This week on Last Night We Watched, we’re diving into the neon-lit, post-apocalyptic chaos of Double Dragon (1994)! Based on the classic beat-em-up video game, this action-packed (and wildly campy) adaptation throws martial arts, 90s cyberpunk aesthetics, and over-the-top villainy into a blender—whether it works is up for debate.
Join us as we break down the bizarre plot, questionable CGI, and the undeniable charm of Mark Dacascos and Scott Wolf as the Lee brothers. Plus, Robert Patrick as a bleached-blond crime lord? We’ve got thoughts. Is Double Dragon a misunderstood cult classic or just another casualty of the dreaded "video game movie curse"? Tune in and find out!
