Avatar and Dances With Wolves
The "unofficial" last Connery 007 movie Never Say Never Again is basically a remake of Thunderball. Gene Hackman's character in No Way Out and Absolute Power is exactly the same.

Re: Movies with similar plots
Gene Hackman's character in The Quick and The Dead was pretty much a repeat of his Unforgiven character. Otherwise, the plots weren't that similar.

Re: Movies with similar plots
I or someone else might have already mentioned it before, but "Road to Perdition" is pretty much "Lone Wolf and Cub" (aka "Sword of Vengeance") done as an old school Gangster film. I might be wrong but I believe the Japanese movie or Manga inspired the American graphic novel and Mendes' great underrated film in the first place.
Anyway, I love both of them.

Re: Movies with similar plots
The original Conan The barbarian is a very odd mario bros adaptation:
Reptilian bad guy? check. Mid level reptilian bad guy in a tower? Check. (the giant snake) Rescuing a princess? Check. Minor bad guy with hammer? Check One up? Check (kind off) looting for money? Check Conan is like mario, his robber friend is like luigi, the bald magician is toad...

Re: Movies with similar plots
I forgot if it was MAD or CRACKED magazine in their spoof of either Mission Impossible or Eraser that both movies had similar plotlines.

Re: Movies with similar plots
Not really a similar plot, but actually the same plot device can be found in Cronocrímenes (a spanish time-travel movie) and Triangle.
On a side note, I recommend both movies for any person who likes movies involving time. |
