I need help with finding a name for a movie!

[Maverick Hunter X]

When I was a kid in the 90's I once saw a movie on TV about a bunch of teenagers that competed in a Video Game contest, it took place in USA, LA if my vague memory not fails me.
I remember they played Super Mario Bros. 3 in the finals...I think but that's about it of what I know about it.
I would so much like to see it again or just find some info about it.

Anyone else here that recognize this movie with the plot and perhaps know the name of it?

Hi all!

I have also a movie that I am looking for. I watched it when I was little, and then it shocked me pretty much. I think the story was about as follows. A caucasian woman, I suspect American, is arrested in an Asian coutry, for things she did not do. She is being interrogated by a Japanese, Chinese, or in any case Asian officer for a long time, during which she is at least once being shown photos. I think I remember that she was lesbian - that might have been her 'crime', I do not remember. Also, during the interrogation, she has to endure a full body (holes) search investigation.

That was one side. The other side is that an Arabic man is arrested in the US, and is being interrogated by a female. She, among other things, makes him undress, in order to make him confess to something - what, I do not remember.

That's about all I know. Can anyone help me? Do you know which movie this was? I thank you in advance!

Ha ha it's funny that you guys brought up this old thread again.
Anyway, I got the Wizard DVD soon after my last post here in May.
