If there was a movie made from Contra, they'd have to work that code into the film in some way. Maybe it could be a trick to get a finicky chopper to start up?
Remake madness continues!

Me too
I think it's going to be like a re booted Jumanji.
HA!...Just went on facebook, and one of the writers posted that he turned on the tv set last night and heard Jimmy Kimmel making fun of him for writing this, which he found both cool and obnoxious.
The money Mattel is throwing at them to make this is just insane, it's supposed to be a cross between a night at the museum and Jumunji, it's not written yet btw.
Amazing how much money is made by toy companies from their products in movies, it's actually a bigger biz than the movie itself. I think G.I. Joe sold $400M in toys worldwide after the movie came out, I forgot the numbers for Transformers but those are way bigger.

Also, I find it funny that Arnold's character is named John Matrix. Sounds like the name of some cliched space marine character from some old school shooter video game.
As for a Commando remake, it is unnecessary, as TAKEN was pretty much a modern day Commando set in Europe.
The movie they could make that could be fun would be an adaptation of the NES classic CONTRA, which was basically just a blend of Aliens, Predator, Rambo, and Commando. The picture on the front of the box is obviously depicting an Arnold and a Stallone.
One of my main goals in life is to take all of the video game adaptations away from Paul W.S. Anderson. If he slaughters another franchise, I may be wearing a Scream mask to one of his wrap parties.

Paul W.S. Anderson: Who's this? *giggle*
Scream Kholi: Do you like shi**y movies!?

I had a big sister who won the game with me at 2AM on a school night.
I remember she died against those damn little spiders leaving me to finish the game off by myself. I had one life left, we're screaming, my parents don't know what's going on, I keep jacking up the big heart thing with that fat red pellet ammunition that sprays continuously until the heart went into overload and BLAMMO! My sister is jumping up and down, we're telling our parents "We won! We won!"
Man, my mom hated that Nintendo.
