See, I’d agree with your assessment of this movie, buuuuut one thing keeps me from being on board. That, of course, being that the women are flat flat flat. Seriously, no jiggle, man, no size! A DOA movie without double D’s is…like, blasphemy!

Still pretty cool that they included Hayabusa in this; they normally don’t get the rights for the in-canon characters from other games. XD

Anyone else hoping Spoony does a Ninja Movie Review Marathon after this?

Kane Kosugi played Ryu in the DOA movie. Irony being Ryu Hayabusa was actually based on his dad Sho Kosugi, the man who put the NINJA in the ninja movie. He STARTED the entire movie craze.

This was a great review Spoony but you forgot one very important thing. You said that, as a Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa should be a master of stealth and infiltration. If the Ninja Gaiden series has taught me anything Ryu Hayabusa is a master of using physical force to achieve his goals as opposed to actually acting like a Ninja. I can see why you would get confused though.

You know… now that you mention it, Spoony… I think I’d really like to see one of these tournament movies where the organizer really DOESN’T have an evil plan. Seriously, he (or she) just wants to have some fun with the crapton of money they have and thought that a martial arts tournament on [insert exotic locale here] would be AWESOME. Maybe sell the footage, but only really to recoupe some of the investment; the whole thing is really just some rich dude being bored and thinking of a kickass way to enjoy their money.

Bonus points if the organizer is completely incompetent at fighting and so uses the tournament as a kind of third-person wish fulfillment.

I don’t know what the lesbian equivalent of a Kenny Logins soundtrack is… maybe something by KD Lang?

The only way this review would be funnier is if you did it as Doctor Insano, and have Linkara bound to a chair and forced to watch this film.

Anonymous

Yes, this is the best of the movies you ave reviewed this month. The others took themselves too seriously. It’s a movie about a fucking console fighter, it’s supposed to be a joke.

Of course the villain’s plan made no sense. Why kidnap people. He injected them by nanites, he could just ask them to return the nanites after the tournament. But, I guess Eric Roberts can’t resist the urge to do the evulz. Also, who would care about mafiosos buying technology making them good at martial arts? That won’t help them against guns. And speaking of guns, why does Eric Roberts have ninja guards when he clearly could afford real guards armed with fucking guns.

And then Hayabusa. Why did they made him a wimp. This is my biggest complain. They made the hero of Ninja Gaiden a wimp.

But all in all, this movie never took itself seriously, and that’s why it work much better than Tekken and KoF.

Yes, I was also disturbed by the Film Brain hate on this site.

Also, I’d love for a follow-up analysis of fighting movies where Spoony establishes how a GOOD videogame conversion could be made. He’s pointed out several great points, but why not put them all together and make a legitimate proposal for Hollywood?

Why would we wanna stop a Spoony/Film Brain crossover?! I love Film Brain! When I found out he was gonna be in this review I was overjoyed!

Couldn’t agree more, and this review used Film Brain really well. It was a good cameo appearance the worked. I say more cross-overs are welcome. I personally think Cinema Snob is the best match for Spoony for cross-overs but I like Film Brain and his sarcastic over-acting is so delightfully hammy. It works in the same the same way Kryton in Red Dwarf works. Still, I would like to see more of Spoony’s old-school style, we haven’t seen much classic old game critique, think FMV hell and Final Fantasy VIII. I kinda want to see that cynicism and scathing critique more.

ahh I have been waiting for this one for quite a while and wow was this movie terrible, while it is true that the DOA series doesn’t have the most complex story it is still there well somewhat I mean most of the story is revenge based and something to do with Super Soldier creation. Again this was one hell of a review and thx again for signing my copy of DOA Dimensions at ConBravo can’t wait to see whats next

Guess who needs to watch a real movie for a real human beings called “Drive”?! YOU, Spoony, you do.

Why is this series called “Dead or Alive” anyways? AFAIK, NOBODY EVER DIES. And this is not like in Mortal Kombat were people get maimed and just pop up for the next fight. It’s just a normal fighting tournament.

Team Ninja – revolutionizing breast physics since 1996
(Although I think it got slightly Uncanny Valley when they decided to let each breast jiggle independently – sometimes in opposite directions)

What Ninja clan stands around in light samurai armor holding ginormous purple flags all day?

And if your great escape scene would make classic James Bond shake his head in disbelief, you’re doing something wrong.

(Plus, I don’t think the Japanese build that massive – especially if no one can possibly reach it anyways)

When it comes to inviting people in tournaments, giant shuriken are about as silly as magic earpieces that transport you into another dimension.

I’m not surprised about the eye shadows (in movies, every woman has perma-make-up). I’m surprised they remembered to NOT dry and style her hair.

Why watches? Don’t they announce the fights, anyways?

And it doesn’t matter if Hayana catched him. He was kicked through concrete and slammed against solid wood. I don’t think there’s much left of his spine.

Wait. Did he ran this tournament for years and only now decided to test out his sunglasses, or did he came up with this plan just a few months before? And what’s the deal with the sunglasses? Using them will brand you as a rich poser, they are probably not allowed in any kind of tournament, and if you just want to kick other peoples asses, you’ll probably get either lead in the head or a taser to the balls.
Oh, and being able to predict moves is one thing. Having the physical strength, dexterity and stamina to avoid the moves is a whole different story.

If only all video game adaptations were so hard to fuck up. But playing the games would probably blow then.

The reason why the series is called Dead or Alive is the same reason Squaresoft called Final Fantasy Final Fantasy Tecmo was in serious financial trouble and decided to gamble everything on DOA to get them out of the red and well it worked
- http://UnholyFireDragon.com Unholy Fire Dragon
  
  The irony here, however, is that…
  
  DOA had two choices: being dead or alive
  FF had one choice: being the final (i.e. ending) fantasy
  
  DOA’s title would’ve worked whether it failed or not, but apparently FF’s title earned an epic fail by being a never-ending story! LOL
  - doresh
    
    I wouldn’t call it “never-ending story”, since the individual games have nothing to do with each other. The epic fail comes from Square-Enix’ laziness and willingness to milk the franchise for everything it’s worth.
- doresh
  
  Too bad Capcom already made a game called “Final Fight” years before DOA XD

http://www.facebook.com/christian.m.lee3 Christian Mx Lee

As a fan of the 2nd and 4rth games though, the biggest character trait shamelessly overlooked was an entire backstory with Helena being an opera singer who was out for revenge for the assassination of her opera singer mother by the British hottie Christie (who was supposed to have chalk white hair but I might be asking too much). Oh yeah, the biggest thing I found missing from the movie WAS JANN LEE the Bruce Lee imitator who was perfectly skilled in Jeet Kun Do (who could have been featured more prominantly for an awesome fight scene. Every individual character in the games had a particular storyline that would have made for a movie franchise or tv show with at least 25 or 30 stories worth of sequels or episodes. What made this movie good overall, was the bright and colorful feel of the production designs and costumes, the inclusion of almost all the characters except for 2 new ones from DOA4, well choreographed fight scenes, the obligatory fan service };-), and how they did service to the master cheating mother-fucker A.I. character at the end of the story-modes of the game by having Donovan do that sort of thing.

BULLSHIT. I CALL BULLSHIT.

Not for lack of trying, mind you. You’re a Tekken guy, I get it, you’re not really going to give a crap about the DOA movie’s plot. But for the record? THIS MOVIE BLEW. And I’m not talking quality, hell, it was fine even if you take the painful hand switches and so forth. What I’m talking about is how utterly bad the plot is.

