Video game adaptations, once the bane of Hollywood, are now becoming more commonplace in movies and TV.

But one post-apocalyptic video game adaptation might have flown under your radar:Twisted Metal.

Twisted Metalbegins in an alternate timeline where society collapsed following a cyber-attack in 2002.

But they have to survive the lawless wasteland, where it seems like everything wants to kill you.

John himself is going through his own struggles,as he can’t remember his past.

The only connection he truly has is with his car, named “Evelyn”.

It saved his life as a child, and he’s never been without it.

I’m not making that up,it’s an actual scene in the show.
