7 Things Games Stole Shamelessly from Movies
Вставка

- Movies get their ideas from all kinds of places, including videogames, so it's only fair that games are ripping off movies with the kind of shameless abandon of a kid borrowing some else’s homework four minutes before it’s due. Consider seven of our favourite examples. Subscribe to Outside Xbox for a video like this every Thursday!
The first Dead Rising game, for instance, was launched in 2006 and trapped photojournalist Frank West in a zombie-filled shopping complex with only his wits and a mall’s worth of consumer goods to save him.
It’s uncannily similar to George A Romero’s classic zombie movie Dawn of the Dead. This didn’t escape the notice of the Dawn of the Dead rights holders, who were of the opinion that Dead Rising had ripped off the movie, and threatened to sue Capcom back in 2008.
The suit was eventually settled in favour of Capcom, when it was deemed Dead Rising had none of the social commentary that distinguishes Dawn of the Dead. Oh snap, Dead Rising.

I get Dawn of The Dead getting upset about Dead Rising but you can't very well trademark zombies in a mall.
Zombies in a mall, in a mall,
Zooooombies in a mall.
Da na na na na na
Patrick Long - “Zombies in a Mall is filmed in front of a live studio audience”
Considering that the entire concept of the flesh eating zombie is entirely from Romero, he probably could if he'd known trademark law wouldn't count the car that moving across the screen and hadn't let the original movie go into public domain instantly.
(Zombies as the actual voodoo concept don't do flesh eating, just eternal servitude to a magic person)
Yeah their summary of the suit defense is a bit jaded. The actual defense was that the similarities between the game and movie pretty much ended at "zombies in a mall".
All good comments.
"Many simple house hold objects CAN be used for murder!"-Jane 2018
Anything can be used for murder if you're creative enough
Justice Graceful from personal experience yes
Btw this is a joke
Your Kitchen is an Armory if you know what you're doing.
The “xenomorph” in Resident Evil 4 was way more distinct than the examples you’ve mentioned before. In fact, that particular creature has the mouth of a predator.
It's really cool that Carpenter stopped that lawsuit against Kojima. Too often, execs get away with abusing copyright laws to bully creative people.
"Our game isn't a rip off of that movie because our game is way more superficial" is certainly an interesting legal defence to take
Yeah, "you win this lawsuit because you're too dumb to properly copy the original" is the best backhanded compliment in gaming.
To be fair there's precedent for similar ideas not being "Theft".
Also they were basically attempting to say 'You stole our general setting", and generic settings are technically not copyrightable. Otherwise any action movie set in a city would be infringing on any other action movie set in a city.
Like Michael Bay making a rip-off of Metal Gear and winning a lawsuit from Konami because his version is full of poop jokes instead of long-winded monologues about philosophy.
yeah the actual legal defense was that the similarities ended at "zombies in a mall". It just didn't have the actual plot or characters of the movie. The ruling was phrased in a snarky way, but what the judge was saying was that the game didn't use the setting in the same way as the movie.
I mean, zombies are fair enough... then a mall does seem like a nice setting. Perfect to have nonsensical weapons and people.
The cover of “Metal Gear” on the NES used a pic of Kyle Reese from Terminator
Actually it's Hicks from Aliens, And the actor's name is Michael Biehn. But he did also play Kyle Reese so you're correct.
Personal Persona ACKTUALLY!
That Res Evil 4 ripoff looks more like the lovechild of a Xenomorph and Predator. 0.0
Ah that explains the Alien v Predator movies. They were in a custody battle.
Star fox 64. In the mission where you protect Bill's home base the entire mission is a straight ripoff of the Independence Day battle scene. Even the boss fight was straight up ripped. And if you fail to protect the base the mothership destroys it the same way a building with alien lovers got destroyed in the movie.
Battle Toads wasnt a bad game, it was just soul shatteringly difficult for it's time, particularly for a game aimed at kids
Came to the comments to say this.
Now do it in reverse! Things movies stole shamelessly from videogames
Oooh, not a bad idea
#1: The entirety of Ready Player One
#2: The staggering number of sci-fi films that have stolen from Mass Effect.
@@Dentere That's a book tho...
@@zenriboakwon2921 Yea but the book did not have nearly as many pop culture references as The movie. The movie is a bit more modernized.
