"Fame" may possibly hold some sort of unacknowledged record for creating more failed imitations of it's groundbreaking and critically acclaimed 1980 Oscar-winning success than any other single film in Hollywood history. Some of the more egregious examples being "Headin' For Broadway" (1980), "Beat Street" (1984), "Fast Forward" (1985), "Rooftops" (1989), "Sing" (1989), and the basic "struggling young artists" premise heavily altered and revised to more upbeat Reagan-era "inspirational" themes (rather than the darker-hued and more dramatically realistic/pessimistic tone Alan Parker infused in the original film) in later box-office "F-series" successes like "Flashdance" (1983) and "Footloose" (1984). Even by 2003, this phenomena continued with Todd Graff's "Camp", described by critics as "the newest version of Alan Parker's 'Fame', minus anything of importance to say".
