DOA Coming to the Theater Near You

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the at-long-last dept.

pamri writes "DOA: Dead or Alive, the movie based on the Dead or Alive video game series is set to be released on August 25. The preview images and the trailer point to a more Charlies Angels 2 type fluff than a serious action movie. The girls are also seem friendlier with each other, in odds with the intense competition in the game." I tell people I bought a 360 for Oblivion. But I really bought it for the ladies of DOA.

    according to the preview images, there is going to be volleyball, though, im not sure what the point would be (other than the obvious:)

  2. Wow, Cory Yuen.... by sesshomaru · · Score: 4, Informative
    Hmm, doesn't necessarily mean it will be good, or even the next The Heroic Trio , still Cory Yuen's filmography is encouraging:

    * DOA: Dead or Alive
    * The Transporter
    * So Close
    * Enter the Eagles
    * Hero
    * My Father Is a Hero
    * High Risk
    * The New Legend of Shaolin
    * Bodyguard from Beijing
    * Fong Sai Yuk
    * Saviour of the Soul
    * Top Bet
    * All for the Winner
    * She Shoots Straight
    * Dragons Forever
    * Righting Wrongs
    * Yes, Madam

    This is exactly the right kind of a director for a film based on DOA, we may end up with another Mortal Kombat. (I mean really, who didn't like Fong Sai Yuk? I've got it on VCD...)
