Every extra looks ridiculous and is annoying as hell, with most of it playing out like some bastard child from a Power Rangers episode! Is there anything good in Double Dragon I hear you ask? Well, yes if I'm honest. Haunted by that typical mid nineties costume department that helped make a lot of then films look naff, there is pretty much nothing in this 90 minutes of madness that stays true to the game. For many years you have astounded us with your inability to chose directors that know what they are doing, that suit the project in action, or generally just can't stop ruining great things! Taking a documentary film maker and handing him one of the ultimate and most popular games of that time, should have been the first sign to the studio fat cats that this was going to be as much of a success as the previous years, Super Mario Bros. Its only saving grace is its two gorgeous leading men who give us some decent fight scenes and a number of funny enough one liners! In my opinion - Hollywood, oh Hollywood. In a nutshell - Embarrassing acting from most cast members, all but Dacascos, Wolf and Nickson, that only adds to the unintentional humour, terrible make-up, costumes and direction. With vehicles powered by burning rubbish, police curfews, buildings held up by jacks, and lots of colourful clothes and bad jeans, we enter the god awful world of James Yukich's Double Dragon. One of my favourite childhood games gets the typical nineties Hollywood makeover and only just entertains for all the wrong reasons! Set in the future, well, if our year of 2007 really turned out like this, in the city of New Angeles.
