	The Twin Dragons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brother vs. Brother, Double Dragon, Duel of Dragons, When Dragons Collide is a 1992 film starring Jackie Chan, and directed by Ringo Lam and Tsui Hark.
		The Twin Dragons was released in 1,129 North American theatres on April 9, 1999.

	Evil twin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An evil twin is the concept in fiction (especially soap operas, science fiction and fantasy) of someone equal to a character in all respects, except for a radically inverted morality (and often some changes in appearance, stereotypically a goatee for men and a different hair color for women, for the audience's convenience).
		Such ideas as cloning, parallel universes, and time travel offer more opportunities for the twin to arise and their tendency to become exact polar opposites is magnified, rather than just slightly different characters.
		In South Park, Eric Cartman's evil twin from another dimension has a goatee (despite his age), but since Cartman is already cruel and evil, the "twin" is kind and much preferred by the inhabitants of this universe.

	Double Dragon (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The Jackie Chan movie The Twin Dragons (1992) includes "Double Dragon" as an alternate title, according to the IMDB, although it is completely unrelated to the video game series.

	DVD Review - Twin Dragons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		At first unaware of each other’s presence, the twins are thrown into absurd situations, while later they use their different identities to strategically outsmart the Mob who are still after Boomer and Tarzan after they are unable to pay their gambling debts.
		"Twin Dragons " is a movie that makes you laugh out loud constantly, but at the same time keeps you in its grips when the action gets rougher and Jackie Chan delivers some of his trademark martial arts performances.
		Fortunately, in the end the film is just as enjoyable in English as it is in Chinese, despite the sometimes inadequate dubs that in their incompetence actually add to the film’s comical aspects at times.

	DVD REVIEW: "TWIN DRAGONS"
		For instance, in what could have been a hilarious scene where the twins feel and react to the other's movements as one tries to conduct an orchestra for the first time while the other experiences driving through a gun battle also for the first time, the end result is maddeningly inane instead of gut-wrenching funny.
		Although the film is many years old, the effect should have been more seamless (although a skimpy budget probably curtailed that), but instead looks incredibly bad with one character all too obviously being superimposed into another shot (with flickering, jagged edging around him).
		That's usually a bad move when watching one of Chan's films, since they're often filled with a bevy of out-takes at the end that are occasionally more fun to watch than the film itself (since they show the near calamitous accidents and flubs that occurred during the production).

	Twin Dragon - Lawsuit
		Michael and Martin McNamara are suing the two film companies, as well as Front Row Entertainment Inc., of Edison, N.J., claiming their rights to the name Twin Dragons, the title of a Jackie Chan action/comedy film that was produced in 1992 and released earlier this year.
		The brothers, who opened the first of their eight Twin Dragons Kung-Fu and Kick Boxing clubs in Toronto in 1972, are also seeking an injunction that would stop the film makers from producing, marketing, distributing, selling, or renting the film Twin Dragons.
		The Irish-born twins also operate eight Twin Dragons kick-boxing schools in the Toronto area and have, in fact produced films titled Twin Dragon Encounter, Dragon Hunt and the soon to be released Twin Dragons (The Right to Fight).

	Film & TV: Twin Dragons (Austin Chronicle . 04-19-99)
		Twin Dragons, made seven years ago to raise money for the Hong Kong Director's Guild, is now being hustled onto the revival circuit to catch the tail-draft of last year's mega-successful Rush Hour.
		In this case, the story gimmick is that Chan plays both leads: a pair of identical twins separated at birth, one of whom grows up to be a world-famous concert pianist and the other a lowly grease monkey with a knack for getting on the wrong side of local gangsters.
		Again, let there be no mistaking that Twin Dragons is only for those who are fully on the bus with Jackie's approach, who don't regard Chris Tucker as indispensable yang to Chan's yin, and who won't let a little bad (okay, execrable) English-language dubbing get in the way of their movie enjoyment.