Oh? What is this, you say? It DOESN’T have a plot beyond boobs? To that I say NAY, good sir!

Look, I know as well as anyone the Extreme Beach Volleyball games were as blatent as you can get with fanservice. And I know they hurt the games themselves. But I ALSO know that when you’re talking Dead Or Alive, the only thing fans of the FIGHTING game are going to care about are the FUCKING FIGHTING GAMES. These guys shoulda just made porn, given how much they were into the ass shots.

All I’m saying is, between the characters not appearing anywhere near their game equivalents and the plot basically throwing out the window any semblance of the original, this is hardly a DOA movie at all. It’s just a fighting tournament movie. A high quality fighting movie, but nothing like the damn games.

And that’s not to say you couldn’t find SOME plot in here, insane as it may be. Look, for a digestible version? The latest one, Dimensions on the 3DS, is by FAR the most tame in fanservice, actually has a good fighting system, and basically condenses the plot of all four console and arcade games into one. Is it a mess? Yeah, but Ryu BEATS THREE COPTERS WITH A FUCKING SWORD, while Hayate shoots down a zepplin WITH A FUCKING BOW AND ARROW. If nothing else? This could have been a great spectacle to watch, while still keeping true to the plot of the games. Which it DID have.

Yeah, this is a little nerd-ragey, I’ll admit. But I refuse to let this be called a DOA movie simply because it’s fanservicey. You could change some names in Kill Bill and call THAT a DOA movie if this gets passed. I mean hell, any of the movies reviewed here pass as Fighting Game movies by that logic. They had fighting. Woohoo. Besides, I would’ve payed a LOT more good money just to see Alpha-152 in the movie.

In short? T&A does not equal DOA. End of statement.

http://twitter.com/Mecahawk Tyler Burnette

As much as I love your work, Spoony, you should really play Dead or Alive Dimensions on the 3DS. It’s actually got a really good story mode that lays out exactly what all has gone on for the DOA series. It’s got just about as much plot, if not more than any other game but the last MK game.

Second thing: Oh God the dreams are still happening! I swear half the dreams I’ve been having are of Spoony staring blankly at me like I pissed him off, and Doug standing next to me trying to explain to me that it’s just some mental thing stuck in my head.

Hey, to be fair to Ryu, for getting his ass handed to him in this movie: it was in Master Ninja mode! Even the elite ninja struggles to get past the first level of the games, let alone survive a crappy video game movie!

I really enjoyed this review, Spoony.

I thought you were going to say that this movie was some kind of a cinematic abomination of a video game adaptation (like King Of Fighters) but just like you stated in the end, it’s actually pretty accurate to the games in terms of tone and what they feature. I’d say it’s one of the best movies based on a video game. However, it is obvious that the movie was heavily butchered by the producers since as you pointed out the movie seemingly jumps around at points (the very short running time is also a sign).

Although there was a thing here and there I can pick at from your review, my biggest gripe is that you didn’t give the action scenes as much credit. You did mention how well made Christie’s introductory action scene is but you just passed by the others and didn’t mention how well made they were. Even though I did laugh at the joke you made during Hayabusa’s infiltration, you failed to call attention to just how great that action scene was. Same with Helena’s sword fight with the guards which was also fantastic.

Even though the movie was clearly butchered I’m glad that at least they didn’t butcher Corey Yuen’s (the director and action choreographer of the movie) action scenes with the editing in this movie like they do on most of the movies he’s done the action choreography for in Hollywood where they destroy his work via bad editing (e.g. Transporter 3, The Expendables). He is one of the best action film makers in the world. There is a reason why he is Jet Li’s favorite action film maker to work with.

Again, good job on the review and the cameos were great!

Seriously, why is it so hard to adapt a tournament fighter game? Here’s a clue: Watch Bloodsport with Jean-Claude Van Damme and COPY THAT. Make the hero a rookie who’s entering his/her first tourney with a healthy respect for the traditions and ideals that embody the marshal arts. Make the villain the reigning champion who has forsaken those same values and fights for some other reason like money or crowd adoration or something. Then give the hero a “westerner” sidekick/buddy who’s a happy medium between the hero and villain’s worldview: in it just because he loves a good fight. Mix in the other characters and just watch them all beat the shit out of each other for 90 – 120 minutes straight. THIS IS A NOT HARD MOVIE TO MAKE!

I think you should watch the review first. Spoony says at the end that he thinks this movie is “just about perfect” and that it was an accurate adaptation of the games.

DOA the movie really is one of the best movies based on the video game. And the action scenes are top notch.

Oh really? I can do that too.

“I apologize for saying this, but….damn you stupid eurofucks for oppressing my people and I based on the color our skin and the fact that we refuse to submit to the choke chain of anglocentric culture.

See? That was:

1. A broad, blinkered generalization which paint dips an entire people.

2. Mean-spirited and obviously based more off personal prejudice and a desire to rant rather than facts or a willingness to contribute to an ongoing dialogue.

In other words, it is exactly what you just said.

Just because you say “I’m really sorry”, does not absolve you from following it up with a hateful, misguided rant condemning those who disagree with you.

That you do not agree with a group of people or an individual is not the problem. Lashing out hatefully and ignorantly is.

Omg, this movie uses uses wire-fu? LOL
Automatically this makes the movie ridiculously lame!

And “Shinobi Ninja Princess” sounds almost like a title you’d find in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or at least some kind of goofy Japanese-style TV series.

Apparently it’s easy to defy the laws of physics in this movie. A guy’s full body weight can just stand still on a fucking sword while a woman is easily holding it. :-P

I’m guessing the flying invitation blades (or whatever they’re called) are somehow self-guided as they fly off though. That would be as good as any other explanation as to why the blades don’t ever miss their target.

Also, the villain is killed using acupuncture?…
Omfg, did they seriously just rip-off the ending to the Kiss of the Dragon?!
Wow…

I liked the “fan service act” joke, by the way. And I noticed you made the running ass-count joke a lot more original. That was pretty cool. :-)

“Omg, this movie uses uses wire-fu? LOL

The term “wire-fu” is borderline offensive. It’s just “wire work”.

Unlike what some would naively think, wire work is quite complicated and takes a lot of skill. Stuntmen need to get trained a lot in it to do it properly. There have been many serious injuries from wire stunts in the past. A documentary that Robin Shou did on Hong Kong sutnemn called “Red Trouser” even showed a moment where a stuntman almost lost his life doing a wire stunt.

In any case, wire work was needed for this movie in order to replicate the kind of moves that are seen in the games.

“Also, the villain is killed using acupuncture?…
Omfg, did they seriously just rip-off the ending to the Kiss of the Dragon?!
Wow…”

It’s not as similar as you think it is although I suppose I should point out that Corey Yuen (who was the director and action choreographer of this movie) also worked on Kiss Of The Dragon as the action choreographer.

  I was only referring to the Wikipedia definition of “wire-fu”, meaning a hybrid of wire-work and kung-fu. Although, I suppose in this case, it’s more like wire-jitsu or wire-jujitsu.
  
  I wasn’t implying that wire-work isn’t difficult or dangerous, but that using wire-work in martial-arts movies ruins the mood of those movies, at least to me anyways. I see them less as “serious” martial-arts movies, involving actually competition and war, and more like generic works of performance art involving dances and acrobatic acts.
  
