61* ''Dirty Duck'' is an [[UndergroundComics underground comic strip]] by Bobby London that ran in ''Film/NationalLampoon'' and ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}''.

One's about a robot travelling around the universe and learning what it is to be human, one's about a ditzy teacher, one's a web reviewer with a talking plant, one's a platforming game that eventually turned into ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'', one's about a knight and a prince who fall in love, one's a DisguisedHorrorStory psychological horror-based visual novel, and one's an anime about {{Magical Girl}}s. Guess which one's which.

71* There's a Platform/NintendoDS homebrew fangame simply called ''[[https://gamebrew.org/wiki/Touhou_DS Touhou DS]]'' to go along with [[{{VideoGame/DoubleSpoilerTouhouBunkachou}} Touhou Double Spoiler]]. It's easy to be confused if you want to type "DS" to simplify the searches.

121* ''Epic'' is a [[WesternAnimation/Epic1984 1984 Australian animated film]], a [[WesternAnimation/Epic2013 2013 3D animated film]], a tabletop game in the ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' universe, a [[TabletopGame/EpicCardGame strategy card game]], a Music/FaithNoMore song, an Music/RKelly album, a book in ''Literature/TheAvatarChronicles'', a space flight sim by Digital Image Design, and a [[Creator/EpicGames game developer/publisher]].
122* ''[[Film/EscapeRoom2019 Escape Room]]'' is a 2019 movie about people having to escape a deadly escape room game. However, [[Film/EscapeRoom2017 another movie with the same title]] came out two years prior, as they both have very similar concepts. And to make things even more confusing? There was ''another'' [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5748392/ 2017 movie]] with the same title released about two months prior to the other 2017 movie.
123* Before Creator/AmbrosiaSoftware's ''VideoGame/EscapeVelocity'', there was a four-player ''VideoGame/{{Asteroids}}''-like game for Windows 3.1 called ''Escape Velocity''. Also the title of a Chemical Brothers song, the debut album of synthwave artist Dynatron, and a science fiction novel by Christopher Stasheff.
124* The webtoon ''WebAnimation/EskimoBob'' shares its name with a ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' episode that was renamed "Bob of the North" in North America.
125* ''Eternal Love'': An alternate English title of ''Series/TenMilesOfPeachBlossoms'', or the name of [[Series/TheEternalLove a completely different Chinese drama]] which also aired in 2017?
126* "[=EternuS=]" is a trance song by Sanxion7 featured in the ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' series. ''Aeternus'' is the second album of the aforementioned Dynatron.
127* ''Series/{{Euphoria}}'' is a 2019 American TeenDrama based on an Israeli series by the same name. It should NOT be confused with the extremely debauched VisualNovel and {{Hentai}} ''Euphoria''.
128* ''Evening's Empire'' is a 1991 ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic strip which was famously unfinished until released in 1993 as a one shot comic book. It's also the title of a 2002 science fiction novel by David Herter and a 2011 "history of the night" by Craig Koslofsky. ''Evening's Empire'''s''''' is a 2013 science fiction novel by [=Paul MacAuley=]. They all appear to be TitledAfterTheSong "Mr Tambourine Man" by Music/BobDylan ("Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand").
129* "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" is a 1960 song by Connie Francis and a 2003 song by Music/ArethaFranklin.

''VideoGame/{{Exile}}'', the mid-90s Platform/{{Mac}} {{RPG}}s remade into ''VideoGame/{{Avernum}}''. ''Exile'', the ActionRPG series by Creator/TelenetJapan. ''Exile'', the second book in Literature/TheDarkElfTrilogy. ''Exile'', the fourth book in Literature/LegacyOfTheForce. ''Exile'', the subtitle of the third ''[[VideoGame/MystIIIExile Myst]]'' game.
134* ''The Exiled Prince'' is the name of both a DLC for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' and the second installment of the ''VideoGame/DarkParables'' series of hidden object games. Even more coincidentally, they were released within ten days of one another in 2011 - the latter on February 28th, and the former on March 8th.
135* There's two feature movies named ''Film/TheExpendables'': The 2010 action star-studded flick and the 1989 Cirio Santiago movie set in Vietnam. Coincidentally both feature the main subject of elite mercenary teams taking down enemy leaders, but very different in plot. There's also a MadeForTVMovie called ''The Expendables'' which predates the 2010 one, a variant on ''Film/TheDirtyDozen'' involving a group of female convicts.
136* ''Extraction'' is the title of two different action films. The one released in 2015 is a spy thriller starring Creator/BruceWillis and Creator/KellanLutz. [[Film/{{Extraction}} The one released in 2020]] casts Creator/ChrisHemsworth as a mercenary tasked with rescuing a drug lord's son.
137* There are three feature movies named ''[An] Eye for an Eye'': the [[Film/EyeForAnEye 1996 thriller]] starring Creator/SallyField, Creator/EdHarris, and Creator/KieferSutherland; the 1981 crime action film with Creator/ChuckNorris and Creator/ChristopherLee; and the 1966 western with Creator/RobertLansing and Creator/PatrickWayne.
138* ''Eye in the Sky'': Music/TheAlanParsonsProject song that is featured in the album of the same name, the {{trance}} song by Nostrum, Mars & Mystre, or the [[Film/EyeInTheSky 2016 film]]?

143* ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' is a comic book about storybook characters. ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' is a video game (series) about God knows what. Oh, and Aesop's Fables. ''Fable'' is also a 1996 PointAndClick adventure game, completely unrelated to any of the above works, best known for its incredibly disappointing GainaxEnding. Also a 1996 {{trance}} single by Robert Miles of "Children" fame.
144* ''Film/FaceOff'' is unrelated to the series ''[[Series/FaceOff Face Off.]]''

Dick, [[Film/FairGame a 1986 Australian action film]], a novel by Paula Gosling that served as the basis for the film ''Film/{{Cobra}}'', a 1995 film adaptation of said book, a 2005 romantic comedy film, and a book and a movie about the outed CIA agent Valerie Plame.
147* The long-running punk band Music/{{The Fall|Band}} has nothing to do with [[Film/TheFall the adventure-fantasy film]] or [[Series/TheFall2013 the British crime drama]].
148* ''Fallen Angel'' is a [[Creator/AlexandreCabanel Cabanel]] [[Art/TheFallenAngel painting]], [[Film/FallenAngel1945 1945 movie]], a made-for-tv ''Series/HallmarkHallOfFame'' movie staring Creator/GarySinise and Creator/JoelyRichardson, a [[Comicbook/FallenAngel2003 comic]] by Creator/PeterDavid, a [[Roleplay/FallenAngelRP roleplay]], a ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'' episode, a ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'' episode, a ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' episode, a ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode, and a game in the ''VideoGame/{{Sacred}}'' series.

149* "Fame" was either David Bowie's ode to the downside of stardom (co-written by John Lennon) or Irene Cara's unapologetic celebration of it and the title tune of the 1980 film of the same name.
150* ''Literature/AFamilyAffair'' is a Nero Wolfe mystery, a [[AFamilyAffair trope on this site]] about adultery, and episodes of ''Series/CriminalMinds'', ''Series/{{Xena}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''. ''Series/FamilyAffair'' is a 1960's domestic comedy about three orphans living with their bachelor uncle and episode of ''Series/{{CSI}}''.
151* ''Family Secrets'' is either a primetime [[VerySpecialEpisode very special]] series on ABC, a short-lived daytime game show on NBC, a 1984 tv-movie starring Creator/MaureenStapleton, Creator/StefaniePowers and Creator/MelissaGilbert, or an episode of ''Series/CSICyber''.
152* ''Fantastic Force'' is a 90's ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' spinoff and 2009 miniseries, and an animated movie known as ''Los ilusionautas'', ''The Illusionauts'', or ''Fantastic 4orce''.
153* ''[[Fanfic/RokassFallingStars Falling Stars]]'', ''TabletopGame/{{Battletech}}[=/=]WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' crossover, or ''Fanfic/FallingStars'', ''Manga/LuckyStar[=/=]VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' crossover?
154* ''Fantasy Defense'' is a tower defense game by SN Mobile Technology, a tower defense game by UA Games, a tower defense game by app4yous, and a card game by Mandoo Games.
155* ''Series/FantasyIsland'' is also the name of an animated series produced by Mondo TV that's set in the same universe as their animated movie ''The Legend of the Titanic''.

