Did anybody see Dead or Alive on dvd? just wondering if it worth a blind buy,it is out next week in Canada. Loved the video game .

It is a cheesy movie. It wasn't terrible but I couldn't stand the story. The games themselves are way better than the movie. I would say it is a rental at best

+1. Its some good eye candy, that's about it in my opinion. I would definately compare it to Mortal Kombat 2.

Twankies08 · 01-28-2009, 07:59 PM

Yeah they got the wrong actors for this movie lol
I would just suggest a rental first!!

Shallow_ · 01-28-2009, 08:49 PM

I cannot remember the last time I smiled so much during a movie! (and still 3-4 hours after I finnished it) Have the DVD, and have ordered the Blu.

I got on DVD it's extremely cheesie but fun, just for the girls alone

That would be the only reason to get it, but then it still may not be worth it!.....but i still want it

Sky_Captain · 01-28-2009, 09:42 PM

Some hot babes and a silly Eric Roberts performance. You know you want it...

I heard this movie sucked. The the girl playing as Kasumi was ew!

Marquoz · 01-30-2009, 05:43 AM

I watched it once, the only redeeming feature is well, to be honest, the women. It would have been a lot better as an adult movie because of the severe lack of plot and soft core actresses.

It's basicly worth a rent if you are being paid to watch it, or have entirely too many vouchers for free movies that are about to expire, or if you just really enjoy watching movies just to have something to watch.

I would avoid this movie like a plague, videgames to movie adaptations rarely ever go well. And as an off topic, the new Dragon Ball movie looks like another lackluster to be avoided.

I might be late on this one. I actually can't find the DVD anywhere. I loved the video games. However, following tradition you could infer that it would suck.

I watched it online, and I couldn't get passed the first 20 minutes.

It's aweful, if you're a fan of the games the blow would be greater.

I think any movie that employes a fight with a bra is pretty stupid. If I wanted to watch naked women I would rent a porno. Not a striptease. Such a shame theres no nudity. They did have beautiful women.

When Tina was fighting pirates on her boat I noticed she was fighting the same fighter who played Liu Kang in the Mortal Kombat movie.

Still, pretty bad.

Snake Plissken · 05-20-2010, 05:09 PM

Yeah, Robin Shou is in this film.

Honestly, it turned out to be much better then I expected. The cast is decent and Holly Valance is ultra-hot. Kane Kosugi,son of 80's martial arts ninja movie star Sho Kosugi has a good performance and Collin Chou is, well....Collin Chou!

I'll pick this up for the right price.

beefytwinkie · 05-20-2010, 05:20 PM

I love this movie! Cheesy? Check. Hot babes? Check. World domination with sunglasses? Check.

Last but not least: Jaime Pressley was va-va-va-voom!

That she was

So according to this site this movie is supposed to be coming to blu-ray this August anyone know if this is true? I like this movie for what it is a cheesy action flick with extremely hot women it that is based off a cheesy fighting game

Daaark · 05-20-2010, 09:46 PM

There is already a cheap Canadian version of this with 1080p and DTS-MA. It's a good looking and sounding disc.

It's funny watching Kevin Nash play BASS, who is a ripoff of his real life buddy Hollywood Hogan.

Mobe1969 · 05-21-2010, 08:43 AM

I thought the movie was pretty good actually. I went in with low expectations and was more than a bit pleased. Nice eye candy in HD too. My wife didn't mind the film either.

Al_The_Strange · 05-21-2010, 10:13 AM

It's a fun bad movie. Go rent it.