  I can definitely see your point of having wire-work in there though. I haven’t played the equivalent video-game myself, but I did pay attention to what Spoony said at the end of the video. They needed to do what they did so that they do a good job of matching the game. And that aspect of the movie, I can appreciate; however, overall, I still think the movie is ridiculous and lame.
  
  After my posting, I actually researched the exact plot ending for DOA: Dead or Alive (which, on a random note, I find to be a redundant title). I’d say it seems to be original enough to not be considered a rip-off. I just hope it doesn’t get so overdone that it becomes cliche (i.e. villain + pin behind neck = defeat by random effect).

    That entry is a load of crock. There is no such thing as “wire-fu” (It’s Wikipedia so anyone can add anything to the site). That’s why I say it’s borderline offensive because what is called “wire-fu” is just Asians doing “wire-work”. In Asia, no one calls it “wire-fu”. It’s a stupid term coined by some ignorant morons who thought themselves clever.

    Ironically enough the kinds of movies that feature fantastical moves like that were the very first martial arts movies made. Chinese swordplay movies (“Wu Xia”) which are period or fantasy pieces (think movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) that usually feature these kinds of action came way before what people call “kung fu movies”. Many people in the West don’t understand that those kinds of movies are important to not only martial arts cinema but also to Chinese culture as some of those stories date back centuries.
    
    “And that aspect of the movie, I can appreciate; however, overall, I still think the movie is ridiculous and lame.”
    
    I think you should give it a chance. It has an overall light and fun tone to it that was on purpose and I think it was one of the reasons why it worked.

      I know I’ve enjoyed various Jackie Chan movies (and I’ve admired that he’s done his own stunts). But when it comes to martial arts movies with wire-work, I only remember enjoying one of them. It so happened to have both Jackie Chan and Jet Li in it, and I remember that it involved kung-fu. I liked how the movie didn’t depend too much on wire-work, and how the moves actually looked like something you might find in a real fight between martial-arts experts (fast, powerful, fluid/rhythmic, etc.).
      
      I think we just have different interests and opinions on what makes a good and interesting movie. Probably the only reason why I might watch this movie (assuming I can even afford it, since I’ve basically reached financial rock-bottom as of now) is to review it for my website.
      
      Unlike Spoony, who basically implies that it’s a “perfect” movie as far as video-game-based movies go, I may actually give a bad review of this movie after watching it. I’m picturing my character acting like he’s watching a badly-made soft-core porn while my computer comes in to analyze and complain about the bad physics, continuity and w/e. Hell, I’d probably risk doing similar to what Spoony did, except in a more simplistic, random and goofy style compared to what Spoony usually does.

      I see wire-work as simply another form of cinematic action. It serves own function and involve a specific kind of skill set to execute right. When I see it I understand the difficulties of it and appreciate it when it’s done well.
      
      What I can’t stand are CGI stuntmen. George Lucas did that a lot in the Star Wars prequels. He had a CGI “double” for Anikan run across a table during his light saber duel with Obi Wan. Why? Was Lucas that lazy that he couldn’t even bother to hire an actual stuntman to run across a table if Hayden Christensen couldn’t do it?

As far as this movie goes, I am surprised that, editing aside, they really did seem to put a lot of effort and money into this. I mean, Tekken seemed surprisingly flush with money, but DOA? It really did seem from this review that the filmakers really did what they could with what they had; I admire their professionalism.

The part with Film Brain was absolutely hilarious (as was your Tekken crossover, in my opinion – not all of us are insane in a bad way).

Okay, I love your vids Spoony but seriously…seriously? You gave props to Tekken for being a technical fighter and then looked at DOA and said, ‘Tits’. That seems to have been the extent of your research, or at least, it sure felt that way.

Dead Or Alive has the SAME goddamn things Tekken has in it’s series except for one thing. DOA has more emphasis on boobs. Silly Story (Yes, it has one), Incredibly Baffling Endings, Lazy Tournament Setting…the only things it doesn’t have in common is pretty much the way the fighting is handled (DOA doesn’t move at snails pace and isn’t about playing ‘Don’t let the balloon touch the ground!’ and DOA doesn’t have a Panda and a Kangaroo in it, clearly a fault mind you).

And just because it has that emphasis on boobs, you pretty much pretend like it’s not worth your time, the effort of the devs put into the game in making an awesome fighting game isn’t worth a crap if “Oh well, tits. Fuck this, I’m too good for tits.”.

DOAXtreme was pretty much a joke that played on the fact that yeah, the series first got notoriety for it’s tits. This is STILL the dev that made Ninja Gaiden, you know, a game series that is godly in its awesome battle system?

And you know what happened when Namco decided to make a serious game of
the Tekken series? Yeah, Death By Degrees (The Nina Williams game).

Also, much like every other video game movie. This one got pretty much everything wrong, but then, that’s about what everyone expected when they heard the movie got the fucking green light.

It’s fanservice, but for the love of god man, give the goddamn games some credit. You make it sound as if just touching the damn game means you cheated on your wife.

  “DOA doesn’t move at a snails pace and isn’t about playing “Don’t Let The Balloon Touch The Ground”"
  
  I would NEVER try to make an argument on technical worth for DOA with
  its horrible counter system, random factor stages, and its
  almost-literal rock-paper-scissors zoning game.
  
  I’d rather have a thousand Lilis, Laws, and Bobs wall combo me over
  another Izuna Drop eliminating a health advantage or Ayane mirror match
  anyday.
  
  As for Ninja Gaiden, its a classic, but in the end, there’s a LOT of
  artificial difficulty in the classic series. I’ve had very little
  success without abusing the jump slash in the modern trilogy as well.
  
  That and its in the end, just a alright Virtua Fighter clone that everyone plays instead because
  
  1.VF doesn’t have giant boobies or super flashy moves.
  
  2.VF is easy to learn but INCREDIBLY HARD to master or even win your first matches in, but people eventually forgot about the former.
  
  3.Sega can’t advertise its lesser franchises in America for beans. Yakuza for one.

Since when is Ninja Gaiden’s Ryu a master of stealth and assassination in…ANYTHING he’s in?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtC6V2LBIKw

All the modern and old school game series’ main attraction is that he’s walking along and ninjas, demons and exploding dogs pop out to surprise HIM. After he’s surprised he retaliates by slicing and dicing them into little bloody pieces. Cause, ya know, a master of stealth and assassination means you are CONSTANTLY BEING SPOTTED AND HAVE TO RESORT TO DIRECT ASSAULT TO KILL YOUR TARGET(S). I am NINJA!

About the DoA series: The entire series of games is at least faithful to their one defining aspect, which is having the girls shake their asses and jiggle their tits for the audience.

I enjoyed this movie! I played the 1st couple of games years ago. The only bit of story I recall was Kasumi being cloned and that for reason the boss was some wierd Japanese god guy that clucked like a chicken and when he stamped his feet the seasons changed around you.
Also the chick that played Tenna(that chick from My Name is Earl) I find hot for some reason!
I hope they make a direct to DVD sequal someday as it was good enough and as you put it closer to it’s sorce than any other Fighting Game movie ever produced!

The villain’s big master plan was the last straw for me with this movie. My Bullshit Meter hadn’t gone off this loudly since Deadliest Warrior. Not only did he NOT need the money, but the plan itself wouldn’t work. Just because he can anticipate an opponent’s moves, doesn’t mean he can keep up. Unless he’s been working out and avoided carbs like casting companies avoid Lindsay Lohan for years, he wouldn’t have the endurance, speed, coordination or strength to put up any kind of a fight. And if he HAD been keeping in shape all this time, that’s practically training for God’s sake. Just take a couple classes at the Y, man.

Now, now, Spoonster, DOA does have some plots and backstories, which do show up in this movie. I’m sure some people will fill you in on specifics, though. But essentially, Christie’s a whole new character if she smiles. Even on the Volleyball games she’s all scorn and ellipses.

While there are some things about this movie that I dislike(the stock noises they used during fights, most of the made-for-the movie characters) the fighting’s not bad, the tone is accurate and they don’t mangle the story of the games too bad. Heck, they worked in most main characters. KoF didn’t even TRY.

I really thought you were gonna aim the hate ray and smash the film to pieces and I am pleasantly surprised with what you gave us. I thought the movie was fun and liked looking at Devon Aoki and Jaime Pressly (and Helena’s ass). It is definitely no cinema masterpiece and was made for brainless entertainment, but for everything ridiculous and over exaggerated, it is something fun to watch with a few pals. I am glad you could see the fun in it as well.

And seriously, is this really all poor Robin Shou is doing these days? He was in booth Mortal Kombat flicks, the stupid Street Fighter Chung-li flop, and this. That’s gotta be some kind of record.

Great review Spoony! And poor Film Brain. I still love you FB! XD

And guys, calm down. It’s just DOA. What are all of you freaking out about? Yes, it’s a technical fighter, but ca you honestly say that T&A isn’t a huge chunk of this series? I do believe I remember and interview with the people who make the game, and a good chunk of it was about the boob physics and the bikinis. I wish I was kidding, but no.

I’m not making fun of the series, believe me, but it’s still more well known for boobs and pole dances then fighting. :)

Again, great video Spoony and I can’t wait for the 3rd part in the FF X-2 series!

This was a very funny review, and I thought that everything ‘clicked’ very nicely. The cameos and the jokes were great, and even though this is an easy film to make fun of, the riffing and the conclusion came across as very natural. I do think it’s the best of the fighting game reviews you’ve done so far.

I was surprised at the Film Brain part, as I hadn’t read any of the comments for the Tekken video… It’s good that people say what they feel and offer criticism, but I found the level of anger and even hate in some of those posts very disturbing. Accusations of corruption, prostitution, Stockholm Syndrome…It was nuts. I really hope that those cases were just typical Internet belligerence, since the idea that some people could get so legitimately worked up over free entertainment…worrisome. Better keep the boiling oil handy, just in case.

Anyway, I guess I really can’t think of any more movies for you to review-fatalfuryanime. :D

Interestingly, the PRIMARY complaint that people had about Film Brain was his stretched out sentences, which he AVOIDED DOING in his cameo here. So, not only are you guys acknowledging the fan base, but you also seem to be taking the criticisms seriously. I applaud Film Brain for making an effort to be a more enjoyable reviewer. If he continues to improve himself (and gets a better mic) then another crossover might no over so poorly.

I’d agree with you Spoony, this is as close to source material as anyone is going to get which could make it the greatest video game movie ever.

For what it’s worth, I like Film Brain. Don’t be afraid of using him.

Nice review Spoony,
This movie was just weird, but at least they got the fanservice right.
The only unforgivable thing is casting some random wimp as the badass Ninja Ryu Hayabusa…
(Not ashamed to admit, I own almost all the DOA and Ninja Gaiden Games)

The Filmbrain part was awesome, even you admit having an extreme untolerable fanbase.

“The only unforgivable thing is casting some random wimp as the badass Ninja Ryu Hayabusa…
(Not ashamed to admit, I own almost all the DOA and Ninja Gaiden Games)”

The ignorance of that statement is astounding.

That “random wimp” is Kane Kosugi. Son of Sho Kosugi who was famous for doing those cult favorite Ninja movies in the 80s (e.g. Enter The Ninja and Revenge Of The Ninja). Sho Kosugi was the old Ninja master in that movie Ninja Assassin.

If you actually watched DOA and watched Kane Kosugi’s infiltration scene his athleticism is unquestioned. At one point he jumps into split, sliding into the center of the bad guys, does a leg sweep and then goes into flares. That’s not something that a “wimp” is capable of.
- Anonymous
  
  Kane Kosugi who????
  well to be fair, the real stars of the movie are the girls;
  I wasn’t expecting Hayabusa to be a main character anyway.
  
  And as atlethic as that guy might be, all the people I know who have
  watched the movie always point out….. That’s supposed to be Hayabusa??
  
  Maybe it’s the costume, I guess…. (He just doesn’t look the part)
  - Anonymous
    
    He doesn’t look the part of a ninja??
    
    Thanks to his dad’s reputation of Ninja movie’s in the 80s, almost half the roles Kane Kosgui has played have been ninja related (in Japan). And thanks to his dad training him Kane Kosugi is an outstanding martial artist.
    
    Him playing Ryu Hayabusa is actually spot on casting.
    
    In fact if the world were perfect Kane Kosugi would be playing Ryu from Street Fighter in a live action movie. Interestingly enough he voiced Ryu in the Japanese version of the Street Fighter Alpha anime.

People dislike Film Brain? I mean, there are crossovers I can’t stand (and even Spoony reviews I don’t enjoy), but he seems like an inoffensive bloke.

Anyway, I actually really like the gameplay in the DOA fighting games, so this movie is still a letdown for not having better actio. But at least it’s not a lie-filled sin against gods and men like the King of Fighters movie. Good review.

Anonymous

Not sure what you mean that ” this movie is still a letdown for not having better actio.”

The movie’s action was the best thing about it. It was top notch and better than any other video game movie made thus far. It was directed and choreographed by Corey Yuen who is one of the best action film makers in the world and Jet Li’s favorite action film maker to work with.

  I suppose I’m referring more to the cinematography, setups and abysmal/upsetting use of CG – aside from a few fun shots there are a lot of goofy scenes of stuff like Kasumi running floatily on people’s backs and Leifang plummeting to her death. If it was the games, we’d know that kind of fall barely dents the life meter – but this flick caroms between trying to have its fights be over-the-top and firmly dramatic.
  
  Eric Roberts is the man, though, I forgot to say that – super nice on set, too.
  - Anonymous
    
    The cinematography was solid. I’m not sure what you mean here.
    
    The CG wasn’t great but blame that on the budget.
    
    I don’t see Kasumi running on people’s backs as goofy because I see lots of Chinese fantasy films where that sort of thing happens a lot so it isn’t strange to me.
    
    The movie never says that Lei Feng dies. Simply that Lei Feng was “KO’d”. Spoony misinterpreted that as a death in his review.
    
    The film’s tone is for the most part light, not many scenes were being “firmly dramatic”.
    
    And over the top fights doesn’t equal silliness. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon had over the top fights throughout and yet people didn’t complain about them having a hard time accepting the film being dramatic.

Heh, I figured that would be the conclusion. I mean, a fighting game series that’s dominant in repetitive and braindead fanservice, for some reason, a movie is capable of doing exactly that…and more. Two negatives DO make a positive? We’ll have to wait for Uwe Boll to make a movie out of MindJack to find out!

Also, I like Film Brain, like the crossovers, and LOVE the LittleKuriboh crossover.

