Double Dragon is a 1994 live-action film adaptation of the video game franchise of the same name. This film was produced starring Mark Dacascos as Jimmy Lee and Scott Wolf as Billy Lee, along with Alyssa Milano as Marian Delario and Robert Patrick as Koga Shuko, the primary antagonist. In the movie, the twins are only described as brothers, presumably to explain the differences in ethnicity. To clarify, the movie, Jimmy is a year older than Billy, whereas in the video games and the two brothers were twins (with Jimmy being the elder twin). It was directed by James Yukich and written by the team of Paul Dini (of Batman: The Animated Series and others) and Neal Shusterman. The location was a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles (following a large earthquake that occurred before the events of the film), referred to as "New Angeles".

Double Dragon 3 - Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game was a decent port from the arcade to Genesis. There was a loss in the quality of graphics and sound, but that is to be expected from a port from arcade to console. At the beginning of almost every level, you will find a shop where you can buy powerups, tricks, and extra lives. Buy them all. They will definitely help you on your way. This addition to the Double Dragon series featured some pretty cool improvements.

Unfortunately, many of the cool features available in the original Double Dragon did not appear in Nintendo’s version. The biggest feature missing was the lack of two-player cooperative mode, which is what made Double Dragon so unique in the first place! Without that it was simply Renegade! Other than a two-player mode, Nintendo did a decent job of translating the feel of the original game into their own format. The basic idea is the same of course, but the game play is slightly different. Unlike the original, you’ll have to earn advanced moves by collecting hearts throughout the game.

The Double Dragon animated series was produced by DiC Entertainment and ran for 26 half-hour episodes between 1993 and 1995. The premise of the show had the Lee brothers separated at birth, with Billy being raised by a wiseman known as the Eldest Dragon. In contrast, his brother Jimmy was raised by the evil Shadow Master to become his right-hand man. As a result, the Lee brothers met each other as adversaries after being reunited as adults. However, by the end of the second episode, Jimmy is betrayed by the Shadow Master, which leads the brothers to set aside their difference and fight against the greater evil. The Lee brothers made use of magical swords which contained special powers and added dragon masks to the brothers' outfit. During the course of the series, the brothers recruited allies in their war against the Shadow Master and his henchmen, in the second season gaining stronger magical weapons when the Shadow Master harnessed the strength of the even more evil Shadow Kahn to increase his power.
