Let me tell ya I loved this movie as a kid. Watched more times than I care to admit let me tell ya. And let me tell ya it's reviews like this that make me love this channel so much. Nostalgia let me tell ya!
This has been one of my guilty pleasure movies since it came out. I love it. Filmed in Cleveland. The soundtrack is also super fun. Especially “Green Mind” by Dink.
I always felt like the movie was more of a cartoon adaptation than the video game adaptation. At best a mix of the video game and cartoon. And yes there was a mystical power themed double dragon cartoon series.
Im pretty sure that is what it is. I don't think anyone gave a crap about the video game, everything about this says they were looking at the animated series. You couldn't make a movie based on that original game, there is no story to it really...Arcade games weren't made for stories.
Woah!! Wrestlemania 14 wasn't Bret Hart and Stone Cold. It was Stone Cold vs Shawn Michaels with Mike Tyson has special enforcer. It's when Stone Cold won the WWF title for the first time and the whole Stone Cold era started. 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
In the late 90s and early 00s Double Dragon was one of those movies that was ALWAYS on Saturday or Sunday in the middle of the day. I loved it every time.
Ahhh memories from Wrestlemania 14 where Mike Tyson refereed that CLASSIC Last Blood Match between Bret Hart & Stone Cold. And that UNFORGETTABLE finish where Tyson rang the bell early and screwed Bret, forever known as the "Mon-ThweeAll Skwoo Job!"
Two of my friends got to be extras in this. One of them was a Mailman, not the one they showed here, but did have a quick close up when they boys were surrounded. My other friend got to skate in Clevelands Galleria and did a ollie off the center water fountain. Was cheesey but I did like this and watched a'lot when was younger.
The comment section section isn't shitting on you for your Wrestlemania XIV error?! Wow. Hart/Austin submission match was Wrestlemania XIII. Good job comment section for being polite and civil.
The reason that this movie is so weird is they are loosely following the plot of the Animated series. I personally love this film. Abbobos line where he calls them ugh lee and home lee it's classic
When I think Double Dragon story my mind goes to the cartoon with that version of Shadow Master and the Double Dragon Dojo. Then I think about the movie. Then some of the video game narratives.
I just added Tubi recently, I have Street Fighter on DVD when I picked up a JCVD 17 movie collection 30% off. Will need to look for Double Dragon on Tubi.
In the games it's actually post apocalyptic is why Jack City was what it was, and why they had such a odd set of locals to fight at. Here? Sure a earthquake I guess, whatever lol.
I think it was a Sheldon Lettich (action director) interview that said the Double Dragon bombed action star Mark Dacascos career to a degree for quite a while after
Amazon has the rifftrax version very funny. Childhood memories watching this over and over in the early 90s kept rewinding the street fighter preview on the vhs. Sadly wasn’t allowed to watch it due to Van Damn movies being too adult for me.
my dad would rent the hell out of this movie for me as a kid all because i wanted to see the suits. love it till this day. also abobo still grosses me out.
Austin vs Hart was WrestleMania 13 and was submission match with Ken Shamrock as the referee. WrestleMania 14 Austin vs Michaels with Mike Tyson as the referee. I'm sorry I just corrected you but I'm a wrestling nerd and I'm highly offended 😁
What?!?! You're not getting Johanna anything from Zavvi? 😱 Never seen this one. But I watched Mortal Kombat exactly how Joey describes his obsessive watching of Double Dragon.
48:38 What are you guys talking about? There hasn't been a new Final Fight game in over 15 years. The Double Impact you showed is just a port of the arcade original with a couple extra bells and whistles.
19:06 one of her other complaints was about banning guns. Then she was found walking around with private security, who was carrying. Talk about hypocrisy, lol. Rules for thee and none for me.🤦♂️😂
I iiked this movie. Although, I do recognize it's faults. Scott Wolfe, for one. I watched on Prime recently. It's funny that you mentioned music video directors that move to movies. Samuel Bayer is another one. Went from Smells Like Teen Spirit to the 2010 A Nightmare On Elm Street remake. I believe that the Double Dragon cartoon is closest to the game
I actually bought this movie on Blu-ray. I don't know if it is just my copy, but the lip sync is off. It was a little weird. My DVD didn't have the same problem, but that was a different company that released it.
Instead of dark and gritty mangas, animes, and OVAs based on the Double Dragon trilogy... DIC instead gave us a cheesy cartoon that feels more like it was based off of Ninja Gaiden.
As a fan of both Arcade games,and Double Dagon Advanced, I will never watch his movie. Bad enough that the NeoGeo version had badly digitised footage from the film in it.

You should do "Streets of Fire," the movie that inspired the beat 'em-up genre of video games.
Thanks for having me on dude! So much fun!
Great review guys!
Nice job joey
Robert Patrick DEFINITELY did this as a "pay check" movie 🤑🤣
It's like what Affleck said in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back...you do the "safe movie", then you do the artsy fartsy, or more financially risky movies
@@JamesJohnson-tr1gu lion face , lemon face.
I feel like a lot of these folks also do these movies because their kids love the intellectual properties.

