9 Movies That Blatantly Ripped Off Video Games
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier Ripped Off Metal Gear Solid
Captain America and Solid Snake would have a lot to talk about over a pint.
Both are super soldiers who realize the very organizations that created them can't be trusted. They both also have a really good friend who appears to die only to come back as a cyborg ninja hellbent on killing them (Gray Fox/Bucky).
They both have also gone through suspiciously similar events. In Metal Gear Solid 2 and The Winter Soldier, a routine infiltration mission on a tanker goes on to uncover a larger conspiracy. Solid Snake and Cap' have also been involved in similarly epic fights in elevators and against helicopters.
Come to think of it, nearly everything that happens to Captain America in The Winter Solider are things that Solid Snake has already been through. The Winter Solider essentially lifted all of its iconic set pieces from moments in the MGS series, right down to that awesome knife fight.
There have been talks of an official Metal Gear Solid movie for years, but for now, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the closest the world currently has to replicating the best beats of that saga.
