Holy shit. How random to reboot this movie.
I wouldn't say its random considering we are living in the 80s:part 2 right now. Just look at some of the move hat have been coming out the past few years Star Wars,blade runner, mad max, Tron etc.

So if it's a reboot, how is the game going to be? Changed from a classic arcade styled game to something like Halo or something?
I really want to see how they update it to a modern setting. I tihnk the original, being made and set in the 80s, was able to get away with the whole "How does the world not know about bizarre activity around a small town (almost like a pit stop) out in the middle of nowhere in California?" Well, back then, being less connected, it's easier to swallow shit happening in isolated communities. That, and like the Polybius myth, back then, you could probably wrap you brain around that sorta thing as being possible. An alien federation sending an arcade cabinet to the middle of nowhere to test gamers if they are potential candidates to become a Starfighter pilot... sure, nobody would know about that. If it popped up somewhere like the Glendale Galleria, I'm sure more people would be aware, but a small, out of the way community, at a time before everybody was online blabbing about everything happening everywhere? Sure!

So after decades of refusal, the original creator was finally convinced to approve a sequel/reboot... by Gary fucking Whitta?
This awoke a deeply embedded memory of how the Death Blossom inspired me to believe that a good playground fighting move was to punch in all directions as fast as you could. I mean, I already believed that, but this movie strengthened my commitment to aggressive uncoordinated flailing.
Are they really going to have Lance Guest in this one?
It sounds like it feel mostly like a reboot with some references to the first film and maybe some cameos.
That movie is a total product of its time. Arcades don't really exist so a real product placement opportunity for Microsoft , Sony or Nintendo here lol.

I'm not proud of this but when I was a kid and I got into a fight at school I hit the other kid in the stomach with like a point blank hadouken move. It just succeeded in pushing the kid away and I got made fun of mercilessly for it. Luckily I changed schools the next year.
Nah, I made up some shit about it being a karate move. I wish tai chi had been popular back then so I could have blamed it on that.
