My favorite: "Claws," which was a ripoff of "Grizzly," which was a ripoff of "Jaws." Gotta love those ripoffs.

Bruno Mattei's ALIEN/TERMINATOR rip-off SHOCKING DARK (1989) was released on Italian video as TERMINATOR II, way before the real sequel was made by James Cameron.

Wet dream on elm street

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

I've seen one movie at the store called, "Warnings" and its about mysterious crop circles in some guys field. Guess which movie they ripped off. Not surprisingly it stars one of the baldwin brothers.

Well, since we were talking about porn titles that rip off the titles of better films, here's my (Ahem! Cough! Cough!) laundry list of them.

My Bare Lady
Sex Family Robinson
One Million A.C./D.C.
Pray for Rosemary's Beaver
Flesh Gordon
Lust Horizons
The Sexorist
Naughty Network
Pink Lagoon
Every Which Way She Can
The French Lieutenant's Boys
Beyond the Valley of the Ultra Milk Maids
On Golden Blonde
Fleshdance
Flashpants
First Times at Cherry High
Sperms of Endearment
E.T.: the Extra . . . .
Romancing the Bone

I must admit these are from "Song of Golden Turkey Awards" by Harry and Michael Medved. One would think they would award their award to "Pray for Rosemary's Beaver" or E.T.: the Extra . . ." as the T no longer stands for terrestrial, but something that rhymes with terrestrial, but, they award it to "Beyond the Valley of the Ultra Milk Maids."

We've got the upcoming pseudo-prequel to "Ginger Snaps" called ...

"Ginger Snaps Back."

I keep thinking of Chris Rock from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (another contender) saying "George Lucas is gonna SUE somebody's ass!"

Take it and run.

Man, some of the titles I've seen are sooooo poor! I mean, how about these for porno ripoffs...

The Erotic Witch Project
Fister of the North Star
Driving Miss Daisy Crazy

The worst i've seen didn't even try...Erotic tomb Raider...lazy sods!

Some of the mainstream ripoffs suck just as much...

Spiders - Ripoff of Eight-legged Freaks. Except there are only 2 spiders in the film.
The Ring - Watered down, made-easier-to-digest, can-only-understand-it-if-wide-screen rip from the Japanese "Ring" trilogy, except without as much atmosphere.
Halloween 3 The Season Of The Witch - Nothing to do with the previous Halloween films.
Psycho Cop - Ripoff of Maniac Cop
House of the Evil Dead - For shame!
Live action version of Fist of the North Star - Poor, with most of the main characters missing, including Ray and Ken's own brother and arch villain Roah!
The Blair Witch Project - VERY similar plot line to Cannibal Holocaust, especially the finding of the tape that explains what happened to the original explorers, making for an UNoriginal film.
Return of Spinal Tap - spotted on the crap shelf in a video store.

I'll keep my eyes open for more of these atrocities!
