QdQ Kind words
Our movie Scourge done Slick earned itself an almost embrassing slew of praise following its release in July 1998. If you have Mission Pack #1, you need this movie.

Jagged's Quake Movie Reviews [link]

Number Two movie on Jagged's Top Ten Favourite Movies.

"This movie has it all! Awe-inspiring speed running with many twists, turns and tricks, animation that will impress the hell outa you for it's realism, camera work that will make Hollywood directors jealous, one-liners that will make Duke Nukem jealous, a cool plot that turns out to be very interesting, and so much more. Get this!

"Everything about this movie screams professional quality. The QdQ team worked their asses off for 10 months on this one, and it definately pays off. Great job!" - Jagged

Number Two rated movie on the QML.

"In the words of Jagged, "Quality, Damnit! Quality". These QDQ guys don't know when to stop, and that is definitely a good thing. Quake Done Quick started out as a simple refilmed speedrun, but is quickly maturing into a hot action movie (with no doubt some inspiration from other Quake Movie efforts). This movie is just spectacular, and I mean that sincerely. The action is intense, the humor is quite enjoyable, ("those shamblers would be late to their own funeral!") the camerawork is delicious, the "feel" is top notch, the modelling is meticulously detailed, and... well, you get the point. If you're looking for a simple recommendation in this review, the 200 should speak for itself. This review is much more of a tribute than a critique, as a critique would just consider of "See the movie already!"." - TexMurph

"The Quake Done Quick team deserve a Quake Movie Oscar. They've worked ten months on this speed run and they've completely changed the way we look at speed runs" - Psyk

"Finally got a chance to see Scourge done Slick all the way through -- this is just too amazing for words. I cannot recommend this more highly to anyone with the SoA mission pack. In fact this is a reason to get SoA if you haven't already. This is the best Quake movie ever." - Blue, Blue's News.

They go through all of the Scourge of Armagon pack in only 666 seconds, making a little movie with dialogue along the way. It includes the most impressive rocket jump I've ever seen." - Redwood, Stomped.

"Chrome Tiger here with info on THE hot movie for this summer...and guess what, it ain't gonna cost ya 12 bucks to get in, either. The 26 minute movie is Scourge done Slick, and all ya need is Quake, the Scourge of Armagon mission pack, some DL time, and sutures for afterward...because you WILL split your sides laughing. This 10-month effort is the best Quake movie I've seen since the original Quake done Quicker. Enhanced with custom dialogue & sound effects, as well as spectaular use of camera angles and effects, this one is a 'must see' for ANY quake fan, and redefines the genre of speed-run movies." - Chrome Tiger, 3D: The Body Shop
