30	----
31	* ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'':
32	** At the very beginning of ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa'' when the animals leave Madagascar by plane, the ship that the penguins stole in the first movie can be seen parked on the beach.
33	** ''WesternAnimation/Madagascar3EuropesMostWanted'' takes several cues from the series, such as Rico being able to regurgitate ''anything''.
34	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration'': The movie is a very DistantSequel to the franchise's fourth generation, and features a number of background and cameo references to it:
35	** Argyle, a historical researcher, has several artifacts from G4 stored in his house -- or at least replicas or illustrations, given that several are known to be destroyed. Items visible in the background of his and Sunny's house include illustrations of the Harmony Box from Season 4's MythArc, the Memory Stone from the ''Equestria Firls'' special "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship Forgotten Friendship]]", the wizard Starswirl the Bearded, and the main characters' cutie marks; one of Zecora's masks and Grogar's Bewitching Bell are likewise present in physical substance, as is a preserved footprint similar to those of the G4 dragon character Spike.
36	** Sunny's satchel has Twilight's cutie mark on it, and she has pins of Twilight's, Fluttershy's, and Rainbow Dash's cutie marks on its sash.
37	** Phyllis calls Sprout "sugarcube". Applejack often uses that same term to address her friends and loved ones in ''Friendship is Magic''.
38	** During Sprout's song to scare the citizens of Maretime Bay into being paranoid that the pegasi and unicorns are preparing to attack, a set of TV displays is shown broadcasting clips from Generation 1.
39	** When Zipp takes Sunny and Izzy to see the film's ArcSymbol, the abandoned transit station where this is found contains a poster for the Wonderbolts, the flight team Rainbow Dash joined during the Gen 4 series.
40	* Most Creator/{{Pixar}} films use a variation of this: in most of their films, if you look very closely at the backgrounds in some scenes, there will inevitably be an element from another Pixar film hidden somewhere-not just with their past films, but also their ''[[EarlyBirdCameo future]]'' ones as well.
41	* ''Film/BatmanFilmSeries'':
42	** In ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', a scene of Arkham Asylum briefly shows the outfits of the Riddler and Two-Face from ''Film/BatmanForever''.
43	** In ''Film/BatmanReturns'', there's a line of dialogue that refers to Vicki Vale, the {{Love Interest\|s}} from [[Film/Batman1989 the previous film]].
44	* In the first ''[[Film/AVPAlienVsPredator Alien vs. Predator]]'' film, the expedition to Antarctica was financed by the Weyland Corporation and includes Charles Bishop Weyland himself. In ''Film/AliensVsPredatorRequiem'', the Predator's plasma gun is turned over to the obviously very-well connected Ms. Yutani. As every fan of the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' series knows, Weyland-Yutani was the major corporation in the background of the films, at the time of ''Film/{{Alien 3}}'' led by the obviously many time great IdenticalGrandson of Charles Weyland and the model for the Bishop androids (with Lance Henrikson playing all three roles).
45	* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'':
46	** Every movie to date has included someone's remarkable survival and escape from an isolated island being explained as "Sea turtles, mate!" Except that in two of those cases we actually know what happened, while the dog's survival into the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd third movie]] is never explained.
47	** Another one comes in the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest second movie]], when Jack Sparrow says that Will Turner has a "lovely singing voice" because he's a eunuch (he's not). This is a nod to the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl first movie]], which had multiple jokes about Will being a eunuch.
48	** In the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides fourth film]], Barbossa is eating apples by fork and knife aboard the British ship he is captaining. Apples can be seen as his TrademarkFavoriteFood.
49	* ''Franchise/IndianaJones''
50	** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. Indy casually identifies a tomb painting of the Ark of the Covenant, as recovered by Indy in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' -- complete with appropriate musical motif from that movie.
51	-->'''Elsa''': What's this?\
52	'''Indy''': Ark of the Covenant.\
53	'''Elsa''': Are you sure?\
54	'''Indy''': Pretty sure.
55	** ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' is full of them. From ancient artifacts to family photos there are dozens of references to the previous movies and to when they RecycledTheSeries.
56	*** [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment A similar nod happens in ''Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'', where you see the actual Ark, which has been packed up and stored in Area 51.]]
