The Top 7... stupidest videogame scenes in movies

Hate the way Hollywood portrays your favorite hobby? Our clips will make your blood boil

Words: Mikel Reparaz, GamesRadar US

7. Surf Ninjas (1993)

The film: Surfer kids Adam and Johnny find out they're really the long-lost princes of an island that's been conquered by evil cyborg Leslie Nielsen. With the help of Rob Schneider and a one-eyed ninja bodyguard, it's up to them to reclaim their thrones.

The game: Surf Ninjas for the Sega Game Gear.

The scenes: In a scenario only a shameless marketing department could devise, 11-year-old Adam finds his Shinobi cartridge magically replaced by the Surf Ninjas game, which shows him everything that's about to happen before it actually does. Yes, really.

Why it's stupid: Actually, this would be one of the most realistic representations of videogames in a movie ever if it didn't involve the game being used as some sort of weird mind-control/future-prediction device. As it is, though, Surf Ninjas strikes a rich vein of stupid, with Adam using his oversized handheld to short-circuit Nielsen's cyber-samurai armor and to force his bodyguard to fight ninjas with chopsticks, all by just playing the game.

Wow, House of the Dead was terrible. But... that was possibly the coolest presentation of a shotgun kill I have ever seen.

In reaty, when I was about 12 and I was playing my Gameboy at one corner of the house of my mother's friend, everyone was praising my mother and saying "Oh look how quiet behaved he is playing his cute little gameboy there....." these movie directors only see the negative side of games, not the positive, which is more often the one that really matters more........
