20 Greatest Video Game Movie Moments EVER

5. Sonic Vs. Robotnik - Sonic The Hedgehog

Mortal Kombat
Paramount Pictures

The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie may have had way too much Olive Garden product placement, but it worked where it mattered most, and totally delivered on the promises of some mile-a-second action sequences.

The final battle in particular between Sonic (Ben Schwartz) and Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) was a sure riot, with Sonic frantically outrunning Robotnik's artillery barrage.

The hero and villain then race all over the planet before getting back to Green Hills, Montana where it all started, and after being gravely wounded, Sonic uses his electrified super-speed to defeat Robotnik and banish him to a bizarre mushroom planet.

This scene more than any other in the movie nailed the principle of "gotta go fast" that's integral to understanding who Sonic is as a character.
