I actually have always really loved the movie. It's a perfect send up of tropes that Arnold himself basically created. "Dere's ahlways a guy in da clahset!" Ian McKellan as death, Charles Dance's gleefully hammy villain, and Arnold himself at his goofy best. I think the biggest blow to the movie as a whole is comparing it to all the other movies that came out that year, i.e., Jurassic Park, The Fugitive, Army of Darkness, Falling Down, etc. It just kinda got lost in a year that spawned some absolutely classic films and franchises. Maybe watch it again with a less critical eye and just enjoy how it plays with genre conventions and Arnold's always awkward humor.

Some movie trivia: The cartoon cat cop was supposed to have a bigger role in the movie but was cut in later drafts.

Jack Slater looks like Robert DeNiro

Last Action Hero is a dog's dinner of an action game. Apparently stuff like "standards" and "professionalism" aren't priorities for everyone when it comes to the quality of their work.

The music and samples remind me an awful lot of of Terminator 2 for SNES

I never got past the 1st level when I was young. Game was a let down. Thank God for utube now and days. I can actually enjoy the game

"I can’t even get past the first stage, getting whacked to death by Ernest P. Worrell sends me into a fit of rage"

I love this game. Got it for Christmas. Thanks for the video

14:55 Jack Slater : What is this place? Where am I now?

My cousin actually gave me this game because she didn't want it. I'm pretty sure she should have been paying me to take it. I played through it last year, and indeed, it is awful.

Jack looks more like Al Bundy than Arnold

The film is an underapreciated Schwartznager classic that suprisingly holds up well to this day. Much like Jingle All The Way it really doesn't desreve all the hate it gets. The game however needs to be taken out into the street and be repeatedly shot. Prefeferably with an excesive amount of 80's Action Film violence to gaurentee it's never seen again.

The baseball bat guy looks like Ash Catchem and the guy with the knife looks like Scott Hall

24:50 Jack Slater : No sequel for you.

Confession:I've still never seen a single scene from the movie. It's been on my "not so urgent" watch list for decades. I only know about it because of the soundtrack CD, which was possibly my very first intro to Metal. 🤘❤

The first two enemies looked like the Outsiders. Too sweet

Why do you hurt yourself like this? (This said, I do kinda dig the music, and I rather liked the movie myself, particularly when I got older and it started becoming a little clearer to me exactly what it was going for.)

We are almost the same age. I was 15 when this came out.

This is one of those types of games that leaves you with one word in mind "Huh". That's the vibe I get from older and some new movies, games and anime. Because whether you love it, hate it or neither, the end result out all that says a lot. The title, the concept and even the source makes sense. The concept: "You are a badass therefore you uphold that title by action. You are THE shit. You are a rarity and not many know you exist." Yeah, that's deep, bit lofty but deep regardless. I've seen the movie and it only works if you shut your brain off (which people need to do that more often)you lean back and enjoy. This game is just like this movie even if the beat 'em up aspect is meh. It's the concept that is important.

LOVE the movie, one of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, have seen is 50 times and still it is fantastic, my little nephews also love the movie and have seen it many times already.

I'm stuck on the second driving level. Every playthrough I watch automatically wins when the timer reaches 143, but my reaches 142, goes immediately to 0, then I automatically lose. What am I supposed to do?

Oh man imagine a Jingle all the way game that runs off this exact engine and uses the same soundfont much like how the Terminator 2 game did.

AVGN should of reviewed this game when he did the Arnold games review instead of the NES one

I cam here just after the Jared video, yep this is rough lol

How.. Did you do that? This was the first SNES game I never could finish, Heck I couldn't even get past the streets without dying despite getting pretty far on that stage.

I like the part where he punched that guy.

0:04 That jumbo Sony Imagesoft logo is rather scary

holy shit, the same 3 fucking enemies over and over. Jeez

Lmao. I'm here because someone asked me what the worst game for the Snes was and I said it was this one. I haven't looked at this game in like 20 years but it's still accurate. What a turd this game was

The music is rock'n, LOL. stay blessed all in Jesus shalom

The sprite looks more like an out of shape Robert DeNiro than it does Schwarzenegger.

I ended up renting this game twice because I couldn't get past the helicopter the first time.

Okay, so which game did you think was worse? This or Guardians of the 'Hood?

Wonder how long it took to memorize the damn car level

Isnt the theme the same as the one in terminator 2 game?

That's what T-1000 was doing on the cameo.

I would play this game in 2020 remastered

"Right after dropping into the first level, this image can be seen VERY quickly flashing in Background Layer 1. " WHERE???!! WHERE IS THE CAT IN THE BG LAYER 1???

