    I am being completely honest when I say I would want Jack Black in a Pitfall movie based on the game. Jack Black was in the games commercials, so it would be a nice way to round that off.

      I’m gonna play it again. Thanks for reminding me. It’s been decades since I last beat it so I don’t remember any of the answers to the puzzles. I can go into fresh.

    The common word “PITFALL” is hundreds of years old. Originates from about the 14th century. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A VIDEO GAME FROM 80S.

      …

      because pitfall is a normal word and this movie wasnt about the game.

      neither was the 2017 , 1962, or 1948 movie

    man was it satisfying to get the treasures in that game. hopping on gators swinging on vines to get a diamond ring.
    it was glorious for early 80s.

      no, not the atari game. a random movie that came out last year with the same name. a movie kn 2017, 2962 and 1948 also used this title… because its a word.

      this has to be hollywoods longest trend, no? We’ve been having 80s/90s stuff since like the early 00s. I mean hell they just released Mortal Kombat II last weekend. and they’ve been consistently making Transformers movies since 2006.
