The Twilight Zone Movie. The fact that Jon Landis not only endangered the lives of his actors (Vic Morrow and 2 child actors were beheaded by a stunt gone wrong), it changed what child actors can and can't do. You use to be able to see the actual clip shown in court on RU-vid.
@@rutvirajk technically it didn't almost "start" a war, just inflamed tensions in an ongoing war, as the Korean War never truly ended. There was never a treaty, there was just a indefinite cease fire. That's why the DMZ still exists to this day.
They should've sued them back in 1989 when the movie was actually called Batman, although they probably had a different (and more sane) mayor back then.
They actually covered that one in a similarly titled video also done by MOJO. Still it makes no sense what so ever that they waited almost 70 years to sue over the use of the name "Batman", with the name being used for decades for comics, books, toys, trading cards, images, tv shows, cartoons, movies etc.!!! Just ridiculous!!!
@darrell holland Are there even any lawsuits against Nintendo? Their games are all some kid-friendly bullshit. I don't see how anyone would file lawsuits against them.
No matter how many times it get sued, Borat still gets a sequel which will be released this year on Amazon Prime Video 👍damn I miss Sacha Baron Cohen's epic role like this
@@hernanbusso1609 oh God yeah, I forgot about that - like, every version too, I think. It seems like sooner or later most solo musicians bust a cover of that out...
That “hangover 2” lawsuit was one of the most important lawsuits setting a precedent that tattoo artist own the tattoo they put on you so any tattoo in movies/video games etc have to pay the tattoo artist to use them which is CRAZY. Also making tattoos kind of weird because that every tattoo on people is technically owned by the tattoo artist that put it on you. So they kind of own that real estate on your skin....
What about if you take a drawing of something to a tattoo artist? Like, for example, if I drew a picture and liked it so much I wanted it tattooed on my body would I own it or the artist? Genuinely curious
@@clintraley856 If you drew it yourself and had a tattoo artist put it on you, it's considered "work for hire". You still own the rights to the tattoo you drew, but you pay the tattoo artist to put it on you. The tattoo artist doesn't own the rights in that case.
Except that’s not what happened. What actually happened was that when he originally got the tattoo mike Tyson himself signed the rights over to the artist. That’s the only reason the artist was able to make the claim. Video games don’t use a lot of real tattoos bc the act of scanning them into digital form is costly and time consuming and ultimately usually not worth it. Certain sports based games (specifically ufc and wwe titles) DO scan the tattoos in. When you pay for a tattoo you are paying for the rights to that image. That’s why 10 years later the artist can’t come back and demand you get your tattoo laser removed bc they don’t want you infringing on their copyright. Basically the image is owned by the “tattooee” not the “tattooer” and your payment to the artist guarantees that
How can you guys not include the Rasputin and the Empress lawsuit of 1933 which brought about "All persons fictitious disclaimer" That lawsuit should be No. 1 in the list.
I'm so thankful for Mojo and other RU-vid creators for helping to keep our spirits up and sanity in relatively working order in these very strange and surreal times. ❤️
I'm curious if anyone would know if likeness can be used if the actor/actress is deceased. Like if they managed to make Michael Gambon look just like Richard Harris as Dumbledore (which almost certainly would have been a bad idea anyways). Or if a fictional character has certain specific aspects of their appearance (high cheek bones, strong chin, etc.) and in recreating that on another person happens to make them look just like the previous actor/actress. Would they go out of their way to make them look less like them if it is noticed by somebody?
This channel and another “amazing” channel often mispronounce common words. It drives me crazy. Google is a thing. If you’re not sure how to pronounce it, look it up!
The Devil's Advocate had one of te kost hilarious scenes, Keanu Reeves shooting Al Pachino and the latter is still okay after that? Reminds me of how Tony Montana survives a crap ton of bullets durring the mansion shootout in Scarface.
Roger Dean. Not Robert. And when I saw the movie, damn they used the ABWH (YES) Live album cover. Even the Musicians in YES said Avatar was very "Roger Dean".
I still can't believe that Great movies like The Hangover Part II, The Dark Knight, The Conjuring, Up, Frozen, The Wolf of Wall Street and The Black Swan has been lawsuited.😱
Unpopular opinion: Frozen wasn't *that* great and only saved by Josh Gadd/Olaf the snowman and the reindeer. Not sure how you can compare Frozen and Wolf of Wall St
Two films that led to US Supreme Court decisions: 1. "Ben-Hur" (1907) led to Kalem Co. v. Harper Bros., 222 U.S. 55 (1911), which established that no film can be based on earlier copyrighted material without first obtaining the film rights from the copyright holder; 2. "Viva Maria!" (1965) led to Interstate Circuit, Inc. v. Dallas, 390 U.S. 676 (1968), which eliminated the power of local censorship boards with regard to the banning movies intended for adult audiences. This one led to the establishment of the MPAA ratings code.
"This song resembles mine... so I will sue you for over a million dollars." Seriously, what the hell, did they harvest all of your organs or something?
tbf it wasn't THAT much of a spoiler - would have been surprised if the suggestion I got didn't make the list for at least one claim of plagiarism or similar... gotta love RU-vid though - lol
You completely missed one of the most obvious ones. This being 1967's Bonnie and Clyde. Frank was never once face to face with these two lunatics. In fact Hamer was a decorated Texas Ranger when he was coaxed out of semi-retirement to hunt the couple down and in fact 102 days after Hamer was set on their trail he and his posse ambushed and killed the two near Gibsland, Louisiana, on May 23, 1934. In 1968, Hamer's widow and son sued the movie producers for defamation of character over his portrayal; they obtained an out-of-court settlement in 1971, and rightfully so...
