JeddJong 50 Posted September 25, 2014 Â Imagine Tron or The Lawnmower Man meets Space Jam. That's Amazing, a 2013 Chinese "sci-fi basketball" film. It's about a gifted Chinese programmer who comes up with a virtual reality basketball game, only to discover fatal flaws in the programming. His boss (named "Frank Miller" and played by scenery-chomping Eric Mabius) pushes the release of the game anyway and the only ones who can fix the situation are Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and Scottie Pippen. Yes, that Carmelo Anthony, that Dwight Howard and that Scottie Pippen. This was made with the full cooperation and endorsement of the NBA. More than half the dialogue is in Mandarin, but I think this would be a worthwhile foray into so bad it's good foreign moves for HTDGM. Share this post Link to post
VinsanityV22 500 Posted September 27, 2014 Imagine Tron or The Lawnmower Man meets Space Jam. Â Â Done. I'm done reading. I'm sold! I need to see this myself! And HDTGM definitely needs to tackle a movie that's this. How can 'Sci-fi Basketball' not be a genre that gets an instant pass into the podcast!? lol. Â Though to be fair, that description just reminds me that they need to do Space Jam already. JEEZ LOUISE! Lebron James will get Space Jam 2 done before HDTGM tackles Space Jam 1 at this rate... Â Anyway, lemme put the trailer here for ya, Jedd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m_58fA8NwI Â You forgot to mention that those VFX are almost as good-looking as NBA 2K14!
