Repo Men vs Repo: The Genetic Opera

[msquire98]

Never have I seen such a blatant rip-off. I was shocked to see this advert earlier. They couldn't even try to cover up this copy. Has anybody else noticed this?

SounRAB here like a case of great minRAB thinking alike. It's possible!

It is a rip off, but there isn't much originality on general when it comes to big Hollywood films and everything is based on tried and tested formulas, not straying too far from the plots, character types and techniques that have already been proved to work. Rip-oRAB and clones are a big current problem in the industry in general, and Repo Men is only obvious because it's picked on a quirky, low budget film as opposed to one of its box office fellows.

Wasn't a bad film never heard of the original though.

I love it. It's great fun. Over the top as anything.

It also has the most mismatched cast in the world- there's a scene in which Sarah Brightman and Paris Hilton sing at each other, before being interrupted by Ogre from Skinny Puppy and Paul Sorvino.
