Someone Faithfully Recreated ‘Terminator 2’ in ‘Grand Theft Auto V’
Because you always wanted to see Eddie Furlong in GTA.
You can say what you want about Avatar and his extreme devotion to making as many sequels to it as possible, but you simply cannot deny that James Cameron gave us two of the very best action films ever made. Just a few years apart, Cameron brought his action film aesthetic to sequel Aliens and then reinvented his own 1984 film with Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The latter is widely considered to be on the top action films of all time, and it may in fact be the single best.
Why are we talking about Terminator 2 today? Well, one fan with a whole lot of time on his hands just remade nearly the entire film using Grand Theft Auto 5; I’m not even going to pretend to know how something like this is even possible, but he did it and you need to see it. Running an hour-long, the “full film cover” doesn’t recreate every single scene in the movie, but the man behind Kramer’s Media touched upon all the general beats and, best of all, all the greatest hits.
This is INCREDIBLE. Seriously. It’s a must-watch.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
