"Twisted Metal" movie

[Andrew NDB]

This sounds crazy enough that they may actually be onto something. I'd see this.

(yes, it's an adaptation of the video games)

I think the first Twisted Metal was the first game I ever played on the original Playstation, and I was very entertained. Oddly enough, I don't think I've ever owned any game in the series.

It's not a movie, it's a half hour tv series.

Does the story of Twisted Metal Black (http://miscrave.com/articles/twisted-metal-black/) even work as a show? It works for a video game, I think it has fun colorful characters but not sure a lot can be done with them, they're a bit one dimensional and even in the games there doesn't seem to be much they can do with them. Seeing Marcus Kane Sweet Tooth in a show will be cool though.

I am a diehard Twisted Metal fan so I think this is pretty cool. To this day I am still trying to beat TM 2 on hard mode with no cheats or passwords with everybody. I only have 5 people left, but it is quite difficult. I still play 1, 2, and Black pretty often. I sometimes play Head On and Small Brawl as well. 3 and 4 kinda suck though so I barely ever play those ones.

It'd be like the perfect 90s late night Cinemax movie. Next to stuff like Cyborg 2 and Robot Wars and stuff.

What were they thinking? Sweet Tooth quoting the Thong Song? It sounds like they don't have the best writers working on this project.

Guess it’s getting more 3/4

Renewed for a 2nd season

Anyone watching this? Just finished the second season. I loved the first season and while most seem to prefer this latest season I actually liked more the first one but maybe I need to rewatch it.
There's more car combat in this new one but I think they handled characters better the first season.
The show just understands what Twisted Metal is,
(https://miscrave.com/articles/twisted-metal-show/) it mixes humor with violence in a perfect way. Could be a little darker but don't mind, I wouldn't want them to go too serious and forget it's a silly premise.
Good so far, I'm down for a third season if it happens and a new video game of course.

Yeah it was pretty good, I hope it gets one more season to finish it off. It's hilarious how campy it is on purpose, with them singing the the early 2000's song in the car from Michelle Branch.

I thought it was good so far. Not great, but still good. I love what they did with Sweet Tooth's character.
