19	* ''Literature/HandbookForMortals'' is a 2017 fantasy novel notorious for its author trying to scam her way onto ''The New York Times'' Bestseller List; its title is identical to the completely unrelated 1999 non-fiction book ''Handbook for Mortals'', which offers guidance and advice for people facing chronic or terminal health conditions.
20	* "Hanky Panky" is a 1964 song by Tommy James and the Shondells and a 1990 song by Music/{{Madonna}}.
21	* The Hanson Brothers, a Music/{{Ramones}}-inspired side project of the Canadian punk band Music/{{Nomeansno}} named after a trio of characters in the movie ''Film/SlapShot'', are not to be confused with the pop band Music/{{Hanson}} whose members are all brothers with that surname, who themselves are not to be confused with a short-lived British band from the 1970s also called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanson_(UK_band) Hanson]].

23	* If you're going to go see Samuel Beckett's play ''Happy Days'', keep in mind that you will most definitely '''not''' see [[Series/HappyDays The Fonz]] (or hear a certain Pratt and [=McClain=] song). You can see the Fonz in the musical adaptation of the TV series, however (though he won't be played by Creator/HenryWinkler).
24	* ''Literature/HardTimes'' is a novel by Creator/CharlesDickens, while ''Website/TheHardTimes'' is a NewsParody website.

29	* As far as ''The Haunting'' goes, you'd already expect there to be two to watch out for, namely [[Film/TheHaunting1963 the original 1963 film]] and [[Film/TheHaunting1999 its 1999 remake]]. If you live outside North America, however, then you have ''three'' to deal with -- ''The Haunting '63'', ''The Haunting '99'', and another film called "''The Haunting''", which in actual fact is a retitled version of the Creator/RogerCorman film ''Film/TheTerror''. Corman's film was released in the same year as the first ''Haunting'' film, and so he took advantage of the fact that studios could be incredibly lax about releasing their films outside of North America (assuming they even bothered at all) to pass his own film off as ''The Haunting''.
30	* ''Haven'' is the title of a [[Series/{{Haven}} 2010 supernatural television drama]] and a [[VideoGame/Haven2020 2020 sci-fi adventure RPG]]. There's also the 2002 action-adventure game ''VideoGame/HavenCallOfTheKing''.

(The 1978 film ''is'' a remake ... of a different movie named ''Film/HereComesMrJordan'', which was later remade ''again'' as ''Film/DownToEarth2001''; confused yet?) Or the We The Kings song. Or, indeed, the Music/MeatLoaf song, or the Music/GammaRay song, or the Music/MichaelJackson song, or the Music/IronMaiden song, or the ''{{VideoGame/Lemmings}}'' level.
42	* The Creator/{{ITV}} series ''Series/{{Heartbeat}}'' shares its name with two US series (one of them puts its name as ''[=HeartBeat=]''. Both have been shown on UK television (not no name change).
43	* ''Heavy Metal'' is both a comics magazine and a (related)[[WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal animated movie]]. The ComicBook/IronMan[=/=]ComicBook/XOManowar crossover is titled ''Heavy Metal''. ''Heavy Metal Thunder'' is a game by Creator/SquareEnix.

50	* ''Hero Zero'' is a ''ComicBook/ComicsGreatestWorld'' miniseries and a game by [=Playata GmbH=].
51	* "Hey Joe!" by Frankie Laine (notice the exclamation) is not "Hey Joe" by Billy Roberts (and Jimi Hendrix, [[CoveredUp among others]]).
52	* ''High and Low'': Two different works, both from Japan as it happens: [[Film/HighAndLow1963 a 1963 film]] by Creator/AkiraKurosawa, and a [[Series/HighAndLow multimedia series]] (the latter work is usually written with an ampersand as ''High & Low'').
53	* ''The High Cost of Living'' (2010) and ''Death: The High Cost of Living'' (DevelopmentHell) are about women dealing with death, but only one has [[ComicBook/TheSandman Death herself]].

56	* In 1957, it was announced that writers Elwood Ullman and Edward Bernds were nominated for Best Screenplay Oscar for their script to the movie ''High Society''.

As it turned out, the actual nominee was John Patrick, who wrote the screenplay for the ''High Society'' movie that starred Music/BingCrosby, Creator/GraceKelly, and Music/FrankSinatra. ''High Society'' is also the second book in ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark''.
57	* ''The Hike'':
58	** ''Literature/TheHike2023'' by Lucy Clarke shares its name with the 2016 novel ''The Hike'' by Drew Magary. Besides both stories heavily featuring a hike in the woods as a central plot element, they're very different books; Magary's ''The Hike'' is a ComicFantasy set in Pennsylvania, while Lucy Clarke's ''The Hike'' is a mundane thriller set in Norway.
