Mic, have you seen The Villianess? It’s a South Korean film directed by Jung Byung-gil and it’s women who fight. But good. Also there’s another film called No Mercy and stars Lee Siyoung who was an amateur boxer. It’s mostly a woman who fights…everyone with anything she can get her hands on. Also flipping amazing. Either or both would be great for your list.
Tina's dad is played by a guy who is a little over 18 years older than her, and looks it. Jaime Pressly was 29 when the movie came out, so probably 26-28 during shooting. Maybe the confusion is that the dad looks like he's her CURRENT age, and she currently looks unbelievable for 47. Or maybe it's the Hollywood brainwashing, where a guy nearing 50 is put in the same age category as a woman in her 20's.
if i had a nickel for every time [mike made a banger video about girls with guns AND video game adaptations] i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it matches my braincells
I gave birth to this movie and I've never stopped being mad about it. 2014 I'm in labor for 23 hours, I take an epidural nap. Wake up, ready to push. I'm pushing for my life and I look up at the delivery room TV and someone had put THIS movie on. In between pushes I was thinking "what the HELL who put this weird insane movie on, what even is it!?" I later found out it was in fact DOA.
Just wanted to say that I read the start of this comment as you actually giving birth to the movie, as in you were it's mother, and that was a WILD thought to me.
I understand that Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior is neither a Girls With Guns movie nor a Video Game Adaptation but I do fear a video on Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior would be a natural fit in this series
as someone who's seen doa bc its free on youtube sometimes, i can't believe you didnt mention tina's dad is supportive of the idea his daughters a lesbian. heartwarming from a texan man in 2006. and while its probs not canon in the game and played as a joke, ill still love tina as the jacked sapphic cowgirl bass and i know her to be.
When I saw Devon Aioki I assumed this was about D.E.B.S…… Mike, if you haven’t seen the early 2000s lesbian spy drama with the same budget as this movie, I implore you to do so. And if you have, I think that movie fits perfectly with the theme you have this month.
I appreciate how Leon did the thing, my instant reaction was "oh, he did the Henry Cavill reload thing" and then you pointed it out immediately. This is why we pay you the big bucks.
the rollercoaster of opening this video not knowing what DOA means and then hearing “dead or alive video game” and going EXTREME BEACH VOLLEYBALL??? and thinking I was wrong bc it’s a fighting game series… and then being Correct? unparalleled
As a DoA fan, mega props for also looking into the game(s) as well as the movie extra notes: - the Ninja Gaiden games are happening in between the DoA games (with hayabusa hopping between the two) - Zack won the DOA3 tourney, and then went to a casino and got even more money and then built zack island (and the ingame currency is called zack dollars, a currency he made himself) - Christie intended to kill Helena, but instead shot her mother (also christie may or may not get off to the idea of killing helena more at 11) - Bayman has had beef with Christie since the first game where she left him for dead during a mission - "no blood" DoA up until 5 (4 maybe if you squint) didn't really have visual effects on the characters in fighting when you're hitting/getting hit by the other character and that included a lack of blood; but I don't know if the filmmakers were thinking that far. also comical with how much hayate is active in the plot of of the moie considering in the games, he was put in a coma for the first 3rd of the series runtime
Please please please do DEBS!!! It’s got one of the same actresses in it and it’s about a girl at spy school realizing she’s gay when she falls for a villain she’s been writing her thesis on!
when i tell you i was OBSESSED with this movie when i was younger. i used to watch it all the time back when it was in youtube uploaded in parts 😭 i miss the 2000s (also the scene with miss girl in a towel getting dressed while fighting was my gay awakening lol)
This is how I find out that DOA is a fighting game and not just a game where you try to romance girls playing beach volleyball omg. And I only know about that game from when Game Grumps played it yeeeears ago😭. But I genuinely never knew that this was a fighting game originally 😭😭
i saw the title and screamed bc this movie was peak culture for my best friend and me growing up. just 2 queers calling ourselves "shinobi ninja princess"
I saw this briefly as a kid and couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. Ive been sporadically googling what little I remembered for years but it was too vague to actually give me results, so finding it this way accompanied by Mike's commentary is possibly the best possible thing that coulda happened
It's like you pointed a flashlight at the deepest, darkest corners of my memory to uncover this gem of a movie i saw when i was like 7 years old thank you mr. mic
mr. microphone i simply *must* make mention that the lead pirate who attempted to siege tina’s yacht was played by robin shou, who was liu kang in mortal kombat, which is yet another deeply unserious action movie based on a fighting game
“the more unnecessary, the better” is THE Mike’s Mic Mission Statement and i really align myself with that. the fact that he & I were born 2 days apart (same year too) really checks out
I somehow ended up at a friend's mom's house that was 2 hours away from town and we watched this movie as my mom frantically looked around everywhere for me pre internet-on-phones times... she thought I got kidnapped. Good times.
babe yk sometimes i rewatch the gossip girl season 3 video because i love the setup and how good everything looked, im very happy with the setup here thanks man
Also recommended for your next deep dive on movies that everyone knew I would love as a teenager -- Ultraviolet, the 2006 vampirism-pandemic action movie starring Milla Jojovich. I feel like it was made solely because the writer-director didn't like how gun kata was choreographed in Equilibrium.
