Nick’s Top 3 Video Game Movies
Like we argued on this week’s show about video game movies, here my top 3 favorites from this extremely unliked genre.
1. Mortal Kombat
In my opinion, this is the best video game adaptation.The story is a straight forward telling of the game. The fights are well choreographed/edited, and the acting is good.
The negetive right up front is Goro, where was Stan Winston?
The gripe is Christopher Lambert’s descison to have Rayden crack a laugh.
Like I’ve mentioned to our fellow podcast associates World’s Finest, that it’s fine for Batman to chuckle a bit, but having full blown laughter, during the Super-Friends era and at the end of the famous graphic novel “The Killing Joke”, it’s breaking the grain of his character.
2. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
This what the live action version should’ve been.Like I’ve said on this week’s show, it says alot that Capcom can do a better film then Hollywood.
Again it’s straight forward, but it has substance, Interpol with Chun Li and the U.S. Military with Guile team up to stop Shadowlaw from turning fellow fighters around the world into mindless soldiers for their cause of superiority.
It’s really a sideplot, the main characters are Ryu and Ken, their past and ultimately reunite to end Bison’s reign of terror.
Great fight scene in the entire film is Chun Li vs Vega in her apartment.
3. Super Mario Bros.
I’ll be hated across the internet for this, but I don’t care, doesn’t matter what anyone says, in this case, it’s true to the outline as you can get.If you pay attention, there are a ton of easter eggs to the game in this movie, so don’t tell me about it not staying true enough.
What I like about it is how they ground the characters in reality, down on their luck plumbers from Brooklyn, New York and Samantha Mathis, to which I thought was Elizabeth Banks for awhile, a college student through extraordinary circumstances become a princess and the two bickering brothers turn into heroes of an alternate world to stop King Koopa.
I will agree that the acting is a little poor, but it’s the chemistry of John Leguizamo and the casting genius of Bob Hoskins as Mario Mario, it comes through in every scene there in, and Dennis Hopper, it’s acceptable.
They wouldn’t be called “The Mario Bros”. if their last names weren’t Mario and face the fact Mario fans, if you did they did the actual Mushroom Kingdom, the turtle Koopa and walking mushroom Kompas of the games, it would look absolutely retarded in live action.

"Siren" Director’s Cut
The behind the the scenes clip for next week’s Black Canary episode is here.
It’s cool to see Dinah and Ollie work together, but my gripe is that it looks like GA and Lex are doing Gun Kata.
As you should know that scenes or lines of dialouge we see in clips don’t make it to the final cut, for once, this fight should be edited down.

"Siren" Radio Ad
Last night, The CW didn’t show a trailer for the Black Canary episode, but some reason they ran a radio ad instead.