57	* The ''Film/JamesBond'' film ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' contains {{Shout Out}}s and continuity nods to all of the previous Bond films. Q's lab, for example, contains gadgets from a number of previous films, such as the jet pack from ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' and the crocodile sub from ''Film/{{Octopussy}}''.
58	** In addition, when Q gives Bond his new watch, he says, "This will be your twentieth, I believe." ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' was the 20th Bond film.
59	** It also references several things in the ''Bond'' books that didn't make it into movies, such as the scene with M talking to Bond through bulletproof glass.
60	** Ten years later, another MilestoneCelebration, ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', also had this despite the ContinuityReboot years before. To keep it short, Q mentions his department is out of [[Film/GoldenEye exploding pens]], Bond [[Film/LiveAndLetDie escapes large reptiles jumping on them]], and leaves for his Scottish childhood home in a [[CoolCar fully-equipped]] [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Aston Martin DB5]].
61	** In ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' James Bond resigns and is cleaning out his desk. He takes out Honey Ryder's knife and belt from ''Film/DrNo'', Red Grant's garrote wrist watch from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' and the aqua breather he used in ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''. All this while as music from each of the previous movies are played for each item. Perhaps this was a way of establishing that the new 007, George Lazenby was the same Bond of the previous adventures where he was played by Sean Connery.
62	** The title of ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' refers to Bond's family motto, ''Orbis Non Sufficit'', previously mentioned in ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', as Bond points out to Elektra.
63	*** Also, at one point, Bond, masquerading as a Russian physicist, is challenged, in Russian, about his good English. He responds, in reasonably fluent Russian, that he studied in Oxford. Book!Bond did study at Oxford, and graduated with a First in Oriental Languages.
64	* ''Film/KaamelottPremierVolet''. Since this is TheMovie of ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'', there's several:
65	** Dagonet ''still'' [[ForgetfulJones doesn't know which lands of Britain belong to him]], looking dubiously at the people who tell him he owns the Isle of Taneth.
66	** A young member of LaResistance says he wanted to be named Knight Provençal, but that the name was already taken. This was Perceval in Book I, who was unable to remember his own name correctly.
67	** In one episode, Arthur manages to trick Attila into thinking the Burgundians are allied with him by claiming their catapults are positioned to fire over the castle and into the Huns. In the movie it's mentioned that Burgundians are so incompetent at siege warfare that even if they could use their catapults, they're too close to the castle and the projectiles would pass over it.
68	* Jay in ''Film/MenInBlackII'' [[WrittenInAbsence actually explains where his former partner El went before he hooks back up with Kay--apparently, she liked being a morgue worker more than an MIB.]] We also learn that Kay's wife left him, which not only gets her out of the way for Kay to go back to the MIB, but is also a refreshing change from the usual fare of just ignoring that the previous love interest ever existed.
69	* ''Film/{{Serenity}}'' has an extremely subtle continuity nod during Mal's ShirtlessScene, where one can see a small vertical scar on his upper right chest. This is the same scar he picked up in "The Train Job" when Crow threw a knife at him and hit him in that spot. There's also a scar in the center of his chest from the torture device in "War Stories".
70	* In ''Film/Speed2CruiseControl'', a cruise liner crashes into and demolishes an expensive boat belonging to the same guy whose sports car Jack (Creator/KeanuReeves) wrecks in pursuit of the bus in [[Film/{{Speed}} the first movie]]. And Alex commandeers one of the guy's smaller boats to save Annie.
71	* Similar to the Batman example above, the 2007 ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' movie had a scene near the end where Splinter had set up a trophy room. Shredder's helmet and various other artifacts from enemies of the previous three live-action films could be seen on shelves.
72	* Mark from ''Film/TheGamers'' shows up a couple of times in the second movie and makes references to it.
73	* Creator/KevinSmith's movies, particularly those set in ''Film/TheViewAskewniverse'', are full of Continuity Nods, with characters frequently making reference to events, characters, or relatives of characters that have either happened or been alluded to (or will be) in other movies.
74	* ''Film/StarTrek2009'' features a brief reference to Admiral Archer, who keeps beagles, an obvious reference to the star of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' (and his owner, Captain Archer).
75	** Also, one of the members of Kirk's disciplinary board is an Admiral Komack - which was the name of an Admiral in TOS.
