General - Plagiarism on posters

Some maybe plagiarism maybe a casuality thing...but they look like the same. Some of them are (or will be) tagged as 'plagiarism', but as I only found fair to tag as plagiarism the 'copy' one, may someone could say "which one is the original one?" Here he could find the answer:

Original:........................................Copy:


Original:........................................Copy:



Original:........................................Copy:

Yeah, that's a good one, I was going to put it later but as you said, more as a hommage than a plagiarism

Have more here waiting to show, I will put them in future.

Sometimes there is a thin line betwean a spoof and plagiarism.

Not rely that similar. But it came out the same year and had the same actor. With that in mind, it's kind of similar.

2nd and 3rd one being DVD covers of the 'red curtain' series. So not entirely plagiarism...
Unfortunately I can't find higher resolution versions...

The tagline on 'Last House on the Left' (to avoid fainting...) is still a frequent inspiration for others.

bosnuk, good one, now you talk about it I remember reading it in some others, so I made the "to avoid fainting" tag, with time we could see them all together

Crane, didn't know about the Sin City one, it's great too But we don't have that one on DB!

Not so obvious as most others, but

MAYBE it has something to do with Hugh Jackman

That "It's only a movie" appears on the Chaos poster as well.

Yeah, I guess Jackman is a bit guilty of it, but have to recognise they look similar...

And the Chaos it's not exactly the avoid fainting but is obviously and hommage of it, I tag it as "to avoid fainting".

Don't believe this one is exactly a plagiarism, but a coincidence (I don't think those Poland genius of poster design need to copy) but is a curious one [the first one is for "Squirm", the second poster is Raiders of the Lost Ark Polish version]:

Pixar doesn't copy! Others copy Pixar before Pixar makes the original, as we can see, with a difference of years Just joking sure

Well, not that the same, but nearly, I remember it to be more a plagiarism than now. The Club x360:
