Double Dragon, the 90s cult classic movie based on the ultra popular video game is finally coming home to Blu0ray and DVD for the first time ever on January 22!
From director James Yukich (Shawn Mendes: Live at the Greek Theatre), producers Don Murphy (Transformers,Natural Born Killers), Jane Hamsher (From Hell) and Alan Schechter (Showdown), with a screenplay written by Michael Davis (Shoot ‘Em Up) and Emmy® Award Winner Peter Gould (Better Call Saul,Breaking Bad) comes the cult classic movie based on the video game smash hit.
Double Dragonroars to life with amazing special effects, spectacular action sequences, and a knock-about sense of humor. It’s the year 2007, and what remains of LA is now ‘‘New Angeles’’, a city ravaged by earthquakes, tidal waves and vicious gangs. The evil tycoon Koga Shuko (Robert Patrick,Terminator 2: Judgment Day) is obsessed with finding the two halves of a talisman known as the ‘‘Double Dragon’’, which will give him awesome mystical powers. Two teenaged brothers, Jimmy (Mark Dacascos,John Wick 3) and Billy Lee (Scott Wolf,Party of Five) find themselves in possession of the amulet’s missing half, thrusting them into the adventure of their lives. With the help of Maria (Alyssa Milano, Charmed) and her vigilante group ‘‘The Power Corps’’, Jimmy and Billy must summon all of their courage, resourcefulness and martial-arts skills to stop the villain’s malevolent plan.
