Why am I writing about a movie which was released in 1993 today? Read the plot of the movie below to know better:
“Four friends, Ray Cochran (Jeremy Piven), Mike Peterson (Cuba Gooding Jr.), and brothers Frank (Emilio Estevez) and John Wyatt (Stephen Dorff) embark on a road trip to a professional boxing match in modern Chicago. The four set out in a lavish RV Ray is "testing out" for his business.
Stuck in a traffic jam en-route, John gets into an argument with another driver. Frustrated by the delay, Ray decides to save time and backs off the highway in search of a shortcut through a poor, residential neighborhood……”
If ppl have watched the recently released Saroja (Tamil Movie) then they would know why I am writing this blog. Saroja was an absolute rip off from Judgment Night except for the fact there is no kidnap in the English version and the friends don’t die in the tamil version.
I am definitely ok with a movie being inspired / ripped off 70% from another regional movie. However, I strongly feel credit must be given to the original movie. Whats the fun in making a movie where in someone has already thought of it. I can make millions of movies without giving credit then. It was really disturbing to know that Saroja (a movie which I was really impressed) was an inspiration from this and the fact the director never gave credit to the original version. Now, that’s what pisses me off the most.
Venkat Prabhu – if you are going to copy another movie to the Indian audience then do give credit to the original movie.
