Just look at Castlevania. You could totally tell they put a bunch of 30's horror films on VHS and got ideas from that. Or that Simon Belmon's design is clearly taken from King Conan from the prolog of the Conan film.

Why does Simon Belmont have a little headband thingie? Because its derived from King Conan's crown!

One thing to note is that Simon Belmont's design seems to come from Conan The Barbarian film. Yet again, we see Arnold Swartzenegger influencing game design.
