Man, I hadn't thought of tis movie in a while. It's cemented in my head unfortunately because It was the first movie I saw after my Dad died. I had no idea it had all these names in it cause I guess I was 8 last time I saw it, and also had no remembrance of all the level of Nazi stuff in it.

I too recently learned Danny Bilson was Rachel Bilson's dad and found it really weird since I feel like I heard so much about Danny Bilson in 2010s Giant Bomb. Fun fact, Rachel Bilson and her sister ended up doing voices for the game Devil's Third because THQ put it out

It was alluded to, but I do wonder if there is a stream in replaying the NES games based on this spate of movies. Dick Tracy, Darkman, Rocketeer, and Batman 89 all had tie in games. I did enjoy Rocketeer but maybe that was being a kid and Nintendo Power making it seem better (and a cheese strat to level up/ammo up or something early and make the rest easier). I did dabble with Darkman the other day and they do have a light-gun like "take photos of your target" segments that how well you do determines how long you can be their disguise in the next level (which somehow determines what weapons you can use)