STOP OMG doa III was literally the first ever video game i have conscious memory of playing i used to sit 3 inches in front of the CRT tv and play for HOURS on the original xbox until i unlocked every backstory clip of every character 😭 how the fuck did i not know there was a movie made i just started this video but the brief clips are shaking me to my core of real life depictions of these characters ingrained into my memory. and i could not think of a better person to introduce me to this movie i am SO READY to watch this vid TJANK U MIKE I LOVE U
I remember watching this movie as a pre-teen and I had the worst lesbian anxiety of my life. I'm amazed that you managed to find enough clips from this movie to put up a 20 minute video without showing those jiggle physics in action, because they were everywhere.
we *gotta* get a video about "Barely Lethal" at some point. that movie is a fever dream with an insanely stacked cast that has a totally nonsense plot LOL
I skipped the intro and sponsor info at first, but your use of ‘Girl, so confusing’ was so impressive I started over from the beginning and watched it all. Thanks for the laughs!
The beginning of this was giving hunter exam vibes. Like a ton of these weird characters we don’t really need to care about gathering at a remote location for a “secret” contest that does not seem secret at all.
How excited I was as a gay kid that they were going to make a movie of DOA, and then it had nothing to do with the games, they did not even have the back story of the characters nor the fighting styles. The movie was so crazy, I had no idea who it was made for.
Growing up my dad was a serial movie burner and put absolutely no restrictions on what I watched so I really thought this was a fever dream I had as a 9 year old
Mike, I am one of those Australians who gives these dolls everything. In 2008, I went to four parties, and every time, someone put a DOA on, and I ate it up every time!!!!!.
I adored this movie back in the day. Also my sister and I were addicted to doa beach volleyball, and we knew all the songs from it and still reference it to this day. Iconic all around
I was soooo obsessed with this movie as a teenager (and I still am frankly). I cannot believe that I get to live in a timeline in which Michael Microphone discusses the movie that definitively explains why women with southern accents have me in a chokehold.
I have been looking for this movie ever since the one time I watched it at my grandmas house when I was nine. At this point I thought it was a crazy fever dream, thank you so so so much for validating my memories
I am screaming crying and throwing up this has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid and I just SCREAMED when this popped into my feed. The girls who GET IT really so get it. Wow. ❤️❤️❤️⭐

I think you have at least a few more neurons than that!
my two favorite categories: reverse patriarchy and gaming
Omg d'angelooo, fancy seeing you here!! 😂❤
Glad to see I’m not the only one criminally early to this video … hi d’angelooooo
you look so stunners in your pfp😳
not ‘shein factory girl okay’ dethroning ‘Olivia Wilde nod.’ 😭 i am inconsolable
We will always have the Wilde nod emoji to commemorate this by-gone era
😂😂😂 we have seen it all with mister microphone
it is the dawning of the age of the confidence activist
But why do I giggle every. single. time. 😂
@@madeline569🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↔️
DOA went platinum in my living room
And that’s a fendi fact 👏🏾👏🏾
literally me and my housemate just now we watched it immediately and were not disappointed
It grossed $1Billion in mine.
Same👌
Same. Me and my sisters loved it
Love how Devon Aoki is just serving face and doing very little else 😭😭
Small correction: Face and body 😂
"OK."
You can always tell when Mike is super fixated on a meme lmao😂
Not me reading this comment and then it plays 😂😂😂😂
i need to know what song is playing under it 😭 it sounds like jack antonoff synths
i don’t think he’s been this down bad since the olivia wilde nodding meme (original, reverse, mirrored versions) in oceans 8
@israa.6375 exactly😂😂 there was this chihuahua pic he always used too 😂
I love how EVERYTHING in the early 2000s had to have nanobots
going from pretty woman to DOA is an INSANE jump
AG must’ve definitely made it
@@jtroxler8i love you
I gave birth to this movie and I've never stopped being mad about it. 2014 I'm in labor for 23 hours, I take an epidural nap. Wake up, ready to push. I'm pushing for my life and I look up at the delivery room TV and someone had put THIS movie on. In between pushes I was thinking "what the HELL who put this weird insane movie on, what even is it!?" I later found out it was in fact DOA.
