 惡搞影片 mockbuster
[ 2009-07-31 14:24 ]
還記得當(dāng)年《無(wú)極》上映后迅速竄紅網(wǎng)絡(luò)的《一個(gè)饅頭引發(fā)的血案》嗎？在娛樂(lè)至上的今天，這樣的惡搞已經(jīng)隨處可見(jiàn)了。電影可以被惡搞，名著可以被惡搞，連新聞報(bào)道也會(huì)被惡搞。今天，我們就說(shuō)說(shuō)“惡搞影片”，英文里叫mockbuster。
A mockbuster (sometimes also called a knockbuster) is a film, often made with a low budget, created with the apparent intention of piggy-backing on the publicity of a major film with a similar title or theme. Often these films are created to be released direct-to-video at the same time as the mainstream film reaches theaters or video outlets.
“仿大片”（mockbuster/knockbuster）指以低成本制作，采用與大片類似的片名及主題，專門利用大片的聲勢(shì)投機(jī)賺取商業(yè)收益的普通影片。通常，此類影片會(huì)以電視電影的形式在主流大片上映的同時(shí)公開發(fā)布。
Though the words are often used interchangeably, the term mockbuster implies a spoof or parody of the original film's premise, while knockbuster implies a more derivative (or knock-off) use of a successful film in the same genre.
Mockbuster和knockbuster這兩個(gè)詞雖然都指“仿大片”，但是mockbuster含有對(duì)被仿影片的惡搞之意，而knockbuster則更傾向于指代在“仿大片”中大獲成功的電影。
