so let’s stay together
yeah let’s stay together let’s try to
have a day where nobody dies I mean I
really enjoyed not having to bury one of
my friends that I mean that agree
subtlety is apparently not in the
vocabulary of some filmmakers fire the
laser cannon rolled on fire yeah
welcome to watchmojo.com would you like
to help administer some medicine to the
patient and today we’re counting down
our picks for the top ten
shameless mach busters for this list
we’re looking at those movies that we
find were blatantly trying to ride on
the success of big blockbusters
since our focus is on mach busters
meaning low-budget films that copied a
major film’s title and themes we are
excluding distinctive ripoffs like Mack
and me number 10 Atlantic Rim
atlantic-pacific what’s the difference
thus we have Atlanta Grimm clearly a
derivative of Guillermo del Toro’s
blockbuster Pacific Rim
with both films relying on the idea of
humans piloting giant robots and
battling giant monsters take that come
on
Johanna
this time around however the robots are
designed for deep-sea missions rather
than specifically being designed for
combating Kazu which and that dr. Weir
champion it’s certainly a novel idea but
Atlantic Rim wears its origins on its
sleeve first rounds on me son
Jesus you know how to make a mess number
nine bound um excuse me for every high
budget production about BDSM there’s a
cheap knockoff
such is the case with bound the story of
real estate broker Michele entering a
submissive relationship with Ryan a
younger man
in case you were wondering about the
timing of this one the film was released
a month before Fifty Shades of Grey the
major motion picture tackling similar
subject matter no you don’t want to be
spanked or no you don’t want to be
spanked by me
in fact bound was relying on the
association to a degree its tagline was
no gray only black and white now subtle
number eight Sunday School Musical hey
drop that V God Evy alright alright okay
here we go
yuh rock rock the beat it’s the start of
something new or something derivative
and without shame apparently I think we
may have an argument no matter how you
feel about Disney Channel Original
Movies taking such a film and merely
changing the focus to a church choir
seems questionable at best and
then you try stain
I’m go
till you step in Russia
yet that’s Sunday School Musical in a
nutshell the tale of teenage churchgoers
entering a song and dance competition in
order to save their church well the time
has come to announce the winner will be
taking home a prize of $10,000 the
film’s producer has said that the movie
was made as an explicitly Christian
version of High School Musical based on
a suggestion from a marketing seminar
number seven AVH alien versus hunter
yeah oh here you
20th Century Fox must have been fuming
back in the day after all when your
latest crossover film alien vs. predator
Requiem is still a week from release do
you really want a mock Buster being
released to steal your glory
AVH borrows many elements from Fox’s
movie the suburban setting the conflict
between a brutal space hunter and a
vicious alien humans caught in the
middle Amy shut up the plagiarism is
thoroughly apparent right down to the
mach busters title come on let’s go
number 6 snakes on a train this is a
Southern Pacific
Desiree wrote does anybody read me
replace the plane with a train it’ll be
a whole new movie what may very well
have been the thinking that film studio
and distributor the asylum used to
justify their 2006 film snakes on a
train a riff on the then upcoming movie
snakes on a plane enough is enough I
have had it with these motherfucking
snakes on this motherfucking the asylums
project like it’s bigger budget source
focuses on hundreds of snakes being
unleashed aboard a fast moving mode of
transport tormenting the passengers
however in this incarnation we get heavy
helpings of gore and a woman
transforming into a giant snake yes
really
number five android cop affirmative we
probably wouldn’t buy this not even for
a dollar why would you do that whatever
you may think about the 2014 remake of
the classic action film Robocop it
wasn’t asking for imitators like Android
cop a film by the asylum it pits an LAPD
detective and his new robot partner
against corrupt officers as they escort
the mayor’s daughter out of an
irradiated area of California
though the setting has shifted from
Detroit to Los Angeles Android cop
remains tied to its source materials
focus on action and the challenges of
working with a robot companion let’s go
number four trans morphers robot in
disguise or robots rampaging earth and
enslaving humanity the plan was to build
an ultimate soldier a machine to fight
the machines stronger than any human
full of resolve averse to fear as a
machine it would be impervious to their
brain scans
despite the distinction in premise trans
morphers is a clear as day attempt to
piggyback on the success of director
Michael Bay’s adaptation of transformers
Trane’s morphers focuses on the
struggles of a human resistance group
battling giant alien robots the most
significant difference from transformers
we lost a great comrade is that the
film’s events occur centuries after the
robots conquered humanity a story later
documented in the 2005 prequel trans
morphers fall of man no one in the
military even questioned the fact that
you were the first human being but found
above-ground in over a hundred years
number three paranormal entity David
this one makes us feel a bit
uncomfortable to be honest okay thank
you released as a cheap copycat of
paranormal activity I’m talking about
Keeley this 2009 film by the asylum uses
the former’s documentary style
filmmaking and low budget setup to tell
the story of a woman being sexually
assaulted and killed by supernatural
forces
Samantha Finlay and her family seek to
investigate what they believe is a demon
haunting them only for events to spiral
out of control
hi sweetie anyway the audience looks at
it this is paranormal activity redone
with a much more grim outcome
number 2 metalman
I am metal man or rather our hero Kyle
fin is metal man whose super powered
metal suit comes in handy when battling
ninjas and a terror robot
and Finn’s rival read admittedly a solid
premise it nevertheless comes under
scrutiny when one considers a single
detail metal man was released the same
year as Marvel Studios Iron Man yes this
Mach Buster exists to take advantage of
the marvel cinematic universes first
film metal man is even designed
similarly to Iron Man to hammer the
point home you should have the powerful
invisibility all you should have to do
is say full stealth self before we
unveil our number one pick forgive me
Stella but in the beginning I didn’t
know whose side you were on here are a
few honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions what have you done
you clumsy idiot it wasn’t me it wasn’t
me

about tonight we drink was he planning
let’s lock in these controls and move it
out quick right let’s go
number one almighty Thor protect it keep
it safe and looking this one’s the cream
of the crop so to speak with the success
of Marvel Studios films cash grabbing
knockoffs were to be expected
hence the existence of this Mach Buster
I am NOT leaving this earth until I have
saved it or death takes me almighty Thor
tells the tale of a young Thor who in
this version is an inexperienced warrior
as he seeks justice for the death of his
brother and father it’s lucky I want to
avenge your death my brothers making the
Norse god of thunder the hero is blatant
enough but add the trickster god Loki
estores mortal foe and you have a
clear-cut grab at the money made by
marvel’s own Thor movie I can hear you