“Thomas Anderson. Whoa!”
Love the sneaky reference
Im suprised call of duty stalingrad intro wasn't on here since it is an exact copy of the intro to enemy at the gate, like literally almost done in the exact same way scene by scene.
Another fun fact about the name iroquois pliskin, is that the name iroquois translates to rattlesnake. His name literally translates to Snake Pliskin. How Kojima got away with that lawsuit is just as baffling as how Snake got away with that fake name
He made friends with the director. It's not how obvious the rip off is..... It's how drunk you can get one of the owners some night so you have decent leverage (jkjkjk)
He probably showed him all the good sights in Japan ;) And filmed him seeing them lol
Or to put it differently, it's not stealing if the "victim" allows it.
kojima is GOD in the MGS universe, after all.
You say it's baffling yet they literally explain in the video how he got away with it.
Hearing Luke swear is like seeing a kitten eat their deceased owner. You know it's physically possible, but disturbing nonetheless.
wait, when did he swears
3:10
you know after i watched it again i'm confused by how i didn't notice that. Thanks by the way
How does a kitten eat its deceased owner, anyway? One bite at a time, my friends, one bite at a time...
1979 was a great year.
Are we just going to ignore the fact that Whiterun in Skyrim is basically just Edoras from LotR
Christopher Rahoche yes
Now that you mention it that's true
@@Fortniteloverepic Ya don't say...
That's nothing compared to Underworld 6: Dawnguard lol
Sounds like imperial propaganda
Fun Fact: The TMNT were based off of the Marvel superhero DareDevil. They gained their abilities from toxic waste, trained under a martial arts master (one named stick the other named splinter), fight ninja clans ( the hand and the foot for tmnt) and are New York based characters.
They were created in the same accident too.
Based off? They were intended as a parody but later became serious business. Also the mileage they got out of that same toxic waste spill spawning many characters in the TMNT universe is ridiculous.
Lethas the Bold I know it’s a parody but since they’ve become serious characters I thought based off was a better term.
@@MorinehtarTheBlue I mean, they did. It is originally canonical that they came from the same truck's barrels of waste in the event. Its ridiculous but true 🤷♀️
It isn't canonical because they never had the rights to the character to do that without getting sued. Thus they had to use an expy. On top of that Mutagen a.k.a the Ooze is no longer simply toxic waste and it has it's own lore with specific properties.
And saying canon when even TMNT has a couple continuities to choose from is fairly silly. I'd also point out that I was arguing about terminology and conceptual derivation. So your implying a contradiction that does not, in fact, exist.
11:02 in your defense, Raiden's Codename prior to that exact moment in MGS 2 where he's rechrisstened Raiden...was Snake.
"Dead Rising doesn't contain any of the social commentary of Dawn of the Dead" Capcom had to be like "uhhh gee, thanks".
When all Jane says about the similarities is that they have zombies in a mall, that's not exactly praising the quality of Dawn of the Dead's social commentary.
"Your game isn't a rip-off because it sucks." lol
dead rising is a silly game im pretty sure capcom knows this
Well, technically it doesn't. It contains its own social commentary.
Honorable mention to Daredevil when the owners of teenage super mutant ninja turtles said they existed in the marvel universe and got mutated from the same chemical spill that made daredevil go "blind"
That's where the problem lies. If a franchise originates outside of cinema then, unless you are using an idea unique to the movie, it isn't ripped off from the film.
Battle toads isn't notoriously bad, just hard, I've never heard anyone call it bad before.
It wasn't unfair, it is however broken in the worse emulators (snes9x/zsnes) where the timing in some levels is wrong and makes the game much harder. (on clinger winger it's most apparent, as on snes9x that thing follows your ass so close you can't even make a single mistake, it does NOT do that on hardware) On the actual NES it wasn't really much harder than most other NES games. A lot of people unfortunately only know it emulated and assume that's how it's supposed to play.
@@1Raptor85 actually no. i played it in the nes and snes days. it was a brutally hard game.
It's also basically impossible 2 players. Battletoads is fun but only single player imo.
It gets a certain amount of pseudo-respect for being hard, but people who can look past the nostalgia goggles can tell that it's just a shitty game. It's hard because it's unfair and poorly designed.
I don't believe it is a shitty game and I've lifted my nostalgia goggles i remember struggling but always owning my failures. Heck i wish I had a copy and the components I'm missing for my nes to play it.
