Films that have similar elements from other films and stories

[tr2k]

Guardians of the Galaxy: Wizard of Oz, Star Wars

Instead of Dorothy you have Quill, both who were relocated to a mysterious place. Instead of munchkins, you have the Nova Corp. Toto=Rocket, Scarecrow =Groot, Cowardly Lion = Drax, and Gamora=Tinman. All of them came together for their individual needs but ended updeveloping the things that they lacked in character. Ronan=The Wicked Witch, is destroyedby the group

Similiar to Luke Skywalker,Quill is accompanied by Rocket, Groot, Zamora, and Drax in order to save the universe from Ronan and Thanos. Like Skywalker, Quills' father is was also unknown.Also, both films have interstellar battles.

I meant were they basically rip out the scene from one movie and replaced it with different characters. Some movies add a twist.

 

[TKOK]

kinda obscure, but both Drive Angry and Shoot Em Up involve scenes where the main character is involved in a shootout while also being balls deep in a girl.

Transformers, Transformers 2, Transformers 3... all share similar elements.

Olympus has fallen - white house down

Deep impact - armageddon

Volcano - dantes peak

Kick ass - super

Despicable me - megamind

turistas - hostel

flight 93 - United 93

The cave - the descent

the prestige - the illusionist

saving private Ryan - the thin red line

.... And all these were released within months or weeks of each other

 

[BXKingPin82]

I don't know why...
but the movie Snatch reminds me of Garfield and Friends

 

[Uh Oh]

Pacific Rim - Independence Day
When Charlie Day "drifts" with that kaiju and he finds out that the monsters go from planet to planet, it's a lot like the scene in Independence Day where the president gets telepathically attacked by that alien.
