[@Yaozhuvip]

Good memories. Back in the late 90s i would stay home and watch Double Marthon for like 6 hours. That is the best time of my life.

[@Pavee1987]

omg, i can't believe i forgot all about double dragon until now...man, i use to watch this every single day and weekend

[@HavocFury]

Brings back memories. I used to watch this show faithfully.

[@aycockeric85]

Before I knew about anime, this was the absolute MOST badazz cartoon in existence... gotta love Double Dragon.

[@TheRivalConcept]

this used to be one of my favorite cartoons back when i was a kid

[@seankirwanx5]

this was my favourite show ever nothing ever beats it

[@HelloOtter]

the duality and spontaneous nature of mankind is indeed a puzzling thing

[@jerry6d]

Nothing but memories. This used to air early sunday mornings along with King Arthur and the Knights. GOOD TIMES

[@FlowingWithFate]

Still remember it when I was young. It is around 15 years by now since I first watch it on TV.

[@HornPlayer02]

I don't know why so many people are hating. I loved this show as a kid!

[@TheCMnews]

This show was my jam back when I was a baby child.

[@Alysa-Aiday]

Mine too. This, Sailor Moon & Ronin Warriors

[@gaarathedragon]

wow, me and my friends were just talking earlier about this and the movie too. Damn this brings back memories.

[@twirl2009]

reminds me of the good old days when cartoons were worth watching

[@LeckyBarnacles]

Used to watch this on Sky One before school. LEGEND!!!

[@alwynftl]

classic cartoon...last time i love to watch this....

[@talktal]

the might of the dragon! this cartoon defined my childhood

[@james46112]

I miss the good old days.

[@Jtonio616]

My favorite cartoon growing up lol

[@najeecolston]

omg this brings back memories!

[@WierdestBudday]

woooooow.... talk about a blast from the past.

[@dertwiller]

what they need to do is bring back all this old skool cartoons

[@Nickolocity]

Holy fuck, this show was awesome.

[@LeoKovzalin]

That deserves a big high five!!!!

[@Briley1994]

loved this show

[@JulianPope]

I love how back in the day the whole story would be told in the shows theme song lol

[@WesleyDaUrbanhog]

Oh, the 90's. Good times. :)

[@ashholly1872]

Keep posting these episodes

[@Captain_ObviouslyRight]

The most random bad guys you could possible put together in a group!

[@KRP50]

Where did my childhood go?

[@baldheadedfreak]

well.. It is now, but not years ago when it was everyone's favorite cartoon. haha

[@beraquesso]

I remember this aired Sunday mornings on my local KCOP 13 10:30a.m. when KCOP and other networks actually aired cartoons on weekdays and weekends.

[@kevinpasiecznik]

OMG so many child memories!!!!

[@CKSlakers81]

i miss them..

[@kherubhm]

Very good point, dude. I would also say that Michael is a analogue of Skate from Streets Of Rage.

[@DonMegaPLP]

cartoons were soo much better back in the day...

[@vtmvtm]

omg i remember when i first saw this

[@CLO619]

of course it did. it ran 4 a while, it was a good series.

[@pwrsurg35]

I totally forgot about this...

[@orlandrake]

Wow... I used to think this show was best thing ever.

[@Alysa-Aiday]

Maybe it's his motorcycle, maybe it's him saving the girl, but there's just something I Love about Billy's 1st big fight.

[@kherubhm]

Very good comparisons. I would also add: Shadow Kahn=Dregg Kami=Karai

[@BlackShogun]

I like vortex too...and the jamaican guy. I had the action figures and everything.

[@tasham6962]

I agree with those sayin this is a badass classic lol

[@indalecio21]

Lol i didnt know this was a series

[@OBZRV82]

This is that oldskool shit, a time when real cartoons were out.

[@Junothegamerfox]

along with this, Exo Squad was may faverite shows

[@YouGotMarin]

I seriously don't remember this NES game cartoon spin-off. It's one of the only ones that somehow escapes my brain, and obsessive knowledge of 90s cartoons.

[@kherubhm]

That's very interesting you should bring up the ninja turtles as there were a lot of elements from them that the cartoon borrowed: Billy=Leonardo Jimmy=Raphael Marian=April Shadow Master=Shredder Oldest Dragon=Master Splinter Abobo, Willy, Jawbreaker, Countdown, Icepick, Trigger Happy & Sickle=Bebop & Rocksteady The Shadow Warriors=Foot Soldiers Chop=Donatello Dragon Cruiser=Turtle van Vortex=Michaelangelo Dragon Lair=Turtle lair Shadow Kahn=Krang

[@pokedudewithglasses]

I remember this... ugh.

[@kida2kida]

Yes, in the UK. Amazon UK carries it.

[@OfficialTruDru]

This is the same Title of the Double Dragon V SNES Game they even look exactly like the Cartoon Version as well especially in the Game.

[@tornjakdaxter]

Why...am I reminded of DBZ when I watch this XD

[@kherubhm]

Actually I was refering more to the comic book Karai that appeared in the 80's before the cartoon got made but you do have a good point nonetheless. Also, I would say that the cartoon Karai was also like Harry Osborn( Without the whining and wussiness).

