'Probably' everything that Resident Evil Village ripped off

The concept of Nazi scientists performing occult experiments to create super soldiers is central to films such as Outpost and Overlord.

It must be said that the latter basically raped Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Anyway, once we enter Heisenberg's factory, we'll encounter some 'original' enemy designs, unless of course you've seen Richard Raaphorst's Frankenstein's Army

Soldat Zwei vs Burnt Match Man


Soldat Eins vs 4-Eyes Worker

Soldat Panzer vs Crypt Monster


But the prize goes to actual boss.

Sturm vs Propellerhead


Despite some subtle differences (no arms and chainsaw blades), it's absolutely fucking unbelievable.

MPI Media Group own film rights, but whether they'll take action remains to be seen.

In mitigation, the only thing Capcom could hide behind is that Air Man (who debuted in Mega Man 2) also has a propellor lodged inside his torso.

Still a huge stretch though.

Now feast your eyes on this shit.

Bride of Chucky

Angie vs Tiffany¹


¹Also appears in Seed of Chucky and Cult of Chucky.

Curse of Chucky

Angie biting Ethan's thumb vs Chucky failing to bite Barb's finger


Proof that opposites attract.

Heisenberg mutated² vs Tetsuo: The Iron Man


²Apparently modelled on a Royal Moth Caterpillar.

Akira

Dirty flasks vs Specimen jars


(Laughs).

Cut scene vs Underworld: Evolution (1202 A.D. opening sequence)


Snowy surroundings and house on fire?

Too convenient.

Soldats vs Resident Evil: Retribution (clone manufacturing)


How they're transported on pseudo conveyor belt is identical to shenanigans at Umbrella Prime.

Can it get any better (or worse)?

Maybe.

Tenebrae

Miranda³ vs Marion


Yeah, they're both photographs.

What the FUCK?

Dario Argento's masterful chiller was inspired by an obsessed fan making death threats against acclaimed director.

³Antagonist imitated Mia, as confirmed by Chris near the end.

Finally.

According to art director Tomonori Takano, Lady Alcina Dimitrescu was primarily influenced by Japanese internet urban legend Hasshaku-sama and notorious serial killer Countess Elizabeth Báthory
Fair enough.

But I'm suggesting something far more sinister.

Lust (Fullmetal Alchemist)
The facts.

Both are beautiful, have large breasts, can instantly extend fingers into malleable claws and possess incredible regenerative powers.

Remember, you 'saw' it here first.