I love this one. Other personal favourites are "Is a bear a Catholic?" and "I'm a poet - and I didn't even realise..." It's six of one and a dozen of the other, basically ;-)
I came here to say the same thing. I knew if I checked the Comments someone else surely would have also noticed it. For anyone wondering it's at the 1:49 mark.
Thank you so much for pointing out the mispronunciations! I was wondering if anyone caught them, besides me! I often feel bad when I point out things like this, because some words can and do have weird pronunciations, but I wouldn’t have thought, “Episcopal” was one of them... 🤷🏻♀️ I am also a pain in the butt when it comes to spelling mistakes, too. **sigh**
The producers of "Kimba, The White Lion" (a 60's children's anime TV show) were going to sue Disney for copyright infringement over similarities to the 1994 animated feature film, "The Lion King" (there are RU-vid videos about that), but they never did. Creator Osamu Tezuka stated that Disney was "too big" a company to sue and that they would lose and end up bankrupting the company.
There was a movie in the 30's called Rasputin and the tzarina who was sued because in the movie Rasputin was having relationships with a known princess (with another name) and the princess and her husband (the writer of the book in which the movie was based on, and also the assasin of Rasputin) won the case, and also forced all the movies from then on to write the famous "although based on reality some things are invented" disclaimer in the credits
The fun thing about Jerry Heller, and I truly don't know what the guy is like in real life, I don't know anything about him, but him suing the movie because he doesn't like the way he's portrayed seems like what the movie depiction of himself would do lol........then again, what else is there to do......I suppose you can just let go or publicly tell your side of the story, but I get why one would feel like suing.
Rasputin and the Empress (1932). This MGM production was sued by an actual Russian princess as the movie suggested she had been raped by Rasputin, which never happened. She won two separate libel suits in both England and America which resulted in the "all persons fictional" disclaimer that became standard in the credits of virtually all Hollywood films.
There was a pro wrestler named shark boy who had sued and won against the makers of the movie shark boy and lava girl.. apparently he was using the shark boy character long before the movie came out!
Most of these lawsuits are ridiculous... I'm gonna sue every movie that has a couch or recliner in it, because I have those as well, so they are obviously ripping my idea off..... Jeez lol
there is one problem with the Let it Go and Voltar issue. i remember the former was written around late 1990 early 2000. the voltar song i think came out in 2008 or 2009. there is a difference.
The Rocky suit was bs. There have been other fighters named Rocky and he has a picture of Marciano on his wall that Mick references when he visits for the first time. A fighter who was 49-0 and a champion. The guy suing was not even in that league. I would have thrown that out but Marciano's family might have a claim if they weren't compensated for the use of that Rocky. Dare I say, the real Rocky.
"oh, you wanna cast Bruce in this? Ok, but definitely set aside at least $250, 000 of the budget for future use. No, trust me - we're gonna need it" - any current production company
Many of the lawsuits Mojon's mentioned on this only states the case and what had happened at the time, but several if not by majority are inconclusive litigations with no merits or even the settlement's outcome for that matter (ex. Lay the Favorite, Tears of the Sun, etc;) .. smh
In 1967, while shooting the second Thunderbirds film, Thunderbirds 6, the film crew were taken to court. Why? Because, one scene in the film required a biplane to fly and attempt to land on a real motorway that was under construction at the time of filming (today the very stretch used forms part of the M40 between London and Birmingham). The regulations that the police had set out said that they could do so, but that the aircraft had to taxi under the bridges. The pilot was asked if they could do so, bearing in mind that the aircraft was also fitted with dummies to replicate where the characters were, they said yes, but as the shot was about to begin, the pilot said, "I'm not going to be able to land," so the director assured them that's fine and they'll carry on shooting. Instead of landing, the pilot flew straight under one of the bridges. While it was great, exactly what the director was looking for, the police were unimpressed and had them taken to court. The judge, however, dismissed the case, saying that it's up to the pilot if they feel it was unsafe to land or not. The judge also happened to be a huge fan of the TV series, and as a thank you gesture, Derek Meddings, who latter went on to work on the special effects and sets of the James Bond films, made the judge a model of Thunderbird 1
So let me get this straight, some guy sued a film production over a friggin' map that I absolutely, positively 100% GUARANTEE nobody, N-O-B-O-D-Y watching this movie even noticed, let alone commented on? Can we say frivolous? Can we say cash grab? Can we say get the hell out of my courtroom with this petty bullsh*t? The production paid for the map when they bought it and buddy already got his cut from that sale; the fact he wants royalties for a piece of background set dressing nobody cares about might just be the saddest thing I've ever heard. Now if the story REVOLVED around that map that would be an entirely different issue, but the guy is suing for 10 seconds of background screen time.
@@Markimark151 oh ok. Yeah I figured it'd be released as such. Yeah the first was different and original. But in today's climate Sacha definitely has the material to work with
The 13th is a joke. An unoriginal babyface mascot suing a babyface. Someone should tell him ,that there are hundreds of lookalikes,from long before "his" creation.
So, if you ask most people, if you could be in a movie, and get injured, then get a 2 million dollar pay check, AND got everything related to the injury paid for... WOULD YOU DO IT? 99% would say; WELL HELL YYYEEESSSSSS!!!
Brooks chose not to fight Hedy Lamarr in court - "Just pay her!" - in respect for her beauty and career (she and pianist George Antheil invented what's now Wifi - it's TRUE)
Avatar is just FernGully, you cannot change my mind. And FernGully was better. I love Stephan Lang but Tim Curry will always be the ultimate bad guy. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
How about one on movies that had cast and crew suffered the worst injuries during production. This video made me remember the deaths during the making of The Twilight Zone movie.
What about another movie I’m sure should be on this little “the Interview”Sony pictures entertainment suit over that lead to data breach for over 8 million dollars And what about the tragedy from the movie theater shooting because of dark knight rises