Finally get to see Bimmy and Jimmy in all their glory

Take a drink every time you hear "Let me tell ya"
I'm going to do this!
Let me tell ya I loved this movie as a kid. Watched more times than I care to admit let me tell ya. And let me tell ya it's reviews like this that make me love this channel so much. Nostalgia let me tell ya!
I can die at peace now knowing that if they reboot the 90s The Mask show Joey C is around to do the voice haha.
Lemme tell ya, so many "lemme tell yas"
Double Dragon like Super Mario Bros. are about fraternal twin brothers saving the day game-wise.
I remember watching this in highschool and was wondering if Shuko asked Linda lash to stay behind for some steamy Double Dragon action.
The only reason I know about this movie is because of the nostalgia critic's review of it lol
Nice film to review plus Johnny is here so can't wait guys!
Hey, what do you mean? What congratulations? Am I A winner here or something? 🙂
Yes!!!! This movie sucks so hard…but I have watched it probly hundreds of times! I hate it, but can’t get enough of it🎉
Can't wait! We also neeeeeed Super Mario bros 1993 and Street fighter reviews!
I did a Street fighter review on the old show Rental Reviews
@@HackTheMovies we want it on the good show now!
@@HackTheMovies nah, we want Boondock Saints! 90s gold...
I just watched this movie and its so okay its actually surprising, i expected it being way worse
Used to watch this growing up, gonna be a goodun.
This has been one of my guilty pleasure movies since it came out. I love it. Filmed in Cleveland. The soundtrack is also super fun. Especially “Green Mind” by Dink.
You GOTTA check out Mark Dacascos (Jimmy) in the Brotherhood of the Wolf. He's excellent.
WOULD YOU JUST LET HIM TELL YA, TONY!
HE'S ASKED SO MANY TIMES!
JUST LET HIM TELL YOU, PLEASE!
I have a soft spot for the early 90s video game movies. I just love how stupidly fun they were.
Not afraid to admit I enjoyed Super Mario Bros., Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter back in the day.
I always felt like the movie was more of a cartoon adaptation than the video game adaptation. At best a mix of the video game and cartoon. And yes there was a mystical power themed double dragon cartoon series.

Ohohohoho. This is gonna be a treat haha. Double Dragon is a marvelous piece of cinema. I can't wait.
This movie isn't as Kicky as Power Rangers, probably, so I already don't like it -mint
Ahhh memories from Wrestlemania 14 where Mike Tyson refereed that CLASSIC Last Blood Match between Bret Hart & Stone Cold. And that UNFORGETTABLE finish where Tyson rang the bell early and screwed Bret, forever known as the "Mon-ThweeAll Skwoo Job!"
That wasn’t Wrestlemania 14.