76	** A lot of nods in Star Trek: during the Kobayashi Maru test, Kirk is eating an apple nonchalantly. In ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath of Khan]]'', Kirk tells Saavik how he beat the test--while eating an apple. Though according to the DVD commentary on the 2009 film, this parallel was unintentional.
77	** There's a blink-your-ears-and-you'll-miss-it call for Nurse Chapel at one point.
78	** Scotty had a pet tribble, in his ReassignedToAntarctica base.
79	* For the most part, Creator/GeorgeLucas [[CanonDiscontinuity ignores]] the ''Franchise/StarWars'' ExpandedUniverse. But Coruscant, the capital of the Old Republic, was established in ''Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy''. The prequel trilogy continues to use Coruscant.
80	** And it was {{retcon}}ned into the ending of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', when [[NationsOfTheWorldMontage all planets celebrating are shown]] (Naboo is retconned into this too, if you must know). As is Hayden Christensen as the [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks ghost of Anakin]].
81	*** Actually, this scene was changed twice: first for the " [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition Special Edition]]" theatrical re-release, and again for the trilogy DVD release.
82	** In the Special Edition of ''Film/ANewHope'', Dash Rendar's Outrider ship from ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'' can be seen landing in Mos Eisley.
83	* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' films feature several nods to other books by Tolkien (though sometimes only in the EE): the allusions are much more explicit in the books, but in the films they can be easy to miss or obscure. See for instance the trolls (from ''Literature/TheHobbit'') which are glimpsed in ''[=FotR=]'' and Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien (from ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'').
84	* ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}''
85	** In ''Film/RockyII'', Rocky takes Paulie's old job at the meat packing plant. During a montage of him doing grueling, manual work there Rocky playfully hits a hanging side of beef like he did to train for his fight with Apollo in the [[Film/{{Rocky}} first movie]].
86	** ''Film/RockyBalboa'' is full of these. Almost every (surviving) character who appeared in the original film (Little Marie, Duke, Spider Rico, Andy the bartender) returns. In a deleted scene (cut because of disagreements with Carl Weathers), Rocky has a photo of Apollo Creed in his house. It's mentioned in dialogue that Rocky's statue (which was unveiled in ''Film/RockyIII'' and seen in ''Film/RockyV'') was removed from its place at the Philadelphia Museum of Arts. The film opens with the song "Take You Back", which was performed in the original film by Frank Stallone. Finally, the training sequence once again has Rocky run through a Philadelphia park and up the Philadelphia Museum of Arts set of steps.
87	* ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel''. While talking to Buck Murdock on the radio, Ted says "Roger, Murdock". Roger Murdock was the character in ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' played by Kareem Abdul-Jabar.
88	* ''Film/MissionImpossibleIII'' makes use of "The Plot," a music cue by Lalo Schifrin from the original series that is only familiar to fans.
89	* ''Film/{{Predators}}'' had the female lead make a mention of the first ''Film/{{Predator}}'' and about the story of how Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's character, Dutch, managed to defeat a Predator after it slaughtered his entire team.
90	* In the original ''Film/{{Halloween 1978}}'', Laurie mentions having a crush on one of her classmates Ben Tramer. In [[Film/HalloweenII1981 the sequel]], the police accidentally kill a costumed teenager after mistaking him for Michael Myers. Turns out that poor teenager was Ben Tramer.
91	* Creator/QuentinTarantino's films are full of in-universe references. Characters from distinct films can be members of the same family (most famously the Vega brothers, but Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz from ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' is the father of film producer Lee Donowitz from ''Film/TrueRomance''). A particularly obscure example is found with Jules' from ''Film/PulpFiction'', who quotes the same bible verse before killing people as did the Hatori Hanzo in the Japanese TV and film series, ''Shadow Warriors'' (''Kage no Gundan''), which starred Sonny Chiba. Hatori Hanzo, once more played by Chiba, is the sword smith who appears in the ''Film/KillBill'' films, bringing the reference back around.
92	* Several throughout the ''Franchise/{{Robocop}}'' series:
93	** In ''Film/RoboCop2'', the titular character brings a Cobra Assault Cannon (the weapon used by Boddicker and his gang in the first film) to the final showdown with Cain, but it is swiftly rendered useless after the bullets fail to impede the killer cyborg.
