Wissenswertes
The movie has developed a cult following, with movie-themed retro gaming tournaments hosted across the country. Luke Edwards, Fred Savage, and Jenny Lewis have made appearances at these events.

Patzer
After playing Double Dragon (1987) at the bus stop, Corey remarks that Jimmy scored 50,000 points. Jimmy played for less than two minutes. In real life, that would have to playing through almost the entire game, which would take much longer.

Zitate
Lucas: I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.

Alternative Versionen
When shown on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, all profane language is cut, along with the "he touched my breast" line (and, of course, all subsequent references to that line.)

You got 50,000 on Double Dragon?!?

If you were born between the years 1974 and 1984 and were as obsessed as most of us were about Nintendo games, you will enjoy this movie. Yes, the plot is predictable and cheesy and the writing leaves a lot to be desired, but I guarantee if you fall into the above group, you will enjoy regressing back to 1989 where having "all 97 games," and "the power glove (it's so bad...)" were major status symbols. If you don't fall into this group, or couldn't really care less about old video games, then you should probably pass on this film. But for the rest of us, (I used to watch the commercial for this film just to get a glimpse at Super Mario Bros. 3) watch it and enjoy it time after time.