59	** There's also another thriller about a hike gone wrong involving four people titled ''The Hike'', written by Susi Holliday and published in 2022, though that one is set in the Swiss Alps and the main characters are two sisters and their husbands, rather than a group of friends.
60	* The SlasherMovie ''Film/TheHillsRunRed'' shares its name with a [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060416/ 1966 Italian western]] (which is also known as ''River of Dollars''). This fact is also discussed in-universe of the former, where ''The Hills Run Red'' is the name of a lost horror movie.
61	* The title of ''"Hitman"'' is a fairly generic one to be fair, so logically, this was inevitably going to happen:
62	** ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' is a popular series of video games about the assassin Agent 47, however, Creator/IOInteractive pulled a StoppedNumberingSequels move back in 2016 for the below entries:
63	*** ''VideoGame/Hitman2016'' does not refer to first game; ''VideoGame/HitmanCodename47''
64	*** ''VideoGame/Hitman2'' does not refer to second game; ''VideoGame/Hitman2SilentAssassin''
65	*** ''VideoGame/Hitman3'' does not refer to third game; ''VideoGame/HitmanContracts''
66	** ''ComicBook/{{Hitman\|1993}}'' was a popular 1993 comic book about the assassin Tommy Monaghan, which is also not related to the above video games' prequel comic series ''ComicBook/Agent47BirthOfTheHitman''

74	* ''{{VideoGame/Homefront}}'' is a video game featuring a North Korean invasion of a small American town. The [=90s=] television series ''Homefront'' was a drama featuring life in a small American town after World War II ended. And ''Film/{{Homefront}}'' is a Creator/JasonStatham action flick.
75	* ''Film/HoneymoonInVegas'' is a 1992 comedy film starring Creator/NicolasCage and an episode of ''Series/CSIVegas'' about a couple being murdered on their honeymoon.
76	* ''VideoGame/HongKong97'' is both an infamous 1995 bootleg Super Famicom game and a 1994 action movie.
77	* ''Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi'' (Translated as ''[[BasedOnAGreatBigLie Scary True]] Stories'') is the name of at least three unrelated Japanese {{horror}} [[GenreAnthology anthology]] franchises:
78	** The original is a bimonthly magazine published by ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi_Sonorama Asahi Shimbun]]'' from 1987 to 2010, which would serve as an inspiration to a 1991-1992 DirectToVideo movie trilogy, known overseas as "Scary True Stories", [[TropeCodifier a forerunner]] of the 1990s horror boom in Japan. The movies' enduring popularity made it possible to adapt it to a yearly Creator/FujiTV [[MadeForTVMovie television special]] and two seasons [[LongRunners since 1999 from today]].
79	** In 1992, Creator/TVAsahi made a television show under the same name[[note]]"''Honto''" written as kanji instead of hiragana, i.e. "本当" instead of "ほんと"[[/note]], with the subtitle of ''Mystery Taiken Zone'' or ''Natsu no Fushigi Mystery'' depending on the season's half, probably to [[FollowTheLeader cash in the movies' fame]]. The show was followed by five DirectToVideo movies from 1999 to 2003 (either subtitled ''Noroi Shiryō'' or ''Mystery Taiken Zone'' again), the first of them being translated overseas as "''Curse, Death & Spirit''".
80	** Publisher ''Broadway Co Ltd.'' made a similar series of DirectToVideo FoundFootageFilms named ''Honto ni Atta! Noroi no Video'' that started in 1999 and has been going since then... However, they have been releasing a spin-off [[TheMockbuster more similar to the original inspiration]] since 2004, with yet again an almost identical name[[note]]"''Honto''" written with an extra vowel, i.e. "ほんとう" / "Hontou" instead of "ほんと" / "Honto"[[/note]].
81	* ''The Host'': [[Film/TheHost2006 English title of a Korean monster movie]], [[Literature/TheHost2008 Stephenie Meyer sci-fi romance novel]], or [[VideoGame/TheHost2020 the first in a series of first-person indie horror games]].

Also, it's a dance music genre.
83	** Meanwhile ''House!'' (note the exclamation point) is a 2000 comedy about a bingo hall in Wales.

One's a [[VideoGame/TheSims Sims]] {{machinomic\|s}} about a superheroine who is pretty much an AlternateCompanyEquivalent of Marvel's Spider-Girl, just with different animal-themed powers. The other is a gross-out D-grade horror film.
86	* "The Human Factor" is the title of episodes of both ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'' and ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' but the latter is not a remake of the former.
87	* ''Film/{{Hunger}}'' is a 2008 film about Irish prisoners. Fanfic/{{Hunger}} is also the title of a VideoGame/{{Prototype}} fanfic. The fanfic's author was [[SincerityMode completely unaware of the film]].
88	** ''Film/TheHunger'', on the other hand, is a film starring Catherine Deneuve as a [[LesbianVampire bisexual vampire]] and also a British/Canadian horror anthology television series prone to {{Cruel Twist Ending}}s, both also featuring Music/DavidBowie.
