(Yep, this post is short-and-sweet. Feeling a bit under the weather. I’m not saying it’s swine flu or anything, but it’s at least some sort of barnyard varietal.)

Road Trip with Breckin Meyer is a FLAGRANT rip-off of Overnight Delivery with Paul Rudd. Not sure why more people haven’t realized that…

Turistas was a shameless ripoff of Hostel. But perhaps the worst shameless ripoff…Indiana Jones and the Something Stupid About a Crystal Skull is a terrible ripoff of the entire Indiana Jones series.

Transmorphers! Robots…(not)…in…disguise…?

I’m not 100% sure it can count as a ripoff of the movie since it came out a month before Transformers, but it’s DEFINITELY a rip off of the entire idea behind it. Horrible, and obvious!

Lake Placid. A giant (fill in the blank) starts eating people. Like that’s never been done before?
But Batty White makes it all worthwhile.

Whoops I mean Betty

Well now all I can think of is benjamin button being ripping off forest gump haha
um..my favorite rip off…hmm I guess I’d have to go with A Moment to Remember. It’s a Koren movie with basically the same plot as The Notebook, but a younger version.

I highly suggest you watch that. It seems they ripped off both Spiderman AND Captain America.. and did to.. hilariously. Probably one of the best ripoff not-meant-to-be-a-spoof movies ever.

wrong turn was a shameless rip off of the hills have eyes… they just changed the state. good thing i loved them both!

the lion king, which i think was the early 90’s, was a big rip off of hamlet. great drama works in any setting i guess

I would have to say that Wanted was a bit of a Matrix ripoff. Not too much but just enough to make me go “hmm…”
April 28th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
’simply irresistible’ (late 90s) was a cheesy rip-off of ‘like water for chocolate’ (early 90s), but i loved sarah michelle gellar as buffy and sean patrick flanery in ‘boondock saints’

Quarantine certainly isn’t my favorite movie, but it’s a shameless rip-off of Spanish horror film [Rec] (2007).

lulz it would seem @VagabondClown has just discovered the magic of films made by The Asylum.
April 29th, 2009 at 7:09 am
Crank and Crank 2 are a blatant ripoff of Doc Brown getting shocked in Back to the Future.
April 29th, 2009 at 9:50 am
While I kind of liked ‘The Departed’ it was a ripoff of a better Chinese movie called ‘Internal Affairs’

Snakes on a Plane was a rip off of Anaconda. How do we make snakes even more scary was what the producers probably asked?
April 29th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Starship Troopers was not necessarily a ripoff of Aliens, but it was close enough. Whatever, I loved both movies.
April 29th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Well, Deep Blue Sea is pretty much a ripoff of Jaws. There’s sometimes a fine line between “remake”, “ripoff”, and “reimagining”… but that’s definitely along the ripoff lines.
April 29th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Oh damn I was gonna say Deep Blue Sea. Well it totally is, anyway. Big shark eats people.
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 pm
spaceballs and star wars? okay not so much a rip off, just a parody but that is some good stuff.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Equilibrium was equal parts Matrix and Fahrenheit 451. That plot didn’t have anything even remotely original in it. Still entertaining though.

Winner = Nickolai!
