Geekery: New ‘Guns Akimbo’ Clip – Bazooka vs. Giant Tiger Slippers

The movie’s premise is simple: a game dev named Miles messes with the wrong people, the bolt guns onto his hands, and he is forced to star in a live-streamed deathmatch. The details are bonkers. If you like Happy, The Boys, Mortal Kombat, The Purge, and/or Doom Patrol this may be for you.

Nerdy video game developer is a little too fond of stirring things up on the internet with his caustic, prodding, and antagonizing comments. One night, he makes the mistake of drunkenly dropping an inflammatory barb on a broadcast of Skizm, an illegal death-match fight club streamed live to the public. In response, Riktor, the maniacal mastermind behind the channel, decides to force Miles’ hand (or hands, as it were) and have him join the “fun.” Miles wakes to find heavy pistols bolted into his bones, and learns Nix, the trigger-happy star of Skizm, is his first opponent.

Apparently this is one of the more tame scenes…

 

The cast is led by Daniel Radcliffe and includes Ned Dennehy, and Samara Weaving. The story is from Jason Lei Howden, who is also the director. His first full length, Deathgasm, is a bunch of ridiculous fun. I’m expecting more of that with better effects and bigger names with this movie.
