Video game to film adaptations are often seen as terrible, and sometimes even unwatchable. We're looking back at these films and giving them a second chance, reviewing them with a focus on finding the good in them.

We're going international!
For this tangent, we're looking at video-game-to-film adaptations made outside of North America. Does Hollywood just fail to understand the source material? Let's see if adding subtitles brings these films above subpar!
First up is "Yakuza: Like a Dragon", a Tokyo crime film where the one-eyed man truly is king and the scriptwriter offers too many side quests for the audience to keep track of.
CONTENT WARNING: gang wars, masochists, disinterested law enforcement, bad mothering, mild language.
Featuring the voices of Marc Athanas, Wayne Bressette, and Nick Mohr.
Our theme music was composed by Jack Feerick, and performed and realized by Sam Feerick.
