Eric’s Bad Movies: ‘Surviving the Game’ (1994)

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Before he became the worst part of the increasingly hilarious “Law & Order: SVU,” Ice-T starred in “Surviving the Game,” a “Most Dangerous Game” rip-off that is the subject of this week’s edition of Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com.

Does anyone have any memory of this film existing in the wild? I had never heard of it until someone suggested it for the column, and I was pleased to see that it fits thematically (sort of) with “The Collector,” a horror film opening this week. Now I feel like I should investigate the remainder of Ice-T’s output, since he’s so uniformly bad in everything he does.
