Individually and collectively, they barely register. Neither is remotely believable as a teenager. Wolf and Dacascos don’t look like brothers.
The problems start with the leads: Scott Wolf, a tiny Jewish TV heartthrob seemingly chosen due to his vague resemblance to Ralph Macchio as teenaged fighting progeny as Billy Lee, and, as his brother Jimmy, Mark Dacascos, a gentleman of Filipino, Spanish, Chinese, Irish and Japanese ancestry seemingly chosen for fighting chops he doesn’t get to show off much here despite this being an action movie. I thought about this a lot during Cannon month, but why, for the love of God, would grown men choose to fight in jeans? Aren’t they a singular combination of constraining and uncomfortable? I mean, sure, Chuck Norris had his own line of action jeans specifically designed to facilitate impactful and stylish kicking but in actuality physical skirmishes in jeans are as aesthetically unappealing to watch as they must be uncomfortable to fight.Īh, but there’s so, so much more wrong with Double Dragon than its unfortunate, almost Jay Leno-level fondness for denim.

It’s an even more perplexing look for the goddamn stars of a would-be action movie franchise. It was a terrible look for me as a disgruntled teenager.
