Met Robert Patrick at Motor City Comic Con a few years back. I said “bummed you don’t have any pictures of Koga Shuko to sign” and his face was priceless, he just said “yeahhhhhhh”
Bless you for doing the lord's work brother. 😜🤘
Omg I've seen this movie so many times, it used to be on HBO all the time when I was a kid. Never realized that Koga Shuko was the T1000.
I hope he fired his agent for that one.
I wish they made a Double Dragon movie, man!
*_WISH: YOUR ORDER HAS ARRIVED, SIR..._*
As a fan of the game I was stoked about the movie before it came out. I thought it was gonna be a gritty movie about old school gangs fighting through NOT L.A. and then I saw this. I should have just watched the warriors again.
I shunned this movie from my memory so hard, I coulda swore Damian Chapas played Bimmy
Truth. The original Arcade DD was my favorite game as a kid. I could finish it on one credit, and knew several glitches, even one that could make it give me a free game. How gritty it was made me think it would be like The Warriors, MAD Max, and enter the Dragon all combined...but we got this silly movie lol
@@cyberdelicxp9125 Actual glitches? Or just making the bad guys commit suicide? Plus, anyone can beat it on one credit if they just throw elbows all the time. Style points matter.
Or just simply watch Double Impact, which is what the true Double Dragon movie should have been like too!
We all had that “perfect movie” imagined in our heads back then. I had the same thing going for street fighter and then reality broke my spirit.
Alyssa Milano's finest acting since her Twitter outbursts.
The blonde pixie hairdo looks surprisingly good on her!
@@markiangooley I have conflicting emotions for her
One of my comfort movies. This film really helped me when i was alone in a new state.
The Mummy 99' is that for me. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I pop that boy in and it immediately makes my day better lol
@@ethicalcheeze1407 oh no doubt. I actually pop that bad boy in for some background music when I'm doing things.
@Jonathan kwabquack Dafuq does the colour of his hair have to do with it?
i hope you weren't a homeless clown in 2007 Los Angelos then ! LOL
Fun Fact: The actor that plays as "Abobo" in Double Dragon plays as another character named "Mr. Bobo" in the movie Cop and a Half with Burt Reynolds. He's got a knack for playing bobos, I guess
Wow cool story!
Can you tell it again? Do you have time?
Double the dragons, double the awesome. Always good to see the T-1000
This movie is a prime example of how Mark Dacascos was severely unused and underrated during his prime in the 90's and early 2000's.
Facts
He was in a movie called “Drive”. It had some of the fight scenes in action movie history
@@reganbruce81 it had some of the fight scenes in action movie history
I think you might have forgotten a word or two there.
This movie actually killed his career. Oddly enough a stand in for Brandon Lee after his passing. After this he was stuck in straight to video hell. And his performances got worse the longer it went on. Makes me wonder if the movie would have been much different if Brandon Lee did live to be in this. Wonder if it would have killed his career.
Y'all have the weirdest taste
That guy is the worsttttttttttttttt 😬
I watched this movie a hundred times as a kid. I liked it even though it's cheese. But I have NEVER noticed the Seagalian Karate on Abobo's stats. That is now the best part of the movie for me.
Can you explain the reference to me? I don't get the significance :/
@@joebro391 The idea is that in the future of 2007, Steven Seagal has his own style of karate.
@@sadpacman3290 oh shoot! That's hilarious 😂
@@joebro391 It's even funnier in retrospect now that we see what's become of Seagal and where he was even in the real 2007.
Yeah, that part didn't age well! 😂
Mark Dacascos and Kadeem Hardison had a movie called “Drive” that may be worth a Red Eye Review. 🤭
Oh I haven't seen Drive in so long lol. For sure I'll check it out again
This is a good example of a "kitchen sink" movie: the makers threw in everything they could think of, in the hope it would work.
Great pick & review. “ONLY THE STRONG” is a good Dacascos movie. A dance fighting movie also!
I'd rather watch Tina belcher try her hand at capoeira
Crying Freeman is his best along with Brotherhood of the wolf.. in my opinion at least)
@@MrChillywilly7 Also Drive! Drive is my favourite Marc Dacascos movie. But I do love your picks :)
I FORGOT Alissa Milano was in this. But I REMEMBER having a childhood crush on this actress, and it now makes sense why I always have felt that I liked her a TON but couldn't remember from where.
