Mega Man (film)

In 2010, a full-length fan film by Eddie Lebron was released depicting the events of the first Mega Man game.

In the year 20XX, Nobel Prize winning roboticist Dr. Light unveils to the public his new DRN series of Robot Masters in a televised interview, designed for commercial use in hazardous environments for the betterment of mankind. Off-camera, he also reveals his robot daughter Roll. Unfortunately, all is not well. Dr. Wily, colleague and equal partner of Dr. Light has always been thirsty for recognition, which he never receives. Already frustrated being rebuffed by the interviewer, Dr. Light reveals his intent to build a new android son, and not to include Wily in its design. Already jealous of Light's successes, he sees this as Dr. Light's attempt to cut him out completely.

Enraged, he proceeds to come up with a plan to steal the Robot Masters and wreak havoc.

You know, like in the game.

Meanwhile, Dr. Light and Roll complete the new android, Rock, who is unsure of his purpose in life. During his soul searching, Dr. Wily steals the Robot Masters and sets them loose on the city. At that point, Rock realizes what his purpose is, and offers to to be converted into a war machine to stop the robot rampage and Wily.

This film contains examples of:
"Wily: MINE'S BETTER THAN YOURS IS!"
 * Adult Child: Wily has moments of this, being very petty at times.


 * Always Someone Better: Dr. Wily's main motivation is getting overshadowed by Dr. Light. Constantly.
 * Apologetic Attacker: "I don't want to resort to force!" ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP
 * Arrogant Kung Fu Guy: Elec Man.
 * Asian Gal With White Guy: Mrs. Light.
 * Attention Whore: Dr. Wily.
 * Ax Crazy: Bomb Man.
 * Badass: Blues.
 * Big Damn Heroes.
 * Blatant Lies: Dr. Light insisting that the spectacularly deadly Robot Masters have plenty of non-destructive uses despite not coming up with a single one for the one that excretes bombs.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: The Robot Masters.
 * Canon Foreigner: The inhabitants of the city, and Wily's talking AI, Olga 5000.
 * Chekhov's Gun: Several, including the teleportation system and, and the fact that there are two prototype armors.
 * Cheerful Child: Roll's perpetual mood.
 * Conservation of Ninjutsu: Mega Man vs. all six Robot Masters? He forces them to retreat. Mega Man vs. Elecman? He almost dies.
 * Continuity Porn: It references the original games, the instruction manuals, the Mega Man cartoon, and Mega Man Powered Up.
 * Cool Old Guy: Dr. Light.
 * Cool Shades: Blues, even without his armor.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: The fights tend to be over with a quickness, one way or the other.
 * Darker and Edgier: Considerably more so than the games it is based on. This film is quite serious and dramatic, and has some rather dark and depressing moments. Not to mention the considerably brutal nature of some of the fights.
 * Dull Surprise: Dr. Light and Mega Man's perpetual mood.
 * Dying As Yourself:.
 * Elemental Rock Paper Scissors: Dr. Light brings this up when Mega Man gets his first Robot Master power.
 * Eleventh Hour Superpower: In order to win the day,
 * Evil Is Petty: Wily.
 * Evil Twin: Mega Man faces one, but unlike the game, it doesn't put up much of a fight.
 * Fan Film: It's not perfect, but it's one of the better ones.
 * Gonk: Wily, with his constant sweating, forehead acne and bad teeth.
 * Golden Snitch: The Robot Master ruse was... a DISTRACTION. Wily HAS
 * Green Eyed Monster: Wily. Oh, so much.
 * Headshots Kill Robots:
 * I Just Want to Be Special: Mega Man pines for a purpose in life beyond being a scientific curiosity. What's this, a robot invasion? Good thing that plasma buster came in his size.
 * Its Personal: Said when.
 * Just a Stupid Accent: Like his cartoon self, Wily has a German accent. Where he's from is never elaborated on.
 * Outbursts like "What a schmuck!" also make him Ambiguously Jewish.
