Dumb Video Game Movies!

Post by **benheck** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 11:48 am

Ok so that's one of the more redundant things I've ever typed.

But with Spy Hunter (WHY?) and Doom coming out, there's no shortage videogame movies anytime soon!

Since it seems they'll turn ANY game into a movie, why don't we think of some that would just be RIDICULAS! (They'll probably greenlight them all) Or good even (That won't be greenlit:)

Requirements of answers:

Game/Movie title (natch)
Basic plot
3-4 main stars (must use actual actors)
Movie Tagline (has to sell the movie and sound "cool")

Have fun!

Super Mario World (I believe the original was Brothers)

Prepare to get really excited as you watch Mario go through 96 gates! Can he make it? Can he find the infamous 'Top Secret Area'? Can he beat my personal record of 12 minutes 36 seconds? WATCH AND FIND PUT!!!!

Starring: Danny Devito (as Super Mario), Some really tall guy (as Luigi), and The Loch Ness Monster (as Bowser)

Tagline: Get that mushroom!

Space Invaders:
Defend Earth from the evil invaders by shooting through your own shield!!

As far as the original mario game goes, Ron Jeremi makes a much better Mario:

Excite Bike:
It'd be like "Fast and the Furious", just with even crappier actors

Duck Hunt:
Watch as the dog just laughs at you!!!

Yeah, but Danny is short, and he seems to get angry pretty easy, and Bowser doesn't want an angry Mario...

Plus there has already been a Super Mario Bros movie.

Maybe it should be about the Original Mario game, you know, the one included inside of Super Mario Bros. 3?
(Oh yeah, and that game would be almost as bad as a pong movie

)

This movie would be great. I love Commander Keen... games, and own all the games (although 1 of my floppy's has DIED!

) I run XP, which is a problem, unless I use DOSBox, or use an older computer.

Is it legal if I burnt all of the floppy disks to a CD, and kept it around, so I still have them, even if my disks all die? Since I use XP, could I use DOSBox to run them (I have done this in the past, just I have switched computers).
