Here are some possible ideas of games that could be based on movies (some are fairly feasible, while some are incredibly unlikely) - what are some other movies that might work as games?

Enter the Dragon: This movie would be an excellent opportunity to make a well-done Bruce Lee game and be everything that "Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon" wasn't

Conan the Barbarian: Several RPG's have adopted elements from this movie, but the original short stories and comics provide a rich treasure trove of lore that could be explored in a game

Zulu: This classic film might make a good Kessen-style strategy game, especially since African civilization & history is a topic that hasn't been explored in many games

The Real Cancun: This is probably the least likely idea, but it would certainly make for an interesting RPG or dating-sim using the DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball engine (an idea like this could only work in Japan, since the movie failed miserably in the US... it might have even failed miserably in Japan for all I know)

Another game to utilize the "boob physics" engine from Tecmo. Great idea, cause even though the movie may have blown, a game based on it could still sell like crazy.

Enter the Dragon would be a sweet game...nothing can be worse than that Quest of the Dragon crap.

However, I'm all for any game that lets you play as John Saxon. If you don't know who John Saxon is, just ask...I'll let you borrow Mitchell.

I dunno know if Zulu would be a very good game.. Didnt the Red Coats just come in and open a can of whoop-ass on the Zulu.. I mean, it'd be easy for the English, and impossible for the Zulu..
Granted, I havent seen the movie Zulu in about 10 years and I know absolutly nothing about the real war or time period of that region. This is based on what I remember from seeing it at 9 years old.

But on that note, how about a WWII game, where you play as either Germany invadeing Poland, or italy invading Etheopia.. What makes it even more fun is that the polish a few light brigades of horsemen, while the Germans had heavy tanks.. and the Etheopeans had spearmen, while the italians had bomber planes..

lol - that's the way it happened in the actual movie, but a game would be much more fun if it involved a way to win from either perspective (such as Kessen allowing victory from either the side of Tokugawa or Ishida). With that in mind, it would be interesting to see how it might work from a strategy perspective, with the British forces having superior technology but the Zulu warriors having strength in numbers.

The Germany vs. Poland or Italy vs. Ethiopia situations really remind me of Empire Earth, where it was possible to unleash nuclear destruction on say, France, who might still be in the Imperial age with riflemen and steamships

I loved doing that in Civ 1,2,3...
What makes it even more fun is that it is France.. LOLOLOL