Double Dragon is the greatest movie ever.
-some guy without pants
Redeye's mail jokes were on point.
He knows how to deliver them. (This coming from mailman)😄
His jokes are a real priority.
One of the movies that the USA network would play at 2am and I'd stay up just to watch every time. To me, the most famous person besides the Terminator was the guy who played Gary in the Weird Science series. (He's the one without bench press stats)
I am sooo happy you did this review! I've wanted this movie so many times as a kid and didn't even know it was based on a video game. Loved every second of it's ridiculousness.
I thought it was impossible to make 90s Alyssa Milano unattractive, yet they somehow did it.
i bet ole Red Eye has no idea who she is
And this was shortly before she did Embrace of the Vampire to show her sexiness.
@@Anynom hell yeah i remember that one
Sir, i respectfully disagree. She is still smoking hot even with short hair.
She was still hot
iii will never forget this film as a kid 😂
Ah, a guilty pleasure of mine and funny as this was as Alyssa Milano was changing up her image after teen fame and just a nutty film.
Watch her in poison ivy 2 she gets nude,worth watching for sure.another movie she was trying to prove she wasn't a kid anymore,I hate when actresses do that.
What a glorious mess! Another channel I watch just did a deep dive review of 'Brotherhood of the Wolf', which is an awesome film and also stars Dacascos, who is awesome, so it's good to see him getting more love and respect
Mark Dacascos is a very under rated martial artist. Crying Freeman 1997 is a great Manga adaptation with an impressive cast. Drive 1997 is an American version of a Golden Harvest film by Steve Wang. China Strike Force 2000 is a fun Chinese Action movie with Coolio.
You know it's a cheesy 80's style action film when the woman with the secret amulet is wearing it around her neck out in the open. Not exactly the safest place to keep such a powerful medallion. No? Oh, and those camouflage graffiti suits? Brilliant. Another awesome review. Time to watch, "Double Dragon", somewhere in China.
Favorite quotes:
"Gonna feel that one in four to seven business days."
"Just because it's a tuna sandwich, does not mean it belongs in the ocean."
"Do you realize there's a guy trying to interview you with a glow stick?"
Fat bastard went to the gym, fucking hilarious, absolutely true. Thanks for this review so awesome sir, I think Mark dacascos movies would make a good addition to karate korner. And the only bad thing about this movie is they don't get the cool outfits until the last 20 min of the movie.
My god! This IS Robert Patrick!!!!
I like this movie as I'm a fan of Mark and a life long martial artist and still this review is yet another brilliantly done and absolutely hilarious one 😂
I admit, I liked this movie as a kid. And Robert Patrick is way too good to be in here...XD
I saw this movie and I lost all memory about it until today 🤣💔
Double Dragons one of the biggest game of the late 80s early 90s man everyone had ether the NES version or the little portable version of the game and playing it at recess when bring back memories
Pfft real gamers like me had on the Amiga 500
Love these movie reviews! Keep them coming!!
"This is better than a movie" - things not normally said when talking about Double Dragon (1994).
I don't even have to watch the video. I love it already. Because it's redeye review.
9:11 “yeah I was in a movie once. I basically swung a bag around menacingly in the background”
My dad took me and brother to see this in the theaters when it came out. That’s the one and only time I’ve ever watched this movie 😂
I love Double Dragon and still watch this movie…SATORI is a smoke show🔥
Update: Bo’Bo Abobo is a goon in several Seagal movies…he’s a goon in the slap hand game in On Deadly Ground🙌🏾
I don't understand how a person who usually makes such fantastic and INFORMATIVE content can go through an entire video - watching the movie, taking notes, writing the script, recording, editing, etc., while getting one of the main characters' names wrong!
Uh, it's Jimmy and BIMMY.
Lol. Very true
I specifically remember my mom wouldn't let me watch this movie (I was like 4)
Thanks mom!
Tagline should have been, “You thought Street Fighter and Super Mario Bros were sh1t? You ain’t seen nothing yet…”
Naw Mario was way worse.
