Mr. Payback (1995) clips

Mr. Payback was billed as the world's first "interactive movie". It was written by Bob Gale and starred Billy Warlock. This was not a product for a videogame system, but actually released to a few movie theaters around the country which specially equipped one of their small auditoriums with 3-button joysticks on each seat. It used technology provided by the company Interfilm which ran the movie off of 3 NTSC LaserDiscs. Learn more about the Interfilm system here:

One night I snuck one of the LaserDiscs home to see how it would act in a normal player. The video was presented in a very nonlinear format. I managed to record a couple of minutes to a Super VHS videotape. I recently found that tape, and that's what this video is from. The black slates and whatnot are directly from the disc, I did not insert them. This is all the video I have, I wish I had more.

I actually went to see this. It was a fun idea, but the movie was just too short.

[Joeredother]

@4thtroika Where did you see it?

[musicfreak1138]

you use to work at greenwood village 12 on arapahoe?

[Joeredother]

No, but I used to work at Greenwood Plaza 12 at the same location. ;)

They should release this on DVD! It should be the same controls as another movie I have on DVD called "James Spawn" where you have different choices to make.

There was another one of these called Ride for Your Life released the same year.

Someone really needs to release these on DVD, they might find a new life there.

How would this work on VHS?

And this was an awsome idea! Screw what Roger Ebert thinks.

This was actually my pick for the worst film of the 90's. This is an absolutely dreadful idea.

Check my comments in my channel for information about the Pre-January 8th version of Inception.

okay, these guys are really, really gay. "Blow me!" "Eat me, pal"

[Applemask]

Wow. This really was a load of old shit. Makes you wonder what Bob Gale contributed to Back to the Future.
