(sorry, now back to our regularly-scheduled program )
I noticed that the James Bond movie "Goldeneye" has a very similar story to the Steven Seagal movie "Under Siege 2".
Jean-Claude van Damme's "The Quest" is similar to "Bloodsport". (Come to think of it, there's a lot of other movies with more or less the same story. )
Jet Li's "Fist of Legend" is very similar to Bruce Lee's "Chinese Connection".
OK, I guess a lot of action / martial arts -type movies are not very original...