Just wanted to say that I read the start of this comment as you actually giving birth to the movie, as in you were it's mother, and that was a WILD thought to me.
I thought the same as the other person. I thought you were just making a joke but it clicked once you mentioned the year.
Not all heros wear capes, you suffered so your child could be baptized by this movie the child is the chosen one 😂
I also misread the start of your post like rionaka8835 and missserenity1090

That movie was my childhood lmao
Pleaseeeeee
omg i loved that movie as a kid
Truly an iconic movie
Omg! I love this movie. I remember watching this my friend on UA-cam movies.
"It is so complex and bonkers that I could not possibly cover it all." coming from the guy who is recapping LOST and PLL is the funniest thing to me.
And ALL 6 SEASONS OF GLEE, like hello Mr. Microphone, if anyone was made to do this, it'd be you.
As well as Gossip Girl
im so glad i exist at the same times as mike's mic
This 🤌🤌😂
Well Mike's mic created us so...
Truly
We are the blessed generation
Right??? Imagine being flops in the 1920s back when there was no mike
as someone who's seen doa bc its free on youtube sometimes, i can't believe you didnt mention tina's dad is supportive of the idea his daughters a lesbian. heartwarming from a texan man in 2006. and while its probs not canon in the game and played as a joke, ill still love tina as the jacked sapphic cowgirl bass and i know her to be.
I know right, I loved Tina and her dad's relationship, the bits with them were so sweet!
the fact that you think I haven't seen dead or alive at least 10 times might just be the most insulting thing I have ever heard
😂
This!!!
Exactly. Or played all of the video games. Including the beach spinoffs. 😭😭
Ditto😂
Exactly. I was like, I'm one of the 5 people. ❤😂😂 it was so silly and so good
When I saw Devon Aioki I assumed this was about D.E.B.S…… Mike, if you haven’t seen the early 2000s lesbian spy drama with the same budget as this movie, I implore you to do so. And if you have, I think that movie fits perfectly with the theme you have this month.
mike we are begging you please
omg please
PLEASEEEE
mikes mic of the mike inc this is a plea from all sapphics, please watch DEBS
SAMEEEEEE! Pls, Mr Mike. It doesn't have to be next, but the world needs you to do this.
Alerting the CIA by literally typing in their website had me in stitches. Oh, I need to watch this film 💀💀💀
I appreciate how Leon did the thing, my instant reaction was "oh, he did the Henry Cavill reload thing" and then you pointed it out immediately. This is why we pay you the big bucks.
You know what is also a girls with guns AND video game movie adaptation? Resident Evil (2002).
facts
That is also so ridiculous and would be an enjoyable mikes mic video
The world needs an RE review by Mike's mic
We need Bloodrayne from Uwe Boll 💀
They have more in common than you may realise >:D
The amazing thing is that no matter how BONKERS or SILLY the movie might be the actual game lore is even BONKERER and SILLIER.
the gun sound effect they used for her kick had me DYING. what a choice
My knees make the same sound when I get up off the floor.
ikr like omg slay. like the only word i can use to describe it is 'slay'
lol
The way you cover my whole gay awakening timeline (Charlie's Angels, Tomb Raider, DOA) shakes me to my core
THAT PART
the "okay" meme throughout the entire video is absolutely sending me. 10/10
'depressed on a big set of steps; we've all been there' wait y so true
Praying for a Stick It video to get everyone seated for gymnastics next month.
Mr Microphone covering Stick It might actually kill me. That was my supreme guilty pleasure in high school and college
That film changed my brain chemistry as a child!
I'm still so mad I didn't get into gymnastics because of that film
Wait….olympics month….
@@mikesmicplease babe
the rollercoaster of opening this video not knowing what DOA means and then hearing “dead or alive video game” and going EXTREME BEACH VOLLEYBALL??? and thinking I was wrong bc it’s a fighting game series… and then being Correct? unparalleled
my first thought was "Department of Agriculture" fcjdjv
DOA is the BRAT of fighting movies.
Lmao maybe that’s why I’ve seen both about 20 times
Objectively, I feel the BRAT of fighting movies is D.E.B.S but DOA might be second.
@@FuzzyBSMcgee D.E.B.S is more for spy movies than fighting movies
The fact that Devon was in both. Queen.
you constantly adding in the “okay” influencer from the memes archive is SENDINGGGGG me
not the LAVENDER-SCENTED bin bags 😭😭
Now thicker and stronger!
