60 of 225 · most liked firstSPIDER-NOIR: The New York Times calls it a washout, and adds DOA. It's much better than that. A lovingly created caricature of film noir that's mesmerizing in its carefully created look (Dutch angles aplenty) and snappy dialogue. It's heartfelt and fun, the last thing from DOA.

neutral · AI labelView post →Disney's Snow White live-action film is set to hit theaters soon, but it's very clear that there's a lot wrong with the project. It's been bombarded with bad press from day one, with star Rachel Zegler being the main target of blame for the project imploding before Disney's eyes. But why is it DOA?
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun Fact: The movie was directed by Corey Yuen, a legendary martial arts film director and choreographer (He's known for choreographing a lot of stunt and fights in many Jet Li movies). DOA was sadly the last movie he ever directed.
neutral · AI labelView post →Crank 2 is one of the only American movies that comes close to capturing the insanity of a Story of Ricky or Tetsuo the Iron Man. You know that wild first ten minutes of Miike’s DOA before the film slows waaaayyy down? That’s this entire movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →On this week’s episode, we talk about DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE (2006), a ridiculously entertaining video game movie from Corey Yuen! It’s like Mortal Kombat mixed with Charlie’s Angels and Torque.
neutral · AI labelView post →That's a hard one to take. I've said for years that DoA is one of my favourite fighting game series, because if you take away the "lol boobs" factor its easy countering system was designed to make you feel like a complete martial arts movie badass. As we say at VGC, God rest him❤️

neutral · AI labelView post →The real question about the JR Ward movie is will it be so ridiculous that it teeters into being a cinematic masterpiece (like DOA, and no, I will not be taking criticism of that movie, it's glorious). I hope so.
positive · AI labelView post →I new this movie was DOA but god damn is it fucking DEAD
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight's Kicksgiving feature: DOA: Dead or Alive. Ignore the haters, this movie is a camp masterpiece. The villain is the literal embodiment of white appropriation!
positive · AI labelView post →DOA knows how to make a fighting game movie. Colorful, cartoon physics, dumb as fuck, people kicking each other's asses every six minutes, Jaime Pressley
positive · AI labelView post →Most fun I had watching a movie in May was the remake of DOA, in which Dennis Quaid has 24 hours to solve his own murder at Murder University. I'd seen it before but not since 1988; remembered who the killer was, which turned out not to be an impediment to enjoying it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Another word of note: if you want a 2D animated film to succeed, SPREAD THE FREAKING WORD. Don’t waste your time dooming it or declaring it DoA release date beforehand. Spread the word. Yes, that’s on studio marketing. But it is also up to YOU to spread the word too.
neutral · AI labelView post →Timeline cleanse: Some of you know I was in the film industry as an FX artist & costume design & fabricator. Unfortunately disability made my career DOA but I still have great memories of certain projects I'll share some of those things w/you in order to break from the monotony #StarTrek #Voyager

positive · AI labelView post →I'm seeing some (quite unnecessary) dunking going on but when you consider the most recent high-profile thing featuring him to some degree before today was that DOA film a few months back in fall starring the dude from _The Bear_, I don't blame people for not knowing or not wanting to know.

neutral · AI labelView post →Like, one person dies in this movie called "DOA: Dead or Alive". But, also, one person presumed dead at the beginning comes back, meaning there is a net zero amount of character deaths. The answer to the question posed by the title is, definitively, "Alive."
neutral · AI labelView post →DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE (2006, Pluto, #film) An exquisitely insane game adaptation where ninja babes in teddies do their kung fu moves on beefy oafs. Hallucinogenically puerile, plasticine, kinetic, cartoonish, and *immensely* entertaining. A pure distillate of '00s. h/t: @mxdshipwreck.bsky.social
positive · AI labelView post →deadline.com/2025/06/elio... Yet, Hollywood trades are trying to force a narrative that original ideas are DOA at the box office and theaters only rely on franchises. Recycling superhero movies and nostalgia bait IP (live action remakes) can’t be a long term permanent focus.

neutral · AI labelView post →These things exist in multiple forms and will continue with some hiccups. Like I love KOF, Street Fighter and Tekken and don’t think about most of their movies at all if I can avoid it. DOA has a Andy Sidaris movie directed by Corey Yuen so it has a cinematic masterpiece luckily
positive · AI labelView post →It’s funny that a fourth movie was considered DOA in 2009 due to expected costs and those factors have only worsened

neutral · AI labelView post →I can't believe this movie has at least one scene for Koei Tecmo's major franchises. It has Ninja Gaiden, DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball, AND DYNASTY WARRIORS?! This movie is peak
positive · AI labelView post →I think the message is integral but you know what makes Zootopia really worth it? Nick and Judy, there buddy cop dynamic they make the movie for me. And in terms of unlikely friendships in animated movies, their top tier. If the sequel screws that up, then it's DOA. But I'm feeling optimistic.
neutral · AI labelView post →my own journey into movie madness would have been DOA or at least severely stunted without the friendship and guidance of @ascalaphid.com especially as pertains to wuxia wizard bullshit and the spiritual importance of having a kung fu guy to be hyped about. this is a list of primo taste

positive · AI labelView post →Out of all the Wrestlers Turned Actors the fact that Kevin Nash isn't discussed yet has the funniest repertoire from being the Super Shredder in TMNT 2 to getting actually stabbed in the Punisher to being in stuff like John Wick, the DOA movie, and then his most latest role being a male stripper--

neutral · AI labelView post →Some people will fear monger you telling your DVDs and BDs will be all DOA in 5-10 years. ...Any movie collector can tell you first hand that that's BS and they have scores of discs older than 10 years with no issues.
neutral · AI labelView post →My current go-to ‘what should I watch?’ movies are Pride & Prejudice, LotR (series), The Hobbit (series), Barbie, John Carter, MirrorMask, EEAAO, The Shining, Scream (1-3), The Exorcist, any Miyazaki film, The Fall, Summer Wars, Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Shrek, DOA: Dead or Alive: The Movie, & Wicked.
positive · AI labelView post →26. DOA: Dead or Alive This isn't a "good" movie, but it IS a fun movie. The sound design is so over the top and campy, and the fact that they revel in being a video game adaptation adds to the charm. Fun with friends or while inebriated, but your mileage may vary if you're watching on your own.

neutral · AI labelView post →I see people declaring this DOA because he directed the Buck Wild movie, but we literally only have a minute of footage to go off of here. And as the quoted post said, Donkin’s been with the franchise since the beginning, so I don’t see a point in writing this off completely just yet.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's funny how a majority of fighting game based movies aside from maybe MK and even DOA are completely cracked when you find out that Tekken is literally just Mad Max Bloodsport with fighters representing corporations like it's Armored Core and the KOF film being SAO but martial arts
