27* In her ''Film/RazorBladeSmile'' review (already bedecked with one or two shout outs to [[TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade another World of Darkness game]]), she critiques how the script uses its master hacker to ''also'' deliver occult exposition, as the two fields aren't often linked.

31** ''Franchise/StarWars'' (it has "Force ghosts" in it)
32** ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' (the characters are basically Kano, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade, although she also makes a "Toasty!" reference when the villain is set ablaze)
33** ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'' (the villain's right-hand man is tortured in a similar way to Starscream in the animated film)
34** WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment (the villain's right-hand man commits his evil plan ForScience, like Dr. Insano)
