I remember reading a recap / review of a comedy film I think was from some time in the 2000s, and given the snarky nature of the site, probably a flop with poor critical reviews. A minor character is depicted as a nerd with Perverse Sexual Lust for Seven Of Nine, which becomes plot relevant somehow - but the strange thing that the recap points out is that the character is mentioned by name in dialogue more than once, but at one point they cut to a supposed picture of her that the nerd character is ogling and it's just a stock photo of a generic Green-Skinned Space Babe: the review didn't speculate on an explanation, but I imagine the filmmakers couldn't get the rights to the character and/or actress' likeness, and it was either too late to rewrite or re-dub dialogue to refer to some fictional, in-universe science fiction character instead, or they just didn't care enough to do so.
