Video Game Movie Night

Movies based on video games are on an amazing run. They've yet to make a good one. Even board games have a good movie under their belts.



The first video game movie was Super Mario Bros. and it ruined it for everyone. Now there will never be an Alex Kidd movie with Ben Savage as Alex Kidd



and Ron Perlman as Janken the Great.



John Leguizamo (Luigi) returns to Bad Movie Night for the first time since Land of the Dead. That was shown on Dennis Hopper Movie Night so it's the return of him (King Koopa) as well. Because of Terminator and Millennium I always need to be reminded of Lance Henriken's (The King) extensive B-movie credentials. He's back for the first time since The Visitor. But the actor who maybe has the record for the longest absence (it's not like I have a team of researchers) is Fisher Stevens (Iggy). It's been 470 movies since we've seen him in The Burning.



On the Double Dragon side of things Al Leong from Savage Beach is back, Michael Berryman breaks Fisher Stevens record from a minute ago with 521 movies since Invitation to Hell (Standard Invitation to Hell clip:)



and Vanna White breaks Michael Berryman's record from a second ago with 527 movies since Graduation Day. Standard Graduation Day clip:



Because of Terminator 2 and X-Files I always need to be reminded of Robert Patrick's B-movie credentials. He's in Future Hunters, which we haven't seen.



But what I find most curious is that Dennis Hopper, Fisher Stevens, Al Leong and Michael Berryman are all in the seemingly unrelated My Science Project. Weird.



Here's what happened last week:
