I reckon Segata Sanshiro could kick Rocky's arse...
Having said that, given the rediculous premise of the film, I quite fancy it!
quite insane, but thats Rocky for you, and as the byline says "it aint' over til it's over" gives the elderly hope.....
Segata Sanshiro should know, he's had quite the revival of interest of late......
Greetings, EG! Kudos on your review of "Geriatric Boxer XXXII"!
Seriously; the film is quite a success over here in the Land of Sequels, Rehashes and Bad Videogame Adaptations...and the movie wasn't half as bad as I am making it out to be.
Note: I see that my short absence has been duly noted by Blogspot; I am back to eight-letter hieroglyphic verification :)
Yes, fine, it ain't over etc and Father's weird bloke could definitely beat him up, but doesn't Stalone's back hurt? Not a bit?
Wow.
Oh, rc, it's "scoblvrle"
Indeed RC too long an absence, blogger is very fickle, fortunately my hieroglyphic days are but a distant memory, being logged into blogger now carries the added advantage of have a cookie determine my authenticity....
no mr.gnome it appears to be a back made of solid iron, not so fortunate the rest of us i fear....
Another movie/game adaption. Why don't they just try something new for a change...
Yep, something like iron backs!
better still a game based on a game... (thinks hard....) minesweeper with electric suppositories....
Hey I thought DOA is doing that. A movie based on a game that's based on a game.
...
Did I miss something?
Uhm.. how about a graphic novel bosed on a movie based on a game based on a poem?
FK's "weird bloke"???
The youth of today...tsk, tsk, tsk... No respect! *Harumph!!*
? yes well DOA was indeed a movie based on a game, based on a game....
but apart from DOA it would be nice to see more games based on games.....
(monopoly online.....)
humfp, well apart from DOA and monopoly...
(several hours later)....
and indeed a graphic novel based on a movie based on a game based on a poemm would be exceptional... and Kubla Khan would have to be the poem.... surely
