Many films are inspired by <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-movie-remakes-of-all-time" target="_blank">others&nbsp;that came before</a>, but&nbsp;movies that have the same plot that&nbsp;come out at the same time may seem a bit ridiculous. Often, production companies will have similar properties on their hands, so both hurry to get their respective film out first and end up releasing them&nbsp;around the same time.&nbsp;Other times, smaller production companies will try to piggyback off the success of a large film by <a href="http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2017/10/bizarre-hollywood-phenomenon-twin-films" target="_blank">making one as similar as possible</a>. Sometimes, it&#39;s just plain coincidence or sheer laziness on Hollywood&#39;s part.&nbsp;Whatever the case, we end up with two <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/same-plot-different-movie/mike-mcgranaghan" target="_blank">weirdly similar movies</a>.

With copycat movies, it seems like one always nails it and the other&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/great-premise-terrible-movie/justin-andress" target="_blank">completely misses the mark</a>. The lesser of the two seems to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-with-unexplained-moments/anncasano" target="_blank">leave things unexplained </a>or have gaping plot holes that the other film did not. Here are some examples of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horror-films-with-the-same-plot-same-year/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">rather common phenomenon of twin films</a> and how each of these nearly identical movies differ from one another.

Mistakes & Plot Holes

History class is tough &ndash;&nbsp;there are lots of dates and names to remember. But when you&#39;re making a historical movie, you&#39;d think Hollywood would do some extra fact-checking. Not all films, even if they are historical films about real-life&nbsp;figures and actual&nbsp;events, fully honor their original source material. On this list, films from all decades are revealed as having botched the reality of supposed non-fiction and reminded audiences that they were just&nbsp;Hollywood flicks. From Foxcatcher to Hotel Rwanda, and even 1915&#39;s The Birth of a Nation, many films feature blatant errors and historical inaccuracies that will annoy more than just the average history buff. For example, while George Clooney spiced up the third act of Good Night, and Good Luck, its timeline and the implications of that timeline are way off-base.

This list covers more than just the Hollywood endings, however. The opening scene of American Sniper, for instance, feeds into the claims of Clint Eastwood&#39;s &quot;pro-military propaganda&quot; by making an Iraqi woman look evil by giving her son an anti-tank grenade, which never, ever happened.

So what historical facts has Hollywood gotten completely wrong? Read on to find out and be sure to up-vote the most egregious history mistakes in these Hollywood movies.

What if we told you the famous line, &quot;Warriors, come out to play,&quot; is actually an <a href="https://bestlifeonline.com/famous-movie-lines-improvised/" target="_blank">unscripted</a>, totally ad-libbed movie line? In this list, we&#39;re going to focus on the magic that strikes during production. It&#39;s when&nbsp;the right actor has just the right instinct at&nbsp;the right moment and creates something iconic. The actor says a line that becomes larger than the script, larger than the moment, and sometimes represents the entire movie.

Movies are an incredibly huge undertaking. It takes a village (or an army, depending on who you ask) to make a film. They say you make a film three times: once in pre-production, again while you&#39;re filming, and finally while you&#39;re editing. At any of these points,&nbsp;lightning can strike and completely change the course of the film.&nbsp;This is a collection of famous, originally unscripted, dialogue in classic films. Those one-in-a-million pieces of magic where a&nbsp;line struck all the right chords and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/good-will-hunting-behind-the-scenes/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">became legendary</a>.&nbsp;

The best movies are usually too good to be true. But what happens when the fictional stories in our favorite films really start to happen? Can we chalk up movie premises that really happened to life imitating art, or is there something more intangible happening in the universe that caused these real life stories to resemble popular films? Is it possible that the people on this list who basically lived out a blockbuster film are just experiencing one of life’s many coincidences, or are we living in some Truman Show hologram where a director choreographs our every move? That’s probably not happening, but these tales of movie plots that really happened are going to freak you out anyway.It’s not out of the realm of possibility that most blockbuster films could actually happen. As you’ll see from this list of real life movies, everything from a sweet romantic comedy to a karate chopping superhero flick is possible if you apply yourself. Although to be fair, most of the folks on this list didn’t realize they were living out a movie until it was too late.&nbsp;

World-building in a film can be accomplished in many different ways, but one of the best is when a movie makes references to movies that only exist in the universe of the real movie. These fake films within actual films often steal the show, even if just discussing them is about as confusing as doing trigonometry without a calculator. Since it&#39;s so hard to talk about the concept of films within films, why not just peruse this list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword" target="_blank">best movies</a> that exist within other movies? You can avoid tying your brain into knots this way.