Pretty much every mission in GTA V recreates a part of a different movie action sequence
"Even the yoga?"
Especially the yoga.
And to stay in the Rockstar family, I'm fairly certain there is a mission in Read Dead Redemption that takes a lot from the Wild Bunch.

Jane Douglas also stars as the Jane death laser, the best character in the series
Tuesday the 10th.
I can watch her all day 😍
So. They mention that Burning Fight ripped off Hulk Hogan but not that Final Fight ripped off Andre the Giant. With several different characters. Surnamed Andore. They weren’t even being subtle about it.
They also failed to mention that Alex from Street Fighter 3 was based upon Hulk Hogan right down to his rivalry with Andre the Giant/Hugo Andore.
As a huge TMNT fan, I was also a fan of Battletoads. I was a fan of anthropomorphic animal badasses, because I also liked Biker Mice from Mars, and that Shark cartoon I can't recall the name of. Battletoads meets Double Dragon or whatever the name was, was one of my favorite games. I was also huge fan of Double Dragon way before I heard of Battletoads.
Street Sharks, I do believe.
Hey I didn't rip off that kids homework, we just had similar answers! And handwriting. And names.
Caitlin RC my sister and i had the same initials as a pair of brothers in our respective grades, so we'd often get the wrong work credited or returned to us.
Well, the if the Alien has Predators head it counts as fair use.
He missed obvious Karate-Kid influence in Street Fighter, though.
Caitlin RC your name is John?
Clearly you won the bossfight against the chair, since you are sitting on it.
Unless it’s the one that has a hole in it where a marital aid rocks back and forth.
WTF? Out of all the Xenomorph rip offs in games you chose the one that looks least like a Xenomorph? Any of the previous examples you listed were multitudes better than the one you actually chose.
I think because they choose this because capcom tried to hide the thing they copied, unlike the one they show which is pretty obvious, the Re4 one isnt
@Zack Smith its lanky and black. ItS jUSt lIkE tHE xEnOmoRph!
But they were literally.....mentioned 😂
You should see how the opening to Silent Hill: Homecoming straight up rips off the hospital scene from Jacob’s Ladder.
I think it's unreasonable for intellectual property copyright to last much longer than 20 years. If that much time isn't enough for me to establish myself as the "canon" source, atleast I should let others have a go. It's fair to prevent others from posing as the original, but not from using the concept.
Fun video though, as always :)
Oh boy, time to be legally allowed to make Mickey Mouse Rule 34 then!
a great instance of this is hideo kojima has given pretty much anyone who wants to shots at remaking the first few metal gear games. he said he'd love to see what others could do with his creations.
20 years without using that IP? Sure. But twentry years since using the IP the first time? No
@@justanotheranimeprofilepic Why not? I'd be curious to hear your reasoning! :)
Consider what I would call the worst case scenario: As a 15 year old I write a short story about "Loyd, the Lord of Cats" which is published in my school news paper. I then spend the next 20 years writing more stories, commissioning artwork and perhaps manage to land a small book deal or license my work to a small-ish indie company. I meet with some success but perhaps not enough to live of it.
By the time I am 35, Disney has found out about my work, and since that first short story has now run out of copyright, they now make a big-budget movie out of that first short story, or they make their own version, but with the same characters, or their own "sequel" to my work, without paying me. They are only allowed to use that first short story and if they want to use any of the work I've made after that, they still have to pay me, or wait longer. In any case, if they are not allowed to pose as the original, but still have to give credit to me, that would still be hugely beneficial for me personally, due to the influx of new readers I would have.
Indeed, it would be annoying if the alternative was that they would have paid me, but now they don't have to. But how often would that happen anyways? However, the real benefit would be that companies couldn't hoard IP in competition with each other, but instead compete on more-or-less equal footing when it comes to popular IPs: Didn't like Disney's new Star Wars trilogy? Fine, go see some other studio's take instead.
But then, possibly 20 years is a bit short, and 30 or 40 years would be better? I don't know. My point is that it shouldn't be *much* longer than 20. Your lifetime + 70 years or whatever we're up to now is just absurd in my mind.
