#DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON TRANSCRIPT SERIES#

They probably act the best out of everyone, and Scott manages to hold his own in the fight scenes alongside the always incredible Mark Dacascos. Both its leading men are absolutely gorgeous and perfect leading men material for such a film. Every extra looks ridiculous and is annoying as hell, with most of it playing out like some bastard child from a Power Rangers episode! Is there anything good in Double Dragon I hear you ask? Well, yes if I'm honest. Haunted by that typical mid nineties costume department that helped make a lot of then films look naff, there is pretty much nothing in this 90 minutes of madness that stays true to the game. For many years you have astounded us with your inability to chose directors that know what they are doing, that suit the project in action, or generally just can't stop ruining great things! Taking a documentary film maker and handing him one of the ultimate and most popular games of that time, should have been the first sign to the studio fat cats that this was going to be as much of a success as the previous years, Super Mario Bros. Its only saving grace is its two gorgeous leading men who give us some decent fight scenes and a number of funny enough one liners! In my opinion - Hollywood, oh Hollywood. In a nutshell - Embarrassing acting from most cast members, all but Dacascos, Wolf and Nickson, that only adds to the unintentional humour, terrible make-up, costumes and direction. With vehicles powered by burning rubbish, police curfews, buildings held up by jacks, and lots of colourful clothes and bad jeans, we enter the god awful world of James Yukich's Double Dragon. The show simply began losing its audience, as all shows eventually do.One of my favourite childhood games gets the typical nineties Hollywood makeover and only just entertains for all the wrong reasons! Set in the future, well, if our year of 2007 really turned out like this, in the city of New Angeles. As far as I know, the protests were minimal and had no impact. I keep reading stories about it getting yanked off the air because it was too 'violent' or because protest groups thought it was Satanic or something of the sort.

Incidentally: The Dungeons and Dragons series was cancelled due to declining ratings. You can decide for yourself if you want to consider it 'the ending' or not.

It's just the approach of a different writer. It's not how I would have ended the series but I wouldn't suggest he's wrong. It has since been performed in some fan-generated projects and you may be able to find those or Michael's script with a little Googling.

My friend Michael Reaves, who wrote several of the best episodes, was engaged for that purpose and he wrote a script which was not produced. I'm not entirely certain who they thought would put up the money to produce one more episode or why they might have considered spending their ownвЂ¦but they did hire one of the show's writers to whip one up. Soon after the show was cancelled, the animation studio (Marvel Productions) decided to get a script written that tied things up. A lot of people seem to recall that episode as the 'last' episode. And of course, once the decision was made not to make any more episodes, there was no way to 'end' the ongoing storyline.Д«efore it came to that, there was one episode produced in which the kids dreamed they were back on EarthвЂ¦but it was only a dream. When the last episode of the third (final) season was produced, no one had any idea if there would be a fourth season, so they didn't do a story that wrapped things up. A few months later, the network would look at the ratings and decide whether or not to order another season. So the last episode of each season was put into production months before the first episode of that season aired. When we were producing shows for Saturday morning, the rough schedule was to write the entire season from February through about JuneвЂ¦then those episodes would begin airing in September. As you probably know, it takes a long lead time to do animation. The show was in production for three seasons. Some fine writers grabbed the baton and made the show into a modest hit, and one that still has many fans. I wrote the pilot and one other episode, then went on to other things. The show, just to remind you, was about a band of kids who were stranded in a mystical land, forced to battle dragons and stay out of dungeons, and to elude the insidious master villain, Venger. Not reallyвЂ¦and as the person who developed the show for television, you'd be amazed how often I am asked this.

On the Saturday morning cartoon show, Dungeons and Dragons, wasn't there a 'last' episode in which the kids got home?
