I've never seen it, but my brother always raved about it. Especially Raul Julia's casting. He knows its a bad movie night and when he used to have people over for Bad Movie Night parties it was one of the movies he did.
The one scene I know about is the Tuesday speech that is pretty famous. I do like that part, which is the only part of the movie I've seen.
What a great actor compared to the movie he was starring in.
I've always been a huge fan of the Super Mario Bros. movie they did around the same time. There was a certain charm to those 90's failures that you couldn't replicate in today's video game adaptation failures that are just objectively bad, and arguably purposefully so.

Yeah really famous that one, so outrageous and its become own set piece of characters done again and again, yeah a scene like that can be cliche but if you play with a Cartoon Trope, Book, Movie Tropes it can become legendary. An evolution on storytelling a funny twist on consistent or expected use of certain character. We expect something of The Protagonist, victims of the Joker and Batman...then a funny spin... and evil past, an action by The Antagonist, part of its own Song verse, Rolling Stones Hope you guess my name But what's puzzlin' you Is the nature of my game, Stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Tsar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain... almost seems a bit Inigo Montoya from 'The Princess Bride' or "Tombigbee" by Tori Amos...The Entertainer by Billy Joel ...The vil has to be Super-Bad...Thanos vs the Scarlett Witch ...he kills so many...'I Dont Even Know Who You Are' became its own trope or almost cliche but its hard to beat the over acted cheese of the original Street Fighter.

If "the future" is that Hollywood thinks that video game adaptation milking is it's next big 20 year cash cow, I'd forget about it.
Mindcraft likely did well because it had minimal influence from the suits and probably wasn't taken all that seriously despite the rather hefty budget (like all big movies, in a year when horror movies are now costing 50 to 90 Million to make, apparently).
Now we've got Super Mario and Minecraft being runaway successes when Disney can't put a hit out to literally save it's life. The suits are going to all want a piece of the video game franchise market.
They're going to try to make money at it, but whatever most of them touch is going to end up not only failing in theaters, (like Borderlands did), but could actively do brand damage and make games uncool to the kids, which is the worst thing they could possibly do. (Like they did with Star Wars, Marvel, DC, etc.)
At least with Borderlands it was never a hugely mainstream thing and since they haven't put out a decent game in about a decade and those fans mostly grew up and moved on, I don't think anybody really noticed it and no real brand damage was done. Put out another great Borderlands game and people will come back to play that and ignore that the movie was ever a thing that happened.
Star Wars was too big to fail, and now that it did you're not going to be able to bring it back to life. Especially not when the screwed up the one chance to have all of the main actors from the OG series on screen together and they wasted that opportunity on whatever they call that trash they put out. It could have been a moment that adults, particularly dads, shared with their kids with a great story wrapped up around it and you could have milked Star Wars for another generation.
Instead of that all we got was abuse from people who are now almost all unemployed, and covens of magical gay witches telling us that Jedis were Nazis.
Good Job, Disney. Well done.
Can't wait to see you screw up some video games now.

I'm only interested if they're made by companies in Japan.
Nobody wants to see Metroid ruined by Hollywood and their propaganda. They were just lobbying to force a dude as Zelda, and freaked out when they picked a good looking white girl for the role instead.
Strange that Metroid wasn't on this list. That game usually ranks among the top of these wishlists.
None of those games need movies. They were better than most movies as they were, in the media they were designed for.
Truth be told, I haven't played most of them, but that's only because I ducked out on the newer systems and the "always online" culture of new games. But I've played early games from 3 of those 7 IP's all the way through, and I was living with my brother while he was playing through at least one game from three of the others I didn't play myself. The only IP I haven't played or seen somebody play in person is Alan Wake, and at least the first game from that series has a reputation that precedes itself.
Hell... My first personal contact with Metal Gear Solid was the original Metal Gear on Nintendo, and Snake's Revenge a few years later. Back in the early 90's is when I played them, but they probably came out in the late 80's before I got them. The last game I played in that series was on the OG Playstation and probably came out before whoever wrote this article was born.
Unless you're going to come out and bring something to the screen at least as good as season 1 of the Fallout streaming show was for any of them, please don't even bother trying.
There is already such a long, long list if movie and streaming TV show video game failures out there already. And what's worse is all the failures in the last 5 years are so cynically and Hollywood-typically cash-grabby that you can't even enjoy any of them when they're bad, like you could the ones coming out back in the 90's and early to mid 2000's.
Please learn your lessons from Star Wars and Marvel/DC. Or you're just going to burn the excitement for Movie/TV adaptations of games to the ground in 10 years like you do everything else. I think in this culture today I'd only give you a year or two before you kill it.
Prove me wrong.
And don't even TOUCH the Souls/Bloodborne games. Unless Hidetaka Miyazaki has TOTAL AND COMPLETE CREATIVE CONTROL over the movie/show, you WILL ruin it. And I would NOT want to be on the other side of THAT fan base after you've DEI-ified everything and shit all over them. Don't even think about it.
