* ''Film/LawAbidingCitizen'': The dash is missing from "Law-Abiding" to show that it's the law abiding the citizen, not the other way around.



* The title of the 1974 movie ''Film/BlackChristmas1974'', despite some accusations of racism (directed more towards [[Film/BlackChristmas2006 the remake]]), is a pun on the ultrafamous Christmas song ' ''White'' Christmas'.

* ''Film/SisterAct''. The term was originally a vaudeville expression for a performance by two or more sisters in the biological sense (for some reason "brother act" never caught on the same way). The movie repurposes the term to refer to nuns, but the play on words went right over most viewers' heads since the vaudeville era was a distant memory by the 90's when the movie came out.

* ''Film/HowToGetAheadInAdvertising'' has a FunWithHomophones kinda pun. To get ahead and to get a head. Dennis wants to get ahead in his career (he works in advertising) but instead he gets a head: a boil shaped like his head grows on his shoulder.

* The BigBad of ''Film/KamenRiderZeroOneRealXTime'' sets one hour countdown before the world ends. The plot of the movie is also resolved in just a bit over an hour, with the [[ExactTimeToFailure timer showing up occasionally]]. In other words... the movie is moving in [[RealTime ''REAL×TIME'']].
* ''Film/LoveBites'' based on a saying synonymous with LoveHurts and one of the couple being a vampire. (The phrase is also British English for what Americans call a "hickey".)
