It’s Not on Like Donkey Kong, Because the Donkey Kong Movie Is Fake
Still, this seems like a pretty solid live-action take on the game. A little Office Space, a little Die Hard (from M. Jumpman’s perspective)… yeah, watching a dude leap barrels in a stairwell isn’t the most riveting of action scenes, but if you add in the other two boards, with the rivets, collapsing floors and sentient fireballs, and then the moving platforms and conveyors belts, well, I’d pay $10 to see that. Fuck that Diddy Kong shit, though. Save that asshole for the sequel, Donkey Kong with a Vengeance.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
