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.
Yes, I recall renting this movie one time.
I remember it coming out, but that’s why I suggested it to you!
“Tank Girl” (United Artists, 1995).
I am an English teacher in an inner city school – one of my colleagues has used clips of this movie after teaching “The Most Dangerous Game.”
Just a coincidence…the original 1934 “Most Dangerous Game” was on TCM today. I DVRed it.
I remember it coming out, and I’m pretty sure that the Deseret News critic at the time (Chris Hicks? I don’t remember) gave it 2 1/2 or 3 stars.
Why, whatever do you mean, “not good here”? Ice was the most convincing streetwise kangaroo-man EVER!

“Have you ever hunted… the ultimate prey?”
“What’s the ultimate prey?”
“Like a hobo or somethin’.”
Pfft. This has nothing on his star-making turn in Mean Guns. (Also starring Christopher Lambert!)
