DOA: Dead or Alive
“They're the ultimate fighters. They've got the looks. They've got the moves, and the men fall at their feet.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A fighting tournament brings together rivals whose wardrobes appear to have their own stunt department. Glossy combat and an absurd conspiracy carry the attraction; take the exposition as the interval between moves rather than expecting the game world's rules to make sense.
