Mission Impossible

Correct. Tricky in that the plot summary of the movie’s antagonists is in this instance the non-Bizarro world one.
A corporation is trying to retrieve it’s legally owned property from a remote island, but it’s efforts are hampered by clueless scientists and an amoral terrorist. Many people die as a result and the ones responsible are never brought to justice.
Jurassic Park?
lisiate may have pipped you, but you get spelling credits
Think it’s Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World
Right you are.
I never realized that the previous answer given for this has the same basic plot as what I thought it was after the first sentence…
Hamlet
The previous answer seems far more likely, given that the story as above doesn’t quite work for what I have - but it’s eerily similar.
A town sheriff is forced to resort to ever harsher tactics to try to catch a thief who constantly steals from town and distributes the loot among his friends. The thief then disrupts the sheriff’s wedding and one of his companions kills the sheriff’s mother.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
This one may trick you…
Mad doctor creates life by using old corpse to re-create a powerful animate being. Being is caged up like an animal but escapes its confines to wreak havoc on those around it.
An unwashed, unemployed and possibly disgraced mercenary needlessly goads coexisting business enterprises into senseless bloodshed, ultimately ending in their mutual annihilation.
Last Man Standing?
Traumatized veteran returns home after an extended tour and goes on a rampage of mass murder, finally driven mad by multiple acts of apparent infidelity. Men and women alike die in the horrifying bloodbath.
I was thinking of Yojimbo, but Last Man Standing and Fistful of Dollars are both remakes and work as well.
The obvious answer on first pass is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and its various remakes. But since you’ve tagged it as a trick question, we’ll keep working on it.
Meanwhile…
A jovial band of highwaymen, who enjoy that rare commodity in their profession – extended cooperation – are astonished that they have been robbed. In their attempts to steal back their properly stolen goods, all except the leader get killed. The leader attempts to commit vigilante justice for the multiple murders, only to have his cover blown by that annoying thief’s all-to-clever aide.
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves?
In the Middle East, an occupying army finds itself harrassed by a ragtag band of insurgents - who, it transpires, are not only being supplied with weapons by a hostile power, but actually led by a soldier of that power.
Very good, Stan.

Bizarrely I’d looked it up just the other day.
And correct!