Yeah. I don’t even know where to begin with this movie. It sure did nail it’s source material dead on. And for once, that was a bad thing. Great review Spoony my man.

Also, while I know where the whole “ninjas are black clad super assassins” schtick comes from (both myth and the stage hands at the old Kabuki theaters), but any guy like Ryu Hayabusa is no more a ninja than that fuckrat Naruto. Actual ninja (from the Sengoku period) were feudal assassins, true, but they were also experts on guerrilla warfare and were essentially mercenaries. They used disguise, bribes, sabotage and, at many times, the aforementioned guerrilla styled warfare to get close to a target and take it out, and they were used more often than not as infiltration experts for the purpose of thievery. They didn’t have magical powers and didn’t wear all black. Only in the movies and on TV do they do that. Still, even the fake ones are awesome, so I can’t be too hard on them.

  I really did; it was like a gut reaction, it happened so fast. Film Brain is the single least entertaining person on the TGWTG crew. I’ve honestly tried to watch some of his material and I just can’t get into it.
  
  I did decide to re-watch the review while skipping the Film Brain section. And then we got a completely pointless and un-funny LittleKuriboh cameo, and at that point I knew there was no hope for this review.
  
  I get that you want to shake up the status quo every once in a while, but for fuck’s sake make sure that what you’re doing is cohesive and entertaining. The Linkara team-ups were much better than what we’ve been seeing lately, and I HATE Linkara almost as much as Film Brain.

It truly is amazing how childish some people are. It’s not up to you to decide who Spoony does or does not do crossovers with. If you don’t like that person, fine, just don’t watch the video. But don’t expect Spoony to bend over backwards just to tend to your specific tastes. I personally like Film Brain’s reviews and was pleased with the Tekken crossover.

They might have gotten the DOA movie right, but when I saw it, I was all kinds of clueless because I never played any of those DOA games. I couldn’t get my head around why Australian soap actress/pop sensation Holly Valance and “Joy Turner” were in a lame “martial arts tournament movie” with gratuitous boob and rump-shot.

This movie also contains a “between the ass cheeks shot”. The latter is variation of the classic “between the legs shot”, however it is rarely used outside the pornographic movie genre.

Also…could it be that Devon Aoki’s pan-Asian facial features are so famous that emotional expression comes at an extra cost? Either the movie couldn’t afford to pay for these, or is there a contractual obligation based on the ill-belief that the ethnic stereotype of the “Asian mystique” can only be conveyed when the actress remains gormless.

I’m a huge fan of spoony, and seen all of his videos like 2-3 times, but I don’t get why people dis like film brain, his work is good and his cameos are well handle and not as if they so pervasive that you cant tune him out if you don’t like his stuff.

Lukas Hägg

I like his stuff too, but I can see why people dislike him (though I’d say the “dislike” is more of a kneejerk reaction). He speaks in a specific way and enunciates the last word on most sentences in a very drawn out fashion. It’s kind of like and acquired taste (Example: I really like JRJR’s comic work, but some people don’t like the way he draws. That kind of thing).

Wwww9999

thank you for this awesome review spoony, it had just the right amount of cameos and thank you for listening to your fan base, I would have killed myself if I had to listen to “him” more than that. It was a tasteful mix this time around :).

even though I don’t own an Xbox , and never played any of the DoA games , I enjoy watching some YouTube footage from the their Extreme series , just for…ummm…witnessing the accuracy and details for the whole jiggle physics , and how do they work in action , yeah. >_>

can’t wait for more. ^^

The DOA film is pretty awesome, and I think this review shows it. It´s incredibly silly, and therefore so much more entertaining than other fighting game films. (I´m looking at YOU Street Fighter the Movie!)

One of the best examples of unintentional humor here is the invitation-knife-shurikens. Donovan´s organization must have the most skillful tallent agents ever. Not only are they supernaturally accurate when throwing these thingies, but they are also able to monitor these events happening on the ocean and in hotel rooms guarded by agents whithout being seen? Donovan should put better use to those guys because man, they´re good! And he should come up with a better plan than ridicolous sunglasses too.

Props for the clever Filmbrain segment. Spoony has some rabid fans, this was a good way to take advantage of it.

And that mermaid-scene took me completely off guard. Unstoppable laughter attack.

AdamusWarner

So how many of you people that are sat there judging the DOA series have ACTUALLY PLAYED ANY OF THE GAMES. Yes DOA extreme was blatant fan service and crap but you know what, your all just jealous your little game series didn’t think of it first and dont even think of lying and saying your not. DOA deserves no more shit for the volleyball games then Final Fantasy does for 10-2.

AdamusWarner

It occurs to me i didnt present my argument very well there, allow me to correct that. There were 3!!!!! DOA games BEFORE Xtreme Volleyball was made. So does it seem far to judge the previous games for that one? no. Besides the DOA series has the single greatest argument to ever play any game in it. Ryu Hayabusa, one of the most awesome game characters EVER.
- Lukas Hägg
  
  If I want to play Ryu Hayabusa I’ll just play any of the Ninja Gaiden games.
  
  You seem to sway between excusing Xtreme Volleyball with the rest of the series and berating fans of other games for “not thinking of it first” (as if DOA was the first game to utilize heavy fanservice). Make up your mind dude.
  
  I personally don’t mind the fanservice-centriq mindset of the games (talking about the main series, never played the volleyball games). Never got into them though, the fanservice is nice, but if the mechanics don’t back it up then I won’t stay around (not necessarily saying their systems are bad, just that they don’t appeal to me).

Brad Eppes

I wouldn’t mind at all if you did more Bad Movie Beatdown crossovers. I’ll watch them. I don’t know about the rest of your fans but I’ll watch them.

And I know this is going to get me some hate but if theres anybody I don’t enjoy you crossing over with, its Benzaie. But I’ll just skip those videos rather than flaming you or Benzaie about it.

Guys, let Spoony do what he wants. He’s gonna do what he wants anyway and the less we complain, the less angry he’ll be about it.

I love DOA the game, not so much for the overly sized boobs but I love the unique fighting system it has. The counters in DOA are just fuckin sick. The game is really a lot of fun but because of stupid beach volleyball titles and other crap DOA will never be taken that seriously. People will always have a closed mind about it even if they never played DOA. That’s how things are these days, everyone is overly sensitive about everything.

This review was hilarious. I love the part where Film Brain comes in and totally rips on the silly fanboys on here. Kevin Nash is such a troll, he’s just randomly in this movie and doesn’t even try to be in character at all lol.

DOA is just one of those brain dead movies where you just sit back and have a good time just laughing at how silly it is. That’s what DOA the game is all about, just having fun and even enjoying the silly things such as the silly jiggle physics.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_MBOAQFSGBDBNFIRBRNMQ6CWRFY Kevin

DOA Actually does have a story Spoony. It was explained more in dimensions actually gives you more insight on the backstory. The story mostly revolves around kasumi ayane, hayate and hayabusa. In the first game Kasumi and the mugen tenshin enter the fighting tournament to have a chance to defeat raidou who had nearly killed hayate. In the second game they’re fighting to stop a powerful tengu that was summoned to earth. In the third game it’s Ayane’s adopted father Genra and in the fourth game they’re trying to destroy doatec.

Film Brain’s way he uses his voice and his motions and tones can get rather repetitive and annoying. For example, they way he elongates almost every word’s last syllable, which was ESPECIALLY bad in the crossover. Also, watching several of his videos in a row gets boring because he has the same reaction to each thing, evidenced by how he has just one expression to represent “Seriously dude? Really? Just fucking stupid.” where he puts his head down and looks up, looking pissed.

Ha! I seriously didn’t think Spoony would actually make a joke/sketch about all the Film Brain hate. Ironically, what made people hate Film Brain in the first place (the stretching of his last words in his sentenseeeessssssss), he does nearly NONE of in this cameo. Niiiiice.

A couple notes from my personal review of DOA:

- It has a huge feel of being an ‘Enter the Dragon’ re-hash in many ways. You center the entire plot in one single place, an island, ran by a very rich person who likes to do fighting tournaments? Why, no one knows. At least in ETD the villian’s funding is explained…yeah it’s kind of a weak explaination but if works (no, I’m not spoiling it. Watch ETD, damnit!)

- Where’s Jann Lee? Okay, he’s probably a supporting character in the grand scheme of things, but still! He deserves more than just one fight scene with…

- Helena! Holy shit she’s smoking hot! Incredibly beautiful! Her on skates remind me of Heather Graham in ‘Boogie Nights’. [/sexual fantasies]

- Speaking of Helena, she was one of the only girls with a unique fighting style. Really, everyone with the exception of Bass, Zak, and Helena fight the same, with their generic Kung Fu. Even Tina, the pro wrester, gives off a ‘Kung Fu’ vibe just like all the others.

- I know I’m going back to ETD a lot, but just one last note. Just like in ETD, the island is a high tech facility with incredible technology, but not a single gaurd here owns a gun? Even Bruce has to menton that in ETD. “Guns! Now why doesn’t somebody just pull out a .45 and BANG, settle it?”

  if you’re talking about ETD, well hey, what’s not to like?
  
  If you’re talking about DOA, well Spoony hit the nail on the head. It doesn’t stray that far from the source material, and if you go into it with a fun, popcorn kung fu flick mindset, there’s stuff to enjoy about it. In fact, there are moments that are shot BEAUTIFULY well, like the Christie/Helena fight.

Awesome, no film Brain, I really think he needs to develop his own camera personality instead of always being angry and sarcastic, its so overdone these days and freaking annoying, he plays a retard in the anniversary videos and it contrasts completely with everything else, in general on camera he seems weak and one tracked minded.

From watching the two reviews that FilmBrain was in, I believe that the biggest problem that most of the audience is having with him is his very dead pan dry sense of humor. I personally found it funny in bits but it did have its draw backs. That while it might work when an actor is doing it alone. If your doing a duo act each person needs to play off each other and either need to both be dry or not at all. In watching the Tekken (live action) movie, Spoony is alive, up in your face, full of action with witty remarks. Then comes FilmBrain who has no inflection in his voice, no energy, and brings the comedy to a stand still. It brings the tempo of the whole review to a haut as the comic duo is becoming more of a one way street.

Even the second review with FilmBrain who is being attacked by the fans (DOA), he is presents no energy in the skit. That is feels more of a throw away then an actual bit of the review. That I found it odd when watching KickAssia and Suburban Knights, he is alive and bouncing up and down. He has few good jokes, then come these reviews there is no energy, where did that spark go?

I am curious if either Spoony wrote his dialogue or if he did it himself. That the biggest thing I can say is that the timing and the playing off each other needs to be improved.

Amazing as always, Spoony! And great work getting a cameo by LittleKuriboh, you made a good decision there ;-)

Why don’t people like Film Brain? I find his reviews funny and insightful. Out of all the reviewers on TGWTG, I think he catches the most mistakes and plot holes in movies.

Darke Mayer Goulart

Probably because, you know, he is British. And if I learned something watching Yu-gi-oh Abridged, is that nobody likes the British.

I don’t get why anyone would not like Film Brain cameos with Spoony. Both are great, funny guys. That being said, I hear the music during the Battle of Britain from the beginning of the first Narnia movie in his background. XD I’d love more FB cameos. He’s fun!

Now for this… “movie”. Okay, I get that the game is little more than spank material for guys, but honestly that game has nothing of value. I play a MMORPG with the same boob physics and the boob physics in That game are so funny I mock it whenever I play. Gravity effects breasts and how they move and look, men. Get used to it. Unless you really prefer crinkly, fake breasts, that’s pretty much the lot you’ve got with real life. Your breasts should not continue to bounce whenever you breathe in deeply. And the graphics, good lord. I spent the entire time watching this review and seeing the game graphics with this look of horror frozen on my face. The “bikinis” are little more than string. Just make them naked. You’ll have the same effect with less to render. And the eyes and mouths… Faces don’t work this way. I know it’s anime based, and I love anime based things, but with most anime based things there’s usually some level of realism in how the faces and bodies move. That was really the most horrifying thing about the review: the game segments you tossed in.

Outside of that, the movie is stupid, but what do you expect when your source material might as well be “lesbian” porn for really, really easily entertained men.

Spoony, Film Brain makes your review less funny. We come here for you, and you should be happy that you have fans at all, considering how you like to badmouth them.

Also, considering this is a site run by a man who spends half his time complaining about things in movies and games he doesn’t like, should he be surprised that he gets fan who complain about things they don’t like in his reviews.

Whiner.

I would have to politely disagree with you on that. While Film Brain is not a reviewer I watch normally, he does nothing to prevent Spoony’s comedy. Also, I think it is more of Spoony’s character to be cynical and badmouth everyone, friend or foe. It would be less funny to me if he didn’t badmouth us. Its all in good fun.

Yeah, Film Brain is sooo British. Nobody likes those limeys. In fact, nobody likes Spoony’s friends, or his family, or his pets.

HEAR ME ROAR SPOONY OR I WILL FIND YOU NOT AS FUNNY AS YOU WAS YESTERDAY! SPOONY, PLEASE ISOLATE YOURSELF FROM THESE JERKS AND MARRY ME – I mean, MAKE MORE FUNNY VIDEOS OF YOU ALONE!

People rail on Film Brain’s accent, not because were xenophobic (we like Dude in The Suede) or mean-spirited (most of the time). Film Brains particular accent is bad because it interferes with his joke delivery. He stretches out his words in all the wrong places, and it hurts to listen to.

Film Brain needs to watch his accent in his reviews, maybe even take a speaking class or two. Once he can overcome his accent and speak well and clear, people will respect him for the intelligent guy he is.

He’s not one of the youngest on TGWTG for nothing. Doug saw something in the little tyke when letting him on the site. I still watch his reviews anyway just to hear his opinions, because I respect them. He pays a lot of attention to the structure of fight scenes, which is hard to do because of how fast everything moves. He also gives credit where it’s due, pointing out occasional good actor or good scene in an otherwise shitty movie.

I just wish I didn’t have to hear him speak to get to his opinion. In fact, I would rather read a ‘silent’ review where he communicates with big cards, like when Doug gets laryngitis. That would be awesome, sidestepping everything that is wrong with his reviews.

Film Brain’s intonation hurts my head sometimes. As does Nostalgia Critic’s shrieking. Or Spoony’s squeeling. Also people. GRUNT!

As for DOA, Spoony got it right with it being a good _fighting movie_. Tekken just went bananas with post apocalyptic super corporations ruling everybody with airon fisto. This was a good no brainer with lotsa fighting and had some pretty hawt fighters on it, albeit a little lacking in the jiggle physics department.

