Spy Hunter

I bet now that Doom was such a massive flop, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is feeling a bit iffy on his upcoming film version of Spy Hunter.

I can smell what The Rock is cookin' and it's stinking the whole place up!

Ahem. Anyway, I loved the video game Spy Hunter when I was a kid. I sucked, but I loved it. Zooming down those endless streets, releasing all those nifty weapons like Oil Slick and Exhaust Cloud and watching the bad guys spin out. All set to that bad-ass soundtrack.

But how in the name of all holy fuck did anyone think they could make a movie out of this? I guess we have The Fast & The Furious to blame? See, cuz they drive cars, and the game is about driving... or something. I don't know. STUPID.

Here's an image of one of the bad guys, though... THERE WERE NO PEOPLE in the game, JUST CARS, but whatever.

But hey, if it means we'll get a cool remix of the game's soundtrack, I'm down with that.

You can play an online version of the game over here, where you steer with your mouse, which I like much better than steering with the keyboard arrows, which always makes me unreasonably tense.
