Fun fact, both movies pay homage to their video game successes.
Turtles in Time was a popular video game on Super NES which is why Donnie has the Super
Nintendo controller on his arm and Double Dragon movie is based on the popular video game
series from the 80s and that’s why they include at the easter egg arcade game behind
Billy Lee.
The theme of both these movies is literally coming out of the shadows (audio) The movie’s
about these brothers who are training in the arts of martial arts.
I thought martial arts made you super mature, but the red and blue brother are always acting
like little kids.
They play keep away like little boys (audio) Another scene that reminds you that the main
characters are 17 or under is when the one dude is minding his business on the basketball
court and one of the bros forgets to mind his business and starts throwing stuff onto
the basketball court. This causes the guy down their to get hurt and the hero doesn’t
even say he’s sorry or nothing like that.
The red and blue brothers barely even like each other to be honest.
They spend most of their time arguing and getting into fights with each other.
When the city is taken over by a group of thugs, the brothers have to band together
for the greater good or whatever because they obviously they can’t beat bad guys with
only one person.
Watch how at the part with the half metal half skin guy fights them and the one brother
things his all that, fights by himself and gets whooped.
What I’m saying is their going to need a lot of help.
They get help from their sexy homegirl that’s a master of disguise.
And their other friend who could skate like really really good helps out a lot too.
If it was for the roller blade scenes, this movie wouldn’t have any roller blade scenes
so that about sums up their value.
The menace in the movie is up to no good so the good guys try to take him down.
First, their sexy side kick sneaks into the villain’s HQs and she overhears their plans
plot for plot.
She gets caught but she manages to (Kobe) shake and bake the bad guy at the end for
a clean getaway.
Also, the brothers go Die Hard mode and sneak into the air vents and try to steal something
valuable or whatever from one of the characters by using this sticky string technique.
One night, the brothers go for a ride and discover the city’s overrun by gang members.
This leads to a high speed chase scene at the black armored car and the garbage car.
I call it a garbage car because their vehicle is literally used for picking garbage off
the side of the street/fighting crime.
The gang members corner the good guys in the back of a dead end alley and it looks like
one of the good guys might die to death.
But nope, because the rainbow colored ensemble sneaks out from the shadows and scares the
bad guys away.
To even up the odds, the villains hire some henchman so the battle between good and evil
could be more lopsided in their favor in the future.
They invite the gang member with the mohawk to their laboratory where they run freaky
experiments on humans.
After injecting the henchman with some special steroids, he now has the strength of 10 men.
In addition, the villain finds out there’s a secret ancient power hidden outside the
US.
The henchman get their passports and travel overseas to get the secret power.
The part that sucks is that this piece is only a fraction of the secret power and the
rest of the pieces are scattered somewhere in the US so they have to travel all the way
back to the states anyway.
When the good guys have the other piece, the henchman will stop at nothing to take it from
them.
We get an action sequence on the river and the bad guys are shooting cannons like Kaboosh,
but thank god their aim sucks just as bad as the stormtroopers from Star Wars because
the good guys are able to survive.
When the bad guy gets all of the pieces to the secret weapon, it’s a wrap and the good
guys have to get more help if they plan to win the battle.
They ask for help from the police chief, but the police chief is all like, I’ll help
you, but not until closer to the end of the movie where it could serve the plot.
While they’re at their HQs, the place decorated in graffiti.
An earthquake happens and that’s when we realize ish is about to get real.
The team has to split up.
The brothers take on the main baddie and the girl sidekick takes on the girl sidekick.
Even though the bad girl has spent a majority of her life training in the arts of ninjitsu
and the sexy girl only got her training from public school.
She tiger up cuts the female henchman and wins the fight.
Meanwhile at the main fight, the red and blue brothers who couldn’t stand each other finally
start working together.
They do this one movie where the blue brother grabs the red brothers hands and swings ‘em
and then they “sitiyah” the bad guy.
They defeat the bad guys which is cool, what’s totally uncool is that the heroes let the
police force who did absolutely nothing take the credit.
Those are 24 reasons these movies are the same.