@@sageemerson5074 Man, if I had the wherewithal to code and write video games, I'd have given it a shot. Not that I'm huge on Kojima, he originally didn't like David Hayter because he wanted Kurt Russell(who refused) to play Snake and Hayter will always be Solid Snake to me.
If it were possible, I'm sure Kojima would base all his characters off of Snake Plisken.
On the cover of Metal Gear Nes, Snake resembled Kyle Reese from The Terminator.
and don't forget, big boss was based on sean connery. with an eyepatch.
I'm almost positive if he could Kojima would *become* Snake Plisken.
The Verdugo actually reminded me more of the creatures from Guilerimo Del Torro's Mimic, in fact a lot of RE's creature designs for and after part 4 took heavy inspiration from his work
😂 Guilerimo del Torro, I'm sorry I'm not making fun of you, i just think that name's funny. His name is Guillermo del Toro just fyi.
How about a video about games that stole songs and thought we wouldn't notice.
Thanks for all the great stuff everyone!
I think The Revenge of Shinobi should've been on this list! It had Spider man, Bat man, Terminator and Godzilla characters
Bikers Quest that’s exactly what I was thinking revenge of shinobi was the first thing I thought of when I read the title 👍
Bikers Quest Actually. SEGA got the rights to add those characters to the game. So it technically doesn’t go with this video.
And the Hulk as a boss. Rambo as one of the enemies, not to mention Sho Kosugi on the title screen!
Even though I am pretty sure that buying the t-shirt would fund Jane's doomsday device, I still might buy one.
I really enjoy outsidexbox crew chemistry you can tell they have fun at work
Okay just for the record. Battletoads was great fun and one of the few games that were fun playing with two. The ridiculous premise was part of the appeal.
I've never thought the RE4 monster was a Xenomorph... I still don't.
Samur/Aye yes the way it acts is identical at times, but it barely resembles the xenomorph in appearance.
One reference and whole franchise rip off i like the way you think.
The head is completely different.
Yes of course the monster from RE4 is such a blatant ripoff, more so than Heinrich. / sarcasm
Because it isnt lmao. I'd love to see them copyright a shiny black monster concept
Jane being Murderino makes her my favorite of my OXBox crushes, followed closely by everyone else.
Ellen all the way
Stay sexy
All of them. They're all adorable, and sweet, and funny, and wonderful, and I'm going to marry all of them, but Jane and I will have slightly more to talk about.
Also what About Johnny Cage being basically Jean Claude Van Damme from Bloodsport and I think Mortal Kombat was supposed to be called just Van Damme lol
Vampires Crypt it isn’t basically a Van Damme rip off. It is. Straight up. The creators have said that.
It was supposed to be a Van Damme game
“Tom Anderson” and then you said woah, I get it.

I wish the Street Fighter movie had ripped off the Street Fighter video game. It was a perfect chance for a movie to steal something from a video game, but the two have nothing in common.
The Street Fighter movie is a work of brilliance though. I mean, it's terrible, but brilliantly so, and Raul Julia was perfect as Bison, somehow.
Of course!!!
Well...not quite what you're aiming for, but there IS a Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game. As in, a fighting game based on the movie. And unlike the movie, which is a precious national treasure, it is shockingly awful.
They do have one thing in common - neither has anything to do with Mike Tyson.
That audio spike when talking about Jason nearly broke my earbuds .
These videos ability to have 8000 absolutely incredible classic one liners is always a thing of awe
Anyone else think that this video is a precursor to 'Die Hard but with Jane Douglas the game'?
And nothing whatsoever like Max Payne, the story of a cop in New York during winter who gets trapped in buildings by terrorists... oh wait.
I'm surprised there was no mention of the GTA series. They have ripped off a lot of crime movies with characters, locations, and sometimes even using entire scenes from those movies.
It's been a while since I've been to this channel, nice to be back 😁
“They even gave Snake an eyepatch in Metal Gear Solid 3!” Sigh...
Now you gotta do a list of games that seem like ripoffs but aren't. I'd list Terraria because it seems like everyone's first thought is that it's Minecraft, but as a sidescroller.
