Team Awesome, the same group that put together the fictitious <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/06/11/the-short-cuts-entry-that-better-freaking-win/">Punch-Out!! trailer</a></em> for Nintendo's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/shortcuts">Short Cuts Showcase</a> contest, created this ultra-macho masterpiece as an homage to <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Contra/">Contra</a></em>. The production parodies not only the original NES game, but 80s action films like <em>Predator</em>, <em>Aliens</em>, <em>Rambo: First Blood</em>, and other indisputable classics. Pretty much, if it was rad and from the 80s, then it's somewhere in this trailer.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/01/contra-movie-coming-to-alternate-universe-theaters-in-1988/">Contra movie coming to alternate-universe theaters in 1988</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 01 Nov 2007 19:30:00 EST.
