13* ''Series/GetSmart''
14** The episode "The Impossible Mission" opens with a parody of the mission briefing scene, with the recorded message from the Chief telling Max that if he doesn't accept the mission he'll be fired, and the [[ThisPageWillSelfDestruct self-destruct]] blowing up everything ''except'' the tape.
15** In "Pheasant Under Glass", Max has to change his face via MagicPlasticSurgery. One of the attempts turns him into Martin Landau (played by the actor with a dubbed Creator/DonAdams voice). The Chief tells him to change it again, despite being told it's "the perfect face for a spy".

21* The last boss battle in ''VideoGame/ChaseTheExpress'' is blatantly ripped off from the original 1996 film; a TraintopBattle where the player character fights TheMole on the front of a high-speed bullet train, with the villain on a helicopter while the hero's on foot. The subsequent explosion that sends the player clinging on the train and flying helicopter wreckage missing him by an inch is another homage to the film.
