15 memorable games characters who shamelessly ripped off celebrities

Quite the tale, this one. Arcade brawler Dynamite Cop is the sequel to the similarly punchy Dynamite Deka, which is known outside of Japan as Die Hard Arcade. Die Hard Arcade features a character called Bruno Dillinger, who looks a lot like John McClane, but it’s licensed, so that’s fine. Dynamite Cop also features the same character, who still looks like McClane, but it’s unlicensed, so… that’s also fine? What would Judge Judy say?

Apparently Bruce Willis is alright with this arrangement (or, more likely, unaware), as the character also appears in Dynamite Deka X: Asian Dynamite, The House Of The Dead 2, and Project X Zone. All of which are vastly superior to A Good Day To Die Hard, so there’s no doubting whose side we’re on.