Some of the movies within movies that would be on this list, like Machete or Hobo With a Shotgun, have actually gone into production, becoming movies within movies that are now movies. It&#39;s a weird world that we live in. It could only get weirder if those movies then had fake movies in them. Ugh. We have a headache. For years, filmmakers have loved putting these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-movie-easter-eggs/anncasano" target="_blank">Easter eggs into their movies</a> as a way to either put a cap on a scene, to build the world of their characters, or to spoof actual movies.

Vote up your favorite movies that only exist inside of real movies. Think about which non-movies you&#39;d actually pay to see if they were feature-length films. And if you have a favorite piece of fictitious cinema, tell us about it in the comments. Or if you can leave a comment inside of a comment, that would be more appropriate.

Film Trivia

Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003)

Sometimes, Hollywood doesn&rsquo;t clean up after itself. For fascinating proof, look no further than these creepy and cool photos of old movie sets. It&rsquo;s more common than you might think for a production to wrap on a location - and simply <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/biggest-movie-sets/derrick-deane">leave behind an entire set</a>.

If you happen to be a film nerd, some of these abandoned movie sets would make for a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/movie-sets-you-can-visit/anncasano">great vacation</a>. Star Wars fans who visit Tunisia or Morocco can still find several set pieces&nbsp;that will transport them straight to Luke&rsquo;s home planet of Tatooine. People looking for a chilling example of art imitating life can visit Krakow, Poland, to see Steven Spielberg&rsquo;s replica of the Pasz&oacute;w Labor Camp, as featured in the Academy Award-winning drama Schindler&rsquo;s List.

If you&rsquo;re not up for leaving the comfort of your own couch, these pictures of past filming locations will take you right back into your favorite movies.

Making a movie is often a labor of love. Directors and filmmakers invest a tremendous amount of effort into ensuring everything on screen helps&nbsp;establish&nbsp;their&nbsp;world or story. However, the sheer amount of action happening at any given moment&nbsp;makes it easy to miss hidden details in your favorite movies.

For most fans, it take multiple viewings to notice a strategically placed Easter egg <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/adult-easter-eggs-in-disney-movies/knut-bjark-arrundsen" target="_blank">in a favorite Disney movie</a> or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/horror-film-easter-eggs/robert-desalvo" target="_blank">horror film</a>. These difficult-to-notice Easter eggs often hold a special significance within the movie. They may hint at a future event or provide clues into a mystery. These crazy movie details are better than any&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/amazing-irl-easter-eggs/mick-jacobs" target="_blank">real-life Easter egg you&#39;ve&nbsp;come across</a>.

There are people who race out of the theater as soon as the end credits start, and there are those that stay and watch to the end; if you're a regular credits-skipper, this list might inspire you to stick around. Genius jokes hidden in <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-need-pre-credits-scroll/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">movie credits</a> are just waiting to be unearthed - but you have to know where to look for them. The secret things in movie credits are typically references to events or dialogue from the film, but in some instances, the filmmaker has included <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/disney-easter-eggs/ranker-film" target="_blank">an allusion to another work entirely</a>, or they have had a little fun at the expense of crew members or even their own families. The funny movie credit jokes on this list prove that even though the end credits may seem like endless words scrolling off the screen, there's no reason for the entertainment to end.Enjoy these jokes that play after movies, and be on the lookout next time you're sitting in a darkened theater.

Have you ever thought about what it takes for a film to get an R rating over a PG-13 rating? Who decides movie ratings? And what do they even mean? The history of movie ratings goes back to the medium&#39;s infancy. Movie ratings have always been controversial, but when they first appeared, the censorship boards hoped to limit viewership of&nbsp;films&nbsp;deemed unwholesome. Initially, movies were judged on whether or not they were morally objectionable, but as time went on, the idea of morality slowly vanished.

If you&#39;ve wondered about how <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/indiana-jones-and-the-temple-of-doom-pg-13-movie-rating/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">movie ratings have changed</a> throughout the years - prompting&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-pg-13-family-film-movies/reference" target="_blank">filmmakers to make more PG-13 movies</a> and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dark-movie-adaptation-omissions/hannah-collins" target="_blank">twisted film adaptations</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;this rating&nbsp;board history lesson will provide the answers.&nbsp;

Everyone gravitates toward a particular movie genre. Some people enjoy being swept up by romance and others prefer being&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-isekai-anime/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">transported to another world</a> with&nbsp;fantasy films. Regardless of your preference,&nbsp;personality experts&nbsp;have studied&nbsp;how movies reflect your personality. It&#39;s not as simple as the notion that comedy lovers&nbsp;are funny and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-your-favorite-horror-movie-says-about-you/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">horror&nbsp;movie</a> fans should be banished from sleepovers. There&#39;s a great deal of legitimate research being conducted&nbsp;to determine&nbsp;what your favorite movie genre&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-your-favorite-fictional-character-says-about-you/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">says&nbsp;about you</a>.