I think only a director like Uwe Boll could miss-cast Eric Roberts as a good guy.

P.S: SPOONY I DARE YOU TO WATCH MORTAL KOMBAT: FINAL CONQUEST AND COLLAPSE MENTALLY.

Anonymous

To be fair DOA is a great fighter and probably my favorite altogether. It’s a good mix of skill, timing, and being able to fake it (in that if you know some of a characters moveset you can figure out more on the fly). It also has some great AI minus the Kasumi Plasma clone who just CHEATED.

The main plot focused on Kasumi a renegade Kunoichi, pursuing her missing brother hayate, and being persued by another kunoichi Ayane out for her blood. But it was shallow and somehow the DOATech Company was using brainwashed ninjas to kill opera singers and take over the world I dunno. Shallow and nonsensical come to mind. But the game play sold it.

The Volleyball game well… Since Kings of the beach on NES how many beach volleyball games have thier been? Not many.

The movie though was terribly written, acted, and miscast with people that barely resembled the characters they were to portray. Hmmm a common theme is sensed in these movies.

you hit the nail on the head there Spoony; the movie is stupid, but it was so right, and amazingly so. It had the entire cast in there, they all had their respective characterization and fighting styles, and for the most part they all had their chance to shine. Although personally, I would’ve killed to have seen Hayabusa do the Izuna Drop.

Take a hint Spoony, nobody likes Film Brain.

At this point he takes away the focus in your reviews, as well as sullies them with his unfunny presence. Look at all these comments, no one cares about the hard work you put into this video, they just talk about how shit Film Brain is, including me.

You guys might be friends but just think if he’s actually benefiting you in your craft or just another annoying TGWTG cameo that serves no purpose but to make these videos suck for several minutes at a time.

I am happy, actually. TGWTG has too many irritating reviewers with annoying accents anyway, and FB has added precisely nothing to Spoony’s videos, nor really any video he’s ever been in. On the bright side, the Little Kuriboh cameo as Bandit Keith was fun. Here’s hoping it takes Spoony less than a month to put up a new video.

I liked both seeing Film Brain and hearing Little Kuriboh in this one. :) Although I have to admit I sometimes can’t understand all Film Brain is saying, it’s just that English is a foreing language to me, so non-standard English isn’t always easy to catch. (I also have hard time understanding Benzaie every now and then). It’s not the speaker’s (Film Brain in this case) fault.

And of course the video was just pure fun to watch all in all, so I’m happy. You both write good scripts and perform them superbly. Thanks for the treat.

Why the hate on film brain? i just don’t get it. I very much enjoy BMB, he has a different enough style of humor to make him stand out to me. Suburban Knights also really set him apart as one of the funniest of the pack considering his constant mugging as well as the way he acts around the Nostalgia Critic.

This movie is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. The editing staff alone deserve a life sentence for this atrocity.

Though I have to say, Spoony, you could have done a lot better in ripping apart the flaws of this movie. This review mostly just mocks the “plot”. For example in the Ryu fight scene, you only talk about how he’s a ninja but doesn’t act like one. Couldn’t you have pointed out the awkward choreography and abyssmal editing? Hell, the clip you show even contains what I think is the worst segment of editing ever (18:48), it cuts between 3 takes of the exact same sequence in less than a second.

http://www.facebook.com/JALSpooner Jennifer Ann Louise Spooner

Ahhhhhhhhh, DOA, my guilty pleasure. It’s so dumb, and so utterly shameless in it’s fanservice… in short it’s wonderful! Although – and I may be wrong- I’m pretty sure Ninja Princess Kazumi and Tina did share a small bit of dialogue when they girls where high tailing it up the giant pagoda of death to get to the compound. Or maybe I’m remembering it wrong, I need to watch this again.

Poor Film Brain though, I’m still unsure as to what he’s done wrong? Serioulsy, if there is any criticism to be had, it’s that this Review in particular may have been better if FB had had some input. From the short speech he had at the beginning, it actually sounded like knew a lot about this film and it’s production, which is something I find interesting and gives his Reviews the edge. Not that this was in any way a bad Spoony Review, it’s just perhaps it did tend to go off on little wanders occasionally… but then there was that scene with Christie… and Tina… oh hell, I understand!

Still, awesome as always. Thank you so veyr much for continuing to make me laugh my arse off, and make my housemates wander if I have finally lost it.

Spoony I was not one of your fans that commented on it last time, at least I don’t recall that clearly because I almost never comment on your videos, but I really do not like seeing Film Brain.

Since you are confused, let me explain why he is unappealing: he cannot act. He emphasizes his words in a way that’s really irritating and obnoxious (do not give me any “character” bullshit if that’s the case). He reeks of smugness and he really instills the desire to punch through my monitor.

Spoony you put a lot of work into your reviews, I can tell, and trust me I really want to watch them. But I cannot stand this guy. I cannot enjoy this review because I keep thinking “who the fuck was that asshole, and why was he in this review?” I can understand that Channel Awesome nobodies need to be plugged into yours and Nostalgia Critic’s works because nobody wants to sift threw dozens of random names, but if you’re going to give them the courtesy of plugging their mug they should really step up their game. Provided they have anything to begin with.

“He emphasizes his words in a way that’s really irritating and obnoxious
(do not give me any “character” bullshit if that’s the case).”

That is the English accent. Every British-type reviewer I have ever seen seems to do that (and I do mean all of them, in one regard or another, from Film Brain and Guru Larry to Yahtzee and Ashens). Even that snobby, pretentiousness is just the British aspect of their personality – the accent always sounds that way. Probably some subconscious association with royalty. It comes down to personal taste. I actually like these aforementioned reviewers and I don’t feel the pretension that others claim – no more so than Brad Jones or Noah Antwiler show at any rate.

As for the acting: none of them can act. I like their stuff but if you put everyone at TGWTG including Spoony on am American Idol-esque game show where they had to show off their acting talents for Hollywood director judges and get voted on who was the best they would all be completely destroyed save, probably, for Brad Jones who seems like a guy I could actually see in a major movie role.

Not an insult, mind you. Acting is hard, coming down to not just classes but talent, and most of these guys come off as amateurs. Even Antwiler. That is part of their charm.

  “Probably some subconscious association with royalty” Speaking as a British person with parents from East London whose parents were from Island I don’t get how the British can have a “subconscious association” with an inbred group of reality detached, unfairly entitled, stuck up aristocrats descended from Germans?
  
  You are aware that England has quite a few different accents. Saying Guru Larry has the same way of speaking as Film Brain and Ashens is pretty ridiculous. Put a scouser, a Geordie, a Cockney a south Londoner and someone from the west country in a room and tell me they have all speak the same.
  - Anonymous
    
    What I meant is that I suspect non-British people have a subconscious tenancy to associate an English accent with being snooty and condescending. Hollywood movies tend to portray British as either tea swilling, self righteous red coats with powder wigs or well dressed butlers and foppish love interests in romantic stories. The tone and all that tends to come off as very snooty to me, anyways, though I know it isn’t meant to be.
    
    As far as the difference in accents, you said yourself that you are a British person. I am not and I can’t tell the difference between any of the accents. As an American who gets very little exposure to your culture outside of these videos and a few LPers I follow, you guys all sound largely the same to me.
    
