Parts Shop Appliances World Grand Prix racecars In the overall franchise Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009 film) Dawn of the Dead 2004 (the ones who make it to the boat anyway) Despicable Me Dumbo - The Crows Dungeons and Dragons (the film nobody liked) Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of The Dragon God (the sequel barely anybody liked) Finding Nemo - The Tank Gang The Fugitive: The U.S. Marshals Galaxy Quest: A special case, in which a Five-Man Band of actors play a Five-Man Band of characters in a Space Opera series, most of them occupying a different slot on the show than they do offscreen. * Note: Louis Tully was the Sixth Ranger in Ghostbusters II. Grease: The T-Birds The Pink Ladies in the first film The Pink Ladies in Grease 2 (They are The Chicks) Happily Ever After - The Dwarfelles * Note: N.B. Saito's the sixth man in this group, and is referred to as "The Tourist." At least, Ariadne is more positive aspects of this trope.

In-universe example: Fox Force Five in Pulp Fiction Rango Rebuild of Evangelion seems to be building up to this, although a lack of interaction between pilots makes it difficult to determine the exacts yet, and it is possible an additional pilot will be introduced to further mix things up. Reservoir Dogs Rio Bravo: The Sandlot Star Wars (original trilogy) A straight example from A New Hope: A new one emerges during The Empire Strikes Back with the Falcon Crew: During The Phantom Menace: And during episodes II and III: Street Fighter (1994) Toy Story series - Andy's Toys who eventually merge with Bonnie's Toys * Note: Barbie is Molly's doll who eventually merge with Sunnyside Daycare Toys that Ken stops her from the garbage truck.