While it&#39;s not a direct&nbsp;correlation, scientists are realizing that certain personality types are attracted to the same genres. Someday it may be possible to analyze a&nbsp;person&#39;s character based on&nbsp;the films they enjoy. Is it&nbsp;a red flag that their favorite movie is Pulp Fiction, or does that&nbsp;mean they&#39;re perfect marriage material?

Sequels

The Birds II: Land's End

Casablanca. Gone <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dark-tales-from-behind-the-scenes-of-gone-with-the-wind/erin-mccann?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">with the Wind</a>. Bambi. Classic works of cinematic art that tell a complete, self-contained story. But you may be surprised to discover that these favorites, and many more, ended up with sequels. The reason for these terrible follow ups to classic movies isn't hard to guess - Hollywood has always had a desire to cash in on ideas that work. Unfortunately, these sequels to classic films are more likely to leave fans saying &quot;WTF?&quot;&nbsp;than applauding.These forgotten sequels and poorly conceived&nbsp;spin-offs have a few things in common. A few of these crass cash grabs feature cameos or begrudging starring roles from the movie's original stars. Many skipped theaters&nbsp;entirely - they're low-budget TV movies banking on recognizable titles. And&nbsp;a handful&nbsp;decided to class up their names by adding a Roman numeral &quot;II.&quot;But the most important attribute these sequels share is how quickly they were forgotten, while the original masterpieces are still watched, and re-watched, to this day. Read on to discover which of your favorite movies were saddled with unnecessary follow ups.

When you watch a film, you&#39;re expected to suspend your sense of disbelief. However,&nbsp;the worst continuity errors in famous movies&nbsp;demand that you completely disregard your critical eye, or risk&nbsp;ruining&nbsp;the entire film. As <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/90s-tv-mistakes/erica-braverman" target="_blank">sitcom continuity issues</a> reveal, continuity errors in movies and TV happen all the time, and are usually the result of a hastily&nbsp;cut scene or a dab of awkward CGI.

In the case of terrible films like&nbsp;The Room&nbsp;or Troll 2,&nbsp;viewers expect continuity problems to be a part of the experience. However, as soon as you notice a continuity problem in a major film, it&#39;s hard not to feel disheartened.&nbsp;Unlike <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/historical-facts-that-movies-got-wrong/ranker-news" target="_blank">historical inaccuracies</a>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;which studios can cover up with eye candy like Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett&nbsp;&mdash; continuity errors in a film put their issues&nbsp;front and center. Viewers are forced&nbsp;to overlook improbable circumstances and irrational characters, as major films with continuity issues pull people out of the fantasy and back to their futon and leftover takeout.&nbsp;

Film continuity issues appear in movies of all genres;&nbsp;major motion pictures, Hollywood classics, and&nbsp;cult hits all run the risk of continuity problems. Once you notice these continuity mistakes in major films, you start to wonder what all the studio money goes towards.&nbsp;

True Lies - Eliza Dushku

A <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">list of movies</a> you didn't know featured actors who later became famous. Some of these will shock you and some will make you stifle a laugh. From the loveable Jennifer Aniston's appearance in "Leprechaun" to feisty Hilary Swank in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," you will see some unlikely faces in unlikely places!Casting is an extremely difficult task. Sometimes, the hot new actor who a studio hopes is the next big thing just never quite makes it. Other times, the smallest cast member with only a few lines - or none at all - turns out to be the world's next movie star. In his early days, even Brad Pitt was a non-speaking extra in a few fairly big films. Hey, every celebrity has to start somewhere!So to all those actors out there stuck in guest star roles - or worse yet: doing extra work to pay the bills - stick with it! Many famous actors were just where you are now, and they later went on to do amazing things. These big names had tiny roles in major films before breaking into the big leagues. The A-list could be just one role away. As the saying goes, there are no small parts, only small actors. Below is a list of films you've seen and the famous actors you didn't notice were in them.&nbsp;

