[#SilentHill at 20] The Shocking Similarities Between ‘Silent Hill’ and ‘Kindergarten Cop’

You’ve maybe already seen people talking about this over the years, but if you haven’t, prepare to have your mind blown. Back in 2017, Reddit user Pixelmasterz uploaded a series of side-by-side screen grabs from the 1990 comedy Kindergarten Cop and the 1999 game Silent Hill, and believe it or not, the two share way more in common than you could ever possibly imagine.

As it turns out, the school from Silent Hill is almost exactly the same as the school from Kindergarten Cop, right down to tiny details and little bits of set decoration. It seems clear that the game’s developers based the fictional American school in Silent Hill on the school seen in Kindergarten Cop, and it’s actually kind of hilarious how spot-on they were in recreating it.

In doing research about this, we stumbled upon a video that highlights all the similarities, which you can find underneath the aforementioned Reddit image below. The video digs even deeper into the connection between the two, showing that the game lifted more than just the school design. The outfit Harry wears throughout Silent Hill is the same as the one Arnold Schwarzenegger wears in Kindergarten Cop, and the plots are even incredibly similar.

Pretty wild. And kind of… creepy?

Anya Taylor-Joy fights the world in George Miller’s hotly anticipated Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the upcoming prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road that’s coming next month.

Warner Bros.’ Furiosa has been rated “R” this week for…

“Sequences of strong violence, and grisly images.”

Furiosa will release in theaters on May 24, 2024. The film will tell the origin story of the character Charlize Theron made famous in Fury Road, also directed by George Miller.

“As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by the Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.”

Chris Hemsworth co-stars as Warlord Dementus.

“Whereas Fury Road essentially happened over three days and two nights, this happens over many years,” Miller had teased during a press conference last year.

Miller is co-writing and directing the movie for Warner Bros.

Back in 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road grossed nearly $400 million worldwide at the box office and won SIX Oscars, while also scoring rave reviews nearly across the entire board.

Last we heard, Miller also intends on making sequels centered on Tom Hardy‘s Mad Max.
