Rampage is a 2018 Science Fiction Giant monster Action movie directed by Brad Peyton (of San Andreas fame), co-written by Ryan Condal, Ryan Engle, Carlton Cuse and Adam Sztykiel, produced by New Line Cinema, distributed by Warner Bros., and adapted from the video game series of the same name.The plot concerns Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson), a primatologist and the head of a Rwanda-based anti-poaching unit noted for his close companionship with George, an albino silverback gorilla he raised from a young age. One night a strange device falls from the sky into George's enclosure, and by the next day the gorilla begins experiencing drastic increases in both size and aggression. It was actually a conspiracy made by an evil corporation called Energyne, whose CEO, Claire Wyden (Malin Ã…kerman), is planning to cause destruction with the use of mutant animals. Agent Russell (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a member of a nebulous government agency, arrives and takes George into custody, but the now-giant ape crashes the transport jet, as concurrently a grey wolf dubbed Ralph from an animal preserve and an American crocodile dubbed Lizzie from the Everglades undergo similar mutations and the three beasts embark on a cross-country rampage. Okoye teams up with rogue geneticist Dr. Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to find a cure to the mysterious mutagen, not only to end the three monsters' rampage but to save George from being killed by the military.Plans for a film adaptation of the video-game series began in 2009, following Warner Bros' purchase of Midway Games's franchises. In 2011, New Line Cinema announced they would be developing the movie with John Rickard to direct, although he eventually left when the film became stuck in Development Hell. In 2015, Dwayne Johnson signed on as the film's lead and Brad Peyton was attached as both the director and a producer.

Miracle-Gro Monster: George is an albino gorilla mutated to gigantic proportions. Rather than a werewolf-like monster, Ralph is a gigantic wolf with porcupine-like quills and gliding membranes. Then there's Lizzie, a crocodile who grows even bigger than both while also getting Spikes of Villainy and gills.

Trailers Always Spoil: There is a shot of George rearing up on the helicopter atop the Willis Tower, which immediately precedes him devouring Claire. Lizzie herself, who actually isn't seen in full until the climax. Of course, the suspense is completely lost on what she looks like, as the trailers (and toys) already overused her screentime and revealed her design. Ralph being able to fly.

Darker and Edgier: The original games can best be described as campy, tongue-in-cheek parodies of kaiju movies. This film serves as a more straightforward kaiju flick that takes the idea of giant mutated animals much more seriously, although the end result is still pretty fun and goofy.

The Worf Effect
 Rampage (2018) / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Early in the movie, as George starts growing, he breaks into the grizzly bear habitat in the zoo and kills its inhabitant. Ralph inflicts this effect on the mercenaries lead by Burke. Claire talks them up as a bunch of really tough badasses, but they don't stand a chance. Ralph himself is killed off by Lizzie well before the climax, and she takes over the role as the main antagonist, trying to eat Okoye and kill George.

Artistic License – Biology
 Rampage (2018) / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Mutagen or not, the three creatures couldn't simply have gotten so big unless they consumed a lot of additional mass (this is only slightly mentioned, as Ralph cannibalizes his fellow wolves and a whole squad of hunters, Lizzie attacks a few boats, and George is shown crying in hunger). Also, while their size is a little more plausible than skyscraper-high kaiju, they are still way too big to support their weight while retaining their original build (they'd have to have much thicker limbs and stockier bodies.) George and Lizzie indeed do have much thicker, more pillar-like limbs to be more able to support their weight, as well as George being quadrupedal to support his weight. Ralph on the other hand, has the skinny build and agility of a normal-sized wolf, even though he is now a hundred times bigger and should display the same lumbering weight that George and Lizzie do.

Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer made the film out to be a serious monster flick. The end result is a lot more over the top, though nowhere near as goofy as the games. The way some of the trailers are cut they seem to hint at Agent Russel being one of the main human antagonists. In fact he turns out to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and one of the protagonists' most useful allies.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: The woman in the red dress in the game is just a helpless victim. Claire Wyden, her counterpart in the film is the Big Bad. Ralph and Lizzie also get this too, in a meta sense. In their original versions, they were Villain Protagonists whose destructive acts were encouraged by the game. The movie's versions of them, on the other hand, drop the "protagonist" aspect altogether and turns them into straight-up villains. Their personalities haven't changed, but they're portrayed much less sympathetically in the movie.

