Trivia
In 1994, Universal released Double Dragon, the movie. Starring Mark Dacascos as Jimmy Lee, Scott Wolf as Billy Lee, Alyssa Milano as Maria, and Robert Patrick as Koga Shuko, the evil gang leader. In the year 2007, what was once called Los Angeles is now "New Angeles", a city half destroyed by the Big One in 2000. The city is now a metropolis out of Hell. Earthquakes, and tidal waves are part of the day. The smog is so dangerously thick that huge fans are on top of buildings to blow it away and phone booths are oxygen booths. The Hollywood River has overflowed, making many famous landmarks are a mere wreck. The urban areas that once stood in the South all the way to Long Beach are in the ocean. By day the police are out doing their jobs and normal people go about their lives, but their is a curfew. At night, the police and people lock their doors and the gangs emerge causing mayhem. Many known gangs are the "Mohawks", and "Gloves". The only ones who go out and fight the gangs is a group of kids and teens called "The Power Corps". The story is Shuko is doing all he can to acquire the Double Dragon. While he has one half, the Lees have the other. It becomes Good V.S Evil as the Lees, along with the Power Corps leader, Maria, to team for some good old butt-kicking action to defeat Shuko from using the Double Dragon to take over "N.A". All in all, the movie was unsuccessful.
