Features: DVD, Widescreen, Aspect Ratio 1.85:1, Theatrical Version, Trailers
What could be better than Jean-Claude Van Damme in an explosively entertaining action extravaganza? Two of him! There's twice the excitement, twice the mayhem and twice the fun in this turbo-charged adventure that pushes the thrills into overdrive. Van Damme leaps into the dual roles of Chad and Alex Wagner, twin brothers who were separated after their parents' brutal murder. Years later, the two couldn't be more different: Chad is a slick Beverly Hills fitness instructor, while Alex is a rough-and-tumble smuggler on the gritty streets of Hong Kong. But, when fate throws them together again, Chad and Alex discover that there's one thing they have in common: they're both fighting machines! Determined to enact revenge on their parents' killers, the martial arts experts kick, chop and shoot all the way to an electrifying final showdown aboard a gargantuan freighter in Hong Kong harbor. With amazing fight sequences, tongue-in-cheek humor and villains you'll love to hate (including six-time Ms. Olympic Cory Everson as a beautiful hit woman), Double Impact will jolt you with a 100% adrenaline rush!
"Slam-bang action! Double Impact delivers the goods!" Los Angeles Times
Editor's Note
Identical twin boys are separated at a young age when their parents are brutally murdered by Chinese thugs, and raised in different parts of the world. Twenty-five years later they become united with a great hunger to avenge the deaths of their parents.
Plot Summary
After nefarious developer Nigel Griffith murders their parents, identical twins Chad and Alex are separated as infants. When they finally meet again, the adult siblings find they are as different as night and day. Chad has become a generally nice guy, while Alex sports leather duds, slicks his hair back, and chomps on cigars. But the brothers soon find they have two important things in common: martial arts, and a desire to avenge their parents' death. The city of Hong Kong then becomes a battleground, with the brothers delivering twice the kicks, twice the punches, and twice the "Damme-age", as they combat Griffith and his henchmen. But will the twins end up fighting each other, for the affections of Alex's girlfriend?
