The film "On the crest of the wave" transfers us to the world of surfing, where the FBI agent is entitled under the cover of Johnny Utah to escape in the gang of bank robbers. The active lifestyle seduces him, he falls in love, and his reliability is questioned. Furious shows the Los Angeles Police officer, which is introduced into the gang of street riders. Then exactly the same thing is the same - a stormy lifestyle seduces him, he falls in love, and his reliability is questioned. The only difference is "on the crest of the wave" did not stretch on the franchise from a dozen movies.
"For a handful of dollars" (1964) - "bodyguard" (1961)
"Bodyguard" (Japanese tape Akira Kurosava, not a melodrama with Whitney Houston) - a story about the samurai, masterfully owned by a sword, which provides its services with two criminal groups - became the basis for the Italian Western director Sergio Leone, who took the same plot, moved the action On the Wild West and replaced the samurai by the Machika Arrow of the Clint East. The producers of the "bodyguard", as a result, won the court, proving that "for a hassle of dollars" copies the plot of the "bodyguard".
"Avatar" (2009) - "Dancing with Wolves" (1990)
"Avatar" was a huge technical achievement, but we have already seen this plot earlier, just not on some distant planet. "Dancing with wolves" is a lonely soldier who slowly conquers the recognition of the Siou tribe. He learns their lifestyle, falls in love and fights for them against their people. Sounds familiar? The "last samurai" also used this storyline.
"Tags" (2006) - "Dr. Hollywood" (1991)
"Dr. Hollywood" - about a cool doctor from Los Angeles, whose car is divided into the province, then he becomes its inhabitant and falls in love with the girl. With the hero of Tachek, the same thing happens, except that he is not a man, but a car, but this is the right, such trifles.
"Paranoia" (2007) - "Window to the Yard" (1954)
The youth thriller "Paranoia" with Shay Labafe almost repeats the plot of the "windows to the courtyard" - a bored man, locked in his house, watches people into the window and notes a suspicious neighbor who can be a killer. Details, however, have been changed so much that the producers successfully avoided the claim.
"Fatal attraction" (1987) - "Play me before death" (1971)
"Play me before dying" with the clint of Ostivo - a film about DJ, who spent the night with a fan and regretted it much when she began to pursue him - became the basis for the 1987 blockbuster, which turned out to be even more extreme and much more sexy. The place of action from California moves to New York, and the pursuer became even smarter, more beautiful and more. Picture with Michael Douglas and Glenn Clowz received 6 nominations for Oscar.
"Thunder days" (1990) - "The best shooter" (1986)
In his review, the famous film critic Roger Ebert outlined the essence of the "Cruise Pictures". Briefly - this is when the entire plot is spinning around the hero of Tom Cruise - a young, talented guy who can become even better if only "touches his brown moral." Actually, about this "Thunder days", "the best arrows", and a couple of films (according to Eberta).
"In search of galaxy" (1999) - "Three Amigos!" (1986)
Both films are great, but the producers "in search of the Galaxy" borrowed the storyline "Actors, mistakenly adopted for real heroes" at the heroes of Steve Martin, Chevi Chaise and Martin Short in the classic Comedy of 1986.
Ecstasy (1999) - "Criminal Chivo" (1994)
Ecstasy copies the feeding of the narration in the indifference manner, which leads to a shocking junction. The film turned out to be quite good, Ecstasy remains the favorite of the fans of the films of the 90s, but in comparison with the masterpiece Tarantino, of course, fades.
"Star Wars: Awakening of Power" (2015) - "Star Wars: Episode 4 - New Hope" (1977)
This member of our list is a unique case, since here, in fact, the sequel copies the original - but similarities are too obvious. Judge for yourself: And in that, in another film, the most important mystery is stored in the droid's memory, and the hero involuntarily turns his defender and falls into the world, which did not believe the existence.