It's a shame that people's initial impression is that of Terraria, because aside from the fact that it has building elements, and a vaguely, (and even that's a stretch), similar art style, it's effectively nothing like Minecraft. Terraria is an action RPG that has a few building elements, with a ton of NPC interaction, bosses, and a massive variety of weapons. Minecraft, (without mods anyhow), is a building game with the bare minimum gameplay and RPG elements necessary to be classified as something slightly more in depth than playing with Legos, and it added most of those gameplay elements after Terraria had been released. Minecraft is still a ton of fun if you're in the mood for that sort of thing, or playing with mods, but it and Terraria are very different games......
Andy's shirt, ladies and gentlemen, CAN YOU DIG IT!!!?
Definitely watching that tonight, fucking great movie.
Booker T ripped off his entire shtick from that scene in The Warriors. Can we get his video game appearances worked in there some how?
Andy's Warriors t-shirt is the t-shirt I never realised I needed.
I love the idle merchant music from Resi 4, could listen to it on loop for hours.
thank you for saying what it's called, your comment is how I found the song!
I would've said the Resi 4 creature was more of a blend of the Xenomorph and Predator. I guess they must've really loved that movie.
+Madness1 ikr that was literally the first thought that came to mind when I saw it. XD
Are you implying it's strange to love those films? It's not. I just watched the original Alien this morning for the first time and I gotta say it's one bangin' film and a new favorite.
It doesn't really look like a Xenomorph. I mean, sure they have similar tails, but to be fair most alien or mutated creatures have a tail like that. Other than that, the Verdugo does not look like a Xenomorph.
@@kosaba11
He is clearly based of xenomorph and those bugs from mimic
Ghost Of War I just don’t really see a much of a similarity between verdugo and the xenomorph. But it did remind me of the predators with its strong looking body and its mouth.
MoH: Frontline opening = Saving Private Ryan
CoD: Finest Hour opening = Enemy At The Gates
Hey Andy, awesome shirt!
That chair boss fight is definitely an Evil Dead 2 homage
How about Bruce Lee in every fighting game ever?
I don't see Bruce Lee in Smash Bros... or in Playstation All-Stars... or in that weird Castlevania spin-off fighting game...
I dunno about the other games but Bruce Mii is one of the best fighters in my copy of SSB.
Maxi, Fei Long, Marshall Law and hisson, Liu Kang, and so on. Yeah Brucesploitation was real bad
DragoSonicMile Pokken Tournament too. Even the Pokémon Hitmonlee isn't actually based on Bruce Lee and only its English name refers to him. And Hitmonlee isn't even in Pokken regardless.
Only ones the could think of without him were anime themed games. 😂
the very LAST thing i thought when i saw that RE4 monster was a Xenomorph........ how did ANYONE make that comparison? this is the very first time ive heard of this, and im looking at the creature right now, and it looks NOTHING like a Xenomorph except for it's tail. that's it........ that's where the similarities begin and end...... its tail........ the fuck?
RW : V it looks more like a PredAlien, but even then you'd need to really look...
From the images that they show it looks like one from the neck down
Ur Waifu is Shit the way it’s acts in the game is definitely similar, but I just can’t really see any similarity in its appearance. It looks more like a predator than a xenomorph.
@Ur Waifu is Shit
Every time I've played the game I never though it looked like it.
To me it always looked like a insect lol and that was the point.
I was explaining to my mom the basic plot of Skyrim and she pointed out that it was similar to game of thrones, I don’t know what came first, so I don’t know who ripped off who.
As a die hard Bond fan, I got a huge kick out of that cargo plane segment in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. The Living Daylights is my favorite Bond film but it's unfortunately not well known, so when people ask, "Which Bond movie is your favorite?" and I answer, "The Living Daylights!" I'm usually met with blank stares and have to explain how Timothy Dalton's Bond was woefully underrated/underappreciated.
Fortunately, Naughty Dog know great action sequences when they see them and pay homage by incorporating said sequences into their games. Playing that incredible aerial set-piece ripped from TLD for the first time remains one of my favorite gaming memories.
Can't believe you didn't mention COD World at War ripping off basically the whole opening scene of Enemy at the Gates!
The first Call of Duty also ripped off Enemy at the Gates.
what about Marshall Law and Lei Wulong from Tekken? Definitely not based on Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, right?
i've seen at least 2 videos on video game characters obviously based on bruce lee before and i dont need to see another, pretty suce oxbox did one although i could be wrong
bit they're both dead so it's okay
Jackie Chan's alive and well unless you know something I don't
Every fighting game has a Bruce Lee lol
Since they are real people (not movie characters) I think that makes it an homage to them and their fighting style.