94	** In ''Film/RoboCop3'', the "I'd buy that for a dollar!" television host is seen in a brief cameo, while an OCP officer named Cecil (who attempted to stop the officers from destroying Robo in the OCP parking garage during the first film) returns as an officer who walks out on OCP and helps Sergeant Reed during the Splatterpunk attack in Old Detroit.
95	* In ''Film/{{Scream 4}}'', a girl in the beginning gets crushed by a garage door, harkening back to a similar death from the first film.
96	* ''Film/{{Synchronic}}'': During Steve's encounter with the voodoo cult, the staff the priest holds is almost identical with the signature pillars from Film/TheEndless. Both films are directed by Creator/AaronMoorhead and Creator/JustinBenson.
97	* In ''Film/TheGodfather'', Enzo Aguello (a baker from Sicily) helps Michael Corleone when assassins attempt to kill Don Corleone at the hospital he's staying in, by standing guard outside the building and waiting for the police to arrive. He returns in ''Film/TheGodfatherPartIII'' as the man who bakes a cake for Michael when he receives the Order of Saint Sebastian.
98	* Two very different films are established as being in the same 'verse by one of these. In Creator/JohnLandis's 1978's ''Film/AnimalHouse'', the "what happened to...?" epilogue states that Neidermeyer was fragged by his own troops in Vietnam. In the segment of 1983's ''Film/TwilightZoneTheMovie'' that Landis directed, the focus is on a particular group of soldiers, one of whom makes an offhand comment about having "fragged Neidermeyer".
99	* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
100	** ''Film/IronMan2'':
101	*** During the final conversation between Tony and Nick Fury, a monitor displays a reporter doing live coverage of a "Crisis at Culver University." This is a reference to the Hulk's rampage about midway through ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk\|2008}}''. The scene also establishes the relative timeframe of the two movies: [[spoiler:it shows Stark accepting a job as a S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant, in which capacity he appears in the post-credits scene of ''The Incredible Hulk.'']]
102	*** In one scene Director Fury tells Stark that has "bigger problems in the southwest region" than Tony. A nod to Film/{{Thor}}, which is set in New Mexico (a.k.a. the Southwest).
103	*** The Tesseract also shows up in Howard Stark's notes.
104	** ''Film/{{The Avengers\|2012}}'':
105	*** Black Widow mentions to Coulson that Stark doesn't trust her after finding out she's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in ''Film/IronMan2''.
106	*** We get clips from previous films either as FlashBack or as raw footage, especially when it comes to Captain America.
107	*** Pepper Potts' previous meetings with Coulson are referenced.
108	*** Banner mentions nearly destroying Harlem, referencing The Hulk's fight against The Abomination at the end of ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk\|2008}}''.
109	*** Banner also mentions that at one point he [[spoiler:tried to kill himself but the "other guy" spit out the bullet]]. This was shown in the alternative opening to ''The Incredible Hulk''.
110	*** Iron Man refers to the new suit as Mark VII, indicating past armors. He also uses the lasers from ''Film/IronMan2'', and they're still apparently one-offs until he upgrades to the Mark VII suit.
111	*** Practically every plot element of ''Film/{{Thor}}'' was mentioned throughout the movie.
112	*** Tony still doesn't like to be handed things.
113	*** Tony mentions that his father knew Captain America. Who found the Tesseract while searching for the Captain?
114	*** Insulting Thor to his back is still not a good idea.
115	*** Black Widow makes an allusion to Tony's talk with Gen. Ross in ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk\|2008}}''.
116	*** [[WrittenInAbsence It is explained]] that [[Creator/NataliePortman Jane Foster]] was transferred to a distant place to protect her from Loki.
117	*** The gun Coulson uses on Loki was reverse engineered from the Destroyer in ''Film/{{Thor}}''.
118	*** The Hulk can't lift Mjölnir because he isn't worthy.
119	*** Captain America, when first meeting Loki in Germany, notes that the last time he went to that location, he also had to deal with someone who believed he was higher than everyone else, referring to either ComicBook/RedSkull or Hitler.
120	*** When Thor shoots lightning at Tony, his suit absorbs the energy. The Arc Reactor itself was designed by Tony's father Howard after recovering the Tesseract, which is Asgardian in origin, and the lightning generated by Thor being absorbed by the Arc Reactor in Tony's suit seems to be another subtle nod to the connection between the two technologies.
121	*** The Mark VII Iron Man suit's shoulder-mounted micro missiles have the same kind of rocket flare, audio design, and look as the payload of the Jericho Cluster Missile from ''Film/IronMan1''.
