What happens

Double Dragon also titled fully as Double Dragon: The Power of the Medallion is a 1994 American martial arts film, based on the video game series of the same name. Starring Mark Dacascos and Scott Wolf as brothers Jimmy and Billy Lee, along with Alyssa Milano as Marian Delario and Robert Patrick as antagonist Koga Shuko, the plot takes place in an earthquake-crippled Los Angeles in 2007; the city is styled as a mix between a post-apocalyptic and 80s/90s punk environment. It failed both critically and financially, receiving generally negative reviews, with some critics praising its special effects and action sequences, but panning its writing and performances.
