10 Awesome Set-Pieces (That Were Ripped Shamelessly From Other Movies)

2. The Hangover Part II (2011) €“ The Whole Of The Hangover (2009)

The-Hangover A bit of a cheeky one this, but let€™s face it, the sequel to 2009€™s surprise sleeper hit, €˜The Hangover€™ (featuring the clever title: €˜The Hangover Part II€™€) didn€™t exactly win prizes for originality. In fact, if you were to metaphorically €œlay them on top of one another€ and hold them up to the light, you€™d see that they are basically the same movie, from plot and structure, right down to the smallest set-pieces. Indeed, it€™s lucky the producers can€™t sue themselves for plagiarising their own material. In fact, come to think of it, maybe there was a mix up in pre-production and someone accidently reprinted the script for the first movie, instead of the second one€ and yes, such accusations are highly facetious, and obviously not strictly correct€
