Back then you was just a 10 year old 90's kid that enjoyed this movie and didn't care about film critics because none of us really didn't understand or didnt even knew of film critics. 90's we just enjoyed what made us happy
They filmed on the abandoned sets of Super Mario and Secret of the Ooze apparently lol. This movie is like the inner mind of all 10 year old boys in the 90s, has a little bit of everything. WWF, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Ninja Turtles was insanely popular around this time.
Aww I really liked this movie. It was so cheesy, but it embraced it 90s style, and it worked for it. Plus, quite a lot of high profile actors and cameos for the time. Too many shows take themselves super serious these days, I miss movies that poked fun at themselves.
@winterwolfryan The most recent movie that I've seen that didn't take things seriously and kinda poked fun at itself and it's source material was the Dora the Explorer movie. It was better and more enjoyable than it had any right to be.
This movie was a guilty pleasure for me. Even if you hated it, you couldn't help but feel sorry for Bo Abobo at the 1:54 mark. The 2 moments that I remember fondly are the "I can see you part" and "Please use other door"
I watched this on Peacock the other day because I'd heard horrible things about it and had to see for myself. I enjoyed it! I don't get the hate. It's extremely campy and fun. I would have been very into this when it came out, but I was 2 in 1994.
Robert Patrick was really the one who saved this movie in any way. And I don't care what smartass critics say, I love movies like "Double Dragon", "Street Fighter" and "Super Mario Bros" because they were a part of my childhood.
Try The Warriors (1978). That is essentially what Double Dragon was inspired by. Then play the great playstation 2 Warriors game made by Rockstar. The recent movie John Wick Chapter 4 has homages to The Warriors in it as an easter egg.
Wow, this movie was bad. All they had to do was make a movie about twins taking out some street thugs, then their gang leader stomach punching Billy's girlfriend, kidnapping her, him talking Jimmy into joining him in a street brawl that leads all the way to the office of the main mob leader & the two of them beating the ever-living crap out of him after discovering the power of their half-dragon amulets, nearly dying several times against people that are bigger than them, like Abobo. The incompetence of Hollywood never ceases to amaze me.
Hey, to make it more interesting, the bros are separated at birth! One in the gang that kidnapped Billy's girlfriend, but the half amulet both had since birth unites them since the mob boss who raised Jimmy tries to kill both during their initial fight. Billy's goal is saving his girlfriend. Jimmy's goal is confronting the man he considered a father to find the truth, since he loves him & this surrogate father tried to kill him, leading to the two bros fighting at the end, Jimmy for approval, Billy for his girl! Then they fight the mob boss! Gasp! DERRR!
The problem is Hollywood to often simply doesn't care about source material or respect the fans of those franchises. Contrast this movie with the way Technos handled the fighting game based on this movie. The game looks so much more appealing and respectfully handled.
@@ENiceGeo It's one of the reasons I went to school for filmmaking. The chance to make faithful interpretations of the things I love. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to get the gig, no matter how passionate you are about the project. Oh, well. There's always original stories or "inspired" homages.
Sometimes I sit back and wonder about certain things in movies... with this one I wonder why they bother to scream at the big guy but he chases them so slowly
@KEN-1991 I've never got the chance to play the game version of this... but I believe your right probably just exaggerated for the movie is just as slow as this guy moves I thought was silly but I understand is probably also for comedy .... but I didn't laugh
@@blaze-jb4xz The game version is worth it. The plot and characters of the game are also ten times better than this badly made movie, the game was dark, brutal and gritty like Fist of the North Star.
@KEN-1991 I thought as much movie remakes are never the same... what is this Nintendo? Probably one day will go to one of those retro games stores and trial unless it's on game app or arcade place if not I'd view a video easy version but I agree with this also the movie was a bit pre school level clichéd weak but is one of those things you watch waiting to see if there's a good part about to happen or more dramatic but nothing... probably a kid friendly type movie but it its a spoiler for those who already seen the real
I guess it was not a bad start for Marc Dacascos and Scott Wolf who starred in the film. Scott lately co-starred in the TV series Family of Five (correct me if I'm wrong), and Marc established himself as an action star, from playing villain in American Samurai with David Bradley, and playing the lead role in Crying Freeman.
Shuko had one of my favorite lines any villain has ever said in this movie, which was shamefully left out here. Abobo: “I’ve already got the strength of ten men. This stuff will kill me!” Shuko: “Perhaps. But you know, Abobo, I’ve always thought of you like a son. And like a son, I can always have another.”
Theres was already a good double dragon movie Its called streets of fire Its also a street of rage movie The warriors also works; both games are just streets of fire + the warriors
