* ''Film/KillBill'': The Bride is shown framed in the door of the chapel mirroring the famous final shot of film. Also, after the battle with Elle, the door slams shut after The Bride leaves, again, also like the final shot of the film.
* ''Film/TheLoneRanger'': The attack on the ranch by fake Comanches is identical to the attack on the Edwards ranch including the birds being flushed as a warning.
* ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'': The massacre of the [=McBain=] family by Frank's men is homage to the Comanche attack on the Edwards farmstead. The ending of where Harmonica and Cheyenne move on rather than join modern society also echoes the famous ending of the film
* Franchise/StarWars:
** ''[[Film/StarWarsANewHope A New Hope]]'': The scene of Luke returning to his destroyed Tatooine farmstead and the charred remains of his aunt and uncle courtesy of the Storm Troopers is a mirror of Ethan discovering the aftermath of the Comanche attack on his family's farmstead.
** ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'': The brief montage of Anakin going out to look for his missing mother, who had been kidnapped by Tusken Raiders, and his massacre of the Tuskan Raider village is another ShoutOut to the film. Some of Tatooine's landscape is even designed to look like Monument Valley.
** ''Film/RogueOne'': The opening scenes of the film mirrors scenes from the film: the piggy-tailed character of character Jyn is hidden by her parents when their homestead is attacked by Imperials in the same way Debbie is saved by her parents when they are attacked by the Comanches.
*''Film/TaxiDriver'': Travis Bickle is considered to be a [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece then-modernized urban update]] of Ethan Edwards, per his creators Creator/PaulSchrader and Creator/MartinScorsese. One of the plotlines of the film with Travis wanting to rescue Iris, a child prostitute, from her pimp, "Sport", was regarded to be a transplanting the basic premise of ''The Searchers'' from the 1870s Texas to 1970s New York City. They also gave Travis cowboy boots and "Sport" some Indian feathers on his hat to further link the two films.
