Not arguing with later entries, but the original idea is something that was altered early on, such that you always grew up with that version without seeing the unaltered one. I wonder how many people think that Luke Skywalker always went EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE when falling off of Cloud City.

Some Like it Hot was a remake of 1935 French movie Fanfare of Love, and wasn't even the first remake of that movie as there was a German remake in 1951.

I didn't know The Thing was a remake until a film class I took in college. Granted those were the infant internet days so it's not like it was easy to instantly find tons of info about anything. Except pornography. That was easy. Meat Load had wanted to produce Its All Coming back to Me before Celine Dion got a hold of it I'm still laughing hard enough that i can't hardly type. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Never edit that.

Similarly, a lot of people know Wizard of Oz is based on a book series, but it's not the first movie based on it. It's not even the second. And before the first film, there had already been a stage musical.

with the current Guns n' Roses line up having Axl, Slash and Duff, the line up still only has the same amount of original members as the 2000 - 2014 line ups, one, with Axl Rose being the only original member still in the band from its formation.

That the Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone music was taken from a song called Hard Times by the same composer.
For years people tried to find the Michael Jackson connection by pointing to songs that sounded similar. Turned out to be something completely different.

That the 1987 cartoon was not the real original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The goofy fun self aware sci-fi cartoon was actually based on a dark gritty black and white indie comic.
Edit: Misinterpreted title. Gonna leave anyway.

Here I Go Again by Whitesnake is a example but heres the kicker: it was a metal power ballad re-recording of a 1982 bluesy song with one change to the lyrics: the og 82 vereion had Like a Hobo while the 87 re-record replaced it with Like A Drifter

I was blown away when I found out that "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" was originally sung by Vicki Lawrence, not Reba.

"Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia is a cover of a song written by the members of Ednaswap that had been recorded by two other, different artists previously.
"Into Your Arms" by the Lemonheads was originally written by the Australian band Love Positions, whose bassist later joined the Lemonheads.

UK TV edits of the Blues Brothers used to leave out the scene where Elwood goes to work and steals some glue, so later on in the film it looks like he just carries around glue in his briefcase. They would also cut out the scene of the guys parking next to the substation, edit down the John Lee Hooker song and cut down the car chase towards the end. When i first saw the full version stuff made a bit more sense.

Except pornography. That was easy. My best friend only discovered that last week, and had her mind blown when I told her that Laurie is even watching the first one in the original Halloween.
And she didn't believe me when I told her the Thing movies were all based on a book.