[@ValiareTheForsaken01]

Ok, now I know how they came up the idea for DD5. No wonder there were no games after that.

[@DSan-kl2yc]

what's streets of rage's Skate doing in a double dragon cartoon

[@kherubhm]

You're right. Now that I think about it, there wasn't really a counterpart for Michaelango on the show. The reason why I likened Vortex to him was because he was the youngest of the Dragon Masters and was the most reckless apart from Jimmy.

[@AstronAstroll]

That's funny because Final Fight, another video game, the city it took place in was called Metro City.

[@korriken]

@Eldeecue that is very much good point. oh and they also don't make their pets beat each other up either.

[@Grothraw]

And it's set in Metro City which was from Final Fight..!

[@leebai7]

u never notice it until now, billy lee has the same voice as ryoga hibiki in ranma 1/2 hahahahahhahahaha

[@HighElvenGamer]

Kick ass Bimmy!

[@Cartoonsoldier83]

I miss this cartoon and my name is in the cartoon HAHA Jimmy Le

[@wrestletube1]

So this is where the music from the game of the same name comes from.

[@dr.clawmadmusicproducer]

I also remember: Zack the Fifth Turtle=Micheal the Junior Dragon

[@nach5789]

You should've figuired it by now. But im still gonna answer that. Yes, this is that cartoon you are looking for.

[@dr.clawmadmusicproducer]

Also there: Abobo, Willy, Jawbreaker, Countdown, Icepick, Trigger Happy & Sickle=Bebop & Rocksteady, Slash,Tokka and Rahzar.

[@CatGirlAlena]

Where did you get these episodes from? I love this show and I would like to get the entire series. So please if you know where I can download this I would really appreciate it if you would tell me.

[@flashinmahcash]

2:41 "Keep your voice down!" yeah, because they are going to hear you as opposed to the freaking noisy helicopter.

[@tornjakdaxter]

Too true

[@kherubhm]

More good comparisons but although I would make a few changes: Kami=Lotus Blossom Daj=Dreadmon Blaster=Krakus Kona=Usagi Yojimbo Shadow Monster=Warrior Dragon

[@kherubhm]

@AstronAstroll, plus Michael was basically a palette-swap of Skate from Streets Of Rage if you look closely.

[@SSJ3Ulcer]

People thought "Rock the Dragon" was a bad theme song...

[@liukang999]

i had the vcr movie of it but i lost it

[@dr.clawmadmusicproducer]

The Shadow Dojo=The Technodrome Daj , Kona, Vortex, Blaster, and Kiam(DragonWarrior)= Loctus Blossom, Mondo Gecko, Bugman Casey Jones(Turtle Allies). Junior Dragons=The Turtloids Krang=Shadow Boss

[@delitachan]

What the heck did I stumble on?

[@XxHyoga87xX]

before your time dude lol

[@audiosport2]

i like there masks

[@geekgo4]

That was the point.

[@dethdealer2739]

I havent seen this shit in so looooong, I'd forgotten what it was called.

[@Nahinfi09]

Same here :)

[@cheezeofages]

With a scabbard like that, how does he draw a sword with such a wide tip?

[@RokkstarNailb0mb]

bad ass chest tattoo. almost as cool as brock lesners lawl

[@flipallday08]

i agree

[@Predatorocks]

@kherubhm I think you are overthinking this a bit. Billy and Jimmy are from the game as heroes. Marian is in the game, and most cartoons will have a lady that is in stress, or people that need help. There is always some evil villian like Shadow Master. For instance, Sonic it's Robotnick in those cartoons and in the game. Robotnick and the Turtles have hechmen. Robotnick in a cartoon had a chicken and a robot.

[@MerryMohProductions]

Well where Live-Action Fails, Animation succeeds.

[@stainshield]

That's because Jim Byrnes does both of their voices.

[@BluDrgn426]

2:30 holy crap, was that Skates from Streets of Rage?

[@EverDownward]

@3:34 Kenshiro: "Hokuto Fushoku no kobushi" Whoops, I forgot this was Double Dragon...

[@TheDamianG]

Skate Hunter from Streets of Rage appears ha ha

[@BriSoFly13]

it's skate and his older brother Adam from the streets of rage series, lol 2:30

[@myinutenma]

Ah, I wish I could see this whole series. I never finished it. =( Do they sell it on VHS or DVD? What's with the crappy names? Mary Martin..Billy Lee?

[@000000000SAM00000000]

11 people don't live by the code of the dragon.

[@rob143]

are there any other episodes of this on youtube other than "the shadow falls 1-3"???

[@puccaperson]

Well it was the city that Gadget saved from his nemesis,Dr.Claw ! On the hand Final fight did take place in Metro city

[@AstronAstroll]

Yeah that must be a reference to Inspector Gadget then.

[@HometownRevenge]

"Uh oh! Shit-a-copter!"

[@kalteich]

11 people thought Billy's name was Bimmy.

[@tantrumania]

there is no jimmy at the intro??

[@fantasmatico9]

como me gustaria ver esta serie en español

[@trustobey1016]

Ricky the Dragon Steamboat is Billy and Jimmy's dad.

[@puccaperson]

Metro city? I use to watch this as a kid but where did they get this from? Inspector Gadget? They were both made by the same company Dic!
