Most blatant rip offs you've ever seen.

[smearyllama]

Bohemian Rhapsody is such a ripoff of this song! I mean, guitar solo, same song structure, everything!

This "Queen" band is totally ruining modern music!

 

[Baby Eater]

Ever go to Blockbuster? They have a whole section for rip offs.

Snakes on a Train
Paranormal Entity
Dude, Where's the Party? (Stealth rip off till you watch it and see it's a Dude, Where's my Car copy starring Kumar from Harold and Kumar before he was semi-famous)
Space Wars
Lone One (Rambo rip off in every form)

Everything ever released ever ripped off of Call of Duty. Goldeneye? Ripped off of COD. Battlefield? Ripped off of COD. Uncharted? Ripped off of COD. Minecraft? Ripped off of COD. Tetris? Ripped off of COD. Space Invaders? Ripped off of COD...

I love everything about you now. XD

'Transmorphers'

Actually, anything ever made by the studio [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Asylum"]The Asylum[/a] who basically specialize in horribly low-budget knock offs to piggy back onto the success or release of real movies with the hopes of snatching up people who are none the wiser.

 

[Crazycat690]

Well there is this bothersome franchise that ropped of Doom, a space marine with green armor shooting monsters, only thing this franchise, instead of improving gaming, it popularized shitty stuff like carrying 2 weapons max and health regen, and this game is also very overrated especially in the 360 community, if only I could figure out what it's called....

I keed I keed

You read Eragon?

...Well, I'm praying for you, if nothing else.

And you've all probably heard of Transmorphers by now, so....yeah.

Digimon...

*Looks both ways and runs!*

Transmorphers. A movie about robots from another planet.

I give you 1 guess for what it's ripping off.

EDIT: Also, Sunday school musical.

 

[Father Tunde]

Medal of Honor 2010 is a shamefully ripoffs Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. No seriously it is pretty much modern Warfare 2 in Iraq.

So... it's a copy of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare then?

Princess Barbie? /derp

I think it's ripping off more than 1 at once.

"About a race of alien robots that have conquered Earth and forced humanity underground."

As you couldn't pay me enough to watch that crap I have one question after reading it's description. It isn't trying to rip off Gurren Lagann with the whole humanity underground thing is it?

I think the real problem is that we've somehow got it in our heads that if something is even remotely similar to something else, it's a rip off. This method of thinking is WRONG!!

I was just going to say this but you beat me to it!
I think it's unfair to say that anything that follows the heroes journey archetype is a Star Wars rip off. Do you really think star wars was the first story to follow that formula?
Here, look:

See how well that matches up with Star Wars? And EVERY GOD DAMN MOVIE EVER MADE? (Except David Lynch's movies, he accidentally peed on his copy.)
Granted I've never seen Eragon, so maybe it did follow what star wars did really closely, but to call it a rip off, you need to copy ideas that exist within the formula that set it apart and make it unique. For example, here is David Hasselhoff fighting a robot with a lightsaber:

Has anyone ever seen the other films by the guys that made transmorphers.
I think one of them was called snakes on a train.

 

[Athol]

Avatar, I guess. One example is that they took the Grandmother Willow from Pocahontas among other things.

well it's pretty much the plot of dances with wolves..

As Ive heard Avatar described, it Dances with Wolves meets Fern Gully IN SPACE!

There are quite a few more similarities between the Inheritance cycle and Star Wars than the simple monomyth.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

I gotta say Dante's Inferno ripped real bad off of God of War. I liked the game, but damn it was the samething for the most part.

 

[D_987]

Limbo of the Lost - it's a game that got somehow got published; it literally stole screens from other, better games [such as Oblivion, Unreal Tournament 3 - the list goes on] placed them in an engine that allowed them to create a game around these pictures and released it as an adventure game - they even stole cut-scenes from films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Spawn; not such much a rip-off as just plain plagiarism but there you go...

I love Star Wars, a lot, but I also love fantasy book as well so a few years ago I picked up a certain fantasy book that people had been saying was super duper good and was the best thing ever (this was back in middle school I think). This book as Eragon. So I read it, and I somewhat enjoyed it although I couldn't shake the feeling that I had already read this story before, that's when I realized that I had, it was Star Wars... with dragons.

It had everything, princess is attacked by bad guy, send away something for old wise master to retrieve, fresh faced farmboy finds it, finds old wise master, gets his family killed as a result, runs away to train with old master, finds rougeish man who helps them...

I could go on and on but I'd rather know your thoughts on the matter of not just how crappy the Inheritance books are but also what other things have you seen or read that was an obvious rip off of another, better book/movie/anything else you can think of.

I made a thread about the Eragon/Star Wars thing a year or two ago.
Everyone said nasty things about me...

Anyway, I think everyone needs to look at this:

Seriously, how come nobody ever realizes that Twilight is just a reverse gender melodramatic Chibi Vampire?

I downloaded this game from the app store, called Robo Rush. When I was playing it I had a major deja-vu feeling. Then It hit me, it was Mario with different sprites. Like seriously, the power ups, monsters, the level design, it was Mario with different sprites. I wonder why Nintendo has not sued them yet.
