* {{Slasher movie}} fans are known for [[FandomRivalry endlessly debating]] whether ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' or ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' is the better series, which eventually led to the {{crossover}} ''Film/FreddyVsJason'' so that fans could finally see [[HypotheticalFightDebate who would win in a fight between Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees]]. In reality, the creators of both franchises were good friends and close colleagues: ''Friday the 13th'' creator Sean S. Cunningham produced Creator/WesCraven's directorial debut ''Film/TheLastHouseOnTheLeft'', and the writers of Craven's ''Film/{{Scream}}'' cited ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'' as a major influence. The creative teams of both franchises are also apparently friendly with the team behind the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' films (the third of the "Big Three" slasher franchises); Sean S. Cunningham's protégé Steve Miner (who directed the [[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 second]] and [[Film/FridayThe13thPartIII third]] ''Friday the 13th'' movies) even went on to direct ''Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater'' in 1998.

* In the late Victorian/Edwardian era, the wireless telegraphy companies Marconi International Marine (British) and American Marconi Company had a friendly if intense rivalry. This was contrasted with the truly bitter rivalry the two shared with Telefunken, the German equivalent. (Apparently the Compagnie Generale Telegraphique of France made a point of being Very French and simply avoided contacting other wireless companies altogether, except in an emergency.)