	Twin Dragons \| The A.V. Club
		Filmed as an answer to Jean-Claude Van Damme's Double Impact, the 1992 Jackie Chan film Twin Dragons, redubbed and re-edited for American release, gets by on the novelty value of having Chan play a dual role.
		As an examination of the slipperiness of identity, its relation to physical appearance, and the incomprehensible knot of coincidences that binds the world together, Twin Dragons won't make anyone forget Comedy Of Errors, Dead Ringers, or The Double Life Of Veronique.
		But Twin Dragons is still a Chan film, albeit not a great one.

	Twin Dragons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		After a criminal snatches one of the babies from a hospital during an escape attempt, it falls into the hands of a drunken woman, who adopts the baby as her own.
		The two twins must try to assume each other's identities -- John by helping in the robbery and Boomer by conducting a symphony -- all the while trying to keep their respective girlfriends happy.
		Another problem with Twin Dragons is that it centers around lame "which twin is it?" jokes and even lamer attempts at romance (a ballroom dancing fantasy sequence is so cheesy it almost made me retch) rather than action.

	CBC News - The National
		To kick boxing aficionados, the "Twin Dragons" are exceedingly well-known' they are pretty close to being the best-known Canadians in the world.
		So we say that he knew, when he produced the films, that the Jackie Chan movie was a rip-off of the "Twin Dragons" and the "Twin Dragons" encounter.
		Still, the twins' opening play is they want $37 million -- certified cheque please -- and return of that title, "Twin Dragons." The way these things shake out, they probably won't get $37 million.

	James Sanford reviews Twin Dragons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		"Dragons" begins on that fateful night in 1965, when one of Mama Ma's (Sylvia Chang) twin sons was stolen from the hospital by a crazed crook.
		While a double dose of the usually delightful Chan sounds like a treat, neither John nor Boomer is particularly interesting, and the special effects in "Dragons" are so shoddy that when the two appear onscreen at the same time, the image of one is always flickering or wavering.
		While there's a good stunt late in the film in which he somehow propels himself through the open window of a car to land in the backseat, most of the fights here are generally unimaginative.

	MOVIE REVIEW: Twin Dragons -- One Chan Too Many (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Twin Dragons is perhaps the weakest Jackie Chan film released stateside, largely unexciting and uninvolving, and the feeling is that we’re scraping very close to the bottom of the proverbial barrel.
		All of this is exacerbated by the usually atrocious dubbing to the spotty editing to the sad fact that the film is seven years old and the images start to look a bit worn-out and dirty.
		The way the film puts two Jackies into a frame is usually highly accomplished and inventive; in some shots, it’s clear we’re witnessing a special effect, but mostly it’s seamless and the interactions feel very natural.

	TWIN DRAGONS
		Obviously hoping to capitalize on that, Dimension films has unearthed one of his older films -- from 1992 to be precise -- and has given it the once-over polish to deliver to unsuspecting audiences who will believe it to be a new picture.
		Although the film is seven years old, the effect should have been more seamless (although a skimpy budget probably curtailed that), but instead looks incredibly bad with one character all too obviously being superimposed into another shot (with flickering, jagged edging around him).
		Like most Jackie Chan films, this one is filled with all sorts of martial arts fighting scenes where people are hit by many punches and kicks and the villains have guns (and other weapons) that they use to shoot at the protagonists or actually shoot and wound other miscellaneous characters.

	cityonfire.com \| Twin Dragons
		Plot: Jackie plays twin brothers who were separated at birth; one raised by an upper middle-class family to become an accomplished concert pianist, and the other, raised by a working-class mother, who becomes an accomplished street fighter and works in an auto plant.
		The best element of the film is the running gag (which doubles as the plot) of mistaken identity with girls, friends and enemies.
		The one problem I had with this film was with the three stooge-esqe moments thrown in gratuitously immediately after the boat chase scene.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- TWIN DRAGONS
		The reason TWIN DRAGONS succeeds is because the film relies on slapstick comedy, instead of spoken humor, and Jackie Chan is a master of that particular comedic art form.
		TWIN DRAGONS tips the scales in favor of comedy, so the martial arts/action sequences are more slapstick driven than most other Jackie Chan outings, making this film a genuine laugh fest.
		In addition to Jackie Chan, the cast of TWIN DRAGONS includes Teddy Robin Kwan as Boomer's smart-ass sidekick, who gets both brothers in trouble, plus Maggie Cheung and Nina Li Chi as the women who can't quite tell which brother is which.