89	** "The Hunger" also the name of a 1987 album by Music/MichaelBolton.
90	* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' is about a teenage girl who takes her sister's place in a competition where 24 teenagers fight to the death till one remains.

91	* ''Hunter'' was the name of two [[LandDownUnder Australian]] TV series; one was a spy drama from TheSixties, the other a children's educational program from the late [[TheEighties eighties]] and early [[TheNineties nineties]]. And of course, there's the U.S. action series from TheEighties starring former NFL star Fred Dryer. There was also a U.S. cartoon series called ''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] Hunter'' that aired as a segment on ''WesternAnimation/KingLeonardoAndHisShortSubjects''. It is also the name of an action-adventure game for Amiga and Atari ST, and an Platform/Atari2600 game [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes that is lost to time]].

93	* "Hypocrite" is a reggae song written by Leo Sibbles of The Heptones. "Hypocrites" is a reggae song written and performed by Music/BobMarley. A mix-up between the two is likely the reason why Music/TheSpecials' 1996 single "Hypocrite" was credited as written by Marley, though it's actually a cover of the Sibbles song.

96	[[folder:I]]
97	* ''Literature/IMovedYourCheese'' (2001) by Darrel Bristow-Bovey, a satire of self-help in general, and ''Literature/IMovedYourCheese2011'' by Deepak Malhotra, an unofficial sequel to the business fable ''Literature/WhoMovedMyCheese''.

125	* ''Film/{{Insomnia}}'' is a 2002 remake of a 1997 Norwegian suspense film of the same title. It's also the title of a completely-unrelated [[Literature/{{Insomnia}} novel]] by Creator/StephenKing.
126	** Then there's ''Insomniac'', a Music/GreenDay album.
127	** And let's not confuse either of those with the song by Faithless, or with ''Creator/InsomniacGames.''
128	* "In the Dark" is a collaboration between Dutch ElectronicDanceMusic DJ-producer Music/{{Tiesto}} and British singer-songwriter Christian Burns(formerly of the BoyBand [=BBMak=]), a 1973 album (and song) by Toots & the Maytals, and a 1981 hit for Music/BillySquier; while "Into the Dark" is a collaboration between Dutch EDM DJ-producer Music/FerryCorsten and British singer-songwriter Howard Jones.
129	* ''In the Night Garden'': the first volume of ''Literature/TheOrphansTales'' or the Creator/CBeebies series?
130	* ''Literature/TheInvisibleMan'' by Creator/HGWells, the Creator/{{Syfy}} series ''Series/TheInvisibleMan'', and ''Literature/InvisibleMan'' by Ralph Ellison. There's also the song of the same name by Music/{{Queen}}.
131	* ''Literature/WarriorCats'' shares a couple similar titles: it has books called ''Into the Wild'' and ''Into the Woods'', not to be confused with Jon Krakauer's ''Literature/IntoTheWild'' (or its movie adaptation) and the musical ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' (or ''its'' [[Film/IntoTheWoods movie adaptation]]).
132	* There are two very different films under the title ''Into the Storm''. The [[Film/IntoTheStorm2009 2009 version]] is a biopic about UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill, the [[Film/IntoTheStorm2014 2014 version]] is a DisasterMovie with tornadoes.
133	** And there is the song "Into the Storm" by Music/BlindGuardian, based on ''Literature/TheSilmarillion''.
134	* So you're interested in a movie called "Invasion U.S.A.", about a Soviet invasion of America. Do you mean [[Film/InvasionUSA1952 the 1952 film starring Gerald Mohr]], or [[Film/InvasionUSA1985 the 1985 film with Chuck Norris]]?
135	* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' is a comic about a young superhero. It's also the title of a movie about Vince Papale, and another movie about a Jewish strongman in the 1930s and 1940s.
136	** It's also a 1985 hit for Music/PatBenatar and a 2009 rock hit for Las Vegas band Adelitas Way (the ''WWE Superstars'' theme). And [[Music/{{Invincible}} Michael Jackson's last album]].
137	* The ''Pinball/IronMaiden'' pinball machine has nothing to do with the rock band.
138	* ComicBook/IronMan is a {{Creator/Marvel}} comic book superhero, an antihero sung about by Music/BlackSabbath (who were careful to make it clear by the lyrics that they were ''not'' referencing the Marvel character) and a children's book written in the UK by Creator/TedHughes, which was given an animated InNameOnly film adaptation in the U.S. You might have heard of it. It was called ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant.''
139	* ''The Island'':
140	** A 2005 Creator/MichaelBay [[Film/TheIsland2005 film]] based on ''Film/{{Clonus}}'', or a 2006 Creator/PavelLungin film about a monk?
141	** There's also the Music/{{Pendulum\|Band}} song, which partially averts this by being split up into two parts.
