In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, Ron uses a spell with a green glow — this is the visualization of the unforgivable curse, Avada Kedavra. None of the main characters had used it in the films before. But when faced with death, Ron probably decided that it was the only way him and Hermione would survive.

One of the scenes in The Hangover is very similar to the cover of an iconic Beatles album.

In John Wick: Chapter 2, the cars near the hotel are in the exact same places as they were in the first film even though the shooting was done 3 years apart. The authors were this specific because the events of the 2 films take place within 1 week.
In his jokes, Deadpool often breaks the fourth wall and almost mocks Ryan Reynolds who plays the role. So, when his character was taken into experimental surgery, he asked, “Please, don’t make my suit green.” This was in reference to Reynolds’ role in Green Lantern.