Mythology Gag: In a strange case of Breaking the Fourth Wall, the Big Bad has a Rampage arcade machine in her office. When George eats Claire, she's wearing a bright red dress which is similar to the one the woman in the Rampage game wears that's worth more than other humans that are eaten by him. Rather appropriate, George is always the one seen holding her on the boxart. The giant rat seen in the beginning of the movie calls back to Larry, the fourth monster added in the Atari Lynx version of the original game, as well as Curtis, a giant rat featured in Rampage 2: Universal Tour, and Rhett, another giant rat featured in Rampage: Total Destruction. The monsters collectively succeed in toppling down one large skyscraper in the trailers, much like they would in the video games. It was only because this was the Energyne building transmitting the radio signal that brought them all there in the first place, after they get up from the debris they immediately turn on each other. The monsters turning on each other is a gameplay factor in all the Rampage games — you can either team up, or just kick the shit out of the next player. Ralph is the first monster to kick the bucket, allowing for George and Lizzie to duke it out in the climax. Ralph was the one who was Adapted Out of the original game's NES port. Energyne is essentially ScumLabs in all but name — bizarre genetic experiments whose leakage results in rampaging monsters, CEOs who are either black holes of evil or idiotic manchildren, and being the target of the monsters' wrath. You can catch a glimpse of George grabbing people out of buildings he's climbing and devouring them, just like in the games. Ralph's ability to glide with flying squirrel-like wings might be a reference to how the monsters in the games were capable of gliding by flapping their arms.

Mauve Shirt: The female astronaut in the opening. Thought she'd survive? No. The mercenary group that Wyden tasked with recovering Ralph. They all have quite a bit of personality and it seems like they will play larger roles in the film. Their main reason to exist is to show that even fully prepared mercenaries with an order to kill don't stand up against Ralph.

 Rampage (2018) / int_2e528f4e
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Contrary to George, who is treated as a sympathetic character, Ralph and Lizzie are portrayed as bloodthirsty monsters, and their spikier, more mutated appearances reflect this. As such, while the nicer-looking George is eventually redeemed, the other two more hideous creatures are killed in the end.

Even Evil Has Standards: Brett, whether due to cowardice or cautiousness or any other reason, absolutely refuses to let Claire “liquidate� Kate for the longest time, and only succumbed to his sister’s insistence on her plan of driving George berserk in order to crash the plane he was on (and kill Davis, Kate, and Russell in the process) when Brett became afraid that there was now a real risk of him going to jail himself.

Actor Allusion: Possibly in the case of Agent Russel, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. When he enters the scene, he is whistling, much he does as Negan in The Walking Dead. Near the end of the scene, he also says "he is deeply sorry", which he also said during his first appearance in the same show. He also swears frequently, something Negan is well known for doing.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Rampage (2018) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Evidence that you've been conducting illegal research means the FBI comes knocking with a search warrant. Unlike most depictions of "miracle cures", George's antidote doesn't take effect in an instant. He rampages on for a few moments, knocking down the Willis Tower, before he ultimately calms down. The three monsters' growth is justified in the large quantities of food they eat: they gain additional mass through the serum's effect of increased hunger, as Ralph doubles in size after devouring busloads of tourists at Mount Rushmore, while Lizzie attacks several boats before being attracted by Claire's signal. George, the smallest of the three, didn't grow as much as he was confined for most of the film and doesn't consume as much food (he does grow exponentially after escaping from the crashed plane and devouring a squad of soldiers. People aren't going to just leave helicopter keys in the ignition.

Adaptational Heroism: George. In the games he was perfectly willing to destroy cities and eat civilians just for fun, here, however, his aggression and destructive nature is simply a result of his mutation that he can’t control, and when he gets back to normal he fights against the other monsters to save the city.

Family-Unfriendly Violence: The film actually packs a lot of surprisingly gory moments involving humans killed by monsters, with severed body parts and even a bisected torso being shown mostly onscreen.

