This blog usually remarks that most Irish films are copies of other nation's work. But there are some Irish titles that seem to contain similar scenes present in some famous Hollywood movies - made later on! Sure, it's only a coincidence but worth noting.
Irish destiny
This silent movie has a war prison escape tunnel sequence that's similar to the one in The great escape.
Happy ever after
This David Niven film uses a funny car chase with mistaken idenity. Later in his career Niven appeared in similar scenes in the famous Pink panther.
Cry of the innocent
The finale of this Irish film has Taylor mud his face and put on an army uniform. Then he goes into the mountains and kills off a group of men chasing him. A few years after this movie the first Rambo film (First blood) got released with a similar idea.