This movie had it coming. Mark Dacascos is a badass indeed, but having to carry Scott Wolf, more than anyone could bare. Poor Robert Patrick too.
Nice man!! I haven't been here in a few weeks, glad to see you're up to 33k 😃😃😃😃. Been super busy at work having had time to watch but I do today 👍
Ninja Power Time is definitely not a bad title. As a matter of fact I am gonna start saying that phrase whenever something of unique skill or strength is required. Usually I just say “By the power of Greyskull!” Whenever I do some heavy lifting. But “NINJA POWER TIME!!” Is much more universal to say?
Lol it's official then. Ninja Power Time forever!!
8:38 Broke my heart when I found out Iron Chef wasn’t “real”. I guess I *really* wanted to believe a man with more money than sense would build a kitchen arena and have chefs do food battles.
7:02 Julia Nickson. She was in Rambo 2 and Side Kicks with Chuck Norris.
Another hilarious send-up. The worse the movie, the better your bits! Wishing you health & happiness as well.
Thank you so much Jesse :) I hope all is well in your life
You shoukd check out Crying Freeman staring Mark Dacascos it's a live action version of an anime movie its a lot of fun and the fight scenes are pretty darn good.
Brandon Tenold did a great review of that flick, highly recommend checking out his channel, as well as Good Bad Flicks if you haven't already.
@@Axolotl_Mischief Brandon's review is awesome that's why I want to see a review by someone else who's just as funny and goodbad flicks is another awesome channel too.
I appreciate the reviewing of the Doubled Dragon!
The future may be grim, but at least we moved to the metric system.
Great cameo of the game. I don't think the writers ever played it. 😊😊😊
All of that screaming reminded me of the Reb Brown movies.
Those movies would be really fun for the channel. It's the kinda delicious shlock that'd go really well with your style of commentary!
This is how you start a Saturday!
I fully admit that thicc, shaved-head Alyssa Milano in thigh-high boots and short shorts is a huge reason to enjoy watching this.
The 90s was a hell of a time to be alive.
RedEye, you been readin my journal?
Good movies recently
Mark was amazing in the movie, "Only the strong" Hope that goes up one day...if not, I'll definitely put that up if I get a chance to pick a poll option 😀
Ok, I was a kid when this movie came out. AAAAAAAANNNND. I LOVED THIS! This movie was for me! I was the EXACT age required to think this was a good movie, and not only did I think it was a good movie, but an AMAZING movie. Mind you, my other FAVORITE movies were in order: Super Mario Brothers, Surf Ninjas, 3 Ninjas, Jackie Chan's Rumble in the Bronx, and Sidekicks with Chuck Norris. With honorable mentions of every other karate and kung fu movie I could get my hands on. But this movie was just [kisses fingers] [muah] perfect.
Thanks for covering a favorite I forgot about!
The Tower part freaked me out so much in the day
Damn! Every zinger in this video got me. You, Sir, are a genius!
The thumbnail is EVERYTHING 😂👌
I loved this movie as a kid! I even had a tape of the first episode of the cartoon. Tried to watch the movie a few months ago and went straight to sleep lol
Of course Al Leong is in this. Is there any movie between 1985 and 1995 that he wasn't in?
Comedies, romances, courtroom dramas...anything that didn't need a small-but-menacing dude who was going to be doing action stuff.
One of the best henchmen to ever hench!!! I love it when he pops up!!!
It's always funny, watching a movie that postulated wild changes only a few years after it was made. Blade Runner, at least, was looking nearly 40 years into the future. While Double Dragon is certainly no Blade Runner it still expects the audience to buy into the idea that in just a few years, everything is going to be way different.
Of course, given the rest of the movie the futuristic aspects (which are now part of an alternate past) are hardly worth noticing, given the supernatural aspects and the considerable differences from believeable motivations (particularly the woman closing the door in order to get blow'd up).
such strange marketing for this. i recall it being pushed pretty hard w/ toys and merch out the a**! great video ! keep em comin!
Ah yes, the greatest characters in movie history: Mohhawk Sumo, Random Kid getting Knocked TF Out, and Falling Mailman-Man.