122	*** Tony's line about bringing 'the party to you', which Natasha responds to, is a [[BrickJoke hugely delayed]] response to a similar line from Natasha in ''Iron Man 2'', regarding the Hammer drones.
123	*** Loki flat out lampshades it when he traps Thor with an illusion trick.
124	-->'''Loki:''' Are you ever ''not'' going to fall for that?
125	** ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'':
126	*** Steve's new Captain America costume combines the patterns of the "stealth suit" from ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' with the color scheme of his ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' uniform.
127	*** Tony's new Iron Man suit combines the modular design of the Mark 42 from ''Film/IronMan3'' with the red and gold color scheme of his armors in ''Film/{{Iron Man\|1}}'', ''Film/IronMan2'', and ''Film/{{The Avengers\|2012}}''.
128	*** The Hulkbuster armor likewise incorporates the technology of the Mark 42 from ''Film/IronMan3'', flying out of the sky to Tony's location in pieces and assembling around him. The main {{leitmotif}} from that film even plays briefly as he does this.
129	*** Tony is still suffering from the alien-related anxiety and PTSD he displayed in ''Iron Man 3''. This plays a major role in the creation of Ultron and the new Iron Legion in the first place.
130	*** War Machine appears in this film as War Machine, not the America-themed Iron Patriot from ''Iron Man 3''. Clearly all the jokes at his expense in that film convinced him to switch back to the classic look.
131	*** Near the start of the film, Sam Wilson shows up and is stated to still be searching for ComicBook/BuckyBarnes after the events of ''The Winter Soldier''. It's revealed that he's doing this while Steve is otherwise preoccupied with his Avengers commitments.
132	*** The events of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' made Jane Foster and Erik Selvig very sought after by the scientific community: the former [[WrittenInAbsence is absent due to too much work]], and when Thor visits the latter he's driving a luxury car.
133	*** When Wanda uses her mental abilities on the Avengers, Hawkeye is the one to take her down, stating he didn't care for it [[Film/TheAvengers2008 the last time]] someone tried to brainwash him.
134	*** [[spoiler:The importance of the Infinity Stones, first revealed in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', is reiterated here when the Avengers learn of their existence.]]
135	*** [[spoiler:One of the staff aboard Nick Fury's Helicarrier is the [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier S.H.I.E.L.D. technician who refused to launch the Insight carriers]].]]
136	*** Steve tells Bruce that he'd seen Natasha flirt up close (referring to their UndercoverAsLovers scene in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'') and says that it wasn't anything like her interactions with Bruce.
137	--->[beat]\
138	'''Bruce''': Wait, what do you mean "up close"?
139	* In ''WesternAnimation/ChillOutScoobyDoo'' [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Del Chillman]] from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheLochNessMonster'' returns, having given up on Nessie and moved to the Himalayas where he became the mountain's DJ much to Shaggy and Scooby's happy surprise.
140	* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
141	** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the first scene with Erik in the camp is mostly identical to the first scene of ''Film/XMen1'', even down to some of the shots.
142	** ''Film/TheWolverine'':
143	*** While most of the film has Wolverine remembering Jean, the scene where he wakes up has a voiceover involving Kayla Silverfox from ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine''.
144	*** When the ghost of Jean was jealous of Mariko, she reminds Wolverine that all the women he loves die. Silver Fox, his love from ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', also died in that film.
145	*** The post-credits scene where [[spoiler: Magneto and Xavier]] arrive to recruit Logan mirrors their brief encounter from decades earlier in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
146	*** [[spoiler:Wolverine flatlines once again after having surgery done to him]], just like ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', though this time by it's done by himself.
147	*** Wolverine is afraid of flying.
148	*** Also a subtle one to ''X2'', as in the movie William Striker said that the only way to make the otherwise indestructible Adamantium malleable was to superheat it. Guess how Wolverine's claws get cut off.
149	*** Much like Silverfox, Logan's new love interest Mariko also brings up a legend about a "kuzuri", aka the "wolverine".
150	*** ComicBook/{{Storm\|MarvelComics}} can be seen briefly on a photo in a file.
151	* The fact that Dylan fell for the BigBad in ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'' is referenced in ''[[Film/CharliesANgelsFullThrottle Full Throttle]]''.
