About a week ago in a movie poster thread, I pointed out that the tagline for Star Trek VI ("The battle for peace has begun") was quite similar to the tagline for Star Trek: Insurrection ("The battle for paradise has begun").
Today I noticed another one. I was over on the Official Indiana Jones Website and noticed this:
Which is quite similar to the tagline for Clint Eastwood's Honkytonk Man which was:
"The boy is on his way to becoming a man. The man is on his way to becoming a legend."
So, what other stolen taglines are floating around out there?

Let's expand this a bit too...to include movie titles that were stolen from other movie's taglines.
For example, when SPEED was released, the tagline was "Get ready for Rush Hour!" Sure enough, a few years later we get a movie called RUSH HOUR!
THE MATRIX is a huge hit. ABC entitles a series "Threat Matrix".
In 1984, Paramount has success with STAR TREK III: The Search For Spock. In 1987, Warners releases SUPERMAN IV: The Quest For Peace.
Everyone see how this works?

I guess i'm not the only one who finds it funny when someone makes fun of someone else's mistake rather than just point it out to them!

Instead of berating the poster for posting this in the wrong forum., How about Reporting the post to a mod so it could be moved!

What's really bad is Drew Barrymore acting like she's making conversation on Jay Leno's show, when all the while, she's making a commercial for cheese. Kraft Singles, to be exact.

I DID that! I'm unloved, it seems.
As for the thread - look at the covers for Burt Reynolds' Gator and White Lightning. I'm sure it was a mistake, but it looks funny...
