Horrible
This is a horribly bad movie. I was a big fan of the video game, and I wanted to see this, but when I watched it, I found out it had little to do with the game. This is worse than the mario bros. movie, which wasn't that good either. Like I said before, don't bother with this movie.

2 STARS FOR MARK DACASCOS ONLY!
I actually enjoyed playing Double Dragon as a kid so I waslooking forward to this movie, a bad mistake!

Set in the futurewe see two brothers (Mark Dacascos and Scott Wolf) become involved in a billionaires (Robert Patrick) plan to achieve ultimate power through a mystical medallion, the Brothers must prevent that from happening as the Double Dragon medallion holds the key to their true power and destiny.

There is plenty of Martial Arts action (Mark is particularily good at this!)and the usual special FX, sounds like it could have been good? (if only that were true! ) However... Scott Wolfs character is... obnoxious, it seemed to me he was trying too hard, he had the 'Look at me syndrome' which thankfully Mark didnt suffer from.

In my humble opinion only Mark Dacascos shone in this movie! if not for him I wouldnt hesitate in giving this a ZERO or a minus rating! However I have generously given 2 stars instead, if you do watch this movie be warned, there are better Game to movie titles available like Mortal Kombat and Wing commander (which wasnt even good! ) So think before you try!

Only like %5 of this movie is similiar to the game.
Watching this film and other video-game to movie translations makes me think that the producers intended to make this film stupid. This movie is tore up from the floor up. I can't even express, in mere words, how HORRIBLE "Double Dragon" is! It seems like the producers main goal was to piss video-game fans off. The Jimmy and Billy Lee of the game are much more buffed out and Jimmy is supposed to have blonde hair. Also, they are twin brothers as far as I know but in the movie one is 19 and the other is 17. And look at the Shadow Master. Eeeaagh! Just about everything in this movie is changed, terribly. What makes the reputation of video-game to movie translations even worse is the fact that they seem like they will never learn from their mistakes. Movies like "Street Fighter:The (live-action) Movie"(very disappointing), "Mortal Kombat:The Movie"(pretty good), "Mortal Kombat:Annihilation"(sloppy), and "Mario Brothers"(pathetic) had great potential, but all four did not prove that their potential could be fulfilled. I beleve they could have been excellent if they were made by the right people. I wouldn't be suprised if they made an even worse sequel to "Double Dragon." If anybody wants to see a martial arts movie, starring Mark Dacascos, they should check out "Drive".
