i really hate it when the hollywood arseholes rip off some cool non-american films.
there has been so many films ripped off by hollywood.
there are a few really well known ones because they where popular in their original country and had a cult following outside the usa.
but there are heaps more, did you know "sliding doors" was a euro film, or that film "Taxi" is a rip off too. it goes back years to stuff like "3 men and a baby" or "the birdcage" and heaps more.
this practise makes america look like a country of dumb fucks who cant watch a film with subtitles because they cant read.
did you know that in MadMax's original american release, mel gibsons voice was dubbed into a voice american accent, because it would be accepted more with a yank.
i also get pissed off by the fact they rarely mention where they ripped the film off from, even in interviews when it gets huge.
it also makes us foriegners think hollywood is full of people without an original idea. find a idea and rip it off, comics, foreign films, etc. whats next, films based on webpages?
and what is the usa's obsession with itself in films, 99% of disaster films are set in the USA with minimal mention of anywhere else. well thats not all that bad actually, cos us foreigners love seeing the usa gettin blown up, flooded, burnt etc etc. as a revenge for all the films ripped off.
imagine if some other country ripped off an american film and made it better and made shit loads of money off it and never mentioned exept inthe credits where they ripped it off from, thats what its like.
if you wanna see a really funny (nonamerican) zombie film i recomend these:
Australian: Undead
UK: shaun of the dead
