	Double Dragon Dojo - Mailbag
		Double Dragon also borrowed a bit from a few martial arts films, most notably Enter the Dragon (where most of the bad guys in the first two games were named after characters in the film).
		Double Dragon Advance is a remake of the original arcade game with new levels, enemies, moves, and modes.
		I have noticed the ungodly amounts of similarities between Double Dragon and an Anime/Manga known as "Fist of the North Star" that was translated to English in the early 1980's.

	Movies Ghosts in the machine
		It’s a gesture of hope to have made Goodbye Dragon Inn, which defines film as the double reign of cyclical time and the imaginary space of desire.
		With Goodbye Dragon Inn, Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang has made his great film about film.
		And just as he renders Dragon Gate Inn unrecoverable and timeless, so he renders the space of the theater mysterious.

	Double Tap @ Dark Dragon Style
		Double Tap was one of the last film's which Leslie Cheung starred in before his death.
		In both films, both director and star Leslie Cheung show there versatility in handling films of a different styles, and in Double Tap you have a film which is quite unique in some ways.
		A "Double Tap" is a shooting expression for when someone fires two shots from their gun in quick succession, and they both hit pretty much the same spot, leaving a sort of 8 shaped whole on whatever they hit.

		"Double Dragon" is a particularly heinous crime against the viewer but at least I can take solace in the fact that I didn't have to pay a dime to see this film.
		Additional information on Double Dragon or other products.
		The only performer who comes away relatively unscathed is Julia Nickson-Soul who plays Satori, the legal guardian of the Lee brothers who dies about thirty minutes into the film, she could have easily lived but she got wise to the possible career suicide this film had become and just committed character suicide.

	Road House
		And yes, that is Taimak Guarriello, the kung fu-fighting star of the Berry Gordon film "The Last Dragon," assuming Swayze's role as Dalton, the hero who rides into town like a cowboy, only here he's a legendary bouncer hired to clean up the Double Deuce.
		The fact that this off-Broadway show is a stage adaptation of "Road House," the unintentionally hilarious 1989 film starring Patrick Swayze about a philosophical bouncer, should be enough to draw in plenty of people looking for a few laughs.
		Even the film's outdoor sequences are meticulously reproduced by way of miniatures and video projections.

	Lucy Lawless - Double Dare Movie - Articles
		The Boston Herald - 13 May 2005 - Stuntwomen film is `Double' the fun
		Sports Illustrated - Double Dare Under Review 9 May 2005 Lucy Lawless was the biggest, baddest woman on television, yet when Xena: the Warrior Princess needed to flip off her horse to take on male attackers, that feat would fall to a stunt double...
		"Double Dare," from Amanda Micheli, is an entertaining look at stuntwomen in Hollywood, focusing on Jeannie Epper, a now-sixtysomething pioneer who still does stunts, and young Zoe Bell, formerly Lucy Lawless' double on "Xena: Warrior Princess," now trying to find her way in a business that's as dangerous as it is unforgiving.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
		The film eventually launched a trilogy of successful (albeit inferior) Lecter films including Hannibal (2001) and Red Dragon (2002), and each featured a revived Hopkins, whose career was deservedly resurrected due to his outstanding performance in Silence (amazingly, he only appears in the film for roughly 16 minutes).
		Ironically, at the time the film was shot (in the early 1990s), Elizabeth Dole, Secretary of Labor under George H. Bush, allowed her office to be used as a double for Crawford's.
		The film also functions as a police procedural because it is narrated through the point of view of a fledgling FBI agent and walks viewers through the process of capturing a serial killer.

	cityonfire.com Way of the Dragon
		In Return of the Dragon, we get to witness the typical Lee with double nunchuks vs. a whole gang of guys action sequence, as well as the always watchable one on one fight scenes where Lee shows the audience how fast and furious (2 fast....haha, sorry) he really is.
		JESSE'S REVIEW: Bruce Lee's 1973 film Return of the Dragon (which was also written and directed by Lee) tells the tale of a young farmboy from Hong Kong who travels to Rome in order to help rid his uncle's restaurant of the local thugs who aim to make it their own by any means possible.