I love how Andy is wearing a 'Warriors' T-shirt while talking about Hard Times.
Are we not going to talk about how Revenge of Shinobi had you fighting Spiderman, Batman, Godzilla and Rambo?
Hulk Hogan-alikes appear in a LOT of '80s wrestling games, but also as a playable character in the arcade game Vendetta/Crime Fighters 2, along with look-alikes of Mike Tyson, Jean Claude Van-Damme, and Mr. T! Oh, and don't forget about "Andre the Giant's" various appearances in the Final Fight/Street Fighter series!
I beilieve the guy from Diuble Dragon was named “Bimmy.”
that monster from RE4 is not a Xenomorph it's clearly a Predalien Zombie Mutant Hybrid and that guy from Splatter House is Clearly a Venom overdosed Jason
I thought of the roach monster from Mimic
I think he looked like Death from Darksiders 2, just less grey.
venom like symbiote or venom like bane?
Hellish_Reasons Bane obviously Venom doesn't get Venom Overdose
agreed, the classic game did get the mask changed for a wooden one
Your story would have made a much better movie than Wild Wild West. Haha.
the instrumental to wild west is from "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder if that helps.
If you guys are making another one consider the opening scene in Silent Hill Homecoming. It's pretty much identical to a scene from Jacob's Ladder, from which the series is known to have drawn inspiration.
Great video, but anyone else notice how everything thing except the TMNT vs Battletoads had movies tied to them rather they had it franchise vs franchise instead of shamelessly stealing from a movie like the rest?
Actually, Guile's look is based on Stroheim from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
"Guile's hair is based off Rudol von Stroheim and body from Jean Pierre Polnareff, both are characters coming from the manga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure." -Straight from Guile's own Wikipedia article
Benimaru from KoF is also based on Polnareff.
blueeyedadela I think people forget just how old the Jojo series is.
Paul from tekken is too
I remember reading that guile originally had his hair straight up just like polnareff
Guile also gets his name from j geil who is the guy polnareff is chasing for killing his sister

@@godspeed2272 damn right!
I mean, I don't know if you're joking, but that isn't nearly as far fetched as it may seem. I've seen more obscure social commentary.
"Zombies in an American Shopping Mall" is where the similarities end. I'm glad the judge upheld the game's right.
the zangief stage is different enough. Also good idea jane.
Those things from RE4 look nothing like Xenomorphs though? That's one heck of a stretch to say they do. That's like saying every monster that's black and has a tail in any kind of media after the 70's is instantly copying Alien. Er, no.
They remind me more of the creatures from mimic but even then its bug men
How much can you do?
It does have the body and movements of a xenomorph. It's a ripoff.
@@TheFirstCurse1 Not really.
Also the camera work. That red-tinted monster POV with it running up the walls is taken directly from Alien3. Yes, I know that Alien3 didn't invent the monster POV shot, but the usage in RE4 is absolutely identical.
Jason Blalock yeah the way it’s acts is very similar, but its appearance is quite different, to me at least. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the predator.
Fighting the Rachni in the original Mass Effect made me feel like Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, they even have a queen. My weapon of choice is the assault rifle, although it did’t have grenade launcher
My weapon of choice was shotgun... a dodge, followed by few shots work well.
@@AAhmou A shotgun and a Dodge are a good combination. Dodges are really well-built cars and trucks!
The Rachni are even less like the Xenomorph than the Resident Evil version
No, the rachni are an intentional homage (or ripoff I guess) of Starship Troopers and also Ender's Game, not Aliens.

The one about the Resident Evil Xenomorph rip-off, I looked at it and started laughing because it looked like a Xenomorph (Alien) produced offspring with a Yautja (Predator).
Ah, another person who knows their actual names.
I'm happy to see it. Thanks.
Regarding Tom Anderson: the name shortage evidently carried to 1999, when The Matrix stole it back for the films.

No star fox ripping off star wars? Rwing...Xwing...you picking up what I'm setting down?
Arwing not R-Wing. Star Wars uses a few of those and they are euphemisms describing the shape of the ships.
The main character was a fox though, so they got around that legal loophole oh-so-cunningly.
