fast & furious 1 through 7. lots of cars and very little plot - has no one thought about steering locks or pedal boxes, could of saved us a lot of time. see also all transformers films

oh and everything tom hardy is in, but is suspects thats more that he plays every character the same way

White House Down
Olympus Has Fallen

apparently fairly common for the major studios to green light a film with the same plot a their major competitors, but most of them don't make it out of development. unfortunately both of these examples did!

Thunderball

Never Say Never Again

Those are the exact same plot and main character names. There's another pair from memory.

At least with Casino Royale they messed it around a bit!

Ironically Olympus Has Fallen is gracing my TV right now.

I do quite like the line:

"Why don't you and I play a game of **** off, you go first" 😈

the tower and judge dredd (non stallone version)

essentially exactly the same plot - the tower a low budget masterpiece which apparently killed any chance of a second Dredd as the plots where so similar (even though the context, characters etc are totally different) but both in production at the same time. by the time dredd was released after the tower it was already dead in the water

Really after all the Chinese takeaway eaten this evening I don't need a knife or any other type of cutlery (and probably won't until Tuesday). In fact 10,000 spoons is about the measure of tonight's portion control.

While I'm back the second and third Matrix films.

No they're not.

One is a superhero without any super powers being saved by a kick ass girl. The other is a mutant that can't be killed trying to save his girlfriend.
