5 of the worst video game movies part 1
April 27th, 2007
Video games can be extremely well written and exciting to play. I remember playing Jurassic Park on the Nintendo (I think it may have been the Super NES) and as part of the game you had to walk through the buildings and ships in 3D (like Wolfenstein) wearing night goggles. It was in surround sound and just really atmospheric. Awesome.
Now video game based movies are more often than not really really awful. So with this list I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy watching the film I just know that it is pretty bad.
Double Dragon
I devoted a good many hours playing this with the most basic graphics on the Atari (unlike the PC version which was pretty much like the arcade) and if you’ve seen the Atari version you know how good an imagination I have!!!! Well my imagination isn’t elaborate enough to imagine a good film. Interesting cast with Scott Wolf, Robert Patrick and Alyssa Milano. Ok maybe not that interesting after all.
It’s been a long time since I’ve watched this film because I’d do anything for you guys but I won’t do that… no I won’t do that. Actually I suppose if I had it readily available I’d probably crack it open and have a look. If I remember it correctly they actually tried to cram a storyline in there - which surprised me because who wouldn’t stay glued to a plot involving dudes walking down streets and bashing each other?
A couple of quick questions though, is this the film that things started to go right for Alyssa Milano? Is it the film where everything started to go wrong for Scott Wolf? Do you think Robert Patrick laughed as he cashed his cheque???
Now let me warn you this is not the worst of these films by any means check back for part two!!!
