What critics compared DOA: Dead or Alive to
Funny, then, that a movie bent on ripping off the basics of the show -- as well as the Bruce Lee movie "Game of Death" and other bits of inspiration for the Tarantino set -- can't be bothered.
Throughout the years, we have been treated to many video game-to-film monstrosities from Super Mario Bros. to Doom, from DOA: Dead or Alive to Hitman: Agent 47, and of course, the absolute abomination of them all in Uwe Boll’s significant masterpiece Bloodrayne.
