This fan-made, Contra trailer for a movie that has only been made in our hearts keeps us watching as closely as in a one-hit-one-death game. The jokes sometimes miss, but the moments with quick editing and game footage look great. It's made by the same guys who brought you the Punch Out movie trailer, so expect similar shenanigans.

See the video after the break.

I don't know why but I laughed at "get to the chopper"...

Contra muscle suits FTW! And that Nadia chick looked kinda cute in leather. xD

I so want it to be a movie now.

Green light... Red light... I don't care what color light we need, fund it!

nice! I am glad that they put the correct code at the end. I have seen lots of "nerd" t-shirts that say up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, start. The select always gets forgotten.

There's nothing 'forgotten' about it. the 'select' only applies to two player games.

DarkTetsuya: Nov 3rd 2007; 3:17AM

THIS... IS... *CONTRAAAAAAAAAAAA*

Oh sure, 'Press Start' actually gets made, but no luck for a game-specific movie such as this?

(Also, *GET TO THA CHOPPA!*)

Fun stuff - I'd say it's in the the 5% margin of entertaining online video, for sure. But what makes this machinima? Its neither filmed in a 3D game nor virtual space....

Love all the one-liner movie references (especially Predator). (^.^)