142	** ''Literature/TheIsland'' is also a 1979 novel by Peter Benchley, which was adapted into film in 1980.
143	* ''Isle of the Dead'' is the name of a Creator/TakashiMurakami [[Art/IsleOfTheDead mixed-media painting]], a [[Film/IsleOfTheDead live-action film]], and a [[VideoGame/IsleOfTheDead videogame]].
144	* The VideoGame ''Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's a Wonderful World'' had to be re-titled to ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' for the English localization, because it shares its title with a 1930s ScrewballComedy. It also sounds similar to the name of the Music/LouisArmstrong song "What a Wonderful World".
145	* There have been two different TV series titled ''It Takes a Thief''. [[Series/ItTakesAThief1968 The first]] was a 1968 SpyFiction show about a GentlemanThief who steals for the government. [[Series/ItTakesAThief2005 The second]] was a 2005 RealityShow about two {{Reformed Criminal}}s who break into homes--with permission--to improve the owners' security systems.
146	** And then there's Coolio's debut album of the same name.
147	** And the best-of album by Thievery Corporation.
148	* "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" is the name of both a British dark comedy film from 2010 and an episode of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' cartoon, although the plots are completely different.
149	* ''It Was a Very Good Year'' is a song by Music/FrankSinatra and an episode of ''Series/{{CSI}}'' that harkens back to the 1960's.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:J]]
153	* One of the most notorious film examples is two 1990s movies called ''Jack Frost''. Both are about men who die and come back as snowmen, but the only difference is that one is a [[Film/JackFrost1997 gory slasher film]] and the other is [[Film/JackFrost1998 a lighthearted family movie]]. And of course, there's a ''third'' film titled ''Jack Frost'', this one a 1960s Russian production (also known as ''Film/{{Morozko}}'') which was mocked by the ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' guys.
154	** The first two examples were eventually Main/{{Lampshaded}} in Magazine/{{Mad}} Magazine's "Planet TAD" section in one issue. In this case, the titular Tad buys his younger sister the slasher film instead of the family film, scarring her for life.
155	* ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' is a long-running American quiz show. ''Jeopardy'' is a three-year UK science fiction show. This is an example of [[{{Pun}} double jeopardy]].
156	* The manga ''Manga/{{Jesus}}'' has nothing to do with the old Enix game ''JESUS'', and neither have to do with UsefulNotes/JesusChrist.
157	* ''VideoGame/{{Jetpac}}'' should not be confused with ''VideoGame/{{Jetpack}}''. They have little in common except a player character with a JetPack.
158	* ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I]]'' is a 1990 computer game, and a 1994 SNES game.
159	* ''Joey'': [[Series/{{Joey}} both an unsuccessful spinoff]] of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' and an Australian film about a [[Film/Joey1997 baby kangaroo]].
160	* There is no shortage of works named ''Judgment Day'', including but not limited to: a 1940 German film, a 1949 Czech comedy film, a 1988 horror film, a 1993 television film subtitled ''The John List Story'', a 1998 direct-to-video film, [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay the second]] ''[[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Terminator]]'' [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay movie]], an episode of ''{{Series/Highlander}}'', an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewBatmanAdventures'', a series of {{Wrestling/WWE}} events from 1998-2009 as well as [[Wrestling/TheJudgmentDay their more recent dominant faction]], and the Season 5 finale of ''{{Series/NCIS}}''.
161	* "Juliet": Completely unrelated songs by the Four Pennies, LMNT, Cavetown, Robin Gibb and Lawson. In addition to this, "Juliette" is the title of songs by Hollerado, Kalapana and Little Feat.
162	* ''Jumper'': [[Literature/{{Jumper}} A sci-fi story by Steven Gould]] [[VideoGame/{{Jumper}} or masochistic platformer by Maddy Thorson]]? Ironically, the former also had a LicensedGame, which sadly [[FromBadToWorse makes things more confusing]].
163	** Or, it could be a Third Eye Blind hit from 1998.
164	* "Just Another Day" is the title of three separate songs by 1) Jon Secada (the most famous one), 2) Music/OingoBoingo and 3) Wrestling/JohnCena and Tha Trademarc. They are all relatively low-key numbers and generally pessimistic in tone, but those are the only two things they all have in common. The first one is a [[SillyLoveSongs Silly Love Song]], the second is about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, and the third is simply about how the protagonist's life sucks. Additionally, it's the name usually given to a music track from ''VideoGame/TheLostVikings'', though where the name comes from (or if it's even official) isn't known. Outside of music, "Just Another Day" can refer to a series of comedic mods for ''VideoGame/FreeSpace2''
165	[[/folder]]
166
167	[[folder:K]]
168	* ''Film/{{K9}}'', the 1989 James Belushi film about a police dog, and ''Series/{{K9}}'', the 2010 ''Series/DoctorWho'' spin-off about the tin dog. Also the canine minion of [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Marvin The Martian]].
