Double Dragon

In a post-apocalyptic 2007 Los Angeles, the city is overrun by street gangs. Martial arts brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee must retrieve the two halves of the magical Double Dragon amulet before the evil Shadow Khan can harness its power for global domination. Facing dangerous gangs and internal conflict, they rely on their fighting skills and the help of fellow martial artist Marian Delario to save the city.

Double Dragon was a critical and commercial disappointment, widely panned for its nonsensical plot, poor acting, and low-quality special effects. It is often cited as one of the worst video game adaptations ever made.

• Lacks the charisma and excitement of its video game source material.
• Plagued by a convoluted plot and uninspired performances.
• Special effects and action sequences are generally considered weak and unconvincing.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate disappointment with the film's storyline and the execution of its action sequences. Many felt it failed to capture the spirit of the original game.

Nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film (1995).

The film was originally intended to be a more serious, R-rated martial arts film but was rewritten and toned down to a PG-13 rating during production, leading to significant creative compromises.