The Bucky O'Hare comic has been around since the 70's and although it probably ripped off Starwars, Star Fox is is a copy paste Bucky O'Hare with some of the animal species swapped.
Charles Bronson's Hard Times was also released as "The Streetfighter"
Splatterhouse ripped off Friday the 13th, but the psychological payoff was mindblowing. Listen to this: It was 1988. This game's atmosphere was the first of its kind. Have a look. The graphics were downright terrifying and macabre. People were actively languishing in the background, some recently deceased. Some victims were horribly mangled and unrecognizeable. Now take a scary horror icon and make HIM vulnerable to all these frightening visuals. (Chainsaw zombie anyone? He's got a sack over his head, yet he can see you. Fucking creepy!) In this sense, the game was a mind fuck and kinda scared the crap out of me. While we're at it. Guess where capcom stole chainsaw guy with the sack over his head from. Yep, Splatterhouse.
I agree. That's exactly what I was thinking about the game, it looks awesome.
@@lifeincolour09 It is. I got to experience it back in the day. To create backgrounds like this nowadays might not be tolerated. Splatterhouse 2010 didn't even dare to try and lost the nightmarish atmosphere the original had.
When I was a kid, 30 years ago, this game was talked about in hushed, idolised tones in our school playground. It was truly a thing of wonder and for the time managed to pack a hefty punch of gore horror onto a limited-palette 16-bit screen. I downloaded the mobile version a few years ago and it still has playability. The boss fight with a chair was part of a poltergeist section, which isn't so ridiculous in that context, and was pretty original for a game of its time.
@@tomread8748 agreed. They got that part intentionally wrong for the sake of trying to sound witty. A poltergiest was the boss, making a unique experience where it controlled the knives, chair, creppy painting and even causing the chandelier to crash down towards you, resulting in a very cool first for arcade gaming at the time.
Wait, Tom Anderson?
So he’s Neo from the matrix??
well he is trapped in a computer simulation
Or the founder of MySpace. And while I don't get the Tom thing, Ole and Arn Anderson are also prominent figures in wrestling.
That Warriors shirt is awesome!
Dude that warriors tee is freaking BOSS!!!
Most of these felt more inspired by movies than stolen.
Today we can't even inspired by other people.... 😑 ....no wonder life Action movie suck.
Hang on how did this video feature Friday the 13th and not have a clip of the livestream where Chad dances in striped speedos around a frozen Jason? For shame! For shame!
I would never dance in striped Speedos dont use my name like that you monster
Instant thumbs up for the Conker's Bad Fur Day mention!
was that a dig at that guy with the glasses?
hell yeah
To name a few, Modern Warfare 2 has the bathroom scene and the flare scene from The Rock literally just graphed into it. There's that one Call of Duty set in WWII that lifts the opening of Enemy at the Gates, and literally every WWII shooter (but especially Medal of Honor) made until World at War, took something from Saving Private Ryan.
That sounds entirely too accurate for that not to be the case.
But isn't the opening to Saving Private Ryan based (or stole) from what actually happened during the Normandy Raid in WWII (Sorry if it isn't the right battle but you get my point)
Saving Private Ryan ripped off history thou.
Best Alien ripoff? I think Prometheus has the least to do with Alien somehow.😕
My favorite TMNT knockoff/parody was the Geriatric Gangrene Ju-jitsu Gerbils. Yes, it is a real comic that exists somewhere
TMNT is a straight rip of Daredevil.
But is it better than the Pre-Teen, Dirty Gene, Kung-fu Kangaroos? Go PTDGKFK! >.> Yes, also a real thing, and I will occasionally admit in public to owning some of the comics
0:59 JANE IS THAT A MY FAVORITE MURDER SHIRT!
Cant wait for the Commenters edition!
What about that level in StarFox 64 that looks suspiciously like the battle at the end of Independence Day ?
64 is essentially a remake of StarFox for SNES from an outsiders perspective. That came out in '93. So maybe or maybe not?
Andy's shirt is amazing lol
I think Luke’s headless cameo is by far my favorite cameo thus far
What about Abadede from the Streets of Rage series? He was clearly modeled after the Ultimate Warrior
If you were to do one based off of books you would find a lot. Just a suggestion.
Jetpack Cthulhu Who wants to read a book ?
Whats a book?
Kiwi M or just an overall pop culture list
I just said book to give a general idea of what I meant.