152	--> '''Alex''': Check it out. Brown shorts, red board, 11 o'clock. What do you think?\
153	'''Dylan''': Yummy!\
154	'''Alex''': That's what I thought. Case closed. Nat, move in. Dylan think's he's hot.\
155	'''Dylan''': What do you mean?\
156	'''Alex''': You always fall for the bad guy.
157	* ''Film/TheHungerGames'':
158	** ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart1'':
159	*** When Snow is giving a speech outlawing anything associated with the Mockingjay, his granddaughter can be seen undoing the Katniss-style hair braid he noted her sporting in ''[[Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire Catching Fire]]''. Creating some FridgeHorror when one remembers that the punishment for any symbol associated with Katniss or the rebellion is death.
160	*** The lethal venom stings from [[Film/TheHungerGames the first film]] are brought up again [[spoiler:as part of the Hijacking brainwash method used on Peeta]].
161	** In ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart2'', [[spoiler:Finnick]]'s death is eerily similar to [[spoiler:Cato]]'s. Up to and including Katniss performing a [[spoiler:MercyKill]].
162	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater'':
163	** During the "Thank Gosh It's Monday" music video created for the Day of Positivity, the spatula that [=SpongeBob=] used in the show's pilot episode can be seen, and the seaweed mustaches from [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie first movie]] can be seen in a framed picture on the wall (though that is a little odd, considering that [[NegativeContinuity the first movie takes place at the end of the show's timeline, while this film is said to be a prequel to the first one]], although the scene does not appear in the movie, solidifying its prequel status).
164	** During the credits, Squidward does the dance from his act in "Culture Shock".
165	** During the part where Plankton attacks the Krusty Krab with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext pickle-firing tank]] causing Patrick to slam into a wall, he mutters "Finland...", which he similarly yelled in "Frankendoodle" when hit with a bowling ball.
166	** Similarly, when Sandy orders from the Krusty Krab, she mentions "Hold the mayo," a reference to "Planet of the Jellyfish" where she mentions her dislike of mayo.
167	** One of Spongebob's ways of stopping Plankton is with the reefblower from season 1.
168	** Several one shot characters, like Flats the Flounder, appear in the background at various times.
169	** Mr. Krabs' superhero form resembles the robot Krabs Plankton built in "Imitation Krabs".
170	** During the rap battle between [[spoiler:Bubbles]] and the seagulls, one of the seagulls uses a curse word, which is censored with a dolphin noise sound effect in a similar fashion to "Sailor Mouth".
171	** The Krusty Krab's drive-thru system seems to have improved from the hole in the wall and tin can phone they had in the Season 8 episode "Drive Thru".
172	** Plankton having trouble comprehending the idea of "teamwork" is similar to his difficulty understanding fun in "F.U.N."
173	* In ''Film/JurassicWorld'', the ''[[UsefulNotes/StockDinosaursTrueDinosaurs Gallimimus]]'' cameo was filmed in the same location as the scene with the same dinosaurs in the original ''Film/JurassicPark''.
174	* ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'':
175	** In the prologue, when Agnarr tells Elsa and Anna about when he went to an enchanted forest, Anna responds, "Wait, what?"
176	** During the charades game, Anna tries to get them to guess "villain":
177	-->'''Olaf''': Hans! ''[Anna gestures to Olaf, indicating he's close.]''
178	-->'''Elsa''': Unredeemable monster!
179	-->'''Kristoff''': Greatest mistake of your life!
180	-->'''Olaf''': Wouldn't even kiss you!
181	** Olaf reads the slips of paper telling him what to act out, and says "This is so much easier now that I can read." This is a reference to him being unable to do so in "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever".
182	** Olaf reconstructs himself into various shapes for Kristoff to guess. Included in the montage is his imitation of the SupermodelStrut Elsa does at the end of "Let It Go."
183	** Anna knocks on Elsa's door with the same rhythm she did as a child in the first movie.
184	** When they meet the Northuldra, Olaf dramatically retells the events of the original movie—complete with General Mattias acting as the AudienceSurrogate.
185	** After "Show Yourself," Elsa is surrounded by water memories, several of which are scenes from the first movie. She has a bit of a giggle at her trademark "Let it Go" pose, and dismissively shatters an image of Hans.