Good shit as always Red😂😂
i got this movie in ome of those old 2 for 1 dollar vhs ads back in the 90s. Man i watched this movie so damn much. Never played double dragon until after that movie and decided the movie was way better lol
Fun fact: After watching this movie I noticed a particular name that was behind idea for a story. The one and only Paul Dini. Yup, the same one who wrote episodes of 90s Batman TAS.
What is ALSO important sir is that we've got Al 'Endo' Leong from the very beginning 1:38 !
Not only did I see this movie when it came out... I saw it in the theater... and to make matters worse, I convinced several friends to come with me to see it in the theater. I never lived that one down. LOL
I still think Iron Chef should have used alligator tail as a secret ingredient and called it "Godzilla!"
😁 thank you for this one!!! ❤️
Good evening. You have a new sub here. I love your channel. I love movies.
Oh man I used to love this movie and watching this movie recap I find that in a lot of ways I still do. It's one of those it's so bad it's great movies! Can't wait to force my wife to watch it with me... Who am I kidding she could barely get through the original Mortal Kombat movie, and refused to watch the sequel no matter how hard I tried!
Car chases? Boat chases? This was more of a Spy Hunter movie than Double Dragon.
I love the t-1000!
This channel is literally my childhood
Fear of furniture...? My lord, that can't be real...
This movie was picked by patreon Tony the Tiger? This movie stars Scott Wolf, who started his career in a Kelloggs Frosted Flakes commercial where he plays tennis with.....Tony the Tiger. And he's grrrrreat!
Hahaha this theory is the only correct one
You know what you should review? Only the strong.
The only "celebrity" I ever met was the guy who played the blue dude. He also played Jennifer Love Hewitt's boyfriend Bailey on Party of Five.
Honestly surprised no mention of Paul "Batman: The Animated Series, I'm the only reason anyone from the '90's cared about the DC Universe" Dini being involved in this cinematic swampfire.
O wow!!! The girl is from Rambo first blood part II. Never noticed this when i watched this film. And i did watch this film at least five times or so. I played a lot of Super Double Dragon and that why i did kind of like this one. Same thing goes for Streetfighter and Mortal Kombat back then.
Most of the Budget must have gone into Bo's Costume
How did you know I’m ugly!?
Seagalian??? He's an expert in mumbling and sitting down?🤣🤣🤣
And waddling🤣🤣🤣🤣
And snatching birthdays
I wasn't going to watch this review but in the thumbnail, I was curious to see who the blonde babe was. I didn't realize it was Alyssa Milano. Hot!
Other than that, I'm glad I watched it. I don't have to see the full movie now. The zipper zinger and the commentary on the greediness of the Hollywood tour business were highlights. But now the joy is over and I'll probably forget I watched it.
Did you realize that the bad guy with the bleach blonde flat top and goatee is the liquid terminator from terminator 2?
The clown car joke did it!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love some of the games in the Double Dragon franchise. This movie is utterly stupid, but kind of fun. I love Robert Patrick. And it's got some really funny moments, both intentional and unintentional.
I even got the special edition Blu-ray with all the fun bonus behind the scenes features.
This was a fun video, but I'm honestly just slightly disappointed. There's so much to rip on in this movie, I had hoped your video would be a little longer.
suprised you didnt mention the GOAT of all henchmen AL LEONG!
The Super Mario movie has the same level of ridiculousness, even more lol
Alyssa is mwah in this. When she gets up when they come under attack. Wowzers.
Watch her in poison ivy 2 she gets nude in that and it's definitely worth watching.
I, forgot this channel existed. More Steven Seagal videos
That kid caught it hard at 3:16. Got dayum!
I for one was crushing on Alysaa Milano with that short blond hair.
Dude i loved this movie as a kid its part of my guilty pleasurers right along with the super Mario movie!
Man, the producers of this movie clearly didn't care enough about this movie to even get the names right, evidenced by the fact they call him Billy.
I saw this movie in theaters as a kid. It came out in the initial wave of video game movies before Uwe Boll. It was, at least, better than Super Mario Brothers.
Not even Uwe Boll could make a movie this memorable.
Awesome channel. Dudes commentary is great. Next movie shoild be Street Fighter.
Love Robert Patrick, but man, he should've been riding higher after that T2 clout a year earlier.
14:57 Whoa Jesse Eisenberg is older than I thought.
I mean, it's Robert Patrick...
