Games vs Movies: 20 cutscenes compared

Look at any marketing material for the Home Alone movies and you’ll see Macaulay Culkin doing that “hands on face screaming” thing that gripped the heart of the nation in the early nineties. But, if you pay attention to the SNES screenshot, you’ll notice he’s not wearing a shirt. Most people forget that Mac makes this expression after he puts aftershave on his face. Just thought we’d point that out.

This game based on the Robin Williams/Spielberg disaster forgoes actual screens from the film, instead using anime-like sprites. Here, Tinker Bell lifts Peter Pan out a window wrapped in a bet sheet and carries him to Neverland. Insert either: a) a bad Michael Jackson joke or b) a terrible animated Robin Williams joke.


It’s not the exact framing, but Robert Downey Iron Man is hard at work NOT making a missile for terrorists. Could it be a costume made of iron? *Cue Black Sabbath.

These scenes don’t exactly match up, but you get it. Giant dinosaur terrorizes jeep. Humans = screwed.
