Housands of years ago in ancient China, a benign king created a mystical medallion to save his people from terrorization at the hands of the evil shadow warriors. The artifact (a spiritual amplifier), shaped like a dragon, was eventually split in two – leading to the legend of the Double Dragon. In present day (New Angeles, 2007, after the big quake) Victor Geistman, aka Koga Shuko (Robert Patrick), has his henchwoman, Linda Lash (Kristina Malandro Wagner, who gets punched in the face no less than four times throughout the picture), retrieve half of the magical pendant from Chinese monks. Meanwhile, teenagers Jimmy Lee (Mark Dacascos, a talented martial artist) and his brother Billy (Scott Wolf, boasting no martial arts expertise), along with legal guardian Satori (Julia Nickson-Soul), leave a karate match, which finds them in a bad neighborhood after dark.īut in order to achieve total domination, Shuko needs its mate – still secreted away in a safe place. Tattooed, pierced, wild-haired, black-leather-clad punks comb the streets, looking for easy targets to rob and attack. The Double Dragons Billy Lee Raised by the Oldest Dragon after being left at the Dragon Dojo by his father John Lee to. This leads to a car chase between the Lee’s armored, flame-spewing station wagon and two gangsters’ tank-like tactical vehicle.

These opening sequences resemble “The Warriors” and the Mad Max films, though with an overt tongue-in-cheek flavor (along the lines of “Big Trouble in Little China”). Typically life-and-death encounters incite only cheesy one-liners from the Lees, and a bored, hands-in-pockets pose from Satori. There’s also a “Robocop” vibe, in which commercials and newscasts shed light on sociopolitical elements of this moderately bleak, postapocalyptic future. A citywide curfew, notable climate change (like black rain and toxic pollution), and an unchecked anarchy that runs rampant at night are just a few of the televised commentaries. Plus, Madonna and Tom Arnold’s marriage has ended.
And a vigilante gang called the Power Corp (led by the young but rebellious Marian ) picks up where the police are unable to venture, battling for justice when the authorities opt instead to negotiate with known criminals.
