5:32 Holy crap, I remember I had Bull as a kid, and he was the dummy whose limbs you had to pull off manually, rather than the spring-loaded ones that eject with the button. When playing with my other action figures I'd always pretend he was the "friend of the good guys" who got slowly dismembered by the bad guy (usually Mr. Sinister), and that would motivate the good guys to eventually hunt down the bad guy at the end of my make-believe narrative. Good fricking times.

[@MODeration_nXS]

Good times indeed! I had the pickup truck that was meant for Bull. It had a spring-loaded axle that would cause a rollover accident. 😆 Crash dummies were my absolute favorite with Lego in a close 2nd.

That would make sense, and obviously, that wasn't what LJN was going for.

[@blknightsixtyfo]

Same af

[@CornerstoneMinistry316]

That's because theres a band called crash test dummies

[@Jacksendary]

you should had known better from knowing it was an LJN Game

[@tthomaselli2]

I think the guys who The Angry Video Game Nerd mentioned around 12:36-12:47 also had something to do with the music from 'Batman Forever' for the Super Nintendo. I could be wrong, but, I recall seeing their names in the end credits...

[@compendiumdigital5570]

The references to Crash Test Dummies (the band) made me laugh out LOUD. Especially at 6:58 lololol

•Hey Dad! Look, I got a sticker from school! >Aw, nice. What is it? •It’s a tiny little rainbo.... >Not in this household!

5:07 The crash-test cat is called “Hubcat”. Genius.

[@PC_Simo]

[@WraithTDK]

Admit it: when you saw those G.I. Joe PSA's at the beginning, you heard "PORK CHOP SANDWHICHES" and "Who wants a body massage?!" in your head.

[@mrmanager6591]

17:33 that parody of The Primitives song crash was actually really good...

[@PrincessPooonyPoona]

I think the song is called (LAPHING JOKIN NUMBNUTS OR LJN)

[@Super60429]

Wow, this game had people “fly off to the right and explode” a whole 20 years before Ride to Hell did it. I can’t believe that.

[@insurgentlowcash7564]

You know whats bad? My best friend and I watched every teaser trailer for RTH leading up to its release back then. We bought the only 2 copies in our town expecting it to be like GTA but with bobbers/choppers. The disappointment kicked in 5 mins into the game(maybe less). It was supposed to be a hell-raising simulator. Check the old vids where it was like a cool barfight. We actually took a .38 to both copies the next day. I have never been that disappointed in a game. It is so bad! Their hands are big as a hog leg! Dont ever fall into the hype train.

If the crash dummies game was more like, say, Golden Axe it would have been better. I see it as a hack n slash game, not a platformer.