169	* ''Kaibutsu-kun'' is a comedy manga from the 1960s about a monster prince who goes to live with humans. ''[[Manga/MyLittleMonster Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun]]'' is an unrelated romantic manga from 2008 about a girl and her male classmate. Both manga gained anime adaptations (the former having two).
170	* Franchise/KamenRider
171	** ''Film/KamenRiderZO'' and ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'' have no real connection beyond being part of the same franchise. At least they're pronounced differently. [[note]]"Zed-Oh" for the former, "Ji-Oh" for the latter.[[/note]]
172	** Likewise, ''Film/ShinKamenRiderPrologue'' is not actually a prologue to ''[[Film/ShinKamenRider2023 Shin Kamen Rider]]''; the planned follow-up to the former was scrapped, while the latter has closer ties to ''Film/ShinGodzilla'' and ''Film/ShinUltraman''.
173	* ''Manga/KamichamaKarin'', a manga about a girl who can transform into a goddess, and ''Manga/{{Karin}}'', a manga about a vampire girl. This is apparently why {{Creator/Tokyopop}} changed the title of the latter.
174	** ''Kamichama Karin [[OddlyNamedSequel Chu]]'', a sequel to a manga about a girl who can transform into a goddess, and ''Anime/{{Kamichu}}'', a manga about a girl who, uh, becomes a goddess.
175	* ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', the VisualNovel by Creator/KeyVisualArts, the manga ''Manga/KanonChihoSaito'', and ''Kannon'', a 2015 album by Music/SunnO.
176	* ''Kicking & Screaming'' is the 1995 college-centric RomCom movie, and ''Kicking and Screaming'' is the 2005 soccer comedy movie.
177	* The number of movies named ''The Kid'' is insane. As a sampling, there's Charlie Chaplin's 1921 [[Film/TheKid1921 entry]] about his Little Tramp character taking care of an orphan; a 1997 Canadian movie about a boxer; a 2000 feature (titled ''[[Film/TheKid2000 Disney's The Kid]]'') where Creator/BruceWillis meets his kid self; and a vulgar 2001 animated film. Then there are the dozen or so others.
178	* ''The Kids Are All Right'' was a documentary on a former Muscular Dystrophy Association poster child who protested the organization after being abandoned by them. It's not to be confused with the more recent comedy-drama ''Film/TheKidsAreAllRight'' about the children of a lesbian couple. Or the 2008 game show ''The Kids Are All Right'' hosted by Creator/JohnBarrowman. Or with ''The Kids Are Alright'', a concert documentary of Music/TheWho, or their song of the same name. Or "The Kids Aren't Alright" by Music/TheOffspring, "The Kids Aren't Alright" by Music/FallOutBoy, and the Music/{{AWOLNATION}} song, ''[=THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT=]''. Confused yet?
179	* '''''The Killer'''' is a 1972 Creator/ShawBrothers film, a 1989 Creator/JohnWoo [[Film/TheKiller1989 film]], a [[ComicBook/TheKiller French comic book]] and the latter's 2023 Creator/DavidFincher [[Film/TheKiller2023 film adaptation]].
180	* ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' is a video game series by Rare, a 1988 film known as ''Deadly Observation'', a 1991 film known as ''Homicidal Impulse'', a 1992 film known as ''Mad Dog Coll'', a 2001 horror movie, a 2005 crime drama TV series, a 2006 thriller novel by Joseph Finder, the first part of the 2008 ''Film/{{Mesrine}}'' film duology, a 2011 true crime TV series, and a 2015 true crime TV series.
181	* There's both a 2013 video game named ''VideoGame/KillerIsDead'' and a 2005 promotional short story based off of ''VideoGame/Killer7'' named Killer is Dead (which remains unfinished to this day). Ironically, they both take place in the same universe.
182	* The 1936 UK movie ''King of Hearts'' is unrelated to the 1966 French movie ''King of Hearts'' which is unrelated to the 1996 US movie ''King of Hearts''.
183	* ''King of the Hill'' can refer to [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill an animated sitcom]], a 1993 film directed by Creator/StevenSoderbergh, a 2007 Spanish film (sometimes called "The King of the Mountain"), an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', or an episode of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. There are also several unrelated songs with that name by Music/QuietRiot, Roger [=McGuinn=], Westside Connection, and others.
184	* ''Manga/KingOfThorn'' is a post-apocalyptic manga by Creator/YujiIwahara. ''King of Thorns'' is the second book in fantasy ''Literature/TheBrokenEmpireTrilogy'' by British writer Mark Lawrence.
185	* Kingdom Come is the name of a heavy metal band, a [[ComicBook/KingdomCome 1996 DC Comics mini-series]], and a 2001 film.
