Live Poll: Mockbuster Movies

🤪 

mockbuster is a film created to exploit the publicity of another major motion picture with a similar title or subject. These films are often made with a low budget and quick production to maximize profits. Mockbusters are made concurrently with upcoming films and released direct-to-video around the time the film they are inspired by is released. The title or packaging may be similar enough so consumers confuse it with the actual film it mimics. 

Which of these mockbuster movies surprises you the most?

I am very surprised by the nerve they have to make these types of films.

I am in favor of it lol. It is pretty funny. If people get confused, it is their problem, shame on them.

Plus, some of these movies are more entertaining than the original film. And, I am ready to bet the crew of those films often has more fun than the crew of the original blockbuster making the film.
