In 1994 the Street Fighter name was riding high off the back of Street Fighter II, an arcade classic. This meant it was the perfect time to release a movie adaptation and who better to play the role of Guile than Jean-Claude Van Damme at the height of his fame. Much maligned at the time it’s become somewhat of a cult classic despite being more GI Joe than Street Fighter. But at least some of the a...

With the release of both The Minecraft movie and The Last of Us Season 2 we thought we'd revist some classic video game adaptations. So we're kicking things off with 1994's Double Dragon!

In 2004 Marvel took another shot at making a Punisher live action adaptation after the success of Spider-Man, X-Men & Daredevil (I guess?), the Thomas Jane in the lead role. Also acting as his Year One original story it pits him against John Travolta and a family of mobsters who had his entire extended family un-alived (that's for YouTube censorship) after Frank Castle acted out a truely bizar...

The first cinematic adaptation of The Punisher happened to be a little known action film from the late 80's staring Dolph Lundgren.
