Didn't see this one coming...

Coming December 11, 2018... MVD REWIND COLLECTION #13

DOUBLE DRAGON (Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray + DVD]

EVIL HAS JUST MET ITS MATCH!

From producers Don Murphy (Transformers franchise), Jane Hamsher (Natural Born Killers), Alan Schechter (Showdown), writers Michael Davis (Shoot 'Em Up) and Emmy® Award Winner* Peter Gould (''Better Call Saul'', ''Breaking Bad'') comes the cult classic movie based on the video game smash!

Double Dragon roars to life with amazing special effects, spectacular action sequences, and a knock-about sense of humor. It's the year 2007 in the not-so-distant future and what remains of L.A. is now ''New Angeles'', a city ravaged by earthquakes, tidal waves and vicious gangs. The evil tycoon Koga Shuko (Robert Patrick, Terminator 2: Judgment Day) is obsessed with finding the two halves of a talisman known as the ''Double Dragon'', which will give him awesome mystical powers. Two teenaged brothers, Jimmy (Mark Dacascos, John Wick 3) and Billy Lee (Scott Wolf, ''Party of Five'') find themselves in possession of the amulet's missing half, thrusting them into the adventure of their lives. With the help of Maria (Alyssa Milano, ''Charmed'') and her vigilante group ''The Power Corps'', Jimmy and Billy must summon all of their courage, resourcefulness and martial-arts skills to stop the villain's malevolent plan.

Crackling with the energy and humor of its two heroes, Double Dragon is a high-octane action spectacular. Buckle your seatbelt and enjoy the ride!

Nice been wanting to replace my old DVD of this. I think Goodtimes released it.

You should have seen it coming Ian, cause it is part of the same rights package with Black Eagle, Lionheart, Sabotage w. Mark Dacascos and a bunch of Albert Pyun titles, that have recently been released in every country one buys DVDs. (Uk, Germany, Sweden, France, and now the US of A)

On topic:

This is one of the worst films ever made IMO. Unwatchable garbage. And not in the good way.

Eric D. Wilkinson, who oversees the MVD Rewind Collection shares his enthusiasm for this release. "Double Dragon was arguably one of my favorite projects for the Rewind Collection. This release marks the first time Double Dragon will be available on Blu-ray and in HD in North America! Special features producer Richard Schenkman and I worked tirelessly to create some amazing brand new bonus material that includes a feature length "making of" documentary that I know collectors will love. These new bonus features along with some great archival bonus material and the addition of the pilot of the "Double Dragon" animated television series (courtesy of Invincible Entertainment), MVD is proud to present the definitive edition of Double Dragon in a kick-ass (pun intended) Blu-ray + DVD combo pack collector's set."

Crackling with the energy and humor of its two heroes, Double Dragon is a high-octane action spectacular.
