Trivial Pursuit
In the first movie out of the Back to the Future Trilogy, Marty starts his trip back in time in the parking lot of "Twin Pines Mall,". Immediately arriving in 1955, he hits one of 2 pine trees. When he returns to 1985, the sign now reads "Lone Pine Mall."
In 1974, a former Sacramento air traffic controller named Fred L. Worth published The Trivia Encyclopedia, which he followed in 1977 with The Complete Unabridged Super Trivia Encyclopedia, and in 1981 with Super Trivia, vol. II. The popularity of these books (one appears as a prop in movie Almost Famous) laid the groundwork for the first edition of Trivial Pursuit in the early 1980s.
When Star Wars was a farce
In Grabowiec, a village in Poland, one of the streets was named after Obi-Wan Kenobi in April 2005.
Well that was kinda more about films than anything else... I have way too much time on my hands.