	TWIN DRAGONS - UNIVERSE DVD
		But a couple of Jackie Chans, that I can and did handle: Chan's action-comedy (emphasis on comedy) Twin Dragons is easy to digest, unlike the similarly plotted Van Damme vehicle Double Impact.
		As a demonstration of Jackie's slapstick dexterity, Twin Dragons really scores, however, and despite the fact that a few subplots still remain unresolved, the original Chinese version is more fulfilling at 104 minutes than Dimension's is at 90.
		With action auteurs Tsui Hark and Ringo Lam at its helm, though, and choreographer Yuen Wo Ping ( Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) behind the stuntwork, one has every reason to expect more combat and spectacle than Twin Dragons actually delivers.

		They’re so frequent at times that it seems as if the entire film was filmed at double speed and slowed down.
		Cinematographers Christopher Doyle and Hou Yong are to be commended for outdoing even Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (surely the bellwether of quality when judging these films) visually.
		For those who were unimpressed by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it’s doubtful that Hero will be able to convert them into advocates of to this type of film.

		The cards seen in the film have a red reverse whereas the game set are blue but both feature the clever repeating 007 logo seen clearly in the film.

	Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia - HK Movie Reviews
		Brigitte Lin is cute in this film, but don't look for any ass-kicking swordplay like in 'Fire Dragon' or kung fu action as in 'Bride with White Hair'.
		Lin plays a drug runner who is double crossed by her handlers.
		Synopsis: Brigitte Lin has been typecast as a gender bender since her breakthrough film 'Swordsman II' where she played 'Asia the Invincible', a man who becomes a woman to practice supernatural kung fu.

	Amazon.com: Shrek/Shrek 3D Double Bill: DVD: Cody Cameron,Cameron Diaz,Christopher Knights,John Lithgow,Eddie Murphy,Mike Myers,Conrad Vernon
		A quest of sorts starts for Shrek and his new pal, a talking donkey (Eddie Murphy), where battles have to be won and a princess (Cameron Diaz) must be rescued from a dragon lair in a thrilling action sequence.
		Shrek is never as warm and inspired as the Toy Story films, but the realistic computer animation and a rollicking soundtrack keeps the entertainment in fine form.
		The film's 3-D effects are fun (glasses are included and the film can also be viewed traditionally), but the movie is never more than a smile-inducing short; it's not as fun as the features.

	Sid James
		He left Carry On in a flurry, with a double-edged role in the 1974 film Carry On Dick, headlining the stage show Carry On London and appearing in four episodes of ATV's Carry On Laughing series in January 1975.
		However, once Sid had cropped up as legendary, fast-talking American film director Ed Waggermeyer opposite Tony Hancock in Orders Are Orders, and subsequently been selected for Hancock's Half Hour, his career took a direct comic turn.
		Other popular television series including Taxi, George and the Dragon and Two In Clover, with Victor Spinetti, but it was the domestic situation comedy Bless This House that proved the biggest success.

	Amazon.com: DVD: Bruce Lee - The Master Collection Set
		Lee died before completing his last feature, Game of Death, and a rather unconvincing double runs around much of the film between footage of the real Lee, but the climax features an impressive bout with basketball star and Lee student Kareem Abdul-Jabar.
		This Five Disc Set Includes: Chinese Connection (Letterbox 2:35:1, 107 min., 1972) Fists Of Fury (Letterbox 2.35:1, 105 min., 1971), Game Of Death (Letterbox 2.35:1, 100 min., 1978), Return Of The Dragon (Letterbox 2.35:1, 90 min., 1972), Bruce Lee: The Legend (Full Frame, 88 min., 1977)
		Though a cut above most martial arts movies of the period, these are no masterpieces, but then who watches a Bruce Lee film for the story?
