Video games and movies. One would think they would go together like chocolate and peanut butter. But the track record for video game to big screen transitions has been rocky. Remember Super Mario Bros. and Resident Evil? Movies can inspire people to tattoo their bodies with their favorite characters and we’ve chronicled some of those films in the funniest movie charts . There are some classic video games that could never be transformed into a movie. That has not stopped some people from creating their own trailers. Here are the 7 Funniest Fake Movie Trailers About Video Games.
7. Donkey Kong: The Movie
This has the perfect storyline for a movie. A Jumpman must rescue a damsel in distress from a giant ape. And there are those damn hammering barrels. Damn you to hell hammering barrels.
6. The Legend of Zelda
Set in the fantasy land of Hyrule, it already sounds more exciting than Middle Earth. The plot centers on a boy named Link who aims to rescue Princess Zelda from that douchebag Ganon. Plus there are dungeons which are loved by nerds worldwide.
5. Tetris: The Movie
It’s a giant puzzle, sort of like The Da Vinci Code except without all that Jesus had sex stuff.
4. Minesweeper
A grid of blank squares. Then you click on the squares and try not to get killed by a mine. This sounds like a comedy already.
3. Punch-Out
The game had some of the most memorable boxing video game characters ever created. Who wouldn’t love to these guys appear on the big screen? Perhaps one of them will get a cameo in the sequel to The Hangover.
2. Duck Hunt
This is the movie Dick Cheney called the feel good movie of the year.
1. Pac-Man: The Movie
Pac-Man is our favorite. It has all of the elements to make an awesome movie. For crying out loud, there are ghosts chasing you and you can eat them when they turn blue!