Creating multiple films set in the same universe became a popular endeavor in the 2010s, as studios sought to cash in as&nbsp;Marvel has with the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-based-on-marvel-comics/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank">MCU</a>. Disney, which owns Marvel, also snapped up Star Wars, and immediately employed the&nbsp;strategy of spinning off&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/references-to-other-star-wars-films-in-rogue-one/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">annual movies</a> in the same universe. Other shared universe movies underway in the wake of Marvel's success include the <a href="http://heavy.com/entertainment/2017/03/kong-skull-island-next-king-godzilla-2-monsterverse-franchise-release-date-end-credits/" target="_blank">Warner Bros MonsterVerse</a>, which was created&nbsp;to bring <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/godzilla-nuclear-war-metaphor/christopher-myers" target="_blank">Godzilla</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;King Kong <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVwsiIKOBsA" target="_blank">face-to-face again</a>, and Universal&nbsp;building a <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/can-universal-create-a-marvel-like-universe-mummy-monster-flicks-1008839" target="_blank">Dark Universe</a>&nbsp;(interconnected remakes of the studio's classic monster movies like&nbsp;The Mummy, Dracula, and Frankenstein).The shared universe films on this list differ from those in aforementioned cinematic universes in that they are not intentional attempts at franchise-building and serialization, but rather contain subtle clues and meta nods to one another. As you'll see, movies that take place in the same universe aren't always so obvious as to share continued plot threads.&nbsp;But there’s no doubting the link between them, no matter how small the sample may be.The world is full of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/sci-fi-movie-fan-theories/jordan-love" target="_blank">fan theories</a> about films that <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-could-actually-exist-in-the-same-universe/anncasano" target="_blank">might exist in the same universe</a>. The movies on this list are those for which there is clear evidence to back up their being films in the&nbsp;same universe.&nbsp;

A movie's main plot is what drives the story and keeps audiences engaged.&nbsp;However, the best movie subplots are frequently the parts of many films that keep audiences talking, as opposed to the main story arc. Subplots provide depth to a primary plot, and sometimes, even steal the show.Sure, sometimes a subplot with a bunch of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/action-movie-plot-holes/renee-engelberth" target="_blank">holes</a> can distract from the primary purpose of a film. But the best writers and movie-makers know that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/side-characters-that-stole-the-show/loganrapp" target="_blank">dynamic characters</a> can have their own stories, which drive the plot into more exciting directions. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-with-unexplained-moments/anncasano" target="_blank">Unexplained moments</a> in a movie could leave an audience unsatisfied, but when a film creator knows how to weave a subplot into a film's first story effectively, it creates a more human and engaging movie, whether it's animated or &quot;real life.&quot;Frequently, a subplot could be the aspect of a film that keeps a fan engaged. While the original story usually has the elements of a traditional plot, a great subplot inspires cult followings and analysis years after the release of a successful film.

Movies that confuse people are generally thought of as poorly made, but not all baffling movie plots are bad ones. Some screenwriters and directors purposefully attempt to befuddle their audiences, ensuring people&nbsp;need to think through a storyline - or watch it multiple times - before they really &ldquo;get&rdquo; the movie.&nbsp;

Some of the greatest films of all time are also the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-confusing-movies-ever-made/ranker-film" target="_blank">most confusing movies ever made</a>. These can include <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/surrealism-movies-and-films/reference" target="_blank">surrealist classics</a>, non-chronological tales, or adventures that bend the laws of time and space. If a film is well-made, it doesn&rsquo;t necessarily have to be understood to be enjoyed - but that hasn&#39;t stopped people from trying to decode them.

Movie Quotes

Remember when Humphrey Bogart said &quot;Play it again, Sam&quot; in Casablanca? Or when Gordon Gecko said &quot;Greed is good&quot; in Wall Street? Or when Roy Scheider said, &quot;We&#39;re gonna need a bigger boat&quot; in Jaws? Some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-movie-quotes-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest movie lines</a>&nbsp;in film history, right?

Trick question. None of those lines were actually spoken in their films. All of them (and many more)&nbsp;have been misremembered and mutated in our collective consciousness - or maybe&nbsp;they&#39;re <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mandela-effect-in-horror-movies/amy-only" target="_blank">Mandela Effects</a>. The infamous Mandela Effect&nbsp;theory claims that the events we &quot;misremember&quot; are actually memories from alternate realities.&nbsp;

Are these <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-popular-misquoted-film-quotes/nicolebreanne" target="_blank">misquoted movie lines</a> actually hints that our consciousnesses are surfing on quantum patterns across slightly different alternate universes? Or are they clues that what we perceive to be reality is just a glitchy simulation? Vote up the Mandela Effect movie quotes that make you question your own reality.

