Movies based on video games.. what a great idea! In theory, at least. The ones we examine in this episode.. not so much. Except Pierre really likes the Double Dragon movie, for some reason. I don't know.. ask him.
Personally, I would have preferred the Double Dribble movie.
Which come to think of it, is a weird name for a basketball video game. It would be like calling a football game "False Start" or "Illegal use of hands." But no matter, where else are you gonna get slow-motion cut animation of gray men in short shorts reverse dunking?
Anyway, Pierre and I then tackle the Citizen Kane of terrible video game movies.. yea.. you know the one..

over nine years agoDowntown TateDouble Dribble the Movie? Sign me up! I can hit a 35 foot jumper left-handed with my eyes closed. I can also dunk from half-court through 6 defenders (yes, 6) and shatter the backboard while blowing kisses to the cheerleaders on the way down. I should be the star of your movie. No, I will be the star! Look for me in 2016!