This game was sofreaking hard

Again i saw this on another channel. And again i completely forgot about it. In this game’s world, Jack Slater looks like a bulk Pierce Brosnan with a mustache and can return missiles with his fist. Also, Benedict has the power of teleportation and launch glass eyes out of his hands. And he looks like Kenny Loggins with sunglasses. What they were thinking ?! I don’t like the music. This doesn’t do justice for the movie, even it didn’t work.

The game is 20 minutes long? The artwork for the game would have taking longer to make

I kicked the shit outta this game I still remember how hard Benedict was love the song to

Dat Music Tho I wonder if you are the first person on earth to beat this game?

Last Action Hero (Super Nintendo) Year: October 1993 Developer: Bits Studios Publisher: Sony Imagesoft Graphics: (3/10) - I will start by saying that the graphics look VERY bland and somewhat ugly. I mean, Jack Slater doesn't look like Jack Slater at all! I have heard this being compared to NES games (because the graphics look a lot like a bad NES game, let alone an SNES game). If it weren't for the multi-layered (parallax) scrolling, I would have thought this was an NES game (just by looking at still shots)! I hate to say this, but I have seen early NES games that had better graphics than Last Action Hero for the SNES. There is no good excuse for any SNES game to look very bland and somewhat ugly. (Yeah, I know graphics are the least important part of any game, but the developers could have tried to make the graphics look at least halfway decent)! Music/Sound: (4/10) - Yuck...….the soundtrack sounds like the developers TRIED to do techno/heavy metal, but they failed miserably! I mean, it sounds like a CARNIVAL! It will probably give some people headaches! I will give the developers of the SNES version of Last Action Hero ONE point in it's favor........it has MORE than ONE soundtrack in it, at least (I am looking at you, TMNT 2: The Arcade Game for the DOS)! The sound effects themselves aren't THAT bad, but they can be better. Depth (2/10): You want depth? Well, you are not going to get it here, that's for sure. I mean, all you have is a PUNCH and a KICK...…that's it. (In the European version, I believe you also have a duck kick (wow) and a split kick (wow)). Add to the fact that you don't (and can't) get weapons and the fact that you will punch them to death because of the kick being no good and you have one hell of a boring, repetitive game (among a host of other things). Oh, and you don't get any special moves, either (or any combos, for that matter). Isn't that nice? Don't expect ANY amount of depth in this game. Even Kung Fu and Trojan on NES have more depth than Last Action Hero on SNES! (It's sad when I actually prefer Kung Fu (NES) AND Trojan (NES) over this turd (Last Action Hero for the SNES, that is) of a game). You might have a TINY bit of variety (with the car chase levels and the helicopter boss)…..but you will see why that's thrown out the window real quick. (Yeah, I know beat-em-ups tend to be repetitive by nature, but Last Action Hero for the SNES REALLY pushes it from repetitive by nature to you will get bored and/or sleep in 5 minutes or less due to it's lack of depth). Gameplay (1/10): Where I do even begin? I will start by saying that the combat REALLY sucks. The fact that you are LITERALLY punching (and JUST punching) your opponents to death makes the game a literal bore-fest and a snooze-fest. It's just punch, punch, punch your opponents until you either get bored or sleep! There is no variation on punching enemies to death, either! The worst part, is that, bosses can be defeated easily doing this too! I mean, add multiple paths or something like that (just so people don't get bored)! Difficulty (10/10): Oh my gosh...…you want a BS difficult, cheaper-than-a-small-bag-of-potato-chips kind of game? Well, you got it. Where should I begin? I will start with the fact that you CANNOT get any weapons in this game (at all)! That means that the enemies ALWAYS have weapons (at all times), making combat even worse than it should be (because of the lack of special moves). Oh, and you think it gets better? NO, it doesn't! The car chase levels are often frustrating as hell (with the player being defenseless, because I love that SO much (/sarcasm)), the cars are hard as hell to avoid, ramming them is a pain, and you can get 1-HKOed by parked trucks! Oh, but that's not the worst part. The worst part, is that, if you die for any reason (including boredom and/or frustration, which will happen due to lack of depth and variety), you go back RIGHT to the beginning of the level! Really, the developers couldn't put CHECKPOINTS in this version of Last Action Hero? Oh, and the time limit (at least in the US version) is incredibly strict (at least in the very beginning of LAH - SNES)! I could not tell you how many times I died due to the timer being at zero. Even if you do manage to make it to the bosses, you will probably have maybe 40 or 50 seconds left on the timer. You start with 5 lives, but it does not matter in the slightest (because of the fact that you go back to the beginning of the level EVERY TIME YOU DIE). So, what that means, is that, you pretty much have to do Last Action Hero - SNES.....IN ONE LIFE! THAT'S HORRIBLE GAME DESIGN! NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT! I HAVE SEEN ARCADE/NES/SNES/GENESIS/MASTER SYSTEM GAMES THAT ARE FAR BETTER THAN THIS TRASH THAT IS CALLED LAST ACTION HERO (SNES)! HELL, I COULD NAME ANY 8-BIT/16-BIT GAME AND 9.9 TIMES OUT OF 10, IT WILL BE BETTER THAN THIS! Oh, and I have heard that people have quit (probably out of boredom and/or frustration) during the FIRST level! Sorry, I had to rant like hell (just to get that off my chest). Another thing I so desperately love (/sarcasm), is that, you get BARELY any health power-ups and the health power-ups BARELY heal you any (like maybe 5% of your life bar, at most). I have seen health power-ups heal more than that (in any beat-em-up game, or otherwise)! You also take fall damage as well (although compared to the mountains of stuff that you have to deal with, that's nothing). Replay-ability (1/10): I am being real generous with this score here. I would not even begin to recommend even trying Last Action Hero for the SNES (let alone playing it) due to lack of depth and variety, bland-somewhat ugly graphics, really annoying/carnival-sounding music, boring and repetitive and frustrating gameplay and a whole host of other negative factors that drag it down severely. I would not even remotely come close to playing this again. In fact, if you gave me a choice between Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the SNES and Last Action Hero for the SNES, I would take Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the SNES every time over Last Action Hero for the SNES, because Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the SNES is at least decent (in every category)! Total Score (1.5/10): Geez...…this is one of the WORST beat-em-ups I have ever played. Trust me, take my (and MoviesToVideoGamesReviews's) advice: AVOID, AVOID, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! Do not even THINK about trying (let alone buying) this game! P.S.: I wonder if Last Action Hero for the SNES gave some people PTSD? Probably.

