Well you wouldn’t know that from the softcore title image.
Goonies is the opposite of a ripoff, it manifested its own genre. It’s also the only movie on that list that I’ve seen so I wanted to know if any of the others were genuine attempts at making a real movie or just VHS shovel garbage as that image suggested.
Hey, Captain America is an Indiana Jones ripoff because it has the hero killing paranormal Nazis, too!
