Line 73:
** While on Bond, the unofficial ''[[Never Say Never Again]]'', which as [[Agony Booth]]'s Mr. Mendo [http://www.agonybooth.com/video286_Never_Say_Never_Again_James_Bond.aspx put]:
{{quote|"If this looks like a ripoff of [[Thunderball|a better Bond film]]... [[Recycled Script|it's because it is]]!"}}
* ''[[Beowulf (film)|Beowulf]]'' was wrongfully accused of trying to rip off ''~300~'' because of the main character's signature phrase ''"I AM BEOWULF!"'' is somehow similar to ''"THIS IS SPARTAA!!!"''. How that becomes ''ripoff material'' is beyond some people. Let's also recall that [[
** Before both of them, there was a film starring Leonidas himself, called ''Beowulf & Grendel''. For some reason, no-one ever knows about it.
*** Because, just like the more recent Beowulf film, it's only ''very'' loosely based on ''Beowulf'', has enormous amounts of [[Adaptation Expansion]], leaves out at ''[[Everybody Remembers the Stripper|least]]'' half the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|meme source]] (which does nothing to stop it from being ''good'', just saying), [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and had a]] [[Best for Last|low]] (or poorly used) [[Screwed by the Network|advertising]] [[Viral Marketing|budget]]. Thus is shown the [[Your Mileage May Vary|blur]] of the gap between "[[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]" and "[[It's the Same, Now It Sucks|It's The Same]]/They Copied It, So It Sucks".
