10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Movies
4. Iron Sky
Over the years, Doctor Who has explored countless alternate histories and parallel worlds, most of them with rather grim consequences for humanity.
The 2012 action flick Iron Sky did something similar, cranking up the crazy and telling a story about a group of Nazis who survived World War II and fled to the moon (which isn't an egg). Over the decades, these Nazis built a fleet of ships, and used them to attack Earth in 2018. It's truly insane stuff.
Somehow, things get even more insane when you realize that time travel might also exist within the Iron Sky universe, as evidenced by the easy-to-miss sight of a TARDIS, which can be seen in the background of Earth's own fleet.
Commenting on this TARDIS cameo, one of Iron Sky's writers apparently took to Reddit a few months after its release, contrasting the film's "Space Nazis" concept with the Doctor Who episode Let's Kill Hitler:
"When Let's Kill Hitler came out I was scared to death Moffat might out-do us with Space Nazis only a few months before Iron Sky comes out. I'm still incredibly happy he didn't... but kind of disappointed at the same time."
Steven Moffat accused of playing it safe? Never thought we'd see the day.
