“Resident Evil: Extinction” (2007): Las Vegas has been reclaimed by the desert following a zombie apocalypse in the third entry in this movie franchise that’s based on a series of video games. Here’s a look back at some of the others: It isn’t even the 10th - and that doesn’t include movies such as “Superman” (1978) and “San Andreas” (2015) that destroy Hoover Dam and just imply the devastation that’s coming our way. “Twisted Metal” isn’t the first Hollywood project to envision a decimated Las Vegas. He’s on a run from New San Francisco to New Chicago when he encounters Sweet Tooth and Agent Stone (Thomas Haden Church), the sadistic former mall cop who’s determined to restore law and order to what’s left of the country from his base within the Hoover Dam visitor center.
The action comedy follows John Doe (Anthony Mackie), a “milkman” who delivers packages between walled cities, for which he’s paid in gasoline and wiper blades. He’s Sweet Tooth, and he’s made the leap from the “Twisted Metal” video games to the TV series adaptation that launches Thursday on Peacock. It’s mostly down to one survivor: a burly, brutal clown who’s spent the past 20 years since the world descended into chaos driving an ice cream truck turned war machine, living in the ruins of the Monte Cristo casino and listening to “the silver-haired god” Sisqo.
