Of all videogames to never get a movie treatment...

[Earthquake24]

Contra has to be near the top of the list.




Sly and Schwartzenegger doing battle with Red Falcon and its alien army. How did Konami get away from any lawsuits using those likenesses?

 

[andsuchisdeath]

I couldn't see it happening.

Though I am surprised there was never an Earnest Evans or Eswat movie. I think both would be prime Hollywood material. I don't know.

 

[Cylotron]

where's the bad dudes movie?

 

[hyper]

I was thinking load runner

That or Yo! Noid

 

[Don]

where's the bad dudes movie?

nothing says Hollywood like being a bad enough dude to save the president

Not just any President... President Ronnie!

Still waiting for a Final Fight movie. With this "grindhouse" stuff being so popular, it could get a green light.... shit just throw in a bunch of College on the soundtrack and you got a certain cult classic.

It would be kinda funny to cause STREETS OF FIRE inspired the game.

Metal Gear is going to take Hollywoods big sweaty cock next.

I remember a Final Fight movie being posted here a few years ago, not sure if it was kickstarter or not. What was shown was incredibly amateur that wouldn't have done the game any justice, to be honest.

There's a pretty cool fan trailer of a fake Contra movie made splicing up different movies set to the tune of More Human Than Human. I liked it. Find it on youtube because I can't.

How about Uwe Boll does...SPLATTERHOUSE!?

Found it!

Here is another

[SNKorSWM]

Hope they never taint the Contra legacy by releasing a movie.

 

[Tron]

Now where's that metroid movie

 

[Moon Jump]

I kinda wanted to see The Rock in Spy Hunter. I love that fucking game, it'd be all the impossible stunts from a Fast and Furious movie with a James Bond car with all the gadgets. I also wanted to see that fan made movie of River City Ransom. Some guys were playing it at a convention I went to and I got to see the part where the one guy's yelling, "You THREW brass knuckles at me!?? WHY!?!"

So, you're saying John Crawley taught the Bad Dudes everything they know?

This is a fucking great idea. Fantasy is huge right now, and if made properly, this would be a huge hit.

I'd like to see a Ninja Gaiden movie get made, myself. Or a Strider movie. Something with ninjas and crazy action.

I wouldn't want to see a movie made of any game that already lends itself to a cinematic presentation. So no Uncharted, no The Last of Us, etc. Give us movies where anything can happen. Movies where anything can happen and that aren't restricted by the grounded storytelling of their sources.

cyber lip.
do it all tokyo gore police style with the giant old man head penis boss and blood everywhere.

 

[El Maricon Loco]

These movie suggestions are cracking my shit up. Thank you all!

 

[Tarma]

I'd go see an Out Run movie.

Dunno what route they'd take to make it though.

Disney to make a feature length New Zealand Story movie

They did do an Earnest Evans movie.

It was called Indiana Jones

Interestingly enough, he moved like a marionette in kingdom of the crystal skull. Man that movie sucked.
