Not entirely Plagirism, but pretty similar (with them standing side by side with weapons).

If it was the same background, than yes, but it's not, so what's the plagiarism here?

Maybe they`re are not perfectly the same
but the trees do look pretty similar

I wasn`t saying it really was full plagiarism, but that it was odd the trees were so similar....

I am wondering what movieposter that has the same "boat crossing the paper and tearing it"-thing as this one? Does anyone remember. I am certain that I've seen it before.

And to keep in the spirit of the thread, you have the king of rip offs:

Rip Off:


Would that be a whole other genre/thread? Films that purposefully rip off other more successful ones?
