I Know Kung-Faux

Contrary to common wisdom, you don't have to visit a parallel universe to witness Ted 'Theodore' Logan playing Jonathan Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula. It truly-really-genuinely happened back in 1992 and performed pretty well at the box office. Produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola believe it or not.

A year later, Keanu was further immortalised in pixels courtesy of Psygnosis. First in a platform game for the SNES and SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis and once again in 1994, allowing Amiga owners to indulge their bloodlust too.

I gingerly crack open the musty crypt to take a peek at them all, paying special attention to the Amiga incarnation, linking its key elements to their movie-based corollaries.
