This Ain't No Game: Double Dragon

To the user about DOA:

It's awesome. If you know the DOA games you'll love the movie. Not because it's good - it's bad. But the movie already knows it's bad, so they run with it. So it kinda turns out to be a really fun B movie. I saw it with a bunch of friends the day the movie came out and we were the only ones in the theatre pretty much. It was awesome.

I'd like to see one of these done for the Silent Hill movie. Might not be completely true to the games but it remains as one of the only videogame based movies I've actually enjoyed.

good idea
but you guys need more writers

God that movie was horrible, even as a kid who grew up loving Double Dragon I was embarrassed to even find myself watching that piece of crap halfway through it.

Now don't get me wrong I LOVE horrible movies but only movies that are meant to be horrible from the start and make no bones about it. Think Troma. (God I love Troma movies)

But this movie came out in theaters back in the day not straight to video and is an absolute turd.

Don't take it personally though cause' this is a great feature and I was anticipating it since before Giant Bomb was even a full website, so in that aspect thanks and keep up the great work guys.

Awesome Feature 

Awesome MORE PLEASE!

Oustanding! I can't wait for the Super Mario Bros edition. And could we come up with a list of movies that have a bad guy who's looking for the other half of a mystical artifact, which is usually held/pusued by the heroes?

I'm digging this. This is gonna get good in the future.

Amazing
This is the rising of Giantbomb I hereby declare

I can't wait for the Street Fighter movie review.

Fun Fact: their is never any scenes or even talk about a fighting championship match in a movie based on a game that entirely took place in a fighting tournament. It's all some ridiculous war that for some reason ends with a kung fu match. I'm serious here. You really kind of got to admire it actually.

Please dear god continue this !!!!!! it was really funny and good !

Holy shit that's a looooong list.

Haha, I can't wait to see more of these.

MORTAL KOMBAT NEXT PLEEEASE!!!!111

Super Mario Bros....fuck, that flick was awful.

Work of genius, please do D.O.A next, it is hard to sit through, but with Ryan, it should be a blast!

This feature is going to be awesome!

Nice review Ryan... but, it's missing something... what would The Nostalgia Critic say?

"ITS THE MOST SHIT-SMACKING WHORE-EATING DISGUSTING PIECE OF RETRO ASS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE...no,  THAT STILL DOESN'T SEEM TO SUM UP HOW BAD IT IS!"

Yeah, that works. God I love that man.

Lol at the low rent pink line.  Keep it going ryan!  Next week has to be street fighter. 

Good idea. I like it :)

That wood-panelling is FUCKING AWESOME!

TANG. It's a kick in a glass.

YOW! TANG! IT'S OUTTA CONTROL!

Great feature guys, please bring us more.

I'm guessing you guys chose the worst video game movie you could think of to kick things off.  If so, well done, gentlemen!

Max Payne...

Wow, that looks...horrible. Can't wait to see how Hollywood will do a total disservice to a video game next!

Very funny, I dont remember ever watching that movie... I think.

Crazzy characters haha

Nice ryan

Good job Ryan.

Awesome review Ryan!

Awesome! Can´t wait for the next movie! Plenty of bad movies to choose from... Kind of weird that so many of these movies are based on fighting game; Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead Or Alive, Double Dragon. Looking forward to : Super Mario Bros. (This Ain't No Game, It's a Live-Action Thrill Ride! )

That was great Ryan, looking forward to more. 

Does anybody know the song that is playing in the car chase?

Nice love the new video stuff. more videos.....
on a side note great intro, Ryan was way dazed and deep in that popcorn, penny for your thoughts. (i should have started with mario)
one question what about moves that were later made into games!!! even more stuff to talk about then. e.g the Goonies that was made into a sequel just in game form!!!
so you should talk about the movies that started them and what the games messed up. start with the goonies, plzzzzzzzzzz as that is one of the greatest  films ever made, just sayin. greatest.........

Great video, I'll have to see if we have that movie when I go to work tomorrow.

Is it weird that watching this makes me want to go out and rent this movie right now?

That was cool, im a big fan of really bad movies. 

Oh man I'm glad I never saw this when I was a kid, this is probably the most footage I've ever seen of it.

I like this. Keep it going!

Ryan looked quite happy in that last shot.

Great idea for a vid series.  Keep on roflin'!

This is a great start to another awesome GiantBomb only thing.

cool feature.

i've seen some movies and from what i've seen MORTAL KOMBAT is the best one then second place RESIDENT EVIL TRILOGY and third SILENT HILL although I found doom to be ok not great but ok and even street fighter (bad movie) is better than double dragon, tomb raider movies are ok, like Hitman too was ok.

I'm looking forward to what ryan has to say on Mortal Kombat,Resident Evil Trilogy, Hitman, Max Payne Doom and Tomb Raider

Here is the list of Videogame Movies and a very long one so I guess Ryan has lots of movies to watch.
