** Plans for a Duke Nukem movie were in the works since the late 90s with Laurence Kasanoff's company Creator/ThresholdEntertainment producing it but those plans fell through. A film by Film/MaxPayne producer Scott Faye was also considered. At one point Creator/MichaelBay was in considerations to direct the film with Wrestling/JohnCena cast to play Duke, Yes this is true!!! Although in a 2017 IGN interview with Creator/GearboxSoftware CEO Randy Pitchford hinting that a Duke Nukem film [[DevelopmentHell is still in the works]].

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame: Not to be confused with the radiation-centric villain of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''. The first game was briefly renamed "Duke Nuk'''u'''m" out of concerns of possible trademark conflict, though Apogee switched back as soon as they realized it wouldn't actually be a problem.
