Blatant copy

Has any one seen the movie Alien v hunter? if you look at the synapses. it is a blatant rip of alien v predator. in every sense of the word. honestly. how come the producers of AvP not sued them? or did the producers of alien v hunter slip them a few dollars under the table?

IMBd voted it the third worse movie in history.

I care. or i wouldn't have taken two hours to write my post. But yes i get your right. perhaps the producers thought that they AvH lost so much money on this they were broke.

First of all, it was done by a budget company called The Asylum. Second, they have ripped off or copied every movie they've released to date (I Am Legend-I Am Omega, War of the Worlds - War of the Worlds lol).

Look through, it's hilarious. AVP wasn't great, AVH is much worse but if nobody cared about good movies being ripped off (not that the above examples were good :D ) Why would anyone care about the crap movies being ripped off?

They are not the first group of people to have no original ideas of their own and they wont be the last.

If that post took you two hours to write, you must have no arms and legs and type using will power alone.

This ranks up with MurderDoll's comment about feeding african children as one of my favorite posts today... Godamnit that was funny.:D


As far as rip offs pissing you off... Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster movie.... I havent seen them, and I wont unless i can download them from bitorrent.


The trailers alone piss me off. i cant stand that people with a 3rd grader's sense of humor get to make movies while i type away on my computer and make nothing off of it, and i arguably have some talent.

The way they are releasing these movies is liek they are trying to mimic what south park does. Their production times are so infinitesimally small that they can release episodes that are litereally edited the same day they go on the air. Likewise, these retards are making movies that make fun of the trailers of movies, then releasing them whtihin months of their box office release, creating the illusion that they are spoofing a movie whtihin months of its release.

I can only imagine that they are either suckering enough people to see them, or there are enough people who thought Spyhard and 2001: a Space Travesty were funny, so they like these. (I will also mention that some people apparently like Scream if you know what i did last friday the 13th....)


These movies anger me to no end. I despise seeing stupidity rewarded.

They are known as "mockbusters", films that are made quickly and cheaply before studios put out their big name projects in order to cash in on the popularity of those upcoming projects (ala 'Snakes On A Train', etc). Asylum in notorious for that. Some people have even complained when renting movies that they've accidentally picked these up rather than their big budget studio counterparts. Makes me think they should spend more time reading and less time watching DVDs :D
