Movie comparisons that blow your mind
Movies that are similar to other movies (to the point that one is almost-definitely directly inspired from the other). You didn't even make the connection until someone pointed it out to you.
I just caught a dreadful abortion of an anime called Samurai 7. It's based on Sevent Samurai, except all the characters are different and there's a ton of robots. Yeah... So I looked it up to see what the fuck, and in the discussions (where way too many people like this anime shit) a revelation brought on by a random post. A Bug's Life = Seven Samurai. Now post yours! |
friday the 13th part Y = friday the 13th part Z
cant think of any more right now :/ |
i saw Days Of Thunder on TV just now, and the plotline is used on so many other movies, but I can't remember a single one right now.
|
lion king = macbeth
|
Chronicles Of Riddick = The Scorpion King

And the dead father's spirit visits the son, yes.
Romeo and Juliet = West Side Story But that one's a little more obvious. |
The Jungle Book (live action version)=Tarzan (Disney version)

Haha, the Bug's Life one is gold.
Only thing I can think of is Throne of Blood and Macbeth. But that dawned on me as I was watching it, so it wasn't one of those "oh shit" hindsight things. And it's pretty much a direct adaptation, so I don't know if it counts. |
re
Road Trip = The Odyssey
This is not an endorsement of Road Trip. The Lord of the Rings is Tolkien one-uping Macbeth (ie. the Witch King's death). |
In another comparison of Shakespeare to Disney, Pocahontas is also strikingly similar to Romeo and Juliet.
|
another one on the seven samurai was the Magnificent Seven
Samurai= cowboys i didnt get it at first but then my mom pointed it out |
That one is more of a remake though (I think a fairly blatant one, too), so it doesn't count.
|
so is lion king then
|
freddy got fingered = clash of the titans

Little Indian Big City = Jungle to Jungle :/

Monkey Island (ok it not a movie) = pirates of the caribbean
when i first saw will turner in the first one all i could think was "im selling these fine leather jackets..." and from the look of the trailer for the new one there is a voodoo lady dispensing advice... |
go bot=transformers
|
The three musketeers = Dogtanian and the three muskehounds
:eek |
