[Erratic415]

some of these are just two studios doing similar movies to compete, and others are just genre tropes that have been around forever.

Point Break and The Fast & Furious is a great one, but Point Break can't be the first inception of the kind of protagonist falling under the spell of a criminal mastermind, plus a separate hetereosexual love story, and the kind of moral reckoning at the end.

I've never seen it, but Charlie Sheen was in a movie called "No Man's Land" in 1987 which has a similar story.

fresh, yojimbo, fistful of dollars

Fresh is an interesting one to throw in there, I guess the basic idea of playing 2 sides against each other's the same, but Fistful Of Dollars is literally a remake of Yojimbo, so they're gonna be similar.

Fresh had it's own thing going, I'd be interested to know if the writer was thinking about either of those films.