That looks less like Arnold and more like Mike Stoklasa from RedLetterMedia

design looks nice... maybe i play it tho' all people hate it

Rented this game back in 94 as a kid and couldn't get past the first level. This game is outrageously hard and repetitive.

Arnold looks like Doug Funnie

bravo

Last Action Hero is one of my all-time favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. It's so ungodly stupid, but it kicks a ton of ass! I wouldn't say that it's the best Schwarzenegger film, but it deserves more love than it gets. The same can't be said for the SNES and Genesis games, I'm afraid. It's kinda sad when the 16-bit iterations of Last Action Hero have nothing going for them at all, but the 8-bit NES version sounds and looks okay for a 1993 game. NEGATIVES (Where do I begin!?) • *Awful Graphics* (This is 1993 SNES and Genesis were talking about, here. And there were plenty of other SNES and Genesis games that at the time looked way better than this. Hell, even some NES games looked better, too! Just pathetic!) • *Terrible Music* (Say what you want about the NES version, but that had decent music. This version sounds atrocious! This is a system that can emulate the sounds of real instruments, so it *really* kills the enjoyment! It makes games like _Sonic Genesis_ or _Revolution X on Genesis_ sound like Mozart!) • *Slow Attacks* (Can I mention how bad the combat in this game is? You have a slow punch and an even slower kick. These attacks *SUCK!!!* It's so hard to not get hit by an enemy with these moves! Some enemies even have a wider attack range than you! It makes the game hard in an arbitrary way.) • *Poor Collision Detection* (It's even worse than the NES version! You can even run through enemies without taking any damage in the SNES version, only! Again, this is *16-BITS!!!* 😣) • *Stills Look Like Garbage* • *Unnecessary Floaty Jumps* (For a Beat em' Up, there should not be any floatiness in my jumps, whatsoever. There's not even any real platforming in this game, so what's the point other than to evade getting hit?) • *Boring Driving Stages* (Not much to say, here. You just drive around and occasionally blow cars up.) • *Does Not Utilize Every Button* (For a Beat em' Up on the SNES, it doesn't use all of the face buttons, or the "L" & "R" bumpers. Sure, _Turtles in Time_ had this, too. But it wasn't a big deal, as the attacks were more than capable of defeating the Foot Clan and others with it's superb Collision Detection.) Final Rating: 1/10 One of the worst SNES & Genesis games ever made! Do *NOT* play this!! Watch the movie, instead.

i own this game, but why did i think it was a shooter style?

Yea, you could tell Last Action Hero was the beginning of a slump for poor Arnold back in the early- mid 90s...think the only movie of his i enjoyed was Jingle All the Way, but then again I'm always a sucker to see Schwarzenegger try his hand at family friendly movies lol. As for the game, played it as well and yea, agree with everything you said

Is this the new game?

Arnold Schwarzenegger has good movies

Hero looks like he played in B-grade sitcoms, not as badass in action movies.

