Every once in a while a memory of a movie will resurface, and I will do my best to research it through YouTube, IMDB, Netflix, torrents, etc. Well, this happened recently with the 80s movie, "T.A.G. - The Assassination Game". This is the only video I could find on YouTube about this movie ...
I remember watching this movie as a kid, and I also remember getting it mixed up with "Gotcha!", starring Anthony Edwards and Linda Fiorentino. I think "Gotcha!" did a lot better at the box office, and there are tons of videos and information on the internet about it.
There is hardly any information on T.A.G., and I think it is a much better movie. It definitely has tons of pop culture embedded in it. Linda Hamilton, Robert Carradine, Michael Winslow, and Xander Berkeley (brief role) star in it. Everyone knows who Linda Hamilton is. Robert Carradine was a nerd with, coincidentally enough, Anthony Edwards, in "Revenge of the Nerds". Michael Winslow was the cop who made all the cool sound effects with his mouth in the Police Academy movies (he was also in Spaceballs, and a recent GEICO commercial). Xander Berkeley is only in the beginning of the movie. He was Virginia Madsen's character's cheating husband in "Candyman". He gets his comeuppance at the end of that movie. He also starred in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (small role), which could be described as Linda Hamilton's biggest movie ever (especially since she got all that press for developing her arm muscles).
The director of T.A.G.-The Assassination Game is Nick Catle (his famous father's name is Nick Castle, too). Nick Castle worked a lot with John Carpernter (who wrote the movie, "Black Moon Rising", starring Linda Hamilton). Nick Castle has directed a lot of well known movies, such as "The Last Starfighter", which is being remade for 2010. However, the most interesting fact about Nick Castle's career is that he is "The Shape" in Halloween, meaning he is the one in the William Shatner/Captain Kirk mask, walking around killing people in the movie. He is not the guy playing Michael Myers when Jamie Lee Curtis pulls off the mask ... that is Tony Moran.
OK, with all that history, here is the beginning of T.A.G. - The Assassination Game (the beginning is good, but the title sequence is so cheesy, like a TV movie) ...
I will probably post another scene later today. This is another cool movie that is not available on DVD. I always find that very annoying.
Edit ... here is another scene where the killer in the movie takes the game way too far ...
Here's a battle scene from the English version of Lost Odyssey that will be available to purchase in one week, I think. This scene makes it look even more like a Final Fantasy game, and it looks like you can really do a lot of different stuff during battles so that will be cool. I got this video form Gametrailers.com.
