I watched this Movie way too many Times Growing up. Im so glad you picked this Movie to look over. I do think that the Actors did the best they could with what they were Given. I kind of Love Koga Shuko he's one of my Favorite Vilnians. well next to that Postman who just Screams "Air Mail!" as he tries to crush Billy and Jimmy.
Vilnian? As in a native of the Lithuanian capital city Vilnius? I also have a few favourites from that town too, such as ex - NBA player Sarunas Marciuliunas... Sorry that was a terrible joke 😂😂😂😂
2:22 FUN FACT! Jeff Imada and Al Leong co-starred, trained, and choreographed alongside Brandon Lee in films such as Showdown in Little Tokyo and Rapid Fire. In my opinion, if Brandon were here, he could've made a badass Billy Lee. Both he and Mark Dacascos would no doubt have so much chemistry together. Not to bag too much on Scott Wolf as an actor, but he slowed Mark down so much in terms of action, leaving him, and Robert, to carry what's left of this movie. It's plagued with bad directing, bad dialogue, bad fight scenes, and bad storytelling. There was so much potential for Double Dragon to be an unironically great movie, but, instead, we ended up with... this. (sigh) One can only dream...
I just realized that This Amulet that's supposed to be Super Important is secured around Billy's Neck with a bit of String or Leather and not like a Gold Chain like Satori seems to Have her Half on.
The guy who played Jimmy. I'm pretty sure we're about the same age and grew up watching the same movies for you not to know who Mark Dacascos is generally mind blowing
Speaking of the Dax/Zach conundrum I honestly thought that Scott Wolf also played Ken in Street Fighter and Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 🤣 It took a Google search to realize Ken was the guy who played Miklo in Blood In/Blood Out(please review this Distracted Nerd!) and Johnny was a guy who seems to be the master of “straight to DVD sequels that nobody asked for or even knew existed” such as Wild Things 2, Mean Girls 2, Anacondas - Trail of Blood and Van Wilder - Freshman Year.
I gasped with such joy and glee when I saw this notification pop up that my husband turned to me and asked me if I was either having a seizure or an orgasm 😂 I told him only other Distracted Nerd fans would understand the happiness you feel when D.N posts a new video
"The Double Dragon Shaggin' Waggon" 😂 BTW, is that the girl from Rambo? She also given Sly a medallion before she dies. Man, movie contracts were so weird in the 80s.
my sister and I absolutely loved the Super Nintendo Double Dragon so we were convinced this movie was going to be fucking awesome...and honestly even back then we knew it was really bad lol
Scott Wolf seems like one of those guys whos career crashes and burns then he disappears and turns up a decade later as a "man who found god" and has 5 children
I think your description is closer to guys Kirk Cameron and Willie Aames but nah looking up Scott Wolf he's had a fairly steady career over the years mostly in TV and even now is in the CW adaptation of Nancy Drew as her dad
While we are on the subject of the Queen how badly timed was your last review mentioning The Queen being killed? You should be ashamed at that! Disgusting!
Best Video Game Adaptation? Go!
Mortal Kombat 95, that might be about it. I always thought Bayou Billy would make a god movie
I'd say the original Resident Evil
River City Ransom would have made a great movie but Hollywood would have just Double Dragoned it
Dead or Alive? Lol
@@chico4105 he already covered MK 95
Dear RUclips. This channel deserves 1 million+ subs. I’m at the point where I just drop comments in the hopes the YT gods pay attention.
Surprised there wasn’t a Party of Five reference in there somewhere

Am I the only one who saw “New Angeles 2007” and was confused on why the set the movie in the past?
I need more sleep.

I have a feeling they were in the 1990 version of TMNT also

Was one of those Asian guys in Bloodsport as that short guy who says "time to protect your nuts guys"
Bimmy and Jimmy
This is now in one of my top favorite Breakdowns...I have this movie downloaded and love how terrible it is hahaha now I'm gonna go watch it 😆
8:48 This movie basically has the same street gangs as the 1979 classic The Warriors.
also BO Abobo when he's Mutated is supposed to look like that Bald Muscly dude from the Double Dragon Games.
Oh snap. I had the Double Dragon Tiger handheld also. Good, low quality times.
Playing that on the way to school is one of my favorite memories
The "overtime" comment got me
I was one of the people in DN's office booing him over that Raphael crack. SIR, HE IS COOL ALBEIT RUDE.
Also, the obligatory "gimme a break" must be applied 🤣🤣🤣
What up Nerds, Freaks, and Geeks ❤🤗
- omg. This ought to be good... Cuz the movie certainly wasn't. 😄😄😄

I never realized this movie was so similar to The Super Mario Bros Movie.
Agreed 💯... Raphael is overrated!!!
Raphael is my favorite. How DARE you sir!!!??? 🐢
Keep up the great work btw. Lol.
My friends and I would get into so many fights about who the best ninja turle was. I miss those days. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!
Not gonna lie, 8 year old me thought this was great, especially since I saw a preview screening.
Great job as always. But, I think we are are still patiently waiting for the Big Trouble in Little China breakdown. 😂
"The Double Dragon Shaggin' Waggon" 😂
BTW, is that the girl from Rambo? She also given Sly a medallion before she dies. Man, movie contracts were so weird in the 80s.
I love Double Dragon, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat games 😁😁😁

The guy who played jimmy, is the host of iron chef lol
I Abobo was one one the Bobos they were looking for in Cop and a half. Shared universe?
It’s a well known fact that The Nerd _was_ HM Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite RUclipsr. Probably.
I feel personally attacked cause Raphael was my favorite turtle 😂
I may have been too harsh. I took a lot of cold medicine prior to recording
@@DistractedNerd As Rick James used to say, NyQuil is a hell of a drug
Wow.. I completely forgot about this hot garbage lol. Damn nerd. You took me back to the church of nostalgia 94.
Raphael is my favorite turtle.

Raphael in the best TMNT.

Sounds like there should be a Naked Gun review coming up.