I have the exact same Woolies bin bags 😭😭
Those exact bags are my go to 😂😭
I actually really like the lavender bags.
As a DoA fan, mega props for also looking into the game(s) as well as the movie
extra notes:
- the Ninja Gaiden games are happening in between the DoA games (with hayabusa hopping between the two)
- Zack won the DOA3 tourney, and then went to a casino and got even more money and then built zack island (and the ingame currency is called zack dollars, a currency he made himself)
- Christie intended to kill Helena, but instead shot her mother (also christie may or may not get off to the idea of killing helena more at 11)
- Bayman has had beef with Christie since the first game where she left him for dead during a mission
- "no blood" DoA up until 5 (4 maybe if you squint) didn't really have visual effects on the characters in fighting when you're hitting/getting hit by the other character and that included a lack of blood; but I don't know if the filmmakers were thinking that far.
also comical with how much hayate is active in the plot of of the moie considering in the games, he was put in a coma for the first 3rd of the series runtime
"I need something silly right now" if that ain't the biggest mood rn
the gunshot kick is probably the best thing i have ever seen in my life
Please please please do DEBS!!! It’s got one of the same actresses in it and it’s about a girl at spy school realizing she’s gay when she falls for a villain she’s been writing her thesis on!
PLEASE DO. the soundtrack bangs too
The shein-influencer "ok" sequence has now altered my brain chemistry
wake up babe, new Michael's Microphone video dropped
are we just glossing over the fact that the pervy nerd guy is KEVIN FROM SHAMELESS???
when i tell you i was OBSESSED with this movie when i was younger. i used to watch it all the time back when it was in youtube uploaded in parts 😭 i miss the 2000s (also the scene with miss girl in a towel getting dressed while fighting was my gay awakening lol)
i used to pause and rewind all the time to see if I could see a nip 🤧
This is how I find out that DOA is a fighting game and not just a game where you try to romance girls playing beach volleyball omg.
And I only know about that game from when Game Grumps played it yeeeears ago😭. But I genuinely never knew that this was a fighting game originally 😭😭
A Mike’s Mic upload? FIERCE ALERT
This made me realize how bad I want mike's mic to make a video about D.E.B.S
i saw the title and screamed bc this movie was peak culture for my best friend and me growing up. just 2 queers calling ourselves "shinobi ninja princess"
Iconic truly
As a young lesbian, my brother's dead or alive collection meant so much to me, ESPECIALLY dead or alive beach volleyball
As an avid DOA fan I am ashamed that I had NO knowledge they made a movie until this very moment. The video I never knew I needed
I saw this briefly as a kid and couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. Ive been sporadically googling what little I remembered for years but it was too vague to actually give me results, so finding it this way accompanied by Mike's commentary is possibly the best possible thing that coulda happened
It's like you pointed a flashlight at the deepest, darkest corners of my memory to uncover this gem of a movie i saw when i was like 7 years old thank you mr. mic
This movie/game is SO niche and the fact that you covered this is ICONICCCCCCCC
I just love how your visuals always upcline yet you never betray your style like this is mikes mic 2019 but elevated im OBSESSED
I cannot believe it took this long for someone to finally acknowledge this film
Not the wagon wheel whatoosie 😂
Cher saved lives with that one lol
now we need a vid on burlesque! lol
@@friendlymexicano no because like HOW has he not done a video on that iconic piece of media yet, it's criminal
i'm obsessed with your pronunciation of jean claude van damme
the only logical step to take after this is a video on D.E.B.S.
Factual!
I HOPE SO
Yeeeees
I was looking for this comment
“Depressed on a big set of steps” gagged me a little☠️😭
I had DOA on dvd and remember religiously watching it whenever I was sick growing up so this video is making me feel feverish
I watched this as a kid with my cousins, and now, at 30 there are still scenes embedded deep in my brain.
DOA was one of my favourite movies growing up, plus i must recommend another girls with weapons movie "D.E.B.S." and devon aoki also stars in it :D
I also just left a comment recommending DEBS 😂❤️
omg yeah i wanted to say that too i was wondering if anyone else would say something about it
i was obsessed w the dead or alive games how did i never hear about this movie😭😭 THAT PURPLE WIG FOR AYANE LORD
the [nod] "okay" clip stressed me out more and more each time it played ohmy god
this is insane. This movie is my fav of all time and ive never expected anyone to make a video about it omg im so happy rn😂
mr. microphone i simply *must* make mention that the lead pirate who attempted to siege tina’s yacht was played by robin shou, who was liu kang in mortal kombat, which is yet another deeply unserious action movie based on a fighting game
“the more unnecessary, the better” is THE Mike’s Mic Mission Statement and i really align myself with that. the fact that he & I were born 2 days apart (same year too) really checks out
Devon Aoki in this movie was such a slay
she's in D.E.B.S too !
omg the shotgun sound effect when she kicks is so good! It scared tf out of me, and then i laughed.
okay this movie looks SO ridiculous but also in a way that was charming for the 2000s
The fact I choked on my dinner when you mentioned Dan & Serena in a DOA video, sometimes special interests intersect.
