Dead or Alive ? Doesn?t matter!
Haven?t seen a stupidly hilarious movie in a while? Well then Dead or Alive is the way to go!

Cover:
Plot:
DOA ? Dead or Alive is based upon the game of the same name. A select group of fighters around the world are invited to DOA for winning cash prizes and becoming the best in the world. Only, in this movie?
A number of fighters are invited to DOA, an invitational martial arts contest. They travel to the tournament island by plane, until they have to jump out mid-flight with parachutes, and then have until sundown to reach the main island to be entered into the tournament. Fighters are then pooled against one another in a knock-out style tournament, with the loser of a battle sent home, and the winner progressing to the subsequent round. The plot revolves around four female fighters who begin as rivals, but subsequently find themselves teaming up against another force.
Review:
Now, what should I say about a movie of 4 girls wearing underwear and fighting clear fake with ultra-modern stunts and the sorts? I know. I must say ?LOL!?
The movie has Holly Valance, Jamie Pressly, Sarah Carter and Devon Aoki. That?d be enough to stop with, 4 stupid actresses, except perhaps Sarah Carter. So the movie is total punch, kick, punch, kick. And there is this host who is like the boss monster of a game, and they have to defeat him and his world domination plan. It gets so stretchy in middle that it makes the entire movie look very very stupid.
A stupid story + excellent unbelievable stunts + stupid actors and actresses + a few wasted henchmen forms this movie. Its all ?Aah? ?Grr? ?Bash? ?Boom? and background electronic music.
Score ? 6/10 [Sarah Carter looks good, saved you]
Recommendation:
Find the DVD on the road? Let it be.

Ohh I thought it was animated when I first saw the cover. They looked like the characters from Final Fantasy.. Hmm so no fun just bangs and beats? Must be a waste of money unless the actresses turn into an eye candy doing those stunts

Hmm… the story seems to be a distant cousin of Mortal Kombat 1 which is a bad thing to do.
