Shit, I keep forgetting I had that game, the controls were fucking awful. I think I only ever managed to get to level 4 once or twice. It came with my console (along 13 other games, I think, including Crash 3, Mega Man Legends and Gran Turismo)

I only watched the movie some 3 years after first playing the game, when it aired on local TV. It was weird. I also recall reading somewhere that some movie game deals were made before the movies' script was finished, so that would explain the game being completely "out of place"

    The movie is Besson-core, full of busted plot points and stupid ideas, kitsch as hell but at least made at a time when he still gave some fuck. So it was still entertaining, and I liked it back then. I mean, I got the game (on PC in my case) because of it.

    I get why it is still somewhat pop-culture relevant. Unlike most of Luc Besson's career as a producer and director since then. Most of it is seriously unwatchable. Aaand even though there were signs before, now we know he's a creepy bastard, which doesn't help enjoying his movies (but certainly explains how he treats some of his characters).
