== Film ==

=== ''[[w:Argo_(2012_film)|Argo]]'' ===

* As [[w:John_Chambers|John Chambers]] ([[w:John_Goodman|John Goodman]]) and another colleague walk to their production office for the fake movie ''[[w:Canadian_Caper|Argo]]'', four actors are outside of the Burbank Studios Producer's Building near or sitting upon a bench on a break: two extras standing in Centurion costumes, one seated extra in a Command Centurion costume, and one seated performer in a Colonial Warrior [[battle suit]] costume, with their helmets off but nearby. 
** The "[[w:Canadian_Caper|Canadian Caper]]" took place in September 1979 through January 1980, after the [[Original Series]] had wrapped production. As such, this scene is a bit of an anomaly, but could be attributed to said performers filming for ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' or being [[Universal Studios]] park "Streetmosphere" walk-arounds, both making use of costumes from the cancelled series.
* In the same scene, a close-up of two Centurion helmets on the bench are given a close-up before panning left two their owners. 

=== ''[[w:Airplane II: The Sequel|Airplane II: The Sequel]]'' ===
*The music at the beginning of the movie is the ''Battlestar Galactica'' theme music.
*The theme music is played again during the shuttle launch.

*A 1992 pornographic film lampooning the Original Series.

*During the episode "[[w:Steel (The A-Team)|Steel]]" of ''The A-Team'', the A-Team attends a television convention. While there, a man in a [[Cylon Centurion]] suit walks past Face, who turns with a look of surprise on his face.

*''Space Mutiny'' was also shown in an episode and the DVD made note of its use of ''Battlestar Galactica'' footage. Ironically, there are no jokes made on this. As writer/actor [[w:Paul Chaplin|Paul Chaplin]] reflects: "We got a lot of Internet comment on how we didn't joke about how this movie used the ''Battlestar Galactica'' ship for the exteriors, and I have to admit, in retrospect we didn't joke about that at all. To quote the jury foreman at the end of ''[[w:The Producers (1968 film)|The Producers]]'': of this charge we are, in fact, incredibly guilty."<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.mst3kinfo.com/aceg/8/820/ep820.html|title=Episode 820 - Space Mutiny|date=|accessdate=20 November 2009|last=Chaplin|first=Paul|format=|language=English}}</ref>

=== ''[[w:Homeworld|Homeworld]]'' ===
*The computer game ''Homeworld'' revolves around a race of people who were exiled from their homeworld by a cruel empire to a distant desert planet many thousands of years ago. After their planet of exile is obliterated by their ancient enemy the survivors take to the stars on a long and perilous journey across the galaxy in search of their ancient homeworld, Hiigara.

However, the project was changed to be more generic, due to unknown reasons. The "flying saucers" in the game are actually Cylon [[Raider (TOS)|Raider]]s, since they did not change graphics; this change is mostly imperceivable, due to the lack of detail that could be used in graphics of the platforms of that era.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.digitpress.com/library/interviews/interview_hal_finney.html|title=Digital Press' interview with Hal Finney|date=|accessdate=17 October 2007|last=|first=|format=|language=}}</ref>
