James Cameron Is Pissed Off


A hilarious film that was a clear, and poorly done, copy of Aliens. It
was so painfully obvious that James Cameron should be angry. From the
clear Bill Paxton, Hudson, character who proclaimed, "how did they cut
the power man, they are lizards man". To the scene where the two gents
blow themselves up as the Carnosaur approaches. Everyone knows the
scene from Aliens this is likened to, "You always were an _______
Gorman." For a good laugh watch this and Aliens back to back and try to
point out all the similarities. I just caught the tail end and noticed
scene after scene exact copies from Aliens. I mean come on, the kid
fights the 'queen' T-Rex with a tractor and pushes down an elevator.
Even the sets are almost the same. They move through the vents, and the
color scheme of the film matches Aliens almost exactly.

hahaahah Yeah...it's a mix of plots from Aliens and Jurrasic Park...wow...this movie sucked, but was strangely entertaining. Or how bout when the Girl is taking off in the helicopter and there is a Raptor in there and they crash....just like Aliens. Man, I don't think I've seen a movie with such rip offs in it. I bought the vhs a long time ago for cheap and on the cover it says....What Jurrassic Park should have been....are they joking?....Man...who did they pay to say that?

There's also the T-2 rip-off at the beginning with the two kids. They even look like Edward Furlong and Danny Cooksey did in the movie.

Cameron should be angry?

What about Avatars TOTAL AND COMPLETE rip off (more like a SHAMELESS theft!) of FIREKIND comic released in 1993, years before Cameron claimed he started to work on Avatar ideas.....if he really got "ideas" by himself :

A human goes to a jungle world with deadly plant and animal life, as well as poisonous air.
Floating rocks fill the sky.
Aliens inhabit the planet and are not understood by the humans.
A human goes to the natives and lives among them.
The Aliens ride dragons.
The protagonist eventually helps the aliens defeat the humans with help coming from the planet itself, which turns out to be 'aware'.
Both firekind and avatar depict a native species and environment interconnected through some sort of "neural net"

Case closed regarding if Avatar was stolen. And no, Cameron cannot be pissed off about anyone stealing anything from his movies.

Curiously, James Horner made the music, and he is also one of the most plagiarist of the media! Even to the point of shameless : Like RED HEAT, from Prokofiev's Cantata for the 20th anniversary of October Revolution, ALIENS, from Kachaturian Gayenne Suite.

Check out Bruno Mattei's last film, Zombies: The Beginning. Not that I disagree that Carnosaur 2 is a thinly veiled Aliens clone, it totally is, but Z: TB is absolutely shameless. It has to be seen to be believed...

When I am king, you will be first against the wall...

Then check out the movie Watchers 3 that is ripping of Predator straight off to (Watchers and Carnosaur is both from New Horizon)