186	** During the group's journey to the Enchanted Forest, they pass by the North Mountain, with Elsa's ice castle still on top of it.
187	** [[spoiler:Elsa is able to remake Olaf, much as she did in the first movie. Before she does, she asks Anna, "Do you want to build a snowman?"]]
188	** In TheStinger, [[spoiler:Olaf retells the events of this film to Marshmallow and the Snowgies, who were shown moving into Elsa's ice castle in Frozen Fever. Marshamallow is even still wearing the crown he picked up in the stinger of the first movie.]]
189	* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld''
190	** A FreezeFrameBonus when the Riders return to Berk shows that one of the statues at the front of the island now has a different head, because Drago's Bewilderbeast destroyed it during the invasion of Berk in the second film.
191	** One of the descriptions Hiccup read of the Night Fury in the first film was "the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself...". In the scene where [[spoiler:the Light Fury is trying to get Toothless to turn invisible]], he summons lightning from the storm clouds around them.
192	** In the second movie, Hiccup irritatedly brings up that Toothless’ saliva ‘doesn’t wash out’ when the latter licks him. Turns out it makes a very effective coloured glue/fireproof coating when mixed with crushed dragon scales for the riders’ armoured flight-suits/Toothless’ new tail.
193	** Astrid once again asks Hiccup an ArmorPiercingQuestion she asked in the first movie; "So what are you gonna do about it?", to which he responds "Probably something stupid."
194	** When Hiccup is putting the finishing touches to Toothless's new tail fin that would allow him to fly without him, Astrid acknowledges that he got rid of the first one he made, only for Hiccup to point out that he did not have a reason for it until now.
195	** While trying to court the Light Fury, Toothless eventually decides to draw for her which gets her attention as he draws her face. He then growls at her when she steps at a line of his drawing. Also, as he draws a very good image of the Light Fury's face, Hiccup comments, "Oh, now you can draw?"
196	** At the end of the movie, as they are [[spoiler:going their separate ways, Hiccup touches Toothless’ snout in the exact same way he did at their first meeting, though this time it plays out backwards.]]
197	** In the epilogue, [[spoiler:Hiccup introduces his and Astrid's two children to Toothless, and they greet him by touching his snout with their hands.]]
198	* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' series:
199	** In ''Animation/MissionIncredibleAdventuresOnTheDragonsTrail'', when Weslie and Wolffy [[spoiler:are trapped under tons of debris after defeating the giant metallic dragon]], Wolffy asks Weslie if he can take a bite out of him since he's traveled a desert and explored the moon, referencing the previous two films in the series (in the second film, an amusement park built over Goat Village uses up enough energy that it dries up the surrounding area and creates a desert that Weslie and Wolffy have to traverse, and in the third film the gang goes to the moon to defeat the Bitter Gourd King).
200	** In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolfDunkForFuture'', Weslie and Wolffy have an exchange that's borrowed from ''Rescue Across Time'', episode 41:
201	--->'''Weslie:''' Wolffy, how long have we known each other for?\
202	'''Wolffy:''' About [[BreakingTheFourthWall 5,000 episodes]].
203	* ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'': A tree house within [[TrappedInAnotherWorld the Jumanji game world]] has "Alan Parrish was here" carved on a beam, referencing the character who was trapped there for 26 years in [[Film/{{Jumanji}} the original film]]. In an homage to Creator/RobinWilliams, Alex outright says that "it's Alan's place; we're just staying here."
204	* ''Film/FinalDestination5'' features nods to previous films in the series, which are kinda weird since [[spoiler:the film is a prequel to all of them]].
205	** The company retreat is organized by [[Film/FinalDestination1 180]] Corporate Consulting.
206	** During the bus ride, Sam glimpses [[Film/FinalDestination2 a truck carrying logs]].
207	** The first film ends with Alex, Clear, and Carter visiting a restaurant in Paris called La Cafe Miro 81. This film reveals that it's a franchise, as Sam works at the American branch, though he is transferring to the Parisian branch.
208	** Olivia has a photo of her in [[Film/FinalDestination3 [=McKinley=] Amusement Park]].
209	** Roy's memorial photo shows him posing near Racecar #6, the one that causes the pile-up in ''Film/FinalDestination4''.
210	* The ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' animated films, ''Mask of Light'', ''Legends of Metru Nui'', ''Web of Shadows'' and ''The Legend Reborn'' contain a few, mostly to outside media like the books, comics or games.
