Double dragon cartoon torrent1/28/2024 Why would the medallion be so powerful? Was the King a wizard or something? Did the medallion save his city and people? Why am I asking these questions? Well I guess because it all seems kinda important to the plot and its a huge chunk of exposition. No idea how the King made this medallion by sacrificing himself. No clue why they were attacking this Chinese city. No clue who the shadow warriors are or were. Naturally both halves have since been apart and hidden from each other. This power was so strong that the King (presumably before he died) split the medallion in two one half giving power over the soul, the other the body. Said medallion gave its owner immeasurable powers over the body and soul. In order to save his people the King sacrificed himself to create a powerful medallion. Thousands of years ago in ancient China an army of shadow warriors lay siege to a city. So what do we have here? Well its pretty much the standard 90's fantasy plot mixed in with lots of hokey oriental mysticism. I'm guessing the studio knew they had a piece of crap on their hands and possibly thought to release it during the height of the beat 'em up craze with 'Street Fighter' (?). But both movies were released in late 94, 'Double Dragon' coming first in November. Interestingly this videogame adaptation was made two years before the dumpster fire that was 'Street Fighter'. Double Dragon was basically the game that kick-started a wave of martial arts inspired fighting games throughout the 80's. K so just in case anyone wasn't in the know, this movie is based on the hugely popular scrolling beat 'em up videogame Double Dragon released in 1987. Case in point, 'Double Dragon', easily one of the most 90-iest 90's movies ever made. Its also mind-blowing to see just what movies actually got full cinematic releases back then. Its really quite amazing to see how campy the 90's could actually be.
