I realized my reference to the "Colossus yell" in the previous post would be lost on the 3 people who read this thing and don't know about it already, so here goes.
A few years ago in Athens, Ohio I was leaving my favorite booze hole, Tony's, when I encountered probably 10 to 15 dudes sitting outside the bar imitating X-Man Colossus's mutant power from the X-Men arcade game.
Here it is in action(Colossus is the metallic guy going "AARRRRRRGGHHHH" and emitting an energy ball):
I will always remember how proud I was to be cool enough to be in on those guys' strange performance art. That arcade game was usually the crown jewel of any movie theater arcade lineup, and every kid worth anything loved playing it. Unless they wanted to play as Dazzler; that character really sucked.
Check out a good post on the game here.
More videos here. Also, in this compilation youtube from the game, you can catch some of the ridiculous Japanese to English errors, especially Magneto's hilarious threats starting at 6:20:
X-Men come to die! Death! Kill you! You shall meet with my wrath!
One more thing: Why was it acceptable to make the sentinels the same size as the X-Men. Even casual X-Men fan know that the sentinels are multiple stories high? When will the world make sense?
