The Bear Claw - Short Films That Deserve To Be Full Length Features
Mortal Kombat Legacy
Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation were actual films based off the video game of the same name but no one would call them cinema gold. The first one was alright but Annihilation was one of the worst movies ever to be produced. Now if this were to be made into film it would have had the opportunity to be one of the best video game movie adaptations ever created! Unfortunately the creators of the video game series weren't too keen on the way the story was changed. Fortunately they have allowed the creators of this short film to do a web series on the game. Check it out here and check out the short below.
Batman: Dead End
The Christopher Nolan Batman was a great trilogy but with director Nolan saying he's not going to be making anymore of these films what is DC and Warner Brothers to do? If they think rebooting the franchise again is the right idea they would be incorrect. They should either just start off with Batman already established, because we all know the back story by now, or they should go with this. Batman: Dead End manages to infuse some life into a franchise that has an unknown future and while I won't spoil it for you it also reinvigorates two other franchises at the same time. You see, a triple whammy.
Time Crisis
First off R.I.P. to Andy Whitfield who is showcased not only in this but also in the first season of the Spartacus series by Starz. He was a great actor. Freddie Wong who partners with Whitfield in this video take out a slew of bad guys... Now I know that I said I hated the "infinite ammo code" in my blog about military films but when it comes to crazy action movies like this or anything John Woo does I give it an pass. No need for reloading when your about to smash a whole bunch of gun-fu into my television. This as a full length feature would be insane!
