10 Movies You Didn't Know Were Connected

Hollywood is just one big tangled web.

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, hieroglyphics in the tomb show the ancient Egyptians had encountered Star Wars droids, so both Indiana Jones and ET exist in the Star Wars universe.

[LordGaelik]

Trading places and Coming to America. The 2 rich, old guys from Trading Places, are now Bums in Coming to America.

The Firefly / Alien connection goes deeper...
The "Betty", the ship from Alien Resurrection, is docked near the Serenity in the pilot episode of Firefly.

[SerLou]

I remember hearing the Schmit line from the First Avenger and immediately thought of Raiders

[duozero]

Mal Firing the Gun with the WY logo is from the Firefly Pilot episode called Serenity not the Serenity movie but the connection still works

[timleber]

The Rick Moranis & Steve Martin movie My Blue Heaven is a sequel to Goodfellas. They are both based on the Henry Hill autobiography.

One example is missing: "Trading Places" and "Coming to America". Both great comedies!

Not a Movie But The Simpsons and Duckman loved that show Duckman sooo good RIP Everett Peck

The whole Punisher in Spiderman 2 thing was actually because of Kevin Fridge. That was indeed the original intent. Feige was a producer on all the early Marvel films. Even as far back as that he was attempting to create a shared Marvel universe. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was even suppose to make a cameo in the previous film. Unfortunately he couldn't get the studios to play ball.

The tie in between Raiders of the Lost Ark & Captain America: The First Avenger is my fave in this list.

[Paul_Simon]

Didn't know or hear of most of these, so be they fan theory or real, I really liked this one! Thanks!!

Firefly and Battlestar Galactica are also connected. When Laura Roslin is in her doctor's off (around time stamp 14:44 of the first episode), through the ceiling window, you can see a firefly class ship landing in the background.

[hostileX]

The idea that E.T. is secretly a Jedi Master makes me act up.

[theroosterbooster]

I thought pretty much everyone knew the Star Wars and ET connection.

[FordPrefict]

If memory serves, Tarzan's parents were also present in Frozen.

[adammoran]

What about The transporter and Collateral??

[Darxide]

"I'm going to put this easter egg from that other movie in my movie. It doesn't mean anything, but it will make a bunch of idiots think the movies are connected and I think it's hilarious." - Directors, probably

[robertfalcon]

You missed coming to america and trading places!!!! That one is my fave!!

…The Detective (1968)…Die Hard (1988)…technically part of the same universe and Frank Sinatra had to be offered the part of John McLane…

[noman]

Val Verde is actually a real city in California. And the 'Commando'-'Die Hard' connection goes further because Franco Nero's dictator character makes a reference to the 'previous' dictator [which would be Dan Hedaya's character from 'Commando']
