WoW Moviewatch: Last Action Crusader

by Moo Money May 14th 2008 at 12:00PM

Since you guys couldn't get enough of Gnomechewer, I'm featuring a suggestion by one of our commenters. If you can remember the 90s, a satire film, Last Action Hero, came out, and it starred California's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. What was supposed to be a summer blockbuster has ended up the butt of jokes for 15 years. However, the dialogue and action worked much better in Last Action Crusader. Keep in mind that this machinima is seven months old.

You're going to have to try to follow along with me on this plot. Arnold Menethil is freed by Scarlet Commander Mograine, and escapes Stormwind to join the Scarlet Crusade. The whole time, he plans to avenge his father's death and reclaim Lordaeron to sit as King. The storyline for this machinima is totally over the top, but then so is the original film that it's parodying. What you can expect is cheesy dialogue, fight scenes, and special effects.

[Thanks, Kassius!]

Wow... what is up with that first voice? Terrible. Other than that, a fun idea, decently executed. I'd love to see it expanded, though I suppose it's not likely if this is seven months old already.

That is hilarious and greatness. Great Job!

It was not bad... but what is with all the half naked orcs at the end?!

In any case... I like to add this to the pile of great Scarlet Crusade machinima.

YES I know the voice is terrible. It's me doing the cliche "hi im from the time of castles and dragons so i have a subtle unconvincing british accent" you know... it's similar to the "hi im an Ultima Online roleplayer m'lady" :P

No, but really. Acknowledging that Im a terrible voice actor was my first step to recovery. My second step was re-releasing this vid with sub-titles and a BRAND NEW RED GLOWY FILTER!
