Production
The film was created by combining 65 minutes of original footage with 25 minutes of footage from full motion video sequences in five Digital Pictures games: Maximum Surge (unreleased), Corpse Killer, Prize Fighter, Supreme Warrior, and Quarterback Attack with Mike Ditka. The storyline connects these games as part of a game the protagonist, Steve Hunter (played by Jeffreys), must play to save the world. The villain Drexel from Maximum Surge is reimagined as a computer system created by the protagonist, with the in-game character Drexel as its virtual reality avatar; Walter Koenig portrays that avatar, but his dialogue is dubbed over by a voice actor who also voices Drexel in the real world. The real stars, Woody Jeffreys and Dominika Wolski, receive second billing behind the famous personalities appearing only in game sequences (Koenig, Bleeth, Schiavelli). Because the game footage was shot several years before the film, its quality is poorer than the rest of the movie.
