'Probably' everything that Army of the Dead ripped off

First off, another non-zombie film of same name was released in 2008.

While not as good as Dawn of the Dead, I still enjoyed Zack Snyder's shambling return to the genre.

Aside from blurry cinematography, bloated running time and pacing issues, film's biggest problem is Geeta, who magically vanishes after helicopter crash.

Also, Kate doesn't give a toss, which makes no sense.

Gaping plot hole is identical in principle to Golic's Houdini act in the theatrical cut of Alien³.

Enough already, my amazing story begins.

Summary

Scott Ward and fellow mercenaries are hired by casino owner Bly Tanaka to heist $200m from his vault before the military deploys a tactical nuclear strike on Las Vegas.

Hmmm, this sounds vaguely familiar.

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula

Jung Seok and Chul-min are recruited by Chinese mobsters to retrieve $20m from an abandoned food truck.  If successful, they're promised a cut.

Dodgy this, but...

Mercs are forced to sneak by sleeping zombies.

Same thing happens in Remains (albeit outside).

Oh, sequence doesn't appear in five-piece comic.

Aliens

There's shall we say, a few similarities.

For instance, Chambers looks absolutely nothing like Vasquez.

Homage?

Something weird this way comes.

As master safecracker Ludwig opens the vault, Richard Wagner's Siegfried's Funeral March from 'Götterdämmerung' Act III is already playing.

Some will scream Excalibur, but scene is basically Die Hard, which famously used Beethoven's Ode to Joy.

Now things get really exciting.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

Helicopter escape may run in a different order, but does that matter?

Of course not.

Gotta admire attention to detail.

And for remarkable shits and giggles.

Resident Evil 3

Shockwave forces Peters and Carlos to briefly lose control.

Just look at respective expressions for fuck's sake.

The only difference is that Peters crashes chopper and dies.

Resident Evil 2 (2019)

Christ, handsome chaps even look alike.

Check this out.

Ward and co watch a news broadcast informing that strike has been brought forward by 24 hours.

Looks innocent, right?

But I know different.

Please compare Dead Rising 2 (and/or re-imagining Off the Record) to the above.

SERIOUSLY?

Gas unleashed on Fortune City caused zombies to mutate, hence why President ordered immediate eradication of quarantine zone.

Finally.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

Making of documentary Creating An Army of the Dead reveals that suit for 'Ace' was designed by special effects makeup artist Gabe Bartalos.

But no reference is made to what I allege.

Funny that.