The fact that you have NEVER done a video about something I haven't seen keeps me alive😂
So real of him.
I HIGHLY appreciate the mission impossible references in every video. Thank you.
😭 Jiggle Physics? Spare me.
I somehow ended up at a friend's mom's house that was 2 hours away from town and we watched this movie as my mom frantically looked around everywhere for me pre internet-on-phones times... she thought I got kidnapped. Good times.
I believe it was Mike’s Mic who originally said, “Outro. Outro-outro. Outro. Outro, outro…outro.”
And I felt that.
as someone who invested way too much time thinking about doa lore i know you made this for me specifically and i both love and hate you for this
The MMCU is heavily dependent on silliness, of course we’re in need of some more monsieur mike
15:40 DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball was my bisexual awakening…
As a longtime DOA fan, you don't know how happy this video makes me
babe yk sometimes i rewatch the gossip girl season 3 video because i love the setup and how good everything looked, im very happy with the setup here thanks man
this video unlocked the craziest vaguest memory of the doa beach volleyball game -my friend had it and its how I knew I was gay
Also recommended for your next deep dive on movies that everyone knew I would love as a teenager -- Ultraviolet, the 2006 vampirism-pandemic action movie starring Milla Jojovich. I feel like it was made solely because the writer-director didn't like how gun kata was choreographed in Equilibrium.

this is probably my favorite video youve made, ive seen it 3 times now but still could NOT tell you anything about the plot its so random
why is nobody talking about that massive slay of a mcbling mcitalia cap
I remember watching this movie as a pre-teen and I had the worst lesbian anxiety of my life. I'm amazed that you managed to find enough clips from this movie to put up a 20 minute video without showing those jiggle physics in action, because they were everywhere.
we *gotta* get a video about "Barely Lethal" at some point. that movie is a fever dream with an insanely stacked cast that has a totally nonsense plot LOL
Watching Mike is probably healing my inner child, cause I loved this movie as a child and then totally forgot about it.
The other day I saw a tweet regarding the mcu and my brain immediately went “the mikes mic cinematic universe” and forgot that marvel existed 💀💀
I skipped the intro and sponsor info at first, but your use of ‘Girl, so confusing’ was so impressive I started over from the beginning and watched it all. Thanks for the laughs!
If it's silliness and girls with guns you're after - it's gotta be D.E.B.S with extra plus points for queer storyline!
YES !!!!
i just commented he should do a vid on that then saw ur comment lol
Not me clicking into this video and immediately thinking "it's giving D.E.B.S"
omfg yesssssss
The beginning of this was giving hunter exam vibes. Like a ton of these weird characters we don’t really need to care about gathering at a remote location for a “secret” contest that does not seem secret at all.
you are literally the only creator who can use the same clip repeatedly throughout a video and it's not annoying somehow
How excited I was as a gay kid that they were going to make a movie of DOA, and then it had nothing to do with the games, they did not even have the back story of the characters nor the fighting styles. The movie was so crazy, I had no idea who it was made for.

HUH this movie is iconic, I‘ve seen it multiple times in the past and I‘m not afraid to admit that i love it 😭
I was soooo obsessed with this movie as a teenager (and I still am frankly). I cannot believe that I get to live in a timeline in which Michael Microphone discusses the movie that definitively explains why women with southern accents have me in a chokehold.
Wait, this is literally my favorite game adaptation movie of all time
You're iconic for covering this
As someone who’s played the games and been a fan since DOA4 it’s so surreal to see a major UA-camr I love talk about them lmao.
I have been looking for this movie ever since the one time I watched it at my grandmas house when I was nine. At this point I thought it was a crazy fever dream, thank you so so so much for validating my memories
I’m SO glad you randomly popped up in my recommended videos. My life has been forever changed in the best way
I had this movie saved on my iPod touch and 13-year-old me watched it RELIGIOUSLY every week so I think i am just happy I found my tribe lol
I am screaming crying and throwing up this has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid and I just SCREAMED when this popped into my feed. The girls who GET IT really so get it. Wow. ❤️❤️❤️⭐
I still rewatch this movie when I run out of show to watch.
