Movie adaptations of videogames have a fairly infamous reputation for being...well, let's be honest, terrible. But surely an entire genre can't be written off? Of the hundreds made so far, there must be a few good ones, right? Join hosts Jamie and Rory as they suffer through the seemingly endless sea of bad videogame movies in search of the few diamonds in the rough. There will be laughs, tears (mostly from Jamie) and nerdy details nobody could possibly care about!


Let us suffer through these terrible movies, so you don't have to!

Monster Hunter
As we rapidly approach the final ever episode of VGMP it wouldn't be right not to have Jamie do battle one more time with his arch-nemesis; Paul W.S. Anderson. After maiming the Resident Evil franchise with six increasingly bad instalments, Anderson turned his attention to another Capcom franchise; Monster Hunter. Once again casting Mila Jovovich, will Anderson have a better take on this source material than he did Resident Evil? (Spoiler Alert: He won't.)

Sweet Home
One that's been on Jamie's radar for a while now this week; Sweet Home is the first ever theatrically released videogame movie and was made in conjunction with its videogame counterpart (similar to previous episode Mirai Ninja). Perhaps more importantly, the film is directed by landmark J-Horror director Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse) and was one of the chief inspirations behind one of Jamie's all time favourite games; Resident Evil!

The Super Mario Bros. Movie
The record-breaking Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023 is the first videogame movie to break one billion dollars at the box office! This juggernaut film was initially met with controversy when Chris Pratt was cast as the voice of Mario but this didn't hinder the film when it came time to rake in the big bucks! This show started with the 1993 Super Mario movie so it feels fitting, as we near the final days of the show, to review the 2023 movie!

The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge
Now this is a real first, at least as far as we can see, massively popular videogame Fortnite used its engine to render a deleted sequence from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" and made it viewable in game. It was such an unusual and unexpected thing to happen, we just had to cover it.

Mirai Ninja

Now, you probably thought that Super Mario Bros. (1993) was the first videogame movie, right? That's what mummy and daddy told you when you were a tiny child who hadn't been awoken yet to how bad videogame movies could be? Well, your parents lied kid.


The ACTUAL first videogame movie is THIS: Mirai Ninja from the fine folks at Namco Bandai was made in conjunction with the videogame of the same name and was released in 1988 a full five years before Super Mario Bros. however, it was only released in Japan at the time which is why most people don't remember it.


This low budget movie is an odd blend of martial arts, sci-fi and Power Rangers. Seriously. It has to be seen to be believed.

King Koopa's Kool Kartoons

It wouldn't be the final days of VGMP without Jamie having one more rage-filled meltdown and Rory certainly saved the best for last! King Koopa's Kool Kartoons is a forgotten (not to mention lost) TV series from 1989, of which only 8 surviving minutes have been found. How bad can 8 minutes be?


Well, strap in and pop on your headphones as we discuss the worst eight minutes you have ever heard in your life.


Seriously.

Saturday Supercade
It's a bumper episode this week as we cover multiple game adaptations in one! Saturday Supercade was a compilation cartoon series which aired in the USA and included adaptations of games such as Donkey Kong, Q*Bert, Frogger and Space Ace amongst others!

Maniac Mansion
This is one of the oddest things we've ever covered here on VGMP. Purportedly based on a 1980s computer game (though bearing essentially no resemblance to said game), this sitcom includes Eugene Levy (Schitt's Creek, American Pie) amongst its writers and several guest stars including Martin Short and David Cronenberg. The show ran for 3 seasons in the early 90s but is now largely forgotten, so the question is, is there any value to be found in digging this back up?

Pac-Man
Way back in 1982 this cartoon show based on the hit arcade game "Pac-Man" was momentarily the most viewed Saturday morning cartoon on US Television. Featuring both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, the show adds a fifth ghost to the games usual cadre of four as well as an evil overlord character named Mezmero. Does a Saturday morning Pac-Man cartoon hold up in 2025? Does it remain as timeless as the classic arcade game or does it feel like a relic lost to time?

TV Powww!
A bonus mini-episode to look at this forgotten oddity from history; the TV Powww was a videogame system sold to local TV stations in the USA in the 1970s that allowed contestants to call up and play an interactive game by shouting the word "pow" into their phone.

Max Payne
Based on Remedy's hit action-noir game from the PS2 era, Max Payne stars Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis along with Beau Bridges and has a fairly poor reputation. Remedy are known for their excellent stories in videogames but how does that translate to the big screen? It's time to strap in and find out as we watch Max Payne.

The King of Fighters
Based on the SNK Fighting Game and featuring Nikita and Darth Maul, helmed by a prolific Hong Kong Director, The King Of Fighters is not a good movie. But it also isn't a boring movie. Combining cheesy one-liners, bright colours, martial arts and the biggest overuse of dutch angles you've ever seen, The King Of Fighters might not be good cinema, but it's certainly an experience.

Red Faction: Origins
An origins film that is neither the origins of its franchise nor a prequel at all. Red Faction: Origins is actually the sequel to Red Faction: Guerilla and follows the son of that game's protagonist. A low budget sci-fi epic made by the SyFy Channel...the odds aren't in this films favour.

Warcraft
Based upon one of the biggest MMORPG's of all time and helmed by a lauded indie darling, Duncan Jones (Moon) attempts to bring World Of Warcraft to the big screen. Jamie and Rory know very little about WoW, will the movie be an accessible starting point or will they be completely lost? There's only one way to find out...

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
This is it. The one we've been building to since the very first episode of VGMP (seriously, I'm fairly certain Jamie went on a rant about this movie in that very first episode). The one Jamie has been dreading. The final instalment in Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil series. Jamie considers The Final Chapter to be one of the worst movies he has ever seen, will the passage of time have softened his opinion or will he hate it just as much? And what will Rory make of this franchise ender? Listen to find out!

Werewolves Within
Based on the VR game this horror comedy was a little-seen indie movie that probably deserved more eyes on it. When a new park ranger arrives in a town filled with oddball residents, he enters a tense situation spurred on by a wealthy oil magnate. Things go from bad to worse however when a werewolf arrives on the scene!

Dead Rising: Endgame
A while back, now defunct network Crackle made a Dead Rising movie called "Watchtower." Turns out they also made a sequel and we're watching it today on VGMP! "Dead Rising: Endgame" sees Jesse Metcalfe return along with Dennis Haysbert and a bunch of new characters including an appearance from Billy Zane making another videogame movie appearance! The first movie was a bit disappointing for the guys so how will this second instalment fare?

Until Dawn
This interactive slasher game was a big success for Sony at one point and inspired a whole wave of similar games including The Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry, but one might wonder if there is any point in turning a game that was essentially a playable movie into a regular old non-playable movie. On this episode of VGMP, Jamie and Rory take a look to see if Until Dawn makes for a good movie.