 * ...Or possibly just German, as Yiddish is a hybrid language that comes from German and Aramaic.
 * Whatever the case, it makes him sound like Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
 * Knight Templar: Fire Man.
 * Lampshade Hanging: At one point Roll asks Rock if she thinks her hair looks fake. Rock almost says what every viewer is thinking but is saved by a timely news report.
 * Large Ham: Dr. Wily.
 * Mega Manning: Duh
 * Motive Rant: Wily gives one.
 * My God What Have I Done: Of all people,
 * Mythology Gag: Elec Man's and the Yellow Devil's thrashing of Mega Man is likely a nod to their statuses as That One Boss.
 * New York Doubling: For "Fujiwara City".
 * No Endor Holocaust:.
 * No one seems to fear the attacks from the robots. Everyone seems rather calm. True, it's not like they could hire a bunch of extras to run around pretending to get shot at by robots, but traffic just sort of flows around Bomb Man and Gutsman almost like they weren't there...
 * Well, it looks like it was filmed in New York, so...it's just the regular state of New Yorkers to not give a damn, be it robots or what have you.
 * Obviously Evil: Guess.
 * Off the Shelf FX: Mega Man and the more human Robot Masters are armored up with motorcycle pads and helmets.
 * Orcus On His Throne: The Robot Masters seem rather content to stand around shooting their weapons at their surroundings without actually hitting anything or anyone. Justified, but you'd think they'd be a little more aggressive about it, Fireman in particular.
 * Posthumous Character:.
 * Precision F Strike: Wily gets a few.
 * Replacement Goldfish:
 * There's also the implication that Roll may be  while Rock and Blues are   Wily explicitly tells Roll that she was made
 * The motivations are likely a nod to Mega Man's source material.
 * Ridiculously Human Robots: Mega Man and co. seem more like Reploids, as they have senses of pain, taste, etc. But not "free will" apparently...even though there really isn't any visible difference between Rock and Blues' behaviour.
 * Fridge Logic kicks in though when you realize Rock and Blues act similiar because Rock isn't given any programmed purpose, and was built by Dr. Light to "live" any way he wants. He only mimics free will but could probably easily have it taken away if someone hacked into his brain. Also, during his first moments he's constantly trying to find what he was built for or his "purpose", he's trying to find his programming so he can execute it, just like a real robot.
 * Ring Ring CRUNCH: Rock punches out a special, pyramidal alarm clock the first day he wakes up.
 * Robot Girl: Roll, natch.
 * Rule of Cool:.
 * Sequel Hook: The last shot is oddly similar to the intro of Mega Man 2, and they've shown interest in making a sequel.
 * Shout Out: To The Protomen, with Sniper Joes being described as the first androids Light and Wily created.
 * At least half of the robot masters have their silly personality quirks from Mega Man Powered Up. Ice Man's split personality, Fire Man's rants about justice, and Cut Man's belief that Mega Man is the real bad robot.
 * And Elec Man's arrogance is very similar to another version of Elec Man. The director/writer/etc. has said he was a fan of Bob and George, so this isn't too far fetched.
 * Light and Rock's first conversation ("Are you my father?" "In a sense.") is taken from the cartoon.
 * Ice Man uses a "frost slide" to get around like a certain other Iceman.
 * Mega Man plays Contra and loses badly.
 * Dr. Light's computer has a picture of Solid Snake drawn in the ''Metal Gear Awesome style.
 * Split Personality: Ice Man.
 * Stealth Pun: The first thing Wily says when Mega Man appears is, "What in the blue hell?"
 * Teleport Spam: Near the end of the movie, the teleporter is straight up abused in combat.
 * The Worf Effect: Elecman and the Yellow Devil both thrash Mega Man,.
 * Later, can't land a hit on Mega Man despite Wily bragging about it earlier.
 * Writers Block: Dr. Wily takes a long time to come up with a revenge scheme at first.
