Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
jessegehrig The most fascinating aspect of the human brain is memory. For instance having seen this movie, my brain did not remember what I saw. I would have to watch this piece of sh*t movie again in order to access those memories. Do you think I would go through the effort to remember? No, I would not. If you have seen The Doubled Dragoons then you know why I am never going to try to see this movie again. On a personal note, I like to thank my brain for forgetting. I don't need to remember this movie or what happens, its my gift to myself. Now, let's spend the remaining characters required for a submission talking about something pleasant like pizza. I like pepperoni, it's classic, if I could only eat one kind of pizza for the rest of my life, it's pepperoni.
Thomasjod You have to take this movie for what it is, a mid 90's video game era and Ninja obsessed culture movie. Many people rate this movie bad because they are up tight adults. In reality, this movie is great for kids who like martial arts, etc.. It's a good movie for kids who want to watch Martial Arts style movies but without all the bad language and sex. Somehow that gets bad ratings from the morons of today.The futuristic imaginary city, "good gangs", and villain aspects are so good. Cheeky one liners and cars with flames. My sons loved it. It's very much a power ranger and TMNT feel. It's so 90's and this movie had great casting.
k_i_n_g_t_o_n_y The main reason that I'm writing this is because at the moment there's a comment up saying "Fun for all ages", and I'm worried about IMDb being sued for false advertising if it is left there. This movie is only fun if you've been smoking some particularly strange and illegal substances. I really wanted to like it, I did, and when my friend said he had a copy of this fairly rare DVD, I jumped at the chance to borrow it. I lent him DOA for a couple of days (which, far from being a good movie, IS good fun and does exactly what it says on the box - combines martial arts with attractive, scantily clad ladies). There's barely any decent martial arts in this, and that was the only thing that I was hoping for. There are gaping plot holes, awful direction and camera work, I refuse to mention quite how bad the writing is, they make one of the lead characters so incredibly annoying that I would've strangled him myself if that were possible (sorry Scott, but if I ever meet you in real life I may have to do this anyway) and it wasn't even anything like the computer game - don't get me wrong, I'm not such a fan-boy that straying from the plot of a game in it's adaptation bothers me, but the basic 2D plot of the game is infinitely better than the plot of the film.I'm probably running out of space, so I will finalise by saying that the only reason this got 2 stars from me is because Robert Patrick refuses to give up trying to act with a crap script - this man has my respect, as after five minutes even he knows how bad it is.Please don't feel the need to see this. Seriously.
Frank Markland Mark Dacascos and Scott Wolf star as Jimmy and Billy Lee, two brothers who join forces to keep a magic medallion out of the hands of a gang leader (Robert Patrick in an embarrassing performance) he already has the half of it and he'll do anything to get the other half. People often times wonder why Robert Patrick and Mark Dacascos never got that far in their careers. Well for those that are curious, here is your reason. Double Dragon is easily one of the worst video game adaptions and from what I remember about the video game, this isn't one that is all that hard to adapt. Indeed had this been done as an Indianna Jones style thriller with numerous martial arts fights, we might have had something. What the movie ends up being is a cheeseball adaption that fails to engage anyone over the age of 11. Although i'm not sure even if small children will enjoy something so stupid. It's a bad movie. Just plain bad.* out of 4-(Bad)
