked together and shoots him when he can't pay up.

* Sort of happens in ''Film/LastActionHero''. The fictional villain "The Ripper" shows up to a movie premiere (of a later movie in the same series) and is briefly interviewed by a reporter, who thinks it's Tom Noonan (the real-life actor) dressed up as the villain. Then, the real Tom Noonan appears, dressed as himself, confusing the heck out of the reporter.

* Multiple people in ''Film/TheFifthElement'' try to check in with Korben Dallas' identity. It becomes something of a RunningGag.
** Actually, Cornelius does it smartly. He creates a multipass in the name of Korben ''David'' Dallas for his assistant David. The spaceport people have no idea what Dallas looks like or what his full name is. Thus, David can still respond to his given name and not look out of place.
** In a blink and you'll miss it, the shape-changing Mangalore boss tries to use the face of Dallas's neighbor, who had been picked up by the police when they mistook him for Dallas. It doesn't end well for him. We can also thank Cornelius for that, as he was the one who switched the door tags before the police came to arrest Dallas.

* ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns:'' A detective shows up at a crime scene and talks to Police Chief Yindel. Then he walks away. Then he shows up, coming from the other direction. Yindel points at the departing cop and goes "stop that man!". The next panel is him leaping onto the Batcycle.

* In ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "Synchrony", Mulder is helping a scientist whose much older future self has travelled back in time to prevent his past self from causing the terrible future he came from (though the scientist is understandably very sceptical about the whole story). When Mulder and the scientist goes to investigate the laboratory the scientist works at, the scientist checks in at security via a hand-print scanner, and the guard tells him that he has already logged in some time ago. The scientist is of course confused by this, but Mulder quickly puts two and two together and realizes the man's future self is already in the building.
