Can't wait to watch Wreck-It Ralph
after watching its movie trailer #2! My favourite part is when all the
'bad guys' recite their creed around the 1:56 min mark. Share with us
which is your favourite quotes/moments under the comments below!
"I am bad. And that's good.
I will never be good, and that's not bad.
There's no one I rather be, than me."
The
message seems to be telling us that despite our differences, it is
important that we accept and love who we are. Find out about the Sergeant who tell us about FEAR as a four-letter word below!
LEVEL 3: HERO’S DUTY
Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun: One Mean Space Marine
In
the sci-fi battle zone of Hero’s Duty, Sergeant Calhoun is more than
just a pretty face—she is the tough-as-nails, take-charge leader who
fights for humanity’s freedom. When she’s not offering in-game intel,
she’s training her troops for the next attack wave. This unrelenting
commander is driven by a personal vendetta and will stop at nothing to
protect the player and the arcade from a virulent Cy-Bug invasion.

Cy-Bugs: Insects Gone Bad
Menacing
creatures known as Cy-Bugs are a deadly threat to not only their game,
Hero’s Duty, but the entire arcade. They know just three things: Eat,
destroy and multiply. Players beware! Cy-Bugs can morph into anything
they eat—from an attack buggy to an assault rifle. They do have one
weakness—an attraction to bright light. (They are bugs, after all.)

General Hologram: Man with a Medal
General
Hologram is the consummate soldier: He’s bold and distinguished,
serious and professional. Tapped to stand sentinel over the ultimate
prize in Hero’s Duty - the coveted Medal of Heroes - General Hologram is
honored to bestow the Medal to anyone who is skilled enough to make it
to the top of the 99-story tower.
Do You Know?
The game companies were specific in the way how their characters were being used in the movie, Wreck-It Ralph.
In an interview with Total Film, producer Clark Spencer points out that there was lots of conversation about which character would be the
biggest character in that Bad Anon scene, even to the specifics of
centimetres and that he was fascinated that all of the companies know how tall their characters are.
"We had a scene where we wanted the rings to come out of Sonic, and SEGA
said the only way that happens is if he falls over, and we didn't have
him fall over in the scene, so we actually went back and re-animated
it." says the producer.
Also according to Disney wikia's List of cameos in Wreck-It Ralph, we have:
- Nintendo: Bowser from Super Mario Bros.
