Enter Nariko, the blade-wielding heroine of Heavenly Sword, the 2014 film you never knew existed, based on the 2007 PS3 game whose cover you definitely know. After a small production company called Blockade Entertainment attempted the impossible, to create an extremely cheap film adaptation of a dead IP, it's up to the bald bros to search through the wreckage to find out what actually happened.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the dark. Uwe claims his first outing was the scariest film he's ever made, will the sequel be just as scary? Well he isn't directing... so we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Slater said later, so follow our new hero as he takes on the supernatural in a film that bears no connection to the first film or even the game it is based on! The Bald Bros are connected though, as they watched this film hand in hand and are now sitting mere centimetres ...

Round 2... Fight! Who knew there was another Street Fighter movie?! Following the origins of Chun-Li, this preboot strips away the colourful characters, crazy casting, and escalating budget and instead replaces it with the Doom director and... not much else.