157* ''VideoGame/FarCry1'' is the name of a game and [[Film/FarCry its film adaptation]], as well as the name of the [[Franchise/FarCry series as a whole.]] It is also the name of an [[Literature/FarCry unrelated novel.]]
158* ''The Fast and the Furious'' was a 1955 thriller about a car thief and a kidnapped woman, but [[ParodyDisplacement now everyone associates the title]] with that totally unrelated CashCowFranchise [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious beginning in 2001 about illegal street racing]]. The 1955 film inspired two quasi-remakes: Creator/RonHoward's 1977 directorial debut ''Grand Theft Auto'' (which in turn inspired [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto the popular video game series about the "gangsta" lifestyle]], [[InNameOnly albeit very, very indirectly]]), and the 1994 Creator/CharlieSheen action-comedy ''Film/TheChase1994'' (which, as noted above, is ''not'' related to any Similarly Named Works). So, in conclusion, one Similarly Named Work inspired both another Similarly Named Work and one work that could have been a Similarly Named Work but (just barely) wasn't. Confusing, isn't it?
159* The first cartoon to feature WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner was called ''WesternAnimation/FastAndFurryOus'', produced by Warner Bros. Animation in 1949. 56 years later, the studio produced a WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry direct-to-video moving sharing a similar [[PunBasedTitle punny]] title: ''[[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheFastAndTheFurry The Fast and the Furry]]''.
160* ''Film/FatalAttraction'' is a 1987 movie. ''ComicBook/FatalAttractionsMarvelComics'' is a 1993 ''ComicBook/XMen'' storyline, and ''Series/FatalAttractions2010'' is a 2010 Creator/AnimalPlanet TV series.

162* "Father of the Bride" is the title of no less than three films: ''Film/FatherOfTheBride1950'' starring Creator/SpencerTracy, ''Film/FatherOfTheBride1991'' starring Creator/SteveMartin, and ''Film/FatherOfTheBride2022'' starring Creator/AndyGarcia. It's also the title of a ''Series/{{CSI}}'' episode.

