It is a film that embodies the lives of two people living in California. Now, the brothers Billy Lee and Jimmy are highly trained military artists who live in the devastated city of New Angeles. Within a short period, the duo embarked on a new mission to stop an evil pole from finding a mystical medal with terrible powers as they use martial arts for that.
While clumsily paced by first-time director Jim Yukich and amateurishly acted, the picture does take place against the imaginative backdrop of New Angeles, the urban archipelago formed when the Big One crumpled Southern California.
An incoherent children's adventure based on a popular video game.

The grim view of the future is nothing new, the special effects involve poorly used matte paintings and pyrotechnics, and the actors do far too many double-takes.
There is a genial exuberance to the lead performances of Wolf and Dacascos, who behave as though the Lee brothers aren't too many rungs above Beavis and Butt-Head on the evolutionary ladder.
