Two weeks ago, a trailer for a new movie based on the video game Tekken started making the rounds on the Internet. Starring John Foo, it looks like the flick is set to be released in Japan next month before spreading out to some other parts of the world over the course of the year. Though we haven't see it, we're guessing Tekken will be the latest in a long line of subpar video games turned into major motion pictures. But no matter how terrible it is, we're pretty sure it can't possibly be as bad as these ten video game movies....

10. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)


Based On: Tomb Raider (1996)
The Review: To be fair, this movie--and, of course, Angelina Jolie--did make this an acceptable Halloween costume. And we thank it for that. But even a bad leading lady can't make up for a movie that's just plain bad.


9. Max Payne (2008)


Based On: Max Payne (2001)
The Review: Featuring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Ludacris, this looked cool. But the plot of the movie and the plot of the original game were completely different--making it difficult to follow and even more difficult to sit through.


8. BloodRayne (2005)


Based On: BloodRayne (2002)
The Review: As Twilight has shown, people love vampires! Unless, of course, they're strange vampires from ancient Romania. (Sidenote: WTF was Michael Madsen doing in this movie anyway?)


7. DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)


Based On: Dead or Alive (1996)
The Review: Hot chicks. Lots and lots of hot chicks. But the best-selling Dead or Alive game had a better plot than this movie did and, well, the game had no plot, so...yeah.


6. Doom (2005)


Based On: Doom (1993)
The Review: Somehow, The Rock made it to Mars in this unbelievable movie that only made sense to anyone who spent 168 hours a week playing Doom in the late '90s. Unfortunately, he didn't stay there long enough to miss out on making his latest masterpiece.


5. Resident Evil(2002)


Based On: Resident Evil (1996)
The Review: Unlike some of the other movies listed here, RE was actually mildly-entertaining thanks to all the well-shot action scenes. It's one reason there were two more RE flicks made after the original. The plot of this movie still sucks, though, and unless you were a gamer--and, hell, maybe even if you were a gamer--you probably had a hard time keeping up with this one.


4. Double Dragon (1994)


Based On: Double Dragon (1987)
The Review: If Scott Wolf is one of the guys in charge of saving your city, it's probably time to call your realtor.


3. Mortal Kombat (1995)


Based On: Mortal Kombat (1992)
The Review: Because MK was such a popular game, it was easy to excuse this as a passable martial arts movie with some decent action in it. But, really, there was no need for the sequel.


2. Street Fighter (1994)


Based On: Street Fighter (1991)
The Review: The Street Fighter game was great, but it didn't really have a plot. So by adding a plot--and, worse, by adding Jean-Claude Van Damme to play Guile--director Steven E. de Souza literally sucker-punched audiences with this one. We'd rather get trapped in a sweaty elevator with Bison, Balrog, and E. Honda than ever have to sit through this again.


1. Super Mario Bros. (1993)


Based On: Super Mario Bros. (1985)
The Review: Despite the fact that Super Mario Bros. is one of the greatest games of all-time, it has a completely ridiculous premise (two plumbers saving a princess?!). But it works because, well, IT'S A VIDEO GAME! And like the other nine movies listed here it shoulda stayed that way. Shame on you, John Leguizamo!
