Double Dragon, 1994
The Double Dragon video game revolves around twin brothers who fight to rescue the girl they love; however, in its Hollywood rendition, Double Dragon is the story of two "brothers," Billy Lee (Scott Wolf), left, and Jimmy Lee (Mark Dacascos), who fight in a postearthquake Los Angeles for two halves of a mystical medallion. Stylistically, the movie remained faithful to the retro hair and quirky clothing of its 8-bit counterpart, but copious amounts of hair product and campy costumes do not a good movie make.