186	* ''Kingdom Wars'' is a 3D strategy game by Reverie World Studios, and a MobilePhoneGame by Mobirix.
187	* ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' is a video game series. ''Kings Quest'' is a comic by Creator/DynamiteComics.
188	* ''The King's Woman'' is the English title of both a 2003 Korean drama and [[Series/TheKingsWoman a 2017 Chinese drama]].
189	* ''Kinpatsu no Jeanie'' ("Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair"), a 1979 anime, has no connection with a 1992-93 anime ''Anime/KazeNoNakaNoShojoKinpatsuNoJeanie'' ("[[Anime/JeanieWithTheLightBrownHair The Girl in the Wind: Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair]]"). Both shows were loosely inspired by the Stephen Foster song of the same name, but that's where the similarity ends. Coincidentally, both shows aired on the same network (Creator/TVTokyo).
190	* ''[[VisualNovel/{{Kirakira}} Kira☆Kira]]'' is a VisualNovel about a high school punk rock band, while ''Literature/KiraKira'' is a Newbery Medal-winning young adult novel by Cynthia Kadohata.
191	* There are at least two paintings named ''Art/TheKiss''. [[Art/TheKissHayez One]] by Creator/FranciscoHayez in 1859 and [[Art/TheKissKlimt another]] in ArtNouveau by Creator/GustavKlimt in 1907.
192	* ''Literature/Kiss2007'' is a YA novel by Jacqueline Wilson. ''Literature/Kiss2009'' is a suspense novel by Ted Dekker & Erin Healy.
193	** And of course, there's [[Franchise/{{KISS}} the band and its franchise]].
194	** Let's not also forget the song by Music/{{Prince}}!
195	* "Kiss the Girl" is the title of a song from the Disney movie ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}''. It is also the title of a song about the Series/DoctorWho episode "The Lodger".
196	* "Kiss and Tell" is the title of a [[Theatre/KissAndTell 1943 Broadway play]] by F. Hugh Herbert and its [[Film/KissAndTell1945 film adaptation]]. It is also the title of a [[Literature/KissAndTell 2000 romance novel]] by Cherry Adair, a [[Film/KissAndTell1996 1996 independent feature film]], [[Film/KissAndTellTVFilm a 1996 TV film]] directed by Creator/AndyWolk, a [[Film/KissAndTell2021 2021 film]] directed by Desmond Elliot, an [[Recap/ArthurS8E9FleaToBeYouAndMeKissAndTell episode]] of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', an [[Recap/GilmoreGirlsS01E07 episode]] of ''Series/GilmoreGirls'', an episode of ''Series/YoungAmericans'', a novel in the ''Literature/MariannasBookUniverse'' series, an album by the UsefulNotes/{{Swed\|en}}ish band Sahara Hotnights, another album by Music/SelenaGomez and a song on said album, as well as several other songs by other singers and bands. There is also a companion guide to ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' called ''Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell'', a ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' fanfic titled ''Fanfic/DontKissAndTell'', and an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989'' titled "[[Recap/TheLegendOfZelda1989E4KissNTell Kiss 'n Tell]]".
197	* ''Knightmare'' is the name of both [[Series/{{Knightmare}} a British children's]] GameShow and a ShootEmUp for the MSX. The former also had a video game adaptation to make it more confusing.
198	* ''Film/KnivesOut'' is the name of a 2019 mystery film. It's also the name of a mobile BattleRoyaleGame. And a Music/{{Radiohead}} song, who the movie's director borrowed the name from.
199	* "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a 1973 Music/BobDylan song, the ''[[Anime/CowboyBebopKnockinOnHeavensDoor Cowboy Bebop]]'' movie, a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' episode, and a 2014 Nigerian musical film.
200	* There are no less than 10 unrelated movies with some variation of ''Knockout'' as their title, including [[Film/TheKnockout a 1914 silent slapstick comedy]] and [[Film/{{Knockout}} a 2000 drama about a female boxer]]. And that's not even getting into similarly-titled TV shows, albums, songs, novels, comic books, and even a pinball game.
201	* ''Series/KungFu1972'' is a TV series starring Creator/DavidCarradine, or the NES port of the arcade game ''VideoGame/KungFuMaster''. ''Kung Fu Master'' is a 1988 French drama film.
202	* ''Kurobe'' is a black comedy manga from 1969 about a man who can control people's shadows. It should not be confused with the unrelated ''Jungle Kurobe'', a children's anime and manga from 1973 about a pygmie living with a Japanese family. Not helping the confusion is that both titles were produced by Creator/FujikoFujio (although the former was created by Fujiko Fujio A., while the other was by Fujiko F. Fujio.)
203	* ''Manga/{{Kurogane}}'', an action manga set in the Edo Period that ran from 1996 to 1997 and ''[[Manga/{{Kurogane2011}} Kurogane]]'', a present day UsefulNotes/{{Kendo}} sports manga released in 2011.