    Not an insult and it isn’t something that makes me stupid as I imagine you couldn’t tell the difference between an Alabama southern accent, a Louisiana southern accent, and a Texas southern accent and I can because I grew up near the southern United States. You have an ear for the differences but to me I know two types of English accents: the kind Space Marines speak and the kind Orks speak.
    - ianwright77
      
      Englis West Country accent here. An accent older than Queen’s “received pronunciation” English itself, with similarities to southern United States. Now tell me that “Even that snobby, pretentiousness is just the British aspect of their personality”.

Like almost everything else in this world, taste is subjective. Sometimes I think I’m the only person on the Internet who feels guys like Littlekuriboh (and Spoony) have their ups and downs, their pluses and minuses, and hits and misses. I don’t sweepingly discount them as either funny or unfunny (although the Nostalgia Critic has more misses than hits with me lately, when he’s good I enjoy him immensely). When they’re funny, they’re funny. When they’re not, they’re not. But they’re never always one or the other. Some stuff they do is funny, some isn’t, so sweepingly declaring them to be “funny” or “unfunny” as a whole is a bit strange.

A thought occurs to me. Why the hell did the computer give a warning ‘CIA ALERTED’? Why would you ever need a computer to list that as a warning? Who would write a program specifically designed to let you know the CIA was alerted? If you have a computer that can figure out if the CIA is after you I don’t think you need to be worried about bullshit sunglasses.

Seeing all of these movies, it seems that directors actually have a huge problem creating a story from the source material (game), mostly because the games really don’t concentrate on the story. They are fighters after all. However my question is, what would happen if there was a movie created from a fighter with a great long running storyline – Blazblue is what come to mind. Might be interesting…

Interesting note, Ryu Hayabusa is played by Kane Kosugi, son of Sho Kosugi who was “the guy” who created the Ninja craze in 80′s Hollywood action films with films such as Revenge Of The Ninja, Ninja III: The Domination, Pray For Death and was also the Japanese swordsman who Rutger Hauer fought in Blind Fury .

Yeah, the Robin Leach thing is really annoying. Also, from what videos I’ve seen of FB, they’re either really good, or fall flat on their face. He is getting better, but going up with/against Spoony only highlighted how far he has to go.

Film Brain? [SLOW CLAPS GRAdUALLY INCREASING TO GREAT APPLAUSE]

DoA is a much better film than the others Spoony has recently reviewed (even though the script is trash) because it’s equal to the silliness of the games. I think they could’ve WORKED on it a bit more, but I don’t think I can ask for much when directors don’t care much about the source material of a video game. I don’t know who the director or writer was, but it’s an easy bet that they didn’t know a lot about the games beforehand.

I realize I’m exceptionally late to the party, but what the hell is with all the Film Brain hate?

I freely admit that his delivery isn’t anywhere near as natural as Spoony’s, but as a guy who’s completely willing to put himself out there and provide us with free entertainment, I’m willing to cut him one hell of a lot of slack. I mean, shit, he does a much better job than I ever could.

And, to be honest, he’s one of only four people associated with “That Guy With The Glasses” who I follow regularly – Spoony, the Nostalgia Critic and The Cinema Snob being the others.

Okay, last note I noticed. Either Ryu was BADLY miscasted, or poorly directed. We’re talking about one of the most badass ninjas in all of video games. He could probably hold his own againt both Grey Fox AND Raiden at the same time, and THIS was the guy they casted? Whimpy ass voice, can’t even fight that well, and the reaction he got seeing Katsumi in a bikini reminded me of ‘Jizz In My Pants’!…. for all we know, he probably did.

Look, just ’cause he played a ninja in a Super Sentai series doesn’t make him a good ninja.

I loved the fact that the Tekken comments were mentioned. It was high time the insanity of your fanbase was mentioned in a review, Spoony! Had me grinning like an idiot. What’s completely ironic is that even in this review where FB was in it for about two minutes, people are still bitching about him!!! Hehehehehehe.

The LittleKuriboh cameo was hilarious on so many levels. I almost choked when WWE was mentioned. Makes sense, though, don’t it? … Although the thought of Kevin Nash having sex with Hulk Hogan is going to give me nightmares FOR FUCKING MONTHS!!

“Intense Computer Hacking Montage” had me in stitches. Isn’t it just wonderful how typing really fast on a computer with no proof-reading of programming or endless hours writing code makes you an expert hacker?

I never played DOA, so I can’t give an opinion on it, but from what I can tell, yeah this movie looks like it mirrored the game pretty damn well. What’s nice is that this was intentionally meant to be silly and over-the-top and fun, and it celebrated that to such ridiculous levels that it actually makes this look like it would be a pretty enjoyable movie to watch… although some fanservice for us straight girls and gay guys would have been nice!!

Also: ‘Shinobi’ kinda MEANS NINJA IN JAPANESE! So ‘Shinobi Ninja Princess’ is… problematic. Grammatically.

Ah Spoony! Your reviews never cease to amuse me (in a good way, mind you)!

Nice to see Film Brain not being afraid of the people here if he can appear not once, but TWICE in (almost) succession. TGWTG needs more people like that, because I really do like seeing other internet personalities interact with him in his videos, even though they may not be AS talented as Spoony, I’ll grant you guys that)

I don’t hate anyone on TGWTG in particular (I actually warmed up to Blockbuster Buster recently), and Film Brain is one of my favorites, and if I don’t watch something on TGWTG, it’s not because I hate them as people or anything, it’s just that I don’t care for the subject matter they review. The guys over at TGWTG, to me personally, are just people having fun, and in the end, that’s what’s important for me.

To the review itself: Funny all-around (I didn’t expect Ace Ventura to show up!) though It would’ve benefited from a little more….something. I can’t put my finger on it, but there was something missing from the stuff you covered in your review, Spoony. I will say that the crew of this movie got the fanservice down right, and while the plot may have been dumb, the games never had much of one to start with, so I blame the games than the crew for the ridiculous plot. Characterizations were all right, nothing great, but nothing terrible either, though it was kinda cool seeing Kevin Nash in there (despite the fact that I’m not a fan of American pro-wrestling at all). Oh I agree: The editing in parts was HORRIBLE!

Advent Children left out most of what gave the game character in favor of what fan fiction authors choose to remember and had terrible editing. The best video game adaptation is clearly Professor Laton, a movie which perfectly encapsulated the feel of the game and its characters (they even managed to make the numbered puzzles work) while remaining completely accessible to new viewers. It also had a better ending fight scene than Advent Children.

What, no Mulan joke with the cricket? And sorry Spoony – Christie is not hot. You really don’t have good taste in women.

i think this movie came for a drunk’s producer poker night where somebody say “i bet you cant do a movie that is almost only fan service” and he say “watch me do it” and we are here.

“Shinobi Ninja Princess”
Doesn’t Shinobi and Ninja mean the same thing, thus make aforementioned title redundant? Then again this oversight is far from the most ridiculous aspect of a movie that makes Street Fight look like Citizen Kane. On the other hand Citizen Kane did not have hot blondes babes in bikinis :)

heck, compared to the game the movie’s downright conservative. only one set of huge knockers and they’re on the middle-aged daddy’s girl with peroxide poisoning. i don’t know if this is true for the whole movie, but from the clips you showed it seems to have that perfect blend of SRS BZNIS and almost-self-awareness that makes Mortal Kombat so much fun. yeah, T&A up to our eyeballs, but it’s so blatant without really being explicit that it comes across as fun rather than pervy.

I just realized that when Kasumi throws off her kimono, her hairstyle suddenly changes.
