This is a post about ten movies you didn’t know were based on other movies. For the purpose of this post, I’m not including any sequels and prequels. There are a lot of movies out there that are based on other movies and some which are not obvious. Here is my list of 10 movies you didn’t know were based on other movies.
1. The Departed – The Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs inspired The Departed with the same plot but different settings.
2. Star Wars – Although George Lucas claims that his inspiration for Star Wars came from many places, it is apparent that he drew heavily from Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress where most of the characters and story elements have been borrowed from.
3. Face/Off – This movie is based on the Hong Kong movie called Double Identity with the same plot but different characters and setting.
4. The Bourne Identity – This movie is based on Robert Ludlum’s novel of the same name which has little to do with the movie except for some characters and scenes borrowed from it.
5. Oceans 11 – This remake of a 1960 film starring Frank Sinatra is almost an exact copy of the original except for being set in modern times and having some minor changes
Batman Begins (2005)
Christopher Nolan’s big-budget rebirth of the Batman franchise is one of the most respected superhero movies ever made. It’s also a remake/adaptation/reboot of an obscure Japanese movie from 1993 called Yōjimbō: The Bodyguard.
The plot, characters and themes are all lifted from Akira Kurosawa’s epic 1960 samurai film Yojimbo, which was itself remade in 1967 as Sergio Leone’s spaghetti western A Fistful of Dollars.
Both the Japanese and American versions were official remakes of Kurosawa’s film, but Yōjimbō was an unlicensed copy that was shot in two days for only £35,000, making it as much a redux of Fistful as it is Yojimbo.
The first Batman movie was the one released in 1966 and starred Adam West. It was based on an idea that came from the comic books and the TV series.
The first Batman movie to be made after this was Tim Burton’s Batman, which was released in 1989.
The movie was based on a number of different things, including:
1) The idea for the costume came from a comic book artist named Bob Kane. Bob Kane had created Batman for DC Comics in 1939. He created Batman as a character who would fight crime with the use of high-tech gadgets and weapons. The costume he designed for his character became known as ‘the Batsuit’.
2) The idea of having a sidekick called Robin came from a Robin Hood movie that was released in 1938. In that movie, Robin Hood had a sidekick called Little John.
3) The idea of having a utility belt came from James Bond movies. James Bond used a gadget belt in many of his movies, including Goldfinger, Thunderball, and Diamonds are Forever.
4) The idea for the Batmobile came from another comic book character called The Spirit. In that comic book, The Spirit drove around in a car called ‘The Spirit Car’.
Batman costume is a work of art that comes from the film Batman and Robin. The main character in this movie is the evil villain, Bane. He wears a special suit that enables him to control his body and mind. This costume has a special mask that covers his face so that he can hide his identity.
Bane’s costume is actually inspired by the famous movie Batman Returns. The mask is an exact replica of the one used by Michael Keaton in the movie. It has all the same features as the original version, including the bat ears and the yellow eyes. It also has a black cape and gloves, which are similar to those worn by Christopher Nolan during his time on set for The Dark Knight Rises. However, Bane’s outfit looks quite different in this film due to its dark color scheme and lack of bright colors. In addition, Bane’s hooded sweatshirt is no longer red but black with white stripes on it.
The movie Batman & Robin (1997) is based on the comic book, Batman & Robin
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has gotten a lot of flack from fans and critics alike. People have been saying the film is a mess, and many are complaining the movie’s plot is too confusing. But one scene in particular that has been questioned by fans was the one where Bruce Wayne dons his new Batman costume. The scene shows Bruce in a cave, having a nightmare that he is trapped in a collapsed building, with rubble falling on him. After snapping out of his nightmare, he looks at his hands, which are covered in dirt as if he really were trapped in the rubble. He then walks over to a table with his new Batsuit on it, and gets dressed.
This is where things get complicated for many viewers: how did the suit get there?
Well, we’re here to explain what happened. According to director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David Goyer (via CinemaBlend), while Clark was rescuing people from the collapsed building in Man of Steel, someone stole Bruce Wayne’s prototype Batman suit and put it where Clark would eventually find it! While this may seem like a strange way for the suit to end up where it did (and many fans will probably never accept this explanation), it does tie back into an earlier scene in Man
The Batman costume is the costume Batman wears to conceal his identity and frighten criminals. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.
A toolkit is stored at the base of the spine, between the carbon fiber plates. The cowl is composed of impact-resistant carbon fiber panels over a Kevlar bib, with a bulletproof glass insert in the eyes. The gloves contain scalloped fins with an internal mechanism to extend these fins during combat. In the original version of the storyline, Peter Parker stemmed from a spi
