The Terminators!!!

The Asylum is by far the most shameless of movie studios. Their business thrives on riding on the pigtails of big Hollywood blockbusters by producing, what they loving call, Mockbusters. I started taking note of these f*cks when their SNAKES ON A TRAIN hit DVD around the same time SNAKES ON A PLANE hit theaters, and ever since… they’ve been cashing in on bigger productions, and have yet to be sued or shut down for out-right plagiarism.

The latest mockbuster to really chap my hide? THE TERMINATORS, which is scheduled to hit DVD April 28th… right before a little movie called TERMINATOR: SALVATION is scheduled to hit the big screen. Well, the similarities have to stop with the name, right? Wrong.

[THE TERMINATORS] is about small band of resistance fighters who battle the cyborgs that have taken control of the planet.

For the love of god, are they serious? And the bigger question, who the hell is renting / buying this crap? Are there people out there really that stupid to think the two films are related? Or worse–that they’re the exact same thing? Utterly ridiculous…

What’s crazier is that THE TERMINATORS stars Jeremy London, who was aiming to take over the movie world when DAZED AND CONFUSED came out… but instead did THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 (one of my all-time favs) and the rest is history.

Have fun with the new poster, and if you want even more fun, check out The Asylum’s OFFICIAL SITE for some stills from the film, and browse through their film catalog… just about every movie that’s ever been popular is in there, with a crappy STD twist.
