Trivia / Double Dragon (1994)

• Box Office Bomb: Budget, $7.8 million. Box office, $2,341,309.
• Creator Killer: The movie dealt damage of varying degrees to some of the main players in the crew. The screenwriters and storymen got it the worst, with one screenwriter, Peter Gould, only writing one other film in 2000 (he moved on with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul), and both storymen, Paul Dini and Neal Shusterman, stuck to TV and video after Double Dragon (with Shusterman further disappearing after the similarly poor Animorphs series). Finally, it hurt director James Yukich's career to where he's focused on TV himself, though Yukich would direct one more film in 1999.
• Dueling Dubs: There's four Latin American Spanish dubs (which is something unusual in the region even for films like this) which were dubbed in three different countries: Two of them in Mexico, another one in the U.S in Los Angeles, and other one in Argentina.
• Playing Against Type: Vanna White in a cameo as a newscaster.
• Romance on the Set: Scott Wolf and Alyssa Milano actually started dating while filming this movie and were subsequently engaged, but the relationship didn't last and the couple eventually broke up.
• Role Reprise: In the Japanese dub of the film, Nobutoshi Canna reprise his role as Jimmy Lee from the PC Engine version of Double Dragon II.
