5/6/2023 0 Comments Double dragon cartoon movieThe handful of structures that are still standing are topped with huge “smog fans,” and Andy Dick shows up as a TV weatherman to warn of dangerous “black rain,” never mind that whenever anyone goes outside the weather is beautiful, clear and sunny. Scott Wolf from TV’s Party of Five plays hotheaded Billy Lee, who I guess we’re supposed to like because he’s kind of a jerk? He is definitely Poochying way too hard. (Seriously, were there no dorky white guys available who could act like they knew how to fight?) An early-career Mark Dacascos plays his more even-tempered brother Jimmy, who at least actually knows martial arts instead of just mugging at the camera, which is about all Billy ever does. Perhaps more importantly, Robert Patrick, just three years past his famous portrayal of the T-1000 in Terminator 2, plays the villainous Koga Shuko, “the richest man in the world,” who wants the Double Dragon medallion so that he can have total control of New Angeles. This seems like a fairly modest goal, all things considered, since he basically seems to run the city already. Just about everything we see throughout the film is branded by his company, with one of the film’s best gags being a box of “Shuko Krispies” on the breakfast table. (It’s just a regular box of Rice Krispies – the top flap even still has that name on it – with Snap, Crackle, and Pop all wearing giant black wraparound sunglasses.)Īs Koga Shuko – whose real name is much whiter, but, as he puts it in the movie, “Nobody wants to party with Victor Guisman” – Patrick has bleached blonde hair that’s black at the sides, a movie villain goatee and, of course, shades that he wears indoors.
