Is the uncut version worth it?

The Double Dragon dvd has been out of print for nearly three years now. Double Dragon has always been one of those movies in the sense that people either love it or hate it. People have often bashed this movie complaining about how it doesn't relate very well to the arcade and nintendo games. While that may be true, the film definately relates to the Neo-Geo version of Double Dragon. As for the movie itself, it is definately a B-flick though I personally found it to be entertaining. Double Dragon is without question an action/comedy. Though some argue that there is more comedy than action, I say that both the action and the comedy blend well. The humor is a bit dumbed down at times mainly due to Scott Wolf's cheesy yet catchy one-liners as well as the character of Abobo getting transformed into a mutated imbecile. For those of you who are familiar with Mark Dacascos, his martial arts performance is good in this movie along with Robert Patrick's character, Alyssa Milano's and Linda Lash's good looks, and the overall setting of futuristic Los Angeles. Now onto the uncut dvd... It is important to note that despite the feature listings on this website, there are no cast & crew filmographies or any production notes to speak of. The uncut version is in full frame versus widescreen. So is the uncut version worth it? Normally I would not care about a movie including four extra mintues of added scenes though in this case the four extra mintues of added scenes are worth viewing. If you wish to view Double Dragon, decide which version you would prefer; the original widescreen version or the full frame uncut status? June 11, 2006