Militaries Are Useless
 Rampage (2018) / int_68148dc
comment
Militaries Are Useless: Led by an arrogant, pompous colonel who believes in "Shoot first, ask questions later", the military does even more damage than good by shooting and attacking the monsters because it only makes them angry and retaliate, thus causing more destruction than had they been left alone. The military's conventional weapons (firearms, tanks, missiles and rockets) all have no effect on the animals.

Artistic License – Military: Somehow they manage to shove a MOAB into a B-2 Spirit bomber when the actual MOAB is so large it can only be dropped from a C-130 Hercules transport by shoving it out the back hatch. They also overstate it's firepower quite substantially. While the MOAB is large, it creates the equivalent of 11 tons of TNT in explosive force, that is not nearly enough to level most of the city, as described in the movie.

comment
Adaptational Badass: In the original game, the military could defeat the monsters, albeit with a lot of shots usually from jets and giant robots, with the infantry and lighter vehicles being little more than an extra thing to smash. In this movie, nothing the military does can do the monsters lasting damage thanks to their durability combined with regeneration. Lizzie is the most dangerous and biggest of the three monsters while they were all roughly equal in strength in the games. In addition, Lizzie can get her health damaged by bombs in the games, as while in the movie nothing Davis throws at Lizzie works to take her down.

Artistic License – Animal Care: Claire keeping a lone pet rat is either this or Bad People Abuse Animals, as rats are hypersocial and need companions of their own kind. Looking a gorilla in the eye is actually a really bad idea. Even if they know you, they see that as a challenge. Likewise, they don't smile, so much as they show teeth. Obviously that happens here because of the Serkis Folk aspect of the film, but still.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Literally with Claire’s pet black rat. We see Russell hand its cage over to a soldier in exchange for a satellite phone and we never learn what happened to it afterwards, though presumably the soldier did take care of it, considering it was directly given to him by a commanding officer. Davis's primatology team (Nelson, Connor, and Amy), who appear pretty prominently for the first 20 or so minutes, disappear altogether as soon as George is captured by the government.

Ralph and Lizzie also get this too, in a meta sense. In their original versions, they were Villain Protagonists whose destructive acts were encouraged by the game. The movie's versions of them, on the other hand, drop the "protagonist" aspect altogether and turns them into straight-up villains. Their personalities haven't changed, but they're portrayed much less sympathetically in the movie.

Harmless Villain: Brett Wyden is simply incompetent at anything he does, and it's pretty clear from the first scene that his sister Claire is the real brain and brawn behind all their evil schemes. He panics a lot when things don't go his way, doesn't have the courage to pull the trigger once he and Claire have Okoye and Kate at gunpoint, and immediately bails on his sister when the situation gets too hot to handle. Doesn't quite save him from the Karmic Death, though.

Literal Metaphor: The antidote, nicknamed the "chill pill," works on several levels: It cures subjects afflicted with the mutagen of the heightened aggression side-effect, meaning it's a drug that literally calms them down. It's stored in a vat of liquid nitrogen, so it's literally chilled. It's administered orally, like an actual pill, as Claire would later discover.

comment
Karmic Death: Claire Wyden financed the research that led to the monsters, specifically asking for bellic applications instead of health ones; adequately, she ends up eaten by George. Implied to be the fate of the poachers who killed George's mother, as Davis explains he shot them in retaliation and, unlike the poachers, he didn't miss.

Defiant to the End: The moment Burke knows he's perfectly screwed because Ralph has killed all of his men and he feels a *Drool* Hello falling on his shoulder, he tightens his grip on his assault rifle and gets ready to turn around and shoot even as he's being eaten. Ralph is much faster on the draw, on in his case bite.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Energyne has developed genetic editing to such a point where they can edit every single cell in a grown organism and implant them with highly complex new functions. Curing any kind of cancer, any and all chronic virus infections, any and all genetic diseases and repairing most types of organ failure would be MUCH easier with this tech than creating these kinds of composite monsters. Immortality treatments and super doping would be harder, but still easy compared to transferring complex traits between species. One really has to wonder what caused Claire and Brett to go into the monster making business, when following Kate's line of research could likely have made them the richest individuals to have ever existed. And probably immortal at that.

