Before I end this tangent, here's some more rips the Japanese got away with....

Goonies 2 Box Cover / Jewel of the Nile movie poster (despite the obvious difference of the number of people on the rope

Metal Gear Box Cover / Kyle Reese freeze frame from The Terminator

Contra Spirits (Contra III JPN) / Raw Deal

Full Metal Jacket / NAM-1975, Dr. R. Muckly's "opening act" boss
