    Default Do You Remember 'The Wizard'?

    Does anyone remember the film called The Wizard?

    It was about a trio of young kids who enter this big Super Nitendo competition playing Super Mario Brothers 3.

    I loved this film and would like to find a copy somehow. This film was most definately an 80's classic.

    Do you also remember 'Little Monsters'? I think it stared the same guy (Fred Savage)

    I wish these were both available on DVD!

    This is only one of the best fucking movies ever. Fred Savage takes his brother Jimmy out of a home after he goes a little bonkers when his twin sister dies. Savage sees the kid is great at nintendo (not snes) games, upon meeting the fiesty red-headed halie, they go to a video game competition in California, also the site of Jimmy's sister's death. Along the way the dodge a private investiger trying to track them down, (best line in the movie is when halie yells "He touched my breast"), meet a bunch of truckers, and run afoul of Lucas the video game master (I own all 96 of them, or something like that). This move even has great 80's music. Everytime I hear Send Me an Angel I think of the three riding in the back of a pickup. Also contains New Years Day, a great U2 song. This is one of my favorite movies and I fuckin hope i can buy it on dvd someday. Maybe when Fred Savage gets his lifetime achievent award. ( the guy has done some quality stuff: wonder years, princess bride, working, etc )

    And don't forget Fred Savage's recent role of "The Mole" on Austin Powers 2.

    And what happened to the Power Glove?? If I remember correctly that game master Luke couldn't beat the Jimmy kid without it.
