Dante Watches Double Dragon

Double Dragon 3/10

I watched the 1994 movie Double Dragon. It was bad. I liked the video games. Not this movie. Not sure why it was made or who it was made for. I enjoyed looking at Alyssa Milano. She looked great in this. Dude from Party Of Five is annoying. The other dude is not as annoying and actually knows how to fight. T-1000 is the villain. He turns into shadow paper. Its wack.

Insert Coin: Double Dragon

“The player takes control of martial artist Billy Lee, or his twin brother Jimmy as they fight their way into the turf of the Shadow Warriors gang in order to rescue their common love interest Marian. The player character has a repertoire of martial art techniques which they can perform by using the joystick and three action buttons (kick, jump, and punch) individually or in combination. Techniques ranges from basic punches and kicks, to more elaborate maneuvers like hair grabbing moves or elbow punches.”

The leader of the Shadow Warriors is named Willy. I’ll never be afraid of a man with that name. I don’t care if I’m a woman walking down the alley of a dangerous street towards a group of obvious sociopaths one of which is carrying the type of gun that is normally strapped to the top of a vehicle on a battlefield. Oh, Marian. In the pantheon of damsels in distress in video games she has to be one of the dumbest. Seriously. If you saw this group on the news you’d never go to that neighborhood let alone slowly walking towards you on the street. Of course they punch her in the stomach and fling her over their shoulder and walk away.
