Daymare: 1998 - Beyond the Horror - Part 2

Prepare to have a multiple postergasm.

Deconstruction Man vs Demolition Man (1993)


Partial Recall vs Total Recall (1990)


The Something vs The Thing (1982)


The Stone vs The Rock (1996)


Broken Arch vs Broken Arrow (1996)


Virgil's Peak vs Dante's Peak (1997)


The Escaper vs The Fugitive (1993)


Now shit gets greedy.

Face/On and Dependence Week vs Face/Off (1997) and Independence Day (1996)


Inland and Death Horizon vs Outland (1981) and Event Horizon (1997)


Tornado and The Sixth Door vs Twister (1996) and The Fifth Element (1997)


Die Hard (1988)

Before going any further, there were four different video games based on one of the most influential action films of all time.

DOS (1989)
C64 (1990)
PC Engine (1990)
NES (1991)

As the PC Engine version was only released in Japan, cover art is unique.
DOS (left) and C64 (right) are identical.


Activision made a pointless alteration by moving title.


Rather bizarrely.

Hard Hero
Going the whole hog, an 'uncensored' alternative appears elsewhere.

Reluctant Hero


And there's more.

Live Hard 2 vs Die Hard 2 (1990)


Die Soft vs Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)


Quite understandably, Die Hard 4.0 (2007) and A Good Day to Die Hard (2013) were left well alone.

Miscellany

? vs The Relic (1997)


Yeah, there is no title.

Mars 1978 vs Capricorn One (1977)


Fear and Loathing in Keen Sight vs Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)


Masquerade vs Wishmaster (1997)


Finally.

Cacciatoa 2 vs Shake, Rattle & Roll V (1994)


Filipino horror anthology series began in 1984 and latest entry Evil Origins was released in 2025.

Until next time.