Media Money

Making movies has never been cheap, but the cost&nbsp;of producing blockbuster films has skyrocketed to astronomical levels over the years.

Movies are produced on&nbsp;all kinds of budgets, big and small, but it&#39;s no secret that the highest-profile movies generally tend to cost the most. Lots of factors play a role, including&nbsp;actors&#39; salaries, lengthy post-production schedules, and marketing;&nbsp;in 21st-century filmmaking, special effects are often the biggest culprit.

As of 2019, these are the 16 movies that, taking inflation into account, are the most expensive ever made.

Memes

Popular memes often come directly from movies. Some of these memes come from classic movies we all recognize, but other memes have become far more popular than the movies that inspired them. Even though these memes have circulated across the internet, many people still can&rsquo;t name the movie or describe the scene they came from. Quite often, the meme and the way it&#39;s used have a completely different context than the original movie scene.

So if you&#39;ve ever wondered about the origins of some of your favorites, like the Nicolas Cage &quot;You don&#39;t say!&quot;&nbsp;meme, or the Antonio Banderas laptop reaction meme, this list has&nbsp;got you covered.

Many films go through a testing process where audiences are shown a rough cut and then asked to give feedback. Depending on what viewers say, the filmmakers might make alterations, especially if there&#39;s an element those audiences are strongly critical of. That can include the&nbsp;big&nbsp;finale.

Quite a few blockbusters, and even&nbsp;classics, received extreme adjustments because test audiences had intensely negative reactions to the way filmmakers wrapped up the plot. In some cases, the originally&nbsp;conceived endings made sense from a narrative&nbsp;or thematic point of view, yet viewers left without the catharsis they desperately wanted. Other times, the endings were just poorly conceived, and it took an audience to point it out. Regardless of the reason, one could reasonably argue these movies were helped by audience input.

You might be surprised by some of the movies that changed endings. A few, like Fatal Attraction, provide well-known examples, yet others - such as <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-shawshank-redemption-behind-the-scenes/anncasano" target="_blank">The Shawshank Redemption</a> and Election -&nbsp;have not had their story publicized as much. In each of the following examples, we&#39;ll break down what was in the original finale and what freaked everyone out so much that it had to be altered.

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump is a 1994 American epic romantic-comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field. The story depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a slow-witted and naïve, but good-hearted and athletically prodigious, man from Alabama who witnesses, and in some cases influences, some of the defining events of the latter half of the 20th century in the United States; more specifically, the period between Forrest's birth in 1944 and 1982. The film differs substantially from Winston Groom's novel on which it was based, including Gump's personality and several events that were depicted.
Principal photography took place in late 1993, mainly in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Extensive visual effects were used to incorporate the protagonist into archived footage and to develop other scenes. A comprehensive soundtrack was featured in the film, using music intended to pinpoint specific time periods portrayed on screen.

Toy Story

Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated buddy-comedy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by John Lasseter, Toy Story was the first feature-length computer-animated film and the first theatrical film produced by Pixar. Toy Story follows a group of anthropomorphic toys who pretend to be lifeless whenever humans are present, and focuses on the relationship between Woody, a pullstring cowboy doll, and Buzz Lightyear, an astronaut action figure. The film was written by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen, Alec Sokolow, and Joss Whedon, and featured music by Randy Newman. Its executive producers were Steve Jobs and Edwin Catmull.
Pixar, which produced short animated films to promote their computers, was approached by Disney to produce a computer-animated feature after the success of the short film, Tin Toy, which is told from a small toy's perspective. Lasseter, Stanton, and Pete Docter wrote early story treatments which were thrown out by Disney, who pushed for a more edgy film.

Troy

Toy Story 2

Toy Story 2 is a 1999 American computer-animated comedy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by John Lasseter and co-directed by Lee Unkrich and Ash Brannon, it is the sequel to the 1995 film Toy Story. In the film, Woody is taken by a toy collector, prompting Buzz Lightyear and his friends to vow to rescue him, but Woody is then tempted by the idea of immortality in a museum. Many of the original characters and voices from Toy Story return for this sequel, and several new characters&#8212;including Jessie, Barbie, and Mrs. Potato Head &#8212;are introduced. Disney initially envisioned the film as a direct-to-video sequel.