	Twin Dragons (Shuanglong Hui) Film Review - Time Out Film
		This dreadful Jackie Chan caper (made in the early '90s and redubbed in '98) kicks off in 1965 with identical twins John and Boomer Ma separated when a gangster grabs the latter from his mother's arms.
		Years later, the twins (Chan) are reunited when an episode in Boomer's troubled life spills into John's ordered world.
		The script (as translated) is facile, the dubbing atrocious and the direction all over the place; the cast is mostly inadequate and the editing haphazard.

	Canuxploitation Review: Dragon Hunt
		After suffering humiliation when the Twin Dragons chopped off his hand in the original movie, Jake has returned with a laughable papier-maché replacement and a band of gung-ho mercenaries to even the score.
		For some unknown reason, the Twin Dragons are blamed for this crime by a couple of hard-nosed cops, prompting Martin and Michael to duck the heat at a lakeside cottage with their girlfriends in tow.
		The Dragons defeat their adversaries one by one, usually quite handily, leaving Jake and his inner circle of henchmen to take on the Twin Dragons in a 10 minute climax which is mostly made up of slow motion footage of the McNamaras rolling in sand dunes and discharging their machine guns in random directions.

	Twin Dragons (1999): Reviews
		Two long lost twins (Chan) -- one a gangster from Hong Kong and the other a classical pianist from New York -- are in the same city at the same time, unbeknownst to each other, leading to a series of comedic instances of mistaken identity.
		Here's Jackie Chan playing twins separated at birth, though not as separated as English is from the actors' lip movements in this silly, speedy, wretched dubbed action goof.
		The only worthwhile portion of Twin Dragons is the climactic action sequence, but, to get to that, it's necessary to endure more than an hour of unfunny physical comedy and excruciating verbal interaction.

	Film Blather: Twin Dragons
		And with the success of the latter film, it comes as no surprise that Hollywood is bringing back one of Jackie Chan's older films, made in his native country.
		Released in Japan in 1992 under the title Shuang long hui, Twin Dragons is, like most of his other films, just as much of a comedic endeavor as it is a martial arts one.
		Twin Dragons was successfully preempted by Jean-Claude Van Damme and his Double Impact, which, incidentally, was the only Claude movie I really liked.

	Twin Dragons (1992)
		You can’t really see Tsui Hark or Ringo Lam in any part of the film’s directorial style, but this film was never meant to be part of their official filmographies.
		Twin Dragons was actually made as a benefit to the HK Director’s Guild, which explains the sheer abundance of HK directors, from UFO guys Peter Chan and Jacob Cheung to John Woo, Ann Hui, and Kirk Wong, who gets the big part as bad guy Keung.
		This is not a film that’s necessarily accessible for Western audiences.

		"Twin Dragons" (PG-13) -- a foreign film with English dubbed over (not subtitled), was a violent and sexual comic romp in the lives of two brothers separated at birth.
		At the time of separation and after a series of slapstick and Rube Goldberg style endangerments one of the pair was found by a drunk and drinking lady of the night who raised him.
		"Twin Dragons" presented a lot of footage of Jackie Chan in action - a god display of the Martial arts -- but it was still fighting to gain or to control.

		That's why there are so many HK directors doing cameos in this film and half the fun for true believers is spotting them (I have yet to watch this film and spot Wong Jing, if he's even in it).
		It's a pretty typical story, with twins separated at birth, one moving with his parents to the states where he becomes a gifted musician and maestro named John Ma.
		The biggest downer is the technical aspects of this film; any scenes where the twins are together are awful.

	Twin Dragons
		Unfortunately, Twin Dragons proves that not to be the case.
		As is the case with most of Jackie's rereleased films, Twin Dragons suffers from a horrible dub, and the resulting sound mix certainly doesn't help the humor any.
		Twin effects have been around for a very long time, yet when Jackie and Jackie appear together onscreen it seems like a bad episode of The Patty Duke Show.
