Just two weeks ago, Fallout, a masterful video game adaptation, landed on Prime Video, taking us into a post-apocalyptic world full of strange characters and plenty of violence. It only took eight days for Amazon to extend the hit series for a second season.
A long dry spell is now beginning for Fallout fans. Because season 2 could take another two years to arrive. But don’t worry, because Starting today, Amazon is already delivering a crazy sci-fi replacement: The video game film adaptation Twisted Metal can finally be streamed in Germany. And it’s worth it.
Dystopian action fun for Fallout fans: That’s what Twisted Metal is all about
With Twisted Metal, US streamer Peacock adapted the game series of the same name last year, which combines racing game mechanics with shooter elements and a completely weird sci-fi dystopia. The adaptation is no less crazy, but tells its own story. It was devised by Zombieland duo Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and Cobra Kai screenwriter Michael Jonathan Smith.

Twisted metal
20 years ago, civilization collapsed because of a computer bug. People fled to walled cities and all criminals were banished to the desert wasteland. This is now from Anarchy, violence and heavily armed psychopaths controlled. In order to ensure supplies to the security zones, courageous milkmen (delivery drivers) with souped-up carts bravely go into the chaotic world of the Divided States of America.
So does the clever delivery man John Doe (Anthony Mackie), who is supposed to pick up a mysterious package in New Chicago, 2,000 miles away. John then begins the dangerous journey east and meets a trigger-happy car thief (Stephanie Beatriz). On their Road trip through the post-apocalyptic wasteland They are confronted, among other things, with cannibals, a psychotic highway police officer (Thomas Haden Church) and the ex-child star and current horror clown Sweet Tooth (originally spoken by Will Arnett).
Twisted Metal not only impresses with crazy car action, but also a mix of weird humor and bloody brutality. So the perfect alternative for the Fallout dry spell. And if that’s not enough for you: Here’s an overview of all the video game adaptations that await you up until Fallout Season 2.