A proper live-action Double Dragon movie in 1994 should look like both Escape from New York (1981) and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) combined into a superhero blockbuster film. And a sequel based on Double Dragon II: The Revenge should look like both Big Trouble in Little China (1986) and Mortal Kombat (1995). (If I made the films, that's what they would look like.)
Seeing Young Mark Dadescos hahah damn. And Never realizing Robert Patrick T1000 was Shuko. Lolol. I gotta find my Laser Disc Player with Sega Genesis all in one system and LD itself. 😀 2:33 lolol that was brutal
@@sanapsingh787 im sorry but I change my mind a Double Dragon reboot with Scott Adkins and Alain Moussi instead of Vidyut Jamwal. Alain is a great martial artists so is Vidyut but I don't know if he speaks English that well but he sounded ok when Scott was interviewing him on a episode of The Art of Action but I think that Alain would be better now.
@California Dreaming Nostalgia or not, any one of us that actually played the game would have made a much better movie. It sucks that the majority of people getting the opportunity are there out of nepotism or prostitution rather than talent. Much more money could be made by the idiots responsible for the hiring if they were smart enough to hire on merit rather than nepotism, a one time bj or identity politics. It's not hard to tell a good story. Those against nature/biology/history always lose. Badly. Because bad ideas are always bad.
How to do a Double Dragon '94 movie the right way: Imagine Escape from New York (1981) and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) fused into one gritty vigilante-duo action flick.
There's no sequel because the movie flopped, the casting of the canon characters were terrible, and no one asked for a Double Dragon 2. The sequel we got instead was the NEO•GEO fighting game.
O filme todo esperando eles colocarem a roupa vermelha e azul, para no final não ter nenhum efeito especial de poder igual ao vídeo game . Essa era a graça dos filmes dos anos 90 uma decepção esperando algum efeito especial grafico
I never seen this movie, but I have played a lot of the games. I'm going to try my best to not sound harsh nor mean to this movie by just saying that I think it was the 90s' fault that this movie didn't age so well. I mean, this movie came out during an age where it was nothing but cheesy and goofy action movies made with toned down action, fighting, and violence. I mean come on, Mortal Kombat 1995 was PG-13. That should tell you a lot about not just this Double Dragon movie or MK '95, but nearly every other cheesy action films that came out around this time. Plus I can put some money on the fact that the technology was limited in the 90s compared to today, so I can excuse some of the "bad" special effects, costumes, and even the acting. Nowadays movies are made with less limitations or restrictions in mind, and in much better quality. We got action movies and shows today like John Wick, Equalizer, not to mention the many marvel and dc movies and shows out there, plus many more that I haven't watched yet. All made with over the top action, good acting, and good story writing. I think that if a new Double Dragon movie was made in today's day and age in the style of something like John Wick for example, I think it would be a lot more successful and well recieved than this one. With better technology, better actors, better budget, better writing, etc.
Everything the West makes an adaptation of Double Dragon… They keep missing the points on both the story and characters. Double Dragon is supposed to be like Fist of the North Star meets The Warriors. This failed adaptation film is too much like Surf Ninjas, and both the Marvel Comic and DIC cartoon were basically a white-washed Ninja Gaiden.
I think they took the design of the sprite of Abobo a little too literally, because the original artwork depicts him as simply a steroid induced man! The games always exaggerated that in the visuals though, making the head and body look bigger than intended to signify boss look!
If Double Dragon movie gets a reboot, I prefer director like Zack Synder (300 and Man Of Steel), Robert Rodriguez (Sin City), Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil), James Gunn (Guardian Of The Galaxy), Taika Waikiki (Thor Raganork), Louis Leterrier (Clash Of The Titan), Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America Civil War), James Wan (Aquaman), Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), Tim Miller (Deadpool), David Leitch (Deadpool 2), Chad Stahelski (John Wick), Patrick Hughes (Hitman Bodyguard) or Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland). Also done in 300 and Sin City style.
Back then you was just a 10 year old 90's kid that enjoyed this movie and didn't care about film critics because none of us really didn't understand or didnt even knew of film critics. 90's we just enjoyed what made us happy
Even today I still don't give a crap about film critics.
@@ZidaneOfTantalus Same. I laugh when people take that shit seriously. It's literally some dude or gals opinion. Who gives a shit. lol
Yeah, Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros. and the Street Fighter Movie were are good examples in my case.
That's called childhood and it's what kids will be doing till the end of time.
The 90's weren't any different to the decades before them.
Yessiiir
They filmed on the abandoned sets of Super Mario and Secret of the Ooze apparently lol. This movie is like the inner mind of all 10 year old boys in the 90s, has a little bit of everything. WWF, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Ninja Turtles was insanely popular around this time.
In cleveland, Ohio? Christ, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania could have been a better choice. Lol
I was there at 12 years old in the tower city scene

