30 movies that need the Lego treatment so bad it’s wrong
10. Reservoir Dogs
Premise of the movie: If you haven’t seen Reservoir Dogs then you’re missing out. I originally thought it was going to be military based, but it focused on a group of men on a heist gone wrong. It turns into an ambush, as one of the men in the group is an undercover cop. Soon they all turn on each other, trying to figure out who is the real enemy.
Directed by Quentin Tarantino, the movie has gone down to be one of the classics, despite being released in 1992. One of the biggest benefits is that none of the guys have names. They’re known by colors, which plays into the idea of a Lego movie.
Why it needs the Lego treatment: It would be extremely easy to create a comedic version through the individual character costumes. Instead of matching the characters in the movies, the Lego characters would be dressed in their colors.
The movie was also told with two timelines, which works for the Lego world. Clips of the story of the heist gone wrong can be shown in quick succession, similarly to the way Lego Batman showed quick snippets of the variations of Batman.
A Lego version could also have fun with creating diamonds, showing Lego blood, and developing a storyline for the heist (something purposely never seen in the show). Maybe the questionable ending could even be answered.
