Ranger Gone Bad is a machinima film made using the Quake game engine. It was made by United Ranger Films in 1996. At the time of the film's creation, The Rangers (as they were known) were virtually the only group making movies in Quake (the term 'Quake Movies' or 'QMovies' became a common name for them).

The movie is essentially a set-up for the sequel, Ranger Gone Bad 2: Assault on Gloom Keep, as it involves a first-person view of the central character Judas walking around Gloom Keep surveying that everything is ready for the upcoming attack. It is likely that this was created as a kind of 'teaser' for the upcoming sequel.

The film inspired several parodies, most notably Ranger Gone Plaid being the first, but also Ranger Gone Mad.
