Crossed is a French Web Video series hosted by Karim Debbache, that ran from February 2013 to April 2014. The topic is simple: films that are either adapted from video games, or are about video games. They can be old or not so old, bad, good or okay, but Karim has a lot of things to say on every one of them, and only 10-15 minutes to say them. While the tone is humoristic and often sarcastic, it is usually peppered with detailed analyses of what did and did not work in said film, as well as comments on its (or its director's) history, or on cinematic techniques in general.Little sketches often intervene, featuring his two sidekicks Gilles Stella (the show's image and sound manager) and Jérémy Morvan, or Kamel Debbiche, a double of him who is implied to be his second personalitynote However, Chroma reveals that he's actually an Alternate Self.. The show is pretty fast-paced, and often draws its humour from it. Crossed's run wasn't very long, as Karim hadn't planned on making more than 25-30 episodes, to avoid a situation where he would have always been repeating the same things after a while.However, in January of 2016, Karim and his friends started a new show, Chroma, that can be considered a Spiritual Successor to Crossed minus the video game topic, with longer episodes and the analytical aspect pushed further.If you're curious but don't speak French, here's the first episode subtitled in English.Not to be confused with the Garth Ennis comic series.Movies reviewed in Crossed: Super Mario Bros. (1993) G@mer (a French film featuring Saïd Taghmaoui) Silent Hill The King of Kong House of the Dead The Last Starfighter Max Payne Stay Alive (2006) Future Cops Alone in the Dark WarGames Double Dragon (1994) Doom Street Fighter eXistenZ Postal (2007) The Lawnmower Man — known as Le Cobaye ("the Guinea Pig") in France Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Mortal Kombat: Annihilation Brainscan Resident Evil (2002) DOA: Dead or Alive The other Gamer movie ("Ultimate Game" in France) Hitman Ra.One ("Voltage" in France) The Wizard TRON Scott Pilgrim vs. The World | |

Massive Multiplayer Crossover: In the Street Fighter episode, he says that about half of the characters are useless and only there for Pandering to the Baseinvoked. He then adds that he could make movies himself with this recipe, then shows a short (barely) animated sequence featuring Son Goku, Slash, Totoro, Batman, Freddy Krueger, and ET, hanging out in the street before being arrested by Harry Callahan. | |

All Asians Know Martial Arts: Karim mentions it very-briefly during his hyper-fast enumeration of the graveyard fight scene's flaws in House Of The Dead (where the Asian girl uses her martial art skills), noting this trope is actually awfully racist. Similarly, in his review of Ra.One, he awkwardly points out that the movie's sole Chinese character is the one who knows martial arts the best. | |

Questionable Casting: In-Universe, during the Alone In The Dark review, it is how Karim reacts to Tara Reid being the archaeologist Aline Cedrac. He has the same reaction to Arielle Dombasle's casting as a game designer in G@mer. This is also how he reacted to Christopher Lambert not reprising his role as Raiden in Mortal Kombat Annihilation. Because Lambert was working on Beowulf (1999), probably the worst film of his career. | |

Accidental Misnaming | |
| Crossed (Web Video) / int_af616e40 | comment |
Kamel often gets the names of the film directors wrong, for instance he confuses Orson Welles with H. G. Wells. In one case, Karim is the one who gets the name wrong when he confuses Resident Evil's director Paul W.S. Anderson with Paul Thomas Anderson, but he blatantly does it on purpose to introduce the audience to the latter, whom he admires much more than the former. At the end of the review, he also confuses him with Wes Anderson. | |

It turns out that he left to star in a fictional film titled A Better World and the episode ends with a fake trailer of it. The film is mentioned again in the newspapers in the review of Doom, which mention that it received critical acclaim. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Crossed (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the first episode, Karim greets his audience with "okay, campers, rise and shine". In the review of Starfighter, during a scene involving a Flying Car, Karim quips that where they're going, they don't need roads. The opening of the review of Ra.One references the song Voyage, voyage by the French singer Desireless. Similarly, the opening of the review of Doom references the song Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! by Vengaboys, and the opening of the review of eXistenZ references the song Résiste by the French singer France Gall. In the latter review, he also references the song Et Vice Versa by Les Inconnus. In the review of The Lawnmower Man, when Karim explains why he chose to review it, he says "I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us... and it just popped in there". The opening of the review of G@mer is a homage to The Twilight Zone (1959). The fake behind-the-scenes segments of the review of King of Kong are a homage to The Office (US). Karim mocks a fight scene in Future Cops by playing Yakety Sax during it. To mock the constant Product Placement in The Wizard, Karim puts sunglasses on and announces the episode will switch to "Roddy Piper-vision". Karim starts a metronome before he starts watching House of the Dead in his bed, a reference to Se7en. When the first glimpse of the strange creatures in Max Payne appears, Karim "enhances" the picture to take a better look at it just like Deckard does in Blade Runner. | |

Spoiler: The reviews usually have a summary of the whole plot, including the ending. When this is a film about videogame which has a twist ending, he precedes said spoiler by a warning screen advising the viewer to stop the video here if they want to watch the movie and discover the ending by themselves. Averted in the Ra.One episode. He stopped the plot's summary in the middle of the review after stating that the movie was basically a Terminator 2: Judgment Day rip off, and that describing it any longer would just spoil the latter movie. | |

Running Gag | |
| Crossed (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag In the Mortal Kombat Annihilation review: Gilles is a big fan of Jurassic Park, and will bring it up at every opportunity. Karim is also a fan and often brings up how many years before or after it a movie with bad CGI was released. Karim calls special forces in movies "lones" since the review of Alone in the Dark and him sarcastically explaining to his French audience that the film is true to his title since "alone in the dark" translates as "lots of cops fighting monsters" in French. Kamel often gets the names of the film directors wrong, for instance he confuses Orson Welles with H. G. Wells. In one case, Karim is the one who gets the name wrong when he confuses Resident Evil's director Paul W.S. Anderson with Paul Thomas Anderson, but he blatantly does it on purpose to introduce the audience to the latter, whom he admires much more than the former. At the end of the review, he also confuses him with Wes Anderson. | |
