Sweden had plans for making its own nuclear weapons but never made reality of them.

In The Empire Strikes Back there is a potato hidden in the asteroid field

In Return of the Jedi there is a tennis shoe hidden among the rebel fleet

And the mothership in Close Encounters of the Third Kind is supposed to have a replica of the Empire State Building with King Kong on top of it. I have tried to look for it but haven't been able to confirm.

No, I don't think so. Sweden has all the possiblities though: we have nuclear power and our own uranium sources, so it would be quite possible to do.

In Redondo Beach, Calif., a police officer arrested a driver after a short chase and charged him with drunk driving. Officer Joseph Fonteno's suspicions were aroused when he saw the white Mazda MX-7 rolling down Pacific Coast Highway with half of a traffic-light pole, including the lights, lying across its hood. The driver had hit the pole on a median strip and simply kept driving. According to Fonteno, when the driver was asked about the pole, he said, "It came with the car when I bought it."

They were more than just plans. Our first nuclear plant was designed with nuclear weapons in mind--they were supposed to produce plutonium at one point, if I remember it correctly. The decision not to go ahead was political; we had both the technology and the know-how.

The Volvo 850 was the first car in the world with a 5 cylinder transverse engine. Thanks to that it also has a very short transmission.