Where is Arnold ? 🤣

Not too long ago i got this game.for Snes .it.was about 7 bucks

This game is a such a flimsy cash grab I feel sorry for the kids and their parents who spent money on this

Desesperante la música del primer nivel

Loved the film. It was way ahead of it's time. This game looks incredibly boring.

i loved movie but very disappointed when i git game big ket down no guns and bombs. makers of this don't know what they thinking. this has similiar nusic terminator 2 game

why does Jack slater look like a Polish plumber?

26 Minutes? This is a very long Game ;-)

It's over already? Well, least the music rocks! 🤘🏼

*Eu vi o filme e zerei esse jogo e posso dizer que tanto o filme quanto o jogo é uma verdadeira porcaria*

Sorry but no. I got this as a gift and was throughly saddened. After the controls of Final Fight this was unbearable.

This game looks some how so much worse than I remembered it as a kid😂

I remember being 12 yrs old and playing this game. Next to Superman 64, there hasn’t been a game that I disliked more. Last Action Hero was so poorly constructed. How does anybody beat this game let alone a 12 yr old? I would grow so frustrated because no matter how many times I tried, I would never get far in the game because I would die. And if you die, it’s not like Mario where you get to continue from your last level…no with this shitty game, you have to start all over again. My friends bought the game for me as a birthday gift but it was a terribly buy. I even like Mario Paint more than this game and Mario Paint isn’t even a game. Last Action Hero is a terribly boring and uninspiring game trying make a quick buck off the success of Last Action Hero movie and the Super Nintendo console. There was never any effort here to make the game beatable and the fighting is incredibly repetitive and monotonous. Arguably the worst video game on the SNES console.

what a borefest

I absolutely hated the SNES and Genesis versions of Last Action Hero - to the point where I 100% hated the developer's guts. The developers of both the SNES and Genesis versions of Last Action Hero should have been imprisoned and then have prisoners beat them to death. (Yes, the SNES and Genesis versions of Last Action Hero are THAT bad). I would probably consider the SNES and Genesis versions of Last Action Hero Kusoge! Where do I begin? 1. There's no weapons - AT ALL - throughout the entire game! (That's just lazy/horrible design). You can't take them from enemies and you can't steal them from enemies. 2. The hit detection is AWFUL. (You can't hurt the enemies if they happen to be on top of your sprite or if they are too close to the edges of the screen). 3. There's only 2 moves in the entire game! (No, you can't learn moves, you can't steal moves and you certainly can't absorb moves, either)! 4. The time limit is WAY too strict (at least in the USA region of Last Action Hero for the SNES). (Seriously, if you don't hurry up and KO the enemies fast enough, you are screwed)! 5. The graphics look pretty bad. (One reviewer actually said that "Jack Slater" looked like the one of the characters from the TV SHOW Coach)! The game and character graphics look bland as hell too. 6. The SNES and Genesis (hell, every version) of Last Action Hero is super-repetitive, super-boring and less fun than getting influenza or chicken pox! The fact that there's only a punch and a kick in the USA SNES version of Last Action Hero and no weapons doesn't help, either! (I can guarantee that most people won't have ANY interest in this game AT ALL - beyond the first level)! 7. If you die for any reason (including boredom), you start back at the beginning of the level. (Come on, that's complete bull$h!t - the SNES and Genesis versions of Last Action Hero are already super-repetitive, super-boring pieces of junk)! Most beat em ups (not every beat em up, but most of them) actually let you re-spawn where you died! 8. The bosses are easy as heck! Seriously, did the developers put NO effort in this game, at all? Apparently, because the bosses are too easy to begin with! 9. For basically no reason whatsoever, the SNES and Genesis versions of Last Action Hero make you waste your time - by going right, KOing enemies and then going left and KOing more enemies. (Then again, the SNES and Genesis versions are a waste of time to play, let along buy, because of the reasons I said above). 10. The music sucks. It is loud as hell - it's like it's trying to be Mega Man X, but it falls flat on it's face! (Okay, fine - I have heard worse - and at least the SNES and Genesis of Last Action Hero isn't TMNT 2 for DOS - because at least the SNES and Genesis of Last Action Hero have several music tracks throughout the game! (TMNT 2 for DOS is COMPLETELY pathetic in the sound and music department, because TMNT 2 for DOS has ONE - count em - ONE super-annoying, super-repetitive (that repeats every 8 seconds) soundtrack in that game! 11. In the Genesis version of Last Action Hero, a targeting reticule comes out to harm you! 12. There's barely any health items! Whatever health items you do get, it doesn't heal you very much! (Seriously, I have seen health items (from other beat em ups) that healed more than the SNES and Genesis of Last Action Hero's pitiful amount)! (Continuing in Part 2....)

When is your next video? :D Keep it up! Would you like to be KZfaq friends? :]

Worst game ever.

very shit game 🤣😂

This game is a piece of crap!

Stupid game

Awesome movie. Crap game.
