  Minifigs from licensed sets are made to look like their license counterparts, so there are some there, most notably Star Wars [Mace Windu](http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/search/?query=Mace%20Windu) and [Lando Calrissian](http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/search/?query=lando%20calrissian) which have both been made in 4 different versions.
  
  There's also one in Prince of Persia: [Seso](http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/?m=pop011), and maybe you can count the [gunner zombie](http://www.brickset.com/minifigs/search/?query=gunner%20zombie) from Pirates of the Carribean.
  
  As for non-licensed sets, I don't see any other than the NBA ones.
