AIRPLANE!
Robert Stack in the movie Airplane! performs a decent kotegaishi on a Hare Krishna (or is it Scientologist?) when confronted in the airport. The uke's high fall helps the look, but at least Bobby's back was straight and his elbows were in. Comedy Aikido.

Check out a horrible martial arts B movie called China O'Brian starring Cynthia Rothrock. Within the first twenty minutes you will see her use some Aikido techniques and even call them out by name.
Also, there's another MA B movie that stars Kathy Long as a "Woman Without a Name" Clint Eastwoodish, westernish, biker.

Surely the best MA film is Bad Day at Black Rock with Spenser Tracy

I just saw "The Bourne Identity" and I think I saw a Ushiro Katatori Sankyo at one point. Of course after freeing himself from the hold the guy kicks the snot out of the grabber and other 3 or 4 dudes just like in all the other fight scenes. It looked a lot more like jujutsu to me but then again I'm no jujutsu expert.

I stumbled upon an episode of 'Chicago Hope' where one of the characters (black fellow - I think his name is Dennis) subdues a troublesome patien by grabbing his hand and doing what seemed a bit like a short form of kote-gaeshi (no flip though - he just used the lock to push the guy to the ground backwards). It was a bit hard to se, since the camera was more interested in the guys faces than their hands.

Seagal's ACKNOWLEDGED style is TenShinKai Aikido? In fact, he TEACHES it, too.

Doesn't Nina use a lot of other styles mixed in? Some of her grabs I know are from aikido, but she has a lot of kicking and jabbing manuvers...are those aikido or something they added in so she wouldn't be such a defensive character? (BTW, Nina+Xiayou=wicked team in Tekken Tag)

Actually the choreography credit goes to "Steve Seagal"; same person, different name.
A small detail from a person who appreciates small details.
