36 Ridiculous “Mock-Busters” That Ripped Off Famous Movies

There's an entire genre of movies that doesn't even try to be good. Their only mission? To trick well-meaning, slightly naive, out-of-touch shoppers into thinking they're picking up a famous blockbuster - when in reality, they're about to experience pure cinematic chaos.

You know the type. Grandma thinks she grabbed The Incredible Hulk at the bargain bin, but nope - it's The Amazing Bulk. A distracted parent goes to buy Cars for their kid and ends up with A Car's Life. Or maybe you spot Chop Kick Panda, The Fast and the Fierce, or Guardians of the Universe and wonder who, exactly, thought this was fooling anyone.

And here's the kicker: it must actually work, because they keep making them. Every year, new low-budget "mock-busters" pop up, borrowing just enough from the real thing to be recognizable, while cutting every corner possible. They're cheap, they're ridiculous, and somehow they've become their own bizarre sub-genre of film.

So buckle up. Here are 36 of the most shameless mock-busters ever released - proof that sometimes bad movies are bad on purpose.
