Worst game movie evah? EDIT: KOF MOVIE TRAILER

[Skykid]

In terms of topics it's an oldie but a goodie, inspired by finding myself watching Mortal Kombat on Halloween night.

So which is the worst of the bunch. For me, it might be Double Dragon. It starts okay and then goes so wrong, practically put me to sleep. Worst £2.99 I ever spent.


EDIT: COMEDY GOLD:

Mario Bros

Don't know what you guys are all talking about because you just listed the best video game movies:
Mortal Kombat (legitimately good martial arts film, I love it; sequel, however, sucked)
Street Fighter (good in a campy sort of way. my friends and I still do the sideways thumbs-up that zangeif does)
Mario Bros (this one is so bizarre it's hilarious; and the fact that they made Yoshi into a badass velociraptor redeems any other flaws such as the appearance of the goombas)

[neist]

Double Dragon is definitely the worst I've seen.

It's plain terrible. I mean, at least the Street Fighter movie was laughable.

[The Coop]

"Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"- The first movie was actually pretty good. So what the fuck happened to result with this cinematic suppository? Cramming in cameo after cameo, making the plot pretty well non-existent... even the fights were poorly choreographed compared to the first one. I hope the rumors of a third film for the franchise aren't true. I think MK:A (both the movie and the GBA game) did enough to it already.

[dcharlie]

house of the dead : shockingly awful.

[Arcatech]

A lot of people I know liked the Resident evil movies, but I couldn't get into them at all. Just had to much of that Hollywood cg bullshit.

Why couldnt they just have based the plot on the games themselves? Just put the stars team in a scary mansion...

[Cthulhu]

House of the Dead probably gets my vote too.

Street Fighter is also complete drek but is more fun to watch and laugh at than HotD. Wing Commander was shite too from what I hear, but I missed out on it.

Super Mario Bros. is certainly no film classic but it doesn't come near the level of awfulness HotD or SF reaches by any means.

They made a Farcry movie? Wow, I feel out of it. Guess it was that "good".

[Jockel]

Don't get me started on lousy video game movies, i live in the country that brought up Uwe Boll, after all.

[Skykid]

I haven't seen HOTD yet - it really looks like a stinker though.

It's funny that in a really cheesy martial arts movie way, Mortal Kombat does actually hold together fairly well - and there are plenty of references to the game too. It's crap, sure - but still probably the best thing that [the unmentionable one] has ever made.

He butchered Resi though, it still makes me angry to think Romero had just watched his son play the entire game, had formulated a script, and then got told he had to make it a 12 instead of an 18 rated movie, so refused.

God damn your idiocy Hollywood.

[Mortificator]

Michael Madson allegedly had to be drunk everyday in order to endure participating in BloodRayne.

Then the second movie had vampire cowboys.

[Khan]

oh god street fighter was terrible, I felt embarrased watching it, bloodrayne was a joke too. Mortal kombatt I thought was garbage too I watched alone in the dark a couple of months ago and it was less than average imo I still havent watched the dead or alive movie despite having it somewhere in my room for ages lol

[jonny5]

the first resident evil film was good....im not at all familiar with the game tho....but as a zombie flick, it did its job nicely....

The RE movies weren't that bad. Actually, I rather enjoyed the series for what it was - popcorn horror. Those don't suck even remotely as bad as Super Mario Bros. That movie is so awful - despite my undying love for all things Mario, I wouldn't even buy a copy on DVD to add to a "bad movie" collection. It's that wretched. I can't believe Bob Hoskins whored himself out for that crap-fest.

[Arcatech]

Had no idea Romero was thinking of doing the Resi movie. That would have been a dream come true.

Watched Day of the Dead recently and just proves to me how great of a filmmaker he was. Resi might have been a good popcorn flick but I dont think it compares to Romero's output.

- The Goonies: After playing the hell out of the game on the MSX as a kid, I was pretty happy to know there was a movie about it. After watching it, I was like "Wtf did I just watch? This has nothing to do with the game.". But in this case the game was inspired in the movie, so I guess it doesn't count.
- Dungeons & Dragons: It was terrible for the people familiar with its universe. The beholder scene in particular was outrageous.
- Final Fantasy Spirits Within: It was such a disaster it made Squaresoft merge with Enix just to avoid closing its doors.
- Shadow of the Colossus Movie: Expected to be a trainwreck.
- Legend of Chun-li: I don't even dare to watch this one...

Anyway, I've yet to see a GOOD game movie. Not 'so bad it's good', but a genuinely good movie.

Dragon Ball Z Evolution.

Have you seen what Romero has been putting out zombie-wise lately?
I doubt he would have done a better job with the film if his current output is anything to go on. Butthurt, hard-to-please gamers aside, I don't see what was so bad about the first RE film. I thought Anderson did a fine job with what he had to work with considering the source material wasn't exactly Shakespeare either.

[Arcatech]

I just thought they went to far with it is all. There was a part in there where they open a door and there are like a million zombies waiting for them. How over the top do you have to go to sell a movie?

LOL - That's SO bad!

It's actually not funny. Even though I pissed myself laughing at it, I'm crying on the inside. Wtf is going on with all the white people? Why is Terry an old man?

Where the fuck are Mai's tits?

THIS DESERVES TO FAIL.

[AraraSPAMWitch]

Where the fuck are Mai's tits?

Fucking truth...If the actress wears a v-neck in the interview and I can't see the tiniest slit of cleavage, something is amiss. That shit should be exploding off the screen. Vice and Mature, though sufficiently chested, just look dumb, and I didn't watch closely enough to notice if Vanessa was there but I didn't see her so fuck this movie.

But yeah, how can anyone hate the first Mortal Kombat movie? That was great. I used to set the techno theme song as my wakeup alarm for a few months, it was the best start to any morning. I still walk around singing that song to myself when I need a pick-me-up, sad but true.

The second one, though...

[Skykid]

Omfg, I just realised Ray Park is playing Rugal. I used to drink in the pub with that guy.

The irony of life.

[Stormwatch]

Dungeons & Dragons: It was terrible for the people familiar with its universe. The beholder scene in particular was outrageous.

Read this interview with the director. In fact he had intended to just produce, not direct it; but TSR's retarded owner rejected every director he brought -- James Cameron, Renny Harlin, Francis Ford Coppola. Then TSR got bought by WOTC and the new owners filed a lawsuit against him; he had little choice but settle, but was forced to direct it himself, and use an old, inferior script rather than a vastly improved one that was more faithful to D&D.

[BrianC]

ugh. Everything in that KoF trailer is pedestrian looking. Even the lighted up fists look boring.

[Thunder Force]

Ha ha, I know, we were all weirded out when he turned up in Star Wars fresh after stunt doubling for Raiden in... Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