165* Before the Creator/ColinFirth and Creator/JimmyFallon[=/=]Creator/DrewBarrymore films based on [[Literature/FeverPitch the book]], there was the 1985 film [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089139/ Fever Pitch]] starring Ryan O'Neal.
166* ''The Fifth Man'' is the name of an episode of ''Series/StargateSG1'', ''Series/Numb3rs'', ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'', ''Series/DanielBoone'', a 2017 short film, an episode of ''Series/NightHeat'', and ''Series/{{Breakers}}''.
167* Ten years before the Music/RachelPlatten song of the same name, [[Music/CreedBand Scott Stapp]] released a song called "Fight Song". The latter has the lyric "This is my fight song," as the last line of the chorus, while the former has it as the first line of the chorus.
168* ''Final Combat'' is the title of two different [[UnlicensedGame bootleg video games]]. The first is a knockoff of ''VideoGame/BattleCity'' by Taiwanese developer Sachen, the second is a Chinese ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' clone.
169* "The Final Countdown" is Music/{{Europe}}'s [[SignatureSong hit song]] and also a ClimaxBoss and FinalBoss theme used in ''VideoGame/WanganMidnight Maximum Tune 4'' (albeit spelled "The Final Count Down"). It's also [[Film/TheFinalCountdown a 1981 Kirk Douglas thriller]] about the USS Nimitz going back in time to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
170* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyMysticQuest'' shares its name with the European release of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyAdventure'', which was retitled to ''Mystic Quest''. Aside from being part of the same series, they are quite different: one is a ''[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]''-esque top-down action-adventure game (as well as the first title in what would become known as the ''VideoGame/WorldOfMana'' series), while the other is a more traditional JRPG.
171* ''Film/FinalScore1986'' and ''Film/FinalScore'', two action movies released three decades apart. The former is more of a revenge-driven film while the latter is a DieHardOnAnX clone.
172* The PlatformGame ''VideoGame/FireAndIceTheDaringAdventuresOfCoolCoyote'' is unrelated to ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce1983'', the Creator/RalphBakshi movie, and is also not to be confused with ''Fire 'n Ice'', the U.S. title of ''VideoGame/SolomonsKey 2''. Or ''Fire and Ice'', the second ''Literature/WarriorCats'' book, for that matter. Or ''Fire on Ice'', a ''Literature/ChooseYourOwnAdventure'' book. None of these should be confused with the Russian Platform/ZXSpectrum game "Fire and Ice", which in turn should not be confused with the Speccy adventure game "They Say the World Will End in Fire and Ice", although it often was (the latter was of course usually abbreviated to the last three words). Should I mention there was also a song called "Fire and Ice" by Pat Benatar? Or a ''VideoGame/SonicBoom'' video game?
173* ''Fireball'' by Don Spencer (composed by BarryGray, as the closing-credits music of Series/FireballXL5) is not to be confused with ''Fireball'' by Music/DeepPurple. (Although this is now unlikely anyway, as the former has been renamed for its first line, ''I Wish I Was A Spaceman''.) It is also the name of a short series on Creator/DisneyChannel Japan which has a prequel, the [[Pinball/{{Fireball}} classic Bally pinball machine]] and [[VideoGame/FireballAtari2600 an Atari 2600 game by Starpath]].
174* ''Film/{{Firefox}}'' the movie and [[VideoGame/{{Firefox}} game]], or the [[UsefulNotes/MozillaFirefox web browser]].
175* ''Pinball/{{Flash}}'' has nothing to do with a certain Creator/DCComics [[Franchise/TheFlash speedster]], or UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash.
176* Larry Niven's ''Literature/KnownSpace'' series includes a short story named "Flatlander" and an unrelated novel also named ''Flatlander''. (In-universe, "flatlander" is the nickname for people born on a particular planet; the protagonist of the novel is a flatlander, while the short story is about a character from another planet meeting and befriending a flatlander.)
177* ''Flower'' is either [[VideoGame/{{Flower}} a surreal exploration-based game]] by Creator/ThatGameCompany or the [[Music/{{BEMANI}} DJ YOSHITAKA]] song that has appeared in more rhythm games -- including non-Konami ones -- than is probably necessary.
178* ''Forsaken'' is a [[VideoGame/{{Forsaken}} 1998 video game]], a ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode, a 2001 horror film, and a [[Film/{{Forsaken}} 2015 western.]]
179* ''Flying Hero'', a fire-rescue BreakingOut game for the Famicom, has no connection whatsoever to ''Flying Hero: Bugyuru no Daibouken'', a ''VideoGame/TwinBee'' clone for the Platform/SuperFamicom developed by Creator/ArcSystemWorks.
180* ''Manga/FlyMeToTheMoon'' has nothing to do with [[WesternAnimation/FlyMeToTheMoon the animated film]], [[Fanfic/FlyMeToTheMoon the Sonic fanfiction]], the [[Fanfic/PokemonCrossing Pokémon/Animal Crossing fanfiction]] or Music/FrankSinatra's classic song.
181* Music/KateBush wrote a beautiful love song titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av4PezYZoBk The Fog]], which has nothing to do with [[Film/TheFog1980 the John Carpenter film]].
182* Gina Palomino wrote a children's book in 2020 titled ''Follow That Bird!''. It has nothing to do with ''Film/SesameStreetPresentsFollowThatBird''.
183* ''Film/{{Following}}'' is a 1998 movie by Creator/ChristopherNolan. ''Series/TheFollowing'' is a 2013 TV series starring Creator/KevinBacon.
184* Nat King Cole's "For All We Know" is unrelated to the Music/{{Carpenters}}' "For All We Know."
185* There are two books named ''Literature/TheForeverWar'': a science-fiction novel about a pointless quagmire of an interstellar war and a non-fiction book about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
186* If you post on a space forum about watching ''For All Mankind'', you’ll probably be asked to clarify whether you mean [[Film/ForAllMankind the documentary]] with [[Music/BrianEno Brian Eno’s]] music or [[Series/ForAllMankind the alternate-history TV series]].
187* ''For Your Eyes Only'' is the name of a ''Literature/JamesBond'' [[Literature/ForYourEyesOnly short story]], its [[Film/JamesBond film]] [[Film/ForYourEyesOnly adaptation]], its theme song, and a ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'' fanfic that has nothing to do with ''James Bond'' (and precious little to do with ''Naruto''.)
188* ''Series/TheFosters'' is not a [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends home for imaginary friends]].
189* ''Fracture'' is a [[Film/Fracture2007 2007 movie]] and a 2008 [[VideoGame/{{Fracture}} third person shooter]].
190* ''Fraidy Cat'' is either an ''WesternAnimation/UncleCrocsBlock'' [[WesternAnimation/FraidyCat segment]] about an alley cat visited by the spirits of his past lives or a ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' short about Jerry pulling various pranks on Tom to scare him (only it's Tom's cowardly lookalike cousin but Jerry doesn't know it).
191* The short-lived coming-of-age series ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' shares its name with episodes of ''Series/{{CSI}}'' and ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''.
192* ''Fred: The Movie'' is the name of both the first full-length film based on the ''WebVideo/{{Fred}}'' Website/YouTube series, and a pro-Fred Phelps documentary produced by Westboro Baptist Church bigshot Steve Drain.
193* ''Anime/{{Free}}'', the anime sequel to the LightNovel ''High Speed!'', is completely unrelated to the SchoolgirlSeries manga ''[[http://houbunsha.co.jp/comics/detail.php?p=%A3%C6%A3%F2%A3%E5%A3%E5%A1%AA Free!]]'' (exclamation point included). There's also the 60s band.
194* There are two different musicals titled ''Freedom Bound''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsW85LM9mmo&feature=related The first]], written by Michael and Jill Gallina, is about an immigrant family, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Toh5zKzvfUQ the second]], an original production by Mad River Theater Works, is about an escaped slave on the Underground Railroad.
195* ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'': a 1988 ''VideoGame/OperationWolf''-like LightGunGame published by Creator/{{Sunsoft}} for the NES, a 2002 tactical RPG and AffectionateParody of UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} comic books by Irrational Games, or another MarketBasedTitle of the animated movie ''WesternAnimation/TheIllusionauts''? ''The Freedom Force'' is a 1978 animated series as part of the animation block ''Tarzan and the Super 7''.
196* ''Freedoom'' (title case) is a project to create an open-source ''{{VideoGame/Doom}}'' [=WADfile=]. ''[=FreeDoom=]'' (camel case) was a free ''Doom'' source port for Android devices.

