Sunt cele mai bune luptătoare. Au înfățișările potrivite. Au mișcările, iar bărbații cad la picioarele lor.

DOA: Dead or Alive is a 2006 martial arts action film based on the fighting video game franchise Dead or Alive. It is directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Corey Yuen and written by J. F. Lawton and Adam and Seth Gross. In the film, fighters are invited to Dead or Alive, an invitational martial arts contest. The four female fighters begin as rivals, but work together to uncover the secret that the organizer of the tournament is trying to hide. It features an ensemble cast and has various appearances from characters of the franchise, led by Kasumi, Christie Allen and Tina Armstrong.

Production

Principal photography commenced on May 4, 2005, and concluded on July 19, 2005. Filming locations include Bangkok, Guilin, Hengdian, and Hong Kong. The production budget was estimated to be $30 million. The film was the first Western production shot largely in China's Hengdian World Studios, where Hero and House of Flying Daggers had been shot. The film was scored by Junkie XL.

Sarah Carter had worked with Natassia Malthe five times before and with Holly Valance three times.

The actors trained together for three months before going to China, where they trained for another month. Training included wu shu and kung fu, as well as wire training. The heat and humidity made the fight scenes particularly challenging. Another challenge was translation; on set, people spoke English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and the regional dialect of whatever area they were shooting in at the time.

Pressly had some previous experience with martial arts, training with her own trainer for nine years, and she had a recurring role in the Mortal Kombat television series.

Valance had trained in muay thai since her teens and found it more difficult to learn kung-fu as there were many things she had to relearn.
