Final Fight: The Movie
Sunday, January 25th, 2009Thank God for the interenet. Where would we be without it? We wouldn’t get to see any awesome fan movies based on video games, that’s for sure. This little video is a teaser for a movie based on Final Fight, which so far is not real, unless Chris R. Notarile of Blinky Productions gets his way.
I’ve got to say that a movie based on a mustachioed, wrestler Mayor sounds like gold. Throw in two buddies and have them slowly walk from left to write punching, kicking, and body slamming hundreds of opponents with the occasional break of fighting a mini-boss until they eventually take down the main villain, then you have a Oscar contender on your hands. I know what you’re say, doesn’t this sound like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? Okay, you’re right but Final Fight came out in arcades way before the film version of Benjamin Button was released. The novelization was written prior to Final Fight, yes, but in the novel they walked from left to right. Clearly that’s an entirely different story right there.
By the way, Notarile has also filmed fan film type stuff for Powergirl and if he were to make any film based upon an established property, I’d kill to see a live action Powergirl film over any film based on a video game. I’m sure this will never happen as the amount of nudity that I’d demand in a Powergirl film would never allow it to be shown in theaters.