200* Both Barry Adamson and Mint Royale have instrumental songs called "From Rusholme With Love".[[note]]Rusholme is a district of Manchester, England, the city both acts are from.[[/note]] Of course, both are punning on ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''.
201* ''Film/{{Frozen|2010}}'' is a 2010 drama/thriller hybrid film written and directed by Creator/AdamGreen. And ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' is a 2013 Creator/{{Disney}} animated movie based of "Literature/TheSnowQueen" fairy tale. As well as a Music/{{Madonna}} song.
202* ''Series/FullHouse'', the American TV series. And the British one, and the Korean one (with a Filipino remake), and the Filipino sitcom, and the Korean reality show. The manhwa, the book, several music albums.
203* ''Fun House'' can refer to [[Music/FunHouseAlbum an album]] by Music/TheStooges, [[Series/FunHouse1988 a children's game show]], or [[Pinball/FunHouse1990 a 1990 pinball machine]]. There's also ''Funhouse'', an album and song by Music/{{Pink}}.

205* ''Film/FunWithDickAndJane'' is, unfortunately, not an adaptation of the ''Literature/DickAndJane'' books.
206* Two different game shows have been called ''Funny You Should Ask''; the first one ran from 1968-1969, and involved guessing how celebrities described themselves.

212* The classic 70's anime ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'' was given an English dub in 1986 under the title ''Anime/GForceGuardiansOfSpace'', though it's usually referred to as just ''G-Force'' without the subtitle. In 2009, Disney produced ''Film/GForce''. The former is a Japanese cartoon about a team of bird-themed superheroes, while the latter is a movie about talking spy-hamsters. It's also a shooter on the ''VideoGame/Action52'' cartridge.
213* There are two oddly similar yet also wildly different manga called ''Gakuen Heaven''. [[VisualNovel/GakuenHeaven One]] is an adaptation of a [[BoysLove Yaoi]] dating sim series set in an all-boys school, the other is an ecchi series about a ronin teacher at an all-girls school.
214* ''The Galaxy Game'' is the first book in Phil Jane's comedy space opera series also called ''The Galaxy Game'', and the second book in Karen Lord's non-comedy space opera series beginning with ''The Best of All Possible Worlds''. It was also the name of a 1971 arcade machine.

216* ''The Game of Life'' is both a [[TabletopGame/GameOfLife board game]] by Creator/MiltonBradley and a [[VideoGame/ConwaysGameOfLife cellular automaton "game"]] by John Conway. The latter was even sometimes played on ''TabletopGame/{{Go}}'' boards prior to the advent of personal computers.
217* ''The Game'' is the name of many works, including [[Film/TheGame1997 a 1997 movie]] with Michael Douglas; [[Series/TheGame2006 a sports TV series]], [[Series/TheGame2014 a spy TV series]], [[Music/TheGameRapper a rapper]], [[Music/TheGameQueen an album by Queen]], [[Literature/TheGame2005 a book about pick-up artists]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game) that memetic mind game]].