204	[[/folder]]
205
206	[[folder:L]]
207	* ''Lab Rats'' is either a short lived British sitcom about a research lab, or a [[Series/LabRats much longer-lasting Disney superhero sitcom]]. Or a short lived [[ComicBook/LabRats DC comic book title from the early 2000s]] or a Late 2000s Australian Science Themed Game Show.
208	* ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' is an American movie with Music/DavidBowie and a British miniseries with Katie [=McGrath=]. Even more confusingly for soundtrack fans, Trevor Jones scored both. It's also a [[Literature/{{Labyrinth}} 2005 novel]] by Kate Moss, and an RPG/CCG dungeon crawler by Free Range Games. Or '''Labrinth''' a British R&B singer.
209	* "Lady" is the name of a 1967 song by Jack Jones, a 1970 song by Dennis Wilson, a 1974 song by Styx, a 1978 song by Little River Band, a 1980 song by Kenny Rogers (written by Lionel Ritchie), a 1996 song by D'Angelo, and a 2004 song by Lenny Kravitz (and those are just the ones listed without subtitles on Website/TheOtherWiki's "Disambiguation" page). Please note that ''none'' of these is a cover version of any of the others, and six of the seven were Billboard Top 40 hits (Wilson's "Lady" was not released as a single in the US).
210	* "Lady Double Dealer" is the name of a song by Krokus. There's no way it could have escaped their attention that Music/DeepPurple had done a song of the same title a few years earlier, but Krokus were a bunch of lovable street urchin thieves when it came to songwriting ideas.
211	** Krokus also has two completely different songs titled "No Way", the first one from their first ([[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]]) album (1976), the second one from the same album as the aforementioned "Lady Double Dealer" (''Metal Rendez-vous'', 1980). (The first one of these is easy to ignore, because the album it's from had very few copies printed and is therefore almost impossible to find.)
212	* ''LandOfTheLost'' could refer to a [[Series/LandOfTheLost1974 1974 Sid And Marty Krofft series]], that series' [[Series/LandOfTheLost1991 remake]] or [[Film/LandOfTheLost movie adaptation]]; or a [[Radio/LandOfTheLost1943 1940s' radio series]], that broadcasts' ComicBookAdaptation or {{Novelization}}, or the three ''WesternAnimation/{{Noveltoons}}'' [[AnimatedAdaptation adaptations]] made from 1948-51.
213	* The Indian movie ''Film/{{Lagaan}}'' and the anime series ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
214	* ''The Last Command'' can be either a [[Film/TheLastCommand 1928 silent film]] directed by Creator/JosefVonSternberg or a 1993 ''Franchise/StarWars'' novel written by Creator/TimothyZahn.
215	* Amongst the fanmade ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' songs, '''''Last Hope''''' could be either Chara's song from the ''Dusttale'' crossover, or Taeyai's song from ''Cyber Sensation''.
216	* ''Last Mission'', an omnidirectional arcade ShootEmUp by Creator/DataEast, is not to be confused with ''The Last Mission'', a {{Flip Screen\|Scrolling}} ActionGame by Opera Soft. There is also ''La dernière mission'', a French graphic adventure for the Platform/AmstradCPC whose title translates to the same thing.
217	* mind.in.a.box remixed the theme from ''VideoGame/TheLastNinja 3'', but also produced an original {{chiptune}} titled "The Last Ninja". ''Film/TheLastNinja'' is also the title of a TV movie starring {{Creator/Mako}} and Creator/MichaelBeck, unrelated to the games.
218	* "The Last Song" is a 2004 song by Music/HilaryDuff, a 2006 song by Music/FooFighters, a 1973 hit for Canadian pop band Edward Bear, a 1992 TearJerker song by Music/EltonJohn about a father visiting his LGBT son dying of AIDS, or a 2010 TearJerker movie written by Creator/NicholasSparks and starring Music/MileyCyrus, involving a divorced man dying of cancer and his jaded ex-piano prodigy daughter visiting him in Georgia.
219	* "The Last Train" is either a 2010 DarkWave song by the Italian duo The Frozen Autumn, or a 2019 darkwave song and EP by the Swedish duo Sine City.
220	* ''The Last Supper'' is a famous Renaissance painting by Creator/LeonardoDaVinci. It's also a BlackComedy film starring Creator/CameronDiaz and Creator/CourtneyBVance. ''Last Supper'' is an episode of ''Series/{{CSI}}'' about a dead body being fed to contestants on a cooking show and [[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S3E4LastSupper an episode]] of ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' about a young man bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents for the first time.
221	* ''Series/TheLateShow hosted by Creator/DavidLetterman'' or the movie ''The Late Show''. Don't confuse the latter with ''The Late Shift'', a movie about how Letterman eventually got the former. There's also a [[Series/TheLateShow1992 late show]] in Australia, a BBC arts program that aired in the early-90s, and a Canadian CBC radio documentary that provides listeners with extended obituaries.