It didn't work. js

Lol poor Abobo
When you realize that T-1000 is the villain boss of Double Dragon
Yeah but like 1/1000th the coolness level.
Or you realize that Peter Gould one of the two guys behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul wrote this film.
Johnny Depp would be a great actor for a remake. He kinda looks like him with the glasses on.
Didn’t these guys play Ken and ryu on street fighter
😳
This was one of my favorite movies I rented from Hollywood Video back in the day! To be a kid during the 90’s was the best!!
Come on man don't lie. You copied the movie like the rest of us did. lol.
Hehehe I was actually looking for 2:30. I'm a 94 baby and saw this when I was little so it's great to see movies from my childhood.
Still love this movie. It was pure fun.
If you've never seen this movie, it's one of those "so bad it's good" movies imo lol
I watched this on Peacock the other day because I'd heard horrible things about it and had to see for myself.
I enjoyed it! I don't get the hate. It's extremely campy and fun. I would have been very into this when it came out, but I was 2 in 1994.
I loved this movie as a kid
I forgive myself for having enjoyed it so much when I was just a Kid.
Don't feel bad .I loved this when I was a kid;I still do.Watch Only the Strong .The Mark guy is in it .Capoira is amazing.
I remember this movie it was such a great movie.
Robert Patrick was really the one who saved this movie in any way.
And I don't care what smartass critics say, I love movies like "Double Dragon", "Street Fighter" and "Super Mario Bros" because they were a part of my childhood.
They were still shit
Well said! I so agree on that one.
Try The Warriors (1978). That is essentially what Double Dragon was inspired by. Then play the great playstation 2 Warriors game made by Rockstar. The recent movie John Wick Chapter 4 has homages to The Warriors in it as an easter egg.
Another villain I wanted to see in the film is Hulk Hogan playing the role of "Machine Gun" Willy.
The final boss of the Double Dragon game.
Man I loved this movie as a kid

This movie was awesome man
I hate you so much for this comment
This was a ok movie. childhood memories.
The only parts of this movie that stuck with me: That dude's hair. "Hey look, it's the Lee brothers, Ug and Home." and "Oh shit." "You said it."
I remember this when i was kid. Hahaa that was so fun XD
peak of humanity here
The Power Of Might, The Power Of Right, We Are Double Dragons 🐉👦🏻 ⚔ 👦🏼🐉
Ahh the 90s. When the bad guys always conveniently attack one at a time.

Slash the Guns n Rose 2:53

The true Double Dragons from the games would never scream at anyone,
they're both as fearless as Daredevil.

That movie has BEST PARTS?!?!?

"Huey. Lewis. Any news?"
“I JUST WANT TOTAL DOMINATION, OF ONE MAJOR AMERICAN CITY!”
How is 1994 the best and worst year in cinema at the same time? What a time.
This felt more like River city ransom more than double dragon to me
Theres was already a good double dragon movie
Its called streets of fire
Its also a street of rage movie
The warriors also works; both games are just streets of fire + the warriors

Umm. No. That was garbage.
not a bad movie by bad movie standards. It actually has heart and good camp

It's not THAT bad. Granted, it's awful, but it's the same tier as the Mario Brothers movie. If you've seen that, then you are not too good for this.

This movie still holds up idc what any of you young woke folk talking bout…atleast we didn’t grow up on Fortnite 😂
Double Dragon >>>>>>>>>>>>> Fartnite
I never understood why all these random people were fighting each other at the end, and then they just stop when they kill Robert Patrick lol.
That's because the Double Dragons and Koga Shuko are the only ones who are given power by the Talisman.
...wtf... the T1000... was in this movie...
I always wondered why the hell he looks freaky timid here 🤣😆🤣

If ur seeing this today in England on TV today channel legand 3pm

with that final boss Willy Mackey played by Hulk Hogan.
Those bedazzled uniforms are awful.
They based the look off of the Sega Master System cover art.
Alyssa Milano is the only good thing about this movie 🎥
Back when she was not full of shit.
No, Robert Patrick is.
"No more Spinach"!!!!! bo abobo
If Double Dragon movie gets a reboot, I prefer director like Zack Synder (300 and Man Of Steel), Robert Rodriguez (Sin City), Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil), James Gunn (Guardian Of The Galaxy), Taika Waikiki (Thor Raganork), Louis Leterrier (Clash Of The Titan), Anthony and Joe Russo (Captain America Civil War), James Wan (Aquaman), Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), Tim Miller (Deadpool), David Leitch (Deadpool 2), Chad Stahelski (John Wick), Patrick Hughes (Hitman Bodyguard) or Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland). Also done in 300 and Sin City style.
I’ll always remember Alyssa Milano😂😂😂
T1000 has become a joke in this movie 😂
You could never make such a legendary character a joke.