211	** The Turaga reference the Toa's recent victories when the Toa begin squabbling, referring to both their triumph over the Bohrok swarms and the Bohrok-Kal.
212	** Takua brings up the time he flew on a Gukko bird as a second, a nod to the fan-favorite ''[[VideoGame/{{Bionicle}} Mata Nui Online Game]]'''s Gukko flying minigame. This nod meant a lot, as prior to this the Toys/{{Lego}} company didn't even acknowledge the ''MNOG'' as part of the canon story. After the movies, they retroactively accepted the game as partially canon.
213	** A deleted scene had Makuta refer to his previous attempts to terrorize the Matoran using Rahi beasts (showing a stone plate with the carving of a Tarakava, a kind of sea creature) and the Bohrok swarms. It was cut for time but it's on the DVD.
214	** Takua and Jaller bump into some frozen Bohrok, the main type of enemy from the pre-movie stories, when they're lost in the snowfields.
215	** Characters from ''Mask of Light'' show up as non-speaking cameos at the end of the second and third {{prequel}} movies to tie the films together. In ''Legends of Metru Nui'', the scene is in the past and reveals how Jaller received his mask. In ''Web of Shadows'', the ending is set back in the present, in the same spot ''Mask of Light'' had ended.
216	** ''The Legend Reborn'' starts out with the giant robot Mata Nui rising from under the ocean, destroying the island named after him in the process. The island was the franchise's main setting for several years, including the first movie in which the characters began the process to awaken Mata Nui.
217	** The Matoran living inside Mata Nui are briefly seen, designed to look like the previous year's Matoran toys. They have the same sort of glowing orblike eyes as seen in the previous three movies, while the film's new characters have rectangular pixel-like eyes.
218	** Mata Nui compares Ackar's courage to that of a Toa, the heroes of the previous arcs. Later the others refer to Mata Nui as "Toa Mata Nui".
219	** ''TLR'' also makes several nods to the mysterious Great Beings, characters who have been first alluded to in the original comic run and mentioned a number of times in books, but were never brought up in the first three films. They would have been explored in further movies, had the franchise not ended.
220	* In Creator/DingoPictures' ''Lion And The King'', Dundee mentions his Uncle Albert. In ''WesternAnimation/AnimalSoccerWorld'' (a crossover between all of Dingo's animal characters), Albert actually appears as one of the players...and uses [[GenerationXerox exactly the same character model]] as Dundee.
221	* In ''Animation/HappyHeroesTheStones'', an egg belongs to Superman X, but is mistaken for the eyeballs on Series/{{Ultraman}}'s costume by Happy S. The preceding ''Happy Heroes'' film had a joke about Ultraman and eggs as well; the hall of superhero objects has a salted egg that belonged to him.
222	* ''Film/DoctorSeries'':
223	** In ''Film/DoctorInDistress1963'', Dr. Sparrow makes two to ''Film/DoctorInTheHouse1954'':
224	*** When he reassures Stuart not to let Sir Lancelot worry him too much, he recalls how Sir Lancelot threw the whole book at him, reminiscing on all the trouble he got into as a medical student.
225	*** When he tells the medical students that he'll be working with them until Sir Lancelot recovers, he tells one that he wants no questions about the bleeding time from him, referencing his own confusion on the topic.
226	** ''Film/DoctorInClover'': Sir Lancelot's nickname, "Porker", revealed in ''Doctor in Distress'', is brought up again.
227	* ''Series/OnTheBuses'' films:
228	** During the opening credits of ''Film/MutinyOnTheBuses'', Blakey waits for Stan next to a puddle just like he did in ''Film/OnTheBuses''. Remembering how he got splashed last time, Blakey jumps back and avoids it. However, while he is celebrating this, another car speeds through and soaks him.
229	** In ''Film/HolidayOnTheBuses'', Jack once more brings up something he learned doing his National Service. In ''Holiday'', it's that he studied tides, while in the previous film, ''Mutiny'', it was that he knew how to wire radios.
230	* ''Film/{{Godmothered}}'': In a news broadcast, Barb says "Coming up, Mass General Neurosurgery Department gets a new head, and you won't believe his name: Ryan Brain." Later, Eleanor says "Go Brains!" while attempting to cheer for the Boston Bruins.
