Hi,
I watched the Crazies today .. its an awesome movie . . but one thing I really noticed is that the military guys in the white suits with the gas masks really reminded me of storm troopers the way they acted was exactly like them . . the dialogue they had was like them . . they wore white and a storm troopers helmet kinda resembles a gas mask sorta . . they got their asses smoked by beep up civilians . . just like how storm troopers are defeated by the rebels who are just plain guys . . military guys and soldiers should be able to hold up against crazy people or "rebels" .. plus there was a beep load of army dudes just like the storm troopers . . their voices were all alike . . like storm troopers . . and they basically were more or less a symbol . . they didn't have individual identities . . just like storm troopers. ..
Lucas had to have seen this .

This is possibly the single most idiotic post I've ever read on this forum.

Yeah. the storm troopers were ripped off the Storm troopers of the S.S the suits were not all that original either
So,if you sleep until you're 18,Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss.

Sorry man, I don't buy that. The whole idea of "faceless minions" has been in scores of movies since the dawn of film and before that in litrature. The fact that the troops are in white NBC suits is handy for the conspiracy theorists but that's about it

Aside from the inept soldiers dressed in white, I thought The Crazies shared some eerily similar traits with Star Wars. It had civilians rebelling against a perceived greater evil. One of the civilians looked a LOT to me like Han Soloweird, maybe just a coincidence, but still
And one of the rebel girls looked a LOT like a young Sissy Spacek, who any real Star Wars fan knows was the original choice to play Princess Leia.
Anyways, just my two cents

Just to throw this out there, Ralph Maquairie designed the storm trooper, not lucas.

don't you all think that after awhile it's all been done before. i'm sure that you might "ripoff" something intierly (SP) on accident.

Body Counter
Five years before it came out?

Thank you tommyuk! I scrolled through this whole thread confident that somebody must have corrected this idiot. I almost thought that I was gonna have the pleasure but at the very bottom was your post.
You would think that before someone goes posting accusations of plagiarism on IMDb, that person could do a little research. A simple Google search on some key words probably would have taken no more than 5 minutes of his time.

No your wrong that whole concept was developed in 1971 by Lucas for THX 1138.
