I just watched the 2006 movie Crank.

While i saw this a few years ago i was way to "under the influence" to remember anything but the fact its the greatest movie ever.

Till now ive been trying to work out what actual movie it was.

Watch it.

Tell me this isnt the best Video Game influenced movie ever. At least there is one of a plethora of bad attempts, albeit not actually based on a game officially.

If you haveent yet witnessed it, i cannot recommend it enough.

Just to confirm to me im not tripping on the video games angle wikipedia had this. (sure its wikipedia but its enough for me to prove im not tripping.)

The film's plot and action are reminiscent of video games, and the film makes frequent references to video arcade games. The opening credits feature 1980s-$tyle video game graphics and include an arcade-$tyle highscore screen, with the first four entries being FUC, YOU, ASS, HOL in that order. After the end credits, a video game sequence shows Chev running around and shooting gangsters, then dying in the street. A blinking message then reads, "Insert coin to continue. (press 5)," "5" is the default key used to insert coins in the MAME emulator. Various scenes in the film show images or characters from the video game Berzerk, a ****c arcade game with the grim reputation as one of the few games where a person has died from heart problems while playing it. When Verona gets the final call from Chev about where to meet, it can be seen that the guy sitting next to him is playing Berzerk. Amy Smart's character Eve believes Chev to be a video game programmer before he confesses that he is a hitman.

Film critic Brian Orndorf from FilmJerk.com called Crank "The latest stab by Hollywood to cash in on the violent video game craze".[2]