222	* The Late Late Show is either an American late night chat show which is currently hosted by Creator/JamesCorden, or a long-running Irish late night chat show which airs every Friday night.
223	* "Laura," a country song sung by Music/TomJones, is completely unrelated to the 40s ballad "Laura" and the same-name movie the latter appeared in. Neither of which are related to the 1982 song "Laura", from the Music/BillyJoel album ''The Nylon Curtain''[[note]]A rare case of Billy letting out a PrecisionFStrike in song[[/note]].
224	* ''Film/LeavingLasVegas'' is a 1995 film starring Creator/NicolasCage and an episode of ''Series/{{CSI}}''.
225	* ''Legend'' is a [[Film/Legend1985 1985 movie]], a [[Film/Legend2015 2015 movie]], and a 2005 Creator/{{Wildstorm}} comic.
226	* ''ComicBook/{{Legion}}'' is a Creator/MarvelComics character, [[ComicBook/LegionMarvelComics the son of Professor Charles Xavier]], with a [[Series/Legion2017 TV series]] adaptation, Creator/DCComics' [[ComicBook/LEGIONDCComics modern iteration]] of the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', or a [[Film/{{Legion}} movie]].
227	* ''Literature/{{Lenore}}'' is a 1773 seminal horror ballad by Gottfried August Bürger. It is also a rather shorter 1843 poem by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, who quite proably was influenced by Bürger and also used the name in his story ''Eleonora'' (1841) and as that of the narrator's [[TheLostLenore lost love]] in ''The Raven''. The comic ''ComicBook/LenoreTheCuteLittleDeadGirl'' by Roman Dirge is inspired more by Poe than Bürger.
228	* The 2023 animated Creator/{{Netflix}} movie ''WesternAnimation/{{Leo}}'' was released just over a month after the Indian movie of the same name. However, the latter was given the subtitle ''Bloody Sweet'' in order to avoid confusion.
229	* Nada Surf put out an album called ''Let Go'' the same year Music/AvrilLavigne called her debut the same thing. Reportedly, Nada Surf had that title in mind for a while, found out there was a major hit release with the same title, and decided to stick with it anyway.
230	* "Let It Go" is either referring to Yuna Ito's song or the more well-known piece in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen\|2013}}''. KC and the Sunshine Band, Music/ScatmanJohn, Keyshia Cole, Tim [=McGraw=], Def Leppard, Cavo, James Bay, and Mitchell Musso all have unrelated songs called "Let It Go" as well.
231	* There are two completely different songs called "Let the Beat Hit 'em". One song is by 80s group Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, the other is a song that appears in various VideoGame/{{Bemani}} games.
232	* Game Show ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' was most famously hosted by Creator/MontyHall in the 1960-1970's and has undergone several incarnations, including one hosted by Creator/WayneBrady. It's also the name of episodes of ''Series/{{CSI}}'' and ''Series/TheOddCouple''.
233	* ''[[Film/Liberte2019 Liberté]]'', a 2019 historical EroticFilm set in pre-revolutionary France, and ''VideoGame/{{Liberte}}'', an AlternateHistory {{deckbuilding\|Game}} video game set during UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution.
234	* ''Series/Life2007'', the LiveActionTelevision drama. ''Life'', a BBC documentary. ''Manga/Life2002'', a {{manga}} series. ''Film/{{Life\|1999}}'', a movie starring Creator/EddieMurphy and Creator/MartinLawrence, ''Film/{{Life\|2017}}'', a science-fiction film, Life, a 2020 BBC drama series. ''[[TabletopGame/GameOfLife The Game of Life]]'' (the Milton-Bradley board game). VideoGame/ConwaysGameOfLife. Life, the breakfast cereal. And most, if not all of these, are named after RealLife. And Life Magazine, which bought its title from a defunct unrelated humor magazine.
235	* ''Lifeline'' is [[VideoGame/{{Lifeline}} a series of]] InteractiveFiction mobile games, and the American title of the Platform/PlayStation2 game ''VideoGame/OperatorsSide''. Especially confusing as both games involve remotely guiding another character to escape with directions, and the person you need to guide in both ''Operator's Side'' and the first mobile game is a passenger on a space station.
236	* ''Lifelight'' is either a song by Music/{{Aerosmith}} or the main theme from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.
237	* ''Life Itself'' is a [[Film/LifeItself 2014 biopic]] about Creator/RogerEbert, and a 2018 drama film by [[Series/ThisIsUs Dan Fogelman]].
238	* "Life on Mars?" is a song by Music/DavidBowie. It's also the title of a [[Series/LifeOnMars2006 television programme]] named after it, and the title of [[Series/LifeOnMars2008 another television programme]] named after both the above.
