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.
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.”
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
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.
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.)
@@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.
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.
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.
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

@@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

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
😳
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.
I loved this movie as a kid
If you've never seen this movie, it's one of those "so bad it's good" movies imo lol
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.
I remember this movie it was such a great movie.
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.
Man I loved this movie as a kid
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."
This was a ok movie. childhood memories.
I remember this when i was kid. Hahaa that was so fun XD
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.
peak of humanity here
4:29 ...I remember this butt looking a lot more enjoyable when I first saw this. As a kid.
Slash the Guns n Rose 2:53
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.

I hate you so much for this comment
2:34 oh my god 😲
My best friend and I STILL quote that part.
The Power Of Might, The Power Of Right, We Are Double Dragons 🐉👦🏻 ⚔ 👦🏼🐉
That movie has BEST PARTS?!?!?

2:33 lolol that was brutal
5:49 Robert Patrick's face when he read the script.
Ahh the 90s. When the bad guys always conveniently attack one at a time.
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
The true Double Dragons from the games would never scream at anyone,
they're both as fearless as Daredevil.

I was 8 years old when this came out and I loved it
Can anyone tell me where this sound effect 4:49 and others like it came from or send me a link?
From parasite eve the game
@@Luigi-xg7hx what enemy makes that sound? And we're can I find the sound effects if you happen to know them that is
Koga Shuko did the people's eyebrow 5:49. Lol
3:18
Wasn't the music supposed to belch right here?
This felt more like River city ransom more than double dragon to me
My karate instructor was the stunt director for this movie
Was his name
Jeff Imada Sensei?
A Double Dragon reboot with Scott Adkins/Alain Moussi it would be FUCKING BADASS.
😎😎😎😎 hehe boi
That be awesome

best parts? thank god didn't watch it

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.
Wolfshifter don’t like it you can get the fuck out,we’re trying to watch something we used to like when we were kids.
How is 1994 the best and worst year in cinema at the same time? What a time.
This movie was so bad it made it great.
We’re not getting a sequel out of this, are we? Bcuz it’s totally fine by me
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.
I used to love this movie
not a bad movie by bad movie standards. It actually has heart and good camp
Cherishable memories for sure
4:25 😂😂
Sniff it lol
Well, that's one nightmare I never needed to be reminded about.
Should've just spammed A+B relentlessly and do the super effective spinny kick thingie.
Mark what's his name is great.Saw him in John Wick .Doing something again in Capoiera would make me happy.
Here for one reason 4:22
5:49 Grinderwalde!!!
yall talkin bout 90s i was watchin dis shi in 09😭
The only good thing to come out of this was the Neo Geo Double Dragon fighting game.
2:27 And this scene, ngl
Umm. No. That was garbage.
2:35 Kiernnn was right! The scene played out fucking hilarious lol

That was awesome
The Abobo cut really does a lot for this movie.
Totally forgot this existed, lol
Is that mr kangiro sanga as one of the dragons?
I loveee cheesy classics!
These movies were fun, if we're being honest with ourselves.
Not even Goku faced so much danger 😂
Oh no! It’s the ol’ “Disgruntled Postman” gag!
...wtf... the T1000... was in this movie...
I always wondered why the hell he looks freaky timid here 🤣😆🤣

This is the definition of 1994 bargain bin movie.

Esse filme até que era engraçado
T1000 has become a joke in this movie 😂
You could never make such a legendary character a joke.
Okay now do Super Mario Bros and Surf Ninja to complete the Trifecta of cheesy 90s action movies.
" I can see you no you can't "
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.
Looks like la today
Bro what am I watching, I’m so high
This practically destroyed Robert Patrick, Mark Decascos, and Scott Wolf's careers. God bless, they actually rebounded.
