We'll just save our quarters on this one thank you very much! Will, Mike, and Sam take on their first video game movie and reinforce why trying to adapt a video game for the big screen is rarely ever a good idea in 1994's Double Dragon. Featuring Robert Patrick as the villain and Alyssa Milano in the female lead as Marian, the film takes the relatively simple premise of the game it is based off of, throws it out of the window, and substitutes it for a "family-friendly" tone and enough 90s cheesiness to attract mice. Over the top (and not in a good way), but the Commit One crew is here to charge through it but still wishing the studio would have said "game over" on this one.
