Now here's something right here. The Clonus Horror. I've actually seen the non-MST3K version and trust me, it's a piece of garbage, though I am pretty suprised as to how Michale Bay's The Island was able to rip this off. I hear Dreamworks got sued . And of course, I absoultely HATE HATE HATE Michael Bay. I'm watching the MST3K Version of this right now and it's pretty good. I hear on the most recent MST3K boxset that Robert Fiveson (The Director) thanked MST3K for showing it. Because if MST3K didn't watch it, this movie would still probably be in obscurity |

Similarities between The Island and Clonus
| Quote: | There is a secret community of clones who are being grown so that their organs can be harvested in order to extend the lives of people who are wealthy enough to afford it.
When a clone needs to be harvested they get "randomly" chosen to go to the non-existent utopia that they have been told about: "America" in Clonus, "The Island" in The Island.
The community of clones is closely monitored by video surveillance and uniformed guards, who closely observe the actions of the clones.
The main character is an inquisitive clone living in the community who finds clues about the outside world, and eventually escapes the community.
A woman which the community staff try to keep the main character from getting too close to and who becomes the love interest for the protagonist, urging the protagonist to return to the facility after escaping.
The project director sends assassins after the character.
The main character gets betrayed by a genetic parent/sponsor he seeks and contacts in the outside world.
The President of the United States (candidate for President in Clonus) is known to have a clone.
The cloning program is exposed at the end of the film. |
