Lawvere and Schanuel, in discussing isomorphisms as divisors, point
out that there are several maps in a movie:
names of characters -> characters on screen
characters on screen -> actors in film
actors in film -> professional names of cast
and add that:

Having had the misfortune to see "The Fast and the Furious", I must
remark that it also contains some category theoretical content, for,
at the end of that film, they add another link to the chain of
isomorphisms, displaying only the map:
cars driven by characters -> professional names of cast
