10 Foreign Movie Rip-Offs You Won't Believe Actually Exist

8. Lady Terminator (1989) - The Terminator - Indonesia

The Terminator Indonesia

As payback, they based Terminator 3 on this one.

What's the best way to rip-off The Terminator without doing too much to draw attention to the fact? How about you make the Terminator female, make the movie far sexier than anyone could have possibly imagined, and then just change the plot to the point where it no longer resembles the thing you were ripping off in the first place? Yes, Lady Terminator uses James Cameron's movie as a springboard, but decides it's probably better to throw in a few curveballs, too. That's to say, the plot of this movie is totally crazy. Our central character, Tania, an anthropologist ("I'm not a lady! I'm an anthropologist!" is just about the best line in the movie), finds herself dragged to the bottom of the sea during an ill-fated scuba dive session, only to have a sea serpent entire her vagina (seriously) and take over her personality. As a result, Tania goes on a murderous rampage, using sex to dispatch her foes. Hey, I said it was a vague rip-off, didn't I?
