I haven´t seen any of those films but one I´ve known for many years is the really fun turkish Star Wars - Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam, at 1.50 does the Indiana Jones theme of everything starts playing! No, you are not dreaming, this is a real movie:

1979 Movie Rip off called Space Black Knight of the Mobile Suit Gundam 1979 TV series. They just changed the color of the character's clothing often and gave them different ships/weapons. lol

Really? Now I just looked trough Space Black Knight but I thought they looked quite the same.
However, how can you just not adore the enthusiasm among the turks when it comes to ripping off? Found this one aswell:

Pretty much anything made by the Asylum. Like Atlantic Rim, Transmorphers, Alien vs Hunter, Snakes on a Train, Paranormal Entity, and the Day the Earth Stopped. Can you guess what films they're ripping off? I sure don't know.
Pretty much this.
Snakes on a train? Hmm, which one in all of the world could that one be ripping off? And Paranormal Entity? It really can´t be more obvious. ^^
How about when popular movies are rip offs of less popular movies? Not just remakes, but complete rip offs?
Well, which ones are you thinking about?
Alien and The Lion King are great examples. Alien it was so bad that they had to have the staff working on the film watch the film "It" while working on Alien just so they wouldn't copy it too much. The Lion King the staff was literally told they were making a Kimba The White Lion movie, and early advertisement for the Lion King showed the Simba white, just like Kimba the White Lion, they heavily ripped off the Kimba the White Lion TV series, but Disney failed to get the rights to Kimba the White Lion so they had to do a lot of script rewrites. But to this day claims they didn't rip off Kimba the White Lion, or even admit it inspired the film in any way.
Funny that even The Simpsons expressed the obviousness of The Lion King in one of it's episodes. lol
I don't believe the Alien story at all considering how Alien came out in 1979 and It came out in 1990. That and the two have almost nothing in common other than the fact that they're horror films.
I might have gotten the name wrong let me check. Okay found the title "It! The Terror from Beyond Space." Source I was going by only referred to it as "It 1958."
