“I’m Gonna Need a Vest, My Gloves, and a Pair of Roller Skates”
There’s probably no game I played on my SNES more than Super Bomberman, so I’d be first in line for a live-action Bomberman movie… although I do find it slightly amusing that the explosion effects are pretty good and the bombs themselves look like they were made out of papier-mache in 4th grade art class. I’m going to call it right now — at the end, the black Bomberman lobs a bomb at white Bomberman, but he has the kick power-up and sends it flying back, trapping and killing the black Bomberman with his own bomb. Mainly because that’s what happened to me about 98% of the time I played Bomberman. Much thanks to Tyler S. for the tip.