My bad!
"Let me tell ya..."
I remember Mark Dacascos from Only the Strong where he teaches capoeira to inner city students.
I only picked that movie up on DVD earlier this year had known of it for years but never got to see it.
Let me tell ya, I like this review and the co host!👍
Since Only the strong is one of my favorite movies of all time. More Marc Damascus is always invited.
For some reason the first thing I always remember Mark Dacascos being in is the Crow tv series.
Love the Double Dragon games…especially Double Dragon II, but I still haven’t seen this movie. Sounds like I’m not missing anything.😂
Wrestlemania 13 had Bret Hart vs Stone Cold in Submission match that had lots of blood not 14. WTH Tony 😁
"I can see you"
"No you can't!" *Hits eyeball*
Absolutely loved this.
The reason that this movie is so weird is they are loosely following the plot of the Animated series. I personally love this film. Abbobos line where he calls them ugh lee and home lee it's classic
Tony gets stuck deep in bits and it’s glorious
Damm i can't wait for this one 📼
I remembered nothing of this though I saw it hundreds of times as a kid..
LEMME TELL YA!! 😒
When I think Double Dragon story my mind goes to the cartoon with that version of Shadow Master and the Double Dragon Dojo. Then I think about the movie. Then some of the video game narratives.
These guys need Bimmy to tell them, “the doctor is called Frankenstein, not the monster “37:12
Wrestlemania 14 was Stone Cold vs HBK with Tyson as ref. 13 was Stone Cold vs Bret Hart.
I was waiting the entire time for you to say "Bimmy and Jimmy," and you did accidentally say Bimmy at 45:30. Ha!
I remember seeing the movie in the theater with my best friend and his dad. Robert Patrick was the bad guy and he kept saying "oh shit"
Every now and then, I will randomly quote this movie; “What’s up chicken butt?”
I used to watch this movie a lot when I was a kid, I'm biased by the nostalgia but I like this movie
Need more 1990s Scott Wolf? 1993's 'Teenage Bonnie And Klepto Clyde'.
This is gonna be good! I loved joey c during the faculty review!
Tony is a little boy who lives in the back of my mouth. -The Shining
Double Dragon and Street Fighter are both dumb fun. Somehow missed both movies until last year. Tubi is great.
I just added Tubi recently, I have Street Fighter on DVD when I picked up a JCVD 17 movie collection 30% off. Will need to look for Double Dragon on Tubi.
Street Fighter is actually funny compared to Double Dragon.
When I was a kid, I always picked this one to rent on movie night. Lol I probably wore the their tape out
In the games it's actually post apocalyptic is why Jack City was what it was, and why they had such a odd set of locals to fight at. Here? Sure a earthquake I guess, whatever lol.
Yoooo, where's Joey c from? Binghamton? Video King was the shit!!!!
You guys mixed up WrestleMania 13 and 14 but that's okay LOL
I think it was a Sheldon Lettich (action director) interview that said the Double Dragon bombed action star Mark Dacascos career to a degree for quite a while after
Tom Cruise best of the underdog episode: include legend, the mummy, etc. LET'S GET THIS IDEA!
nice job as always, loved this one, a true classic campy video game movie.... with an odd cast and absurd acting... A job well done! TONY AND JOEYC!
Screen rant cohost sounds like the 90s Raphael at times lol😂🐢
Lemme Tell Ya... This guy says "Lemme Tell Ya" about every minute, lemme tell ya!
Another great review, Terrific Tony!
LET ME TELL YOU!!!!
This you Tony or is this a scam?
Amazon has the rifftrax version very funny. Childhood memories watching this over and over in the early 90s kept rewinding the street fighter preview on the vhs. Sadly wasn’t allowed to watch it due to Van Damn movies being too adult for me.
No mention of the Shuko Krispies cereal?
JOEYC MY MAN!
1. 1995 Mortal Kombat, 2. 1994 Street Fighter, 3. 1993 Super Mario Bros., and then 4. 1994 Double Dragon.
Double Dragon is one of the movies ever!
my dad would rent the hell out of this movie for me as a kid all because i wanted to see the suits. love it till this day. also abobo still grosses me out.
Tony snuck a Bimmy in there
Austin vs Hart was WrestleMania 13 and was submission match with Ken Shamrock as the referee. WrestleMania 14 Austin vs Michaels with Mike Tyson as the referee. I'm sorry I just corrected you but I'm a wrestling nerd and I'm highly offended 😁
As I recall correctly, I think there were 8-10 people who watched in the theater
Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage films should be made by the guys that did The Raid: Redemption
I think streets of Rage may be getting a movie by the John Wick ppl.
@@HYPOMANNUGGETSILLYMAN cool!!!
This also the only figure set besides turtles that I had both good guys and the main bad guy
Growing up I wanted to be a pro wrestler and I wanted my ring attire to look like what they're wearing
Boy, let me tell ya, this vid is great!
What?!?! You're not getting Johanna anything from Zavvi? 😱

I think this review proves one thing - Syphon Filter is the best video game ever made
Loved Syphon Filter. Am hooked on Ghost Recon Breakpoint now the bugs have been sorted
I loved the Double Dragon games as a kid, but I absolutely hated this movie.
He also played the crow in the tv series, that would be cool too see you guys review.
19:06 one of her other complaints was about banning guns. Then she was found walking around with private security, who was carrying.
Talk about hypocrisy, lol. Rules for thee and none for me.🤦♂️😂
This was the movie based on the neo Geo double Dragon
It's never too late to stop saying Marry-Yo Brothers
WM14 had Shawn vs Austin. Turn in your wrestling card, Antonio.
I WAS ONE OFF!
@@HackTheMovies NO EXCUSES!!! Happy Thanksgiving lol
I saw this in theaters, and while it's not like the game, I loved it. Corny yes, but Fine and Fun.
I iiked this movie. Although, I do recognize it's faults. Scott Wolfe, for one. I watched on Prime recently. It's funny that you mentioned music video directors that move to movies. Samuel Bayer is another one. Went from Smells Like Teen Spirit to the 2010 A Nightmare On Elm Street remake. I believe that the Double Dragon cartoon is closest to the game
I actually bought this movie on Blu-ray. I don't know if it is just my copy, but the lip sync is off. It was a little weird. My DVD didn't have the same problem, but that was a different company that released it.
The cartoon was amazing and it's on Tubi
Instead of dark and gritty mangas, animes, and OVAs based on the Double Dragon trilogy...
DIC instead gave us a cheesy cartoon that feels more like it was based off of Ninja Gaiden.
The budget was only 7.8-million. That's pretty low for a film of this ilk, even for 1994.
Can't say it was a good movie. But also can't say I wasn't entertained! Great video man!
I seen this movie and it's a scream
As a fan of both Arcade games,and Double Dagon Advanced, I will never watch his movie. Bad enough that the NeoGeo version had badly digitised footage from the film in it.
I love this movie you think I'm worse meet my lawyers I love when he said in the movie
Tony said Bimmy!!!!
When?
This guy's nervous habit is somethin'... let me tell ya.
I recently watched this movie. And the only reason I wanted to watch this movie was cause of Alyssa Milano.
Both her and her boyfriend at the time were terrible as Billy and Marian.
Where is mint salad?
I can't say Double Dragon is good...but it is better than it has any right to be.
