A random Image Search brought this one to my attention. I'm sure that someone else must have noticed this before, but it was new to me.
In 1991, we got the 'classic' Film Stone Cold with Brain Bosworth.
Here's how the German Poster looks...
As a bit of extra proof, I went ahead and put in a *different* country's version of the same one.
There are a few tweaks, but it's otherwise the same.
So, with that in mind, let's look at the case of Shocking Dark.
In a nutshell, the Film's Plot is a mish-mash of Aliens and The Terminator, long before Comics tried doing this kind of stuff legally.
It's also famous for beating Terminator 2 to the Title, possibly a reason why the Film is more known as T-2. I won't spend an hour Googling all of the legalities of that, of course.
So, with all of that said, here's the pair of Posters (one as Shocking Dark and one as Terminator 2)…
That's kind of similar, no?
To be fair to both, I tried to find a similar Poster for the original Terminator, but found nothing.
So can we add ANOTHER Film to the list of Films that 'Inspired' Shocking Dark?
Or, in a shocking twist, did we just find someone that ripped off that Film?!?
