Ok, is this movie based on that game I've heard of?

Yep.  The scary computer game I played many years ago that was so scary because of the jerky low-polygon 3-d animation.

SCARY.

I'm not just making fun of it either.  Take a rabid scary monster with lots of teeth. Then render it badly on a slow processor.  Twice as scary.

Who is paying Uwe Boll to make movies? And why do big name stars agree to be in any of his movies. Sir Ben Kingsley is in Bloodrayne, for crying out loud. I don't understand it. Boll's movies are horrible! Just inept in every way I can think of.

And that was me being nice.

I guess I'm just sad, because he's got the rights to the Far Cry movie, a game I worked on, and I have absolutely no hope at all that any movie he makes will be even moderately watchable.

I don't even know if I'll get around to renting this one.

I may have seen House of the Dead in the theatres Rican, but I never said that it was a good flick, and I haven't rented it since.

And besides, House of the Dead was a zombie movie and that is entirely diffent than a cheap knock off of Aliens.

even so, since when does a horrible, b-rated SCI-FI movie knock-off keep you from seeing it in the theater?  And I thought you were a true sci-fi addict!  ;D

I would have gone and seen House of the Dead in the theaters, but some butt-darts (who shall remain nameless) went and saw it without me.  >:(

You have a point MoreDew.

I will probably go see it, but I think that it will be in the shallow end of the B rated movie gene pool.

The only reason I think it is even being put out now is because AVP is now out on DVD/Video.  Were it still in the theatres Alone in the Dark wouldn't have a chance.

P.S.  Sorry for the insult MoreDew.

I remember seeing an interview with Raul Julia right before he died, and he was talking about Street Fighter. He said the reason he took the role was because his son was such a huge fan of the game, and his son thought it was really cool his dad had a chance to be in the movie. So while you will never hear me say anything along the lines of "This is a great movie" I personally can think of no better role to take as a final role than one that was done to please a member of your family.

That being said, you couldn't strap me down and force me to sit through that movie again. The only reason I saw it the first time was back when I was living in Salt Lake, my AC went out in my top-floor apartment. In order to escape the heat of a brutal summer, I would walk over to Trolley Square and sit through a movie, ANY movie, just to sit in the AC for a couple hours. In retrospect, though, I think I should have suffered through the heat.

the only comfort I have in having seen Street Fighter the Movie is knowing that I didn't pay money to see it in the theater.  Thanks Sprig!!
