The first story, the one directed by Romero, tells the story about a trophy wife who, together with her sick husband’s doctor, hatches a scheme to keep the husband under hypnosis in order to get all of his money. How could it go wrong? Well, it does, big time. Romero and Dario Argento, seems like a slam dunk. Rating: R (graphic horror violence and gore, and language)īringing together two of horror’s biggest director, George A. Valdemar)įranco Ferrini and Dario Argento (The Black Cat)ĭirected by George A. Starring: Adrienne Barbeau, Ramy Zada, Bingo O'Malley, Jeff Howell, E.G. Release Date: October 25th, 1991 (theatrical) “The Shadow Falls” Animated Pilot (4m 21s, SD, stretched 16x9)īehind the Scenes Featurette (4m 21s, SD, 1.33:1) Overall, this is a worthwhile purchase and something that needs to be looked at again.ĭon Murphy: Portrait of a Producer (24m 1s, HD) There is also an interview with the film’s producer, a lot of behind the scenes footage, a few still galleries, and trailers for Double Dragon as well as some of the other action films that MVD Visual has released. We also get the pilot episode to the Double Dragon cartoon that would be the basis for the Double Dragon 5 video game. There is an hour-long making of that gives a really great glimpse at the semi-troubled production. The special features package will make even the most die-hard fan happy. The picture and the sound are good for the budget that the film had to be made on. The blu-ray, from MVD Visual as part of their “Rewind Collection”, is pretty nice. While you can do way better than Double Dragon, this film is not to be overlooked if you like cheesy 90s action films. Lots of martial arts action as well as some cheesy one-liners. This is one of the most 90s films you will ever see and that is not necessarily a bad thing. The actors are clearly having fun and the film never feels like it is ever being taken seriously. The film, despite having almost nothing to do with the video game it is based on, is actually kind of fun. Based on the 1987 arcade beat ‘em up, Double Dragon tells the story of the Lee brothers who must battle Robert Patrick for the “double dragon” a necklace that comes in two parts that, when joined, gives the wearer or wearers powers that are never properly explained. While that film saw failure, it did not deter filmmakers from trying to do right by video games.

Subtitles: English SDH, Spanish, and French Release Date: November 4th, 1994 (theatrical) Studio: MVD Visual (as part of their Rewind Collection)