 Rampage (2018) / int_a3458bf2
comment
More Deadly Than the Male: Lizzie appears to be much bigger and imposing than either Ralph or George. It's given a nod that her mutation is stronger; Lizzie ate her container. George was sprayed by a container after agitating it, and Ralph was easily scared off after inhaling a small amount of the gas that was leaking out. Between siblings Brett and Claire, Claire is definitely the worse of the pair, since Brett at least had some lines he was unwilling to cross, at least not at first.

Adaptation Dye-Job: George has gone from being a brown gorilla to an albino one, partly to differentiate him from King Kong (who just had his own film come out the year before) and partly so that any wounds he receives will be more visible, emphasizing his relative vulnerability and making us worry that he might not survive the movie. Curiously enough, while he has a more exotic color, the other monsters are given more realistic colors with Ralph going from blue to brown and Lizzie going from vibrant green to a duller shade of green; wounds they receive are less noticeable, therefore, making the more villainous monsters seem invulnerable.

Healing Factor: All of the animals get them when mutated, and survive multiple artillery attacks. The "chill pill" does not cancel this out. There are still injuries that will unequivocally kill them. The rebar on which George was impaled missed his spine and his heart, so the moment the battle was over he began to heal.

Rule of Three: Davis mentions things that are inappropriate in front of ladies: Davis admonishes the intern zookeeper that discussing poaching is rude in front of ladies. The other intern, who is a woman, says she's not offended, but Davis indicates the gorillas. When the military tries to stop him from stealing a helicopter, Davis warns them to avoid the macho posturing or one will get choked so hard he'll urinate himself in front of the lady (Kate). Lastly, when George asks if Caldwell is one of Davis' troop, he asks, rather crudely, if that means they'll be mating. Davis protests, "Not in front of the lady!"

Giant Equals Invincible: Zigzagged. While the monsters do repeatedly shrug off every weapon that the humans use against them, they're not actually immune to damage from those weapons. One of the abilities they gain from the mutagen is a Healing Factor that gets progressively stronger as they continuously grow bigger. By the time they reach kaiju size in the climax, their injuries are healing within seconds, allowing them to effectively No-Sell anything short of a MOAB (or each other).

Internal Homage: There is a Rampage arcade game in the Wydens' office. Given that their project is called Project Rampage, there's a good chance that, in-universe, they might have taken the name for it from the game, or perhaps it was simply an Easter egg and not meant to serve any in-universe purpose. Claire's death homages the title screen from the original arcade game, with George grabbing and eating a woman in a red dress. The giant rat in the Action Prologue, as well as Claire's pet rat, could both be taken as references to the giant rat character Larry, from the Atari Lynx version of the original game, and possibly also Curtis, another rat character from Rampage 2.

Fun with Acronyms
 Rampage (2018) / int_c25c7890
comment
Fun with Acronyms: CRISPR is the gene editing tech that made Project Rampage possible. The acronym is not stated in the film.note Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats OGA on the other hand, as observed by Davis, stands for "Other Government Agency" as a way to avoid identifying themselves and to use and abuse their authority because no one knows to whom they answer.

Shout-Out
 Rampage (2018) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several, mostly to other kaiju films from the '50s to '70s. Ralph's gliding ability closely recalls Varan, the Unbelievable. Lizzie resembles Godzilla's old colleague Anguirus in several scenes, and Godzilla's botanical foe Biollante. Possibly unintentionally but George, a giant ape, Flipping the Bird resembles the titular monster from A*P*E, a King Kong knock off, infamously doing the same. Kong: Skull Island A shot in the finale where George leaps up behind Lizzie and whacks her head with a chunk of rubble is very similar to a scene in the film where Kong dunks a boulder on the Alpha Skullcrawler's face. Lizzie also has teeth in her throat, much like the Skullcrawlers in that film. Russell sees a lot of holes in Okoye's records and calls him an "international man of mystery". When asking Agent Russell to reveal which government agency he's with, Kate sarcastically adds, "Justice League". George kills Lizzie with a rebar in a manner similar to Saint George.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Russell seems like a Smug Snake, but when the chips are down he proves to be one of Davis' most valuable allies. Colonel Blake is a downplayed example: while we may not agree with his every decision and he butts heads with the heroes a few times, he's still written as a basically good-hearted guy who is just trying to protect the city. When George calms down after taking the "chill pill", Blake accepts that the big ape is no longer a threat.

