Video game movies are bigger than ever! But do you know what used to be bigger than video game movies? Movies about video games that aren't based on a real video game. We're taking a look at four starting with 1984's The Last Starfighter, on the surface a blatent Star Wars knock off (which it is) but a cut above all the other Star Wars crossovers.

The anticipation for what was to be the final Star Wars film, Revenge/Return of the Jedi was at an absolute boiling point in 1983. What was to become of Han Solo?

It's time to talk what many still consider the pinacle of Star Wars media, The Empire Strikes Back. Released three years after the first movie in 1980 it also came at a time when sequels were almost always inferior to the original. With the original trio of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia returning and George Lucas not directing but putting it all on the line to make this happen Empire was a massive success with it's darker nature and twist ending. And that green puppet man. Thanks fo...

To kick off Caravan Of Garbage in 2026 we've decided to celebrate the release of Star Wars' 49th anniversary. We're talking the original movie as it was first shown in May of 1977 with none of the Special Edition tweaks or even the addition of the title A New Hope which was added four years later. We're looking at the miracle of the movie that started it all, George Lucas' vision brought to life with the music of John Williams, special effects by ILM and the relatively unknown trio of Harrison F...

Two years after the success of the Warner Brothers Clash of the Titans reboot Sam Worthington returned to the role of Perseus for WRATH of the Titans. This time around Zeus and Hades have to content with the fact they no longer posess the power they once had in addition to Ares the God of War releasing Kronos from the underworld. And that's pretty bad because he's a big walking volcano. Thanks for watching our final Caravan of Garbage review for the year and all the support you've shown in 2025 ...

In 2010 two things were big. 3D films and Sam Worthington, both a result of Avatar from 2009. And whilst that franchise continues on Clash of the Titans (which incorporates both) acts as a time capsule of that era of film making. Also acting as a reboot of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen original movie it pits Perseus, the son of Liam Neeson's Zeus, against the Gods of Olympus including Ralph Finnes Hades who is threatening to release the Kraken on the ever increasingly disgruntled mortals of Greece.

In 2013 Disney were still looking for the next Pirates of the Caribbean so they thought, alright fine. Let's again get Johnny Depp in a dumb hat and have him run about balancing on stuff to a Hans Zimmer score in a movie directed by Gore Verbinski. Oh and I guess Armie Hammer can be there also. The result was The Lone Ranger a movie with a couple of cancelled guys and some spectacular action sequences.
