Amercian Gladiators, The Movie

[nate80s]

A movie based on American Gladiators is going to be made.  I can't find a release date, however.  A multi-platform game to promote the movie would be great too.  Here's the link: http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800348...yid=13&cs=1.

Who will play the coveted role of Malibu? :-)

I don't think so.

I would also like to know how they counted years.

Perhaps AG for the Wii would be really cool... with the addition of the Motion Plus and add the use of the balance board, it could lead to some very cool uses for games; like using the balance board to direct your Atlasphere (which is kinda already been done via WiiFit with the bubble balance game), and the wiimote to run and shoot in Assault... how to do the Wall however, will be another story.

But, if they're going to do a game, they should focus on the classic AG.  I don't know about anyone else's opinion, but the new "Assault" is nothing like the classic "Assault", among many other games.

I did write an e-mail to Nintendo to suggest that a Wii game be made.  I love the idea.  The NES and SNES versions were pretty fun.  The sequel to the Wii's Active Life Outdoor Challenge does include a rock-climbing game that looks similar to the Wall. Plus there's a WiiWare game called Rock N' Roll Climber also similar to the Wall.  And yes, many of the Wii's accessories could be used with the gameplay.  Every event in the game would be fun to play using Wii's controls.

Actually, it will be about the behind-the-scenes romance between Mike Adamle and Larry Csonka.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Joust...because of the Wiimote, it seems like an obvious shoe in if they were to make a game not to mention it's one of the only events to be used for the entire run).

I dunno....I just hope it wont take on the plot of recent Running Man-esque films, where there's a convict playing a game to gain his freedom (Death Race 08, Slayer). Knowing the film industry, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up like that.

What about the action-oriented, visually interesting (and at times, confrontational) affair between Joe Theismann and Todd Christensen?

/The critics say the film is capable of producing emotional moments.

I get the sense that Deron McBee isn't exactly busy right now - he could reprise his own role.

(Yes, I know about 80% of the Gladiators by their real names. Crucify me.)

...you want to Hang Tough?

Anyway, I think it's clear that this movie is going to be the most excellent hit of my life.

No, no, a thousand times no.  How would Atlasphere, Powerball, the Gauntlet, and the Elminator work for the Wii?

And the NES game was horrible.

Seconded. The only game that is played just like its TV counterpart is Powerball. Assault and Human Cannonball were alright, but Joust and The Wall will make you turn your controller into a weapon. However, those two are a cakewalk compared to the Eliminator.

B-b-but...he wrote a *letter!*