They Would Cut You Up: Part of the reason Davis had to adopt George, rather than leaving him out in the wild. As an albino gorilla - especially rare and valuable to poachers - he wouldn't stand a chance. Likewise, when Agent Russell's crew carry George away, Davis is terrified of this happening again.

Tragic Monster: George, normally a good-natured if somewhat mischievous creature, becomes violent and dangerous as the pathogen alters his brain chemistry. Davis' motivation for most of the movie is to somehow save and cure him. To a lesser extent it also applies to Ralph and Lizzie who were simply animals minding their own business when they where infected with the mutagen like George.

Hate Sink: Claire Wyden can be this for being manipulative, cruel and cold-hearted. It's bad enough she sets up the monsters so the military will kill them and enable her to dissect the animals' corpses. But it's worse once you learn she fired Caldwell when the latter suspected her research to help cure her ailing brother was being exploited as a weapon. Not to mention she fibs to the FBI that Caldwell is a criminal who stole her company's secrets. And then later, she twists the knife by sarcastically telling Caldwell she's "sorry" about her brother's death. To top off her deplorable deeds, she shoots Okoye in cold blood without batting an eyelash. note Thank goodness her aim with a gun is terrible.

Product Placement
 Rampage (2018) / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: Davis sends Kate for help in a Hummer. One of the screens Claire is using to monitor the situation with the rampaging monsters is a Twitter feed on their platform, Tweet Deck. At least once Brett is seen munching away on a Kellogg's Pop Tart. A Dave & Buster's gets conspicuously destroyed by George once he's inside Chicago. As gratitude for featuring their brand in the film, Dave & Buster's promoted this film and even installed a Rampage game in their locations; it's not the old Rampage game, it's a new one with the monsters designed to look as they appear in the movie. One of the military personnel in the Colonel's office is seen wearing a headset with a very visible Bose logo.

Mix-and-Match Critters
 Rampage (2018) / int_f5eda11
comment
Mix-and-Match Critters: Ralph is a wolf with bat ears, porcupine quills and flying squirrel membranes, while Lizzie is a crocodile with boar tusks, fish gills and gecko toes, as well as pangolin-like armor and a spiked tail club. George is the odd one out, as he's basically just an albino King Kong. Technically speaking though, due to the genetic editing, this trope applies to all three, since they're also imbued with the indeterminate growth of a great white shark, the growth rate of a blue whale, the strength of a rhinoceros beetle, the speed of a cheetah, the tissue regeneration of an African spiny mouse...

The World's Expert (on Getting Killed): Burke and his team of mercenaries are mentioned to have had plenty of experience in the field, well-equipped, and have had to clean up several of Energyne's messes. Ralph quickly dispatches all of them.

Adaptational Nonsapience
 Rampage (2018) / int_fe2f2fc
comment
Adaptational Nonsapience: Besides being changed to standard mutated animals, the monsters have been changed to look less anthropomorphic: George is fully bipedal in the games, but here he knuckle-walks like a regular gorilla. Ralph is a giant werewolf in the games, so naturally he stomps around on his hind legs like a human. Since he's a mutated wolf in this film, he's on all fours. Lizzie is quadrupedal as a regular crocodile, while in the games, she walked on hind legs. This change might have been made to ensure Lizzie doesn't parody Godzilla as much as the games did.

Pet the Dog: Our first indicator that Agent Russell isn't so bad is that he tells Davis he's truly sorry for what's happening to George.

comment
Shown Their Work: Even as giant rampaging monsters, the behaviors and movements of George, Lizzie and Ralph are actually rather realistic for their species. When Ralph is caught in Lizzie's jaws, she does a death roll to tear his head off, something real crocodilians do to rip body parts off their food.
