• It's probably best not to confuse Rifts (that ultra-eclectic postapocalyptic tabletop game) with Rift (that MMO involving a conflict between blind faith and reckless science and dragon-things tearing big holes in the world). There's already been a minor legal fuss over it, after all.
• Riot are a band from New York City whose Fire Down Under has been referred to as the first speed metal album.

• Rush, the Canadian Progressive Rock trio, have had at one point to remind Rush, the American conservative talk show host, to not use their music with this as justification. And if any of these are related to Rush, a 1991 crime drama taking place in Texas, it'd be a surprise. Also, people looking in record shops for music by the prog group have reportedly been annoyed at having to wade through Jennifer Rush albums in their search.
  • Rush, the 2013 Ron Howard docudrama about a '70s Formula 1 rivalry.

  • In fact, the existence of the ABC show prevented NBC from using the desired title until 1976, which is why the first two seasons of the REAL Saturday Night Live shorten the title to "Saturday Night", and also why they say "Live, from New York, it's Saturday Night!" at the beginning of each episode.

• Shivers is a survival horror game by Sierra, and a 1975 film by David Cronenberg.
• There's Silent Hill the survival horror game series by Konami, and then there's the Christmas and completely non-horror song "Silent Hill" in DanceDanceRevolution, which is also a Konami series.
