Hollywood sure does love a good video game reference, as evidenced by this remarkably thorough supercut of cinematic video game references and arcade appearances edited by Travis Greenwood and Brett Roberts for Slacktory.
You guys all remember The FP, right? A ridiculous, campy sports/action/post-apocalyptic movie centering around gang wars fought with Dance Dance Revolution?
Gamers have yet to have our own equivalent to Bull Durham, which is one of the most celebrated sports movies of all time, due to its portrayal of baseball, its players, and its fans, for those not familiar.

Dance dancing has never been so deadly. The FP is a film about a futuristic, post-apocalyptic world in which gang settle scores through Dance Dance Revolution-like gaming.
One part futuristic gang movie, one part tribute to Konami's hot-stepping rhythm game Dance Dance Revolution, The FP is a movie that's goofy and gritty enough to make it a must-see.
