So excited to see Kevin playing this again. His older videos of this game are some of my favorites.

[@amateurorator]

I’ve never seen the old ones! Now I know what I’m doing with the rest of my afternoon 😂 thanks!

[@RhyzVids]

He’s played this before??? Good thing I’m off school this week because I’ll be here for a while

[@dredits6658]

Literally! I only go back and watch the old ones, unfortunately I just don’t like some of these newer games, it does not reflect on Kevin! The Movies playthrough were hilarious

[@TheRikusj21]

I know, right? I've seen those numerous times!

[@alanale]

Old Kevin videos were epic! Jim Pickens the Harry Potter RP stuff was the peak.

[@BirdsOnTheBat2]

The number of hours I spent playing this game as a kid is probably embarrassing. To be honest , as old as this game is, it's pretty complex and has pretty decent graphics. It's almost 20 years old.

I'm mad I never heard about this game until now... It's not even on Steam anymore :/

I as well can admit to an unhealthy number of hours spent not only by myself but my sister as well lol. Do you remeber the website where we could upload videos we made? there was one on there about a horse the line "I... am a horse" lives rent free lol

​@@carlynzwant this a ps2 Game? Download an emulator

[@WintersunExtras]

I played the hell out of this back in the day. My brother and I had a movie series called "Drunk Monkey", and the plot was always the same. We would use the gorilla costume, and the protagonist would start off in a bar, drinking his life away when something happens either in the bar, or on his way home. Kidnapped by a serial killer, attacked by aliens, pretty much anything. He would always be killed at the end, but the abrupt, final scene would be him laying on the floor of the bar. It was all a dream.

[@Hansuki1]

thats genuinely so amazing, I would pay to see a movie like that

David Bunting's first instinct when he saw harmless aliens was chuck a granade inside the ship he was also inside of. Absolute classic.

[@TimSlee1]

An American classic.

[@TisStilles]

The robot being a vampire was a turning point that saved the movie. No wonder it earned so much money.

[@pedrovallefin8406]

It was really the best trash films has to offer. Syfy horror ahead of its time, they trully peaked as a studio when they made it. It was unavoidable they would only go down after that.

[@shoutarho6081]

Vampire-Robot with the voice of JFK would be something I'd watch.

[@VoodooChildYTP]

You know how all actors tell the same story like "I wasn't even competing for the role, I just got to the audition with a friend who wanted the role and they told me I looked perfect for the part!", well in the kevinverse that is more or less like this "I was a janitor for a movie company and one day the producer looked me in the eyes and told me I was going to be a great movie star! Of course, the movies I did never made any money and I'm starting to think that they just needed someone willing to act, but whatever..."

[@JimPickensCult]

He's simply ahead of his time

[@bvintage3508]

I actually had something similar happen to me in a student film. Except I was going to talk to them about being an extra and they asked me if I was interested auditioning. Mainly cause they hadn't found someone that looked the part they needed and they told me the last girl couldn't take directions. I hadn't attended any auditions before that, I think, but thankfully there wasn't enough time to get nervous about a sudden audition. Less nervous since it was a student film and not a big company.

From what I remember this game's default movie studio name is "Tee Rash Studios", so Kevin naming his "Trash Films" proves he was on the same wavelength as the developers when playing this

[@VolumousSyrup]

Its actually m'eye studio

[@RhyzVids]

Kevin is the type of director to commit terrible atrocities and then create movies based on them and pass their inspirations off as “undocumented historical events” by replacing himself with an old, balding man named Jim.

Probably the stories of many forgotten actors of the past.

[@RoyIMVU]

"They came in Peace and Left in Pieces" is probably the best line in the history of film. It will be quoted more often than things like "Luke, I am your Father" and hopefully misquoted as well.

I hope Kill Joy makes a return, starring Jim Pickens from the hit film Kill Joy 2.

Completely agree this is one of the best sim games. I used to make films through this as a kid and get my parents to voice the actors. My friends rediscovered them on my computer when I was at uni and we still quote the ridiculous lines I came up with as a kid 😅 happy memories!

Hiring the janitor as an actor because he looks good is what the "Club Dorothée" did in France and it worked quite well for them.

I have a feeling that in 70 years, on a strange platform called "KZbin" that exists within the weird invention called the "World Wide Web", some guy who calls himself a "KZbinr" will make a funny video about the film Moonworm that will get popular and this wonderful underrated movie that was ahead of its time will finally get the recognition it deserves.

For those of you trying to run it, if I remember correctly, you have to run it in compatibility mode on Windows. I’m pretty sure I played it on my Windows 10 machine. Right click the program (specifically the .exe file), select the Compatibility tab, check the box that says “Run this program in compatibility mode for”, and select Windows 7 in the drop-down list. It should run properly. Hope this helps.

There is a game on Steam called Blockbuster, Inc. that's pretty much the successor to this game. There is a free prologue out right now. Personally, I don't think it's as fun as the movies; but it's still fun for what it is. The movies can't be topped, IMO. Incredible game.

Oh, I'm so glad you posted this comment. I have the Blockbuster demo and have been putting off playing it because of my fond memories of the Movies series (DLC or expansion packs, I don't recall what the add-ons were called). Looking forward to someone's video review of this game. 👀👀
