It's likely that Peter Gould will be a name remembered throughout television history. After all, he helped write some of the best episodes of "Breaking Bad," including a small episode that introduced a certain strip-mall lawyer with connections to the drug trade. When that series exploded in popularity and acclaim, he was promoted to co-showrunner of its spinoff, "Better Call Saul," working on the series until its recent, heart-wrenching finale. With these two shows under his belt, it's safe to say that he's already cemented his legacy.
Of course, he didn't start his writing career off on such a high note, as he had to work his way up to the status he's achieved now. As a young man pursuing an Mfa at the University of Southern California, he primarily directed commercials until his big break in Hollywood came in the form of a film adaptation of a popular arcade beat-em-up named "Double Dragon.

There is a dark place in movie hell reserved for the beast known as the “video game movie”. There have been some that really aren’t that bad, take Doa: Dead or Alive as an example or Silent Hill. They knew how to keep things fun without being too cheesy in the process. But what about Double Dragon, which has just been released, in the Us, on Blu-ray from Mvd as part of their Mvd Rewind collection.
