Double Dragon (1994)
2/10
Dumb dialog, poor acting and the director was apparently a possum!

If you are looking for a genre filled with great films, I suggest you never consider movies based on videogames. This is because many of these films are among the worst movies you can find...with MANY on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 List. "Double Dragon" is no exception to the rule...it, too, is a bad movie based on a videogame.

The story is a confusing bit on nonsense set in the dystopain world of New Angeles in 2007. This world is filled with evil gangs and it has a strong "Mad Max" look to it. In other words, it's a lot like Los Angeles in real life. The heroes are two dopey guys and a lady who, ineplicably, CAN actually act (Julia Nickson)...so I have no idea why she's in the film. The trio spend much of the movie fighting some baddie and being chased by his minions...all over some medallions which I couldn't have cared less about nor could many in the audience based on the reviews.

The film has many problems going for it...bad acting, terrible dialog and, I kid you not, the director was apparently a possum! The film is terrible and silly...and not even worth watching to see some tiny cameos by Vanna White, George Hamilton, Andy Dick or Alyssa Milano. Is it among the worst movies based on videogames....possibly not. But only because there are so many crap films based on videogames!!
