Indeed, but I wish I could find the original artist so as to link.

It will never not crack me up that of all people being in outlandish over the top rolls even Tim Curry couldn't get through this and this was likely the best take.

u/fleranon 12h ago

Someone wrote in recent days that it was the very first take and Curry had just read the words for the first time, followed by lots of 'serious' takes... Everyone agreed that the first one was the funniest

I'm happy with either version.

What movie was it?

u/Jamesaliba 17h ago

The game red alert had cutscenes

u/Sir_Strumming 16h ago

Video game. Command and conquer red alert. Still holds up 30 some years later and the political commentary is still relevant (somehow)

u/Khelthuzaad 16h ago

Nah the plot was,is and remains absolutely bonkers with lots of gratification and hot women.The Allied campaign ends with us arresting the premier while he is in his underwear:))

Never take the plot seriously, well at least in Red Alert,Tiberium series tries to lean more towards a more serious approach but it has it's own campy moments.

u/Sir_Strumming 15h ago

Yea they are meant to be taken lightly. They wouldn't work as anything too serious. Imagine c&c generals taking itself seriously lol. But the stereotypes and subtle jabs are part of the fun.

2

u/Coveinant 14h ago

Specifically it is Command & Conquer Red Alert 3, with it and the expansion Uprising being the absolute best c&c games.

u/MorePhinsThyme 13h ago

I appreciate your correction...but no. RA1 and the OG are still the best (especially after the remaster).

1

u/VerbingNoun413 12h ago

Not a movie- a game. Red Alert 3.

The Command & Conquer series used live action cutscenes. In the early games they were low budget but an interesting change to rendered graphics. By the time of Red Alert 3, they were actually investing serious money.

Imagine Tim Curry, JK Simmons, and George Takei as the leaders of the USSR, US, and Japanese Empire each bringing their own flavour of ham.

I love how sped up you can clearly see how it’s taking EVERYTHING in him not to break as he delivers the line.

There was dude named Crazy Ivan, he was with dog or something... it was so long ago...

edit: I Googled it now it was the dynamite dude lol, no idea wht I remember him with dog

u/Holy_Hendrix_Batman 18h ago

That's Red Alert 2, and putting bombs on attack dogs isn't an altogether terrible tactic...

2

u/UWO_Throw_Away 13h ago

Soviet psychically dominated giant squids that grapple enemy destroyers and cruisers, countered by Allied attack dolphins who shoot sonic booms at them. What a game!

u/Jacoolh 18h ago

I think he has a dog with him in one of the cut- scenes.
