DOA: Dead or Alive is a 2006 British-German-American martial arts action film loosely based on the Tecmo/Team Ninja fighting game series Dead or Alive. Directed by Corey Yuen and written by J. F. Lawton and Adam and Seth Gross, it features an ensemble cast led by Jaime Pressly, Holly Valance, Sarah Carter, Natassia Malthe and Devon Aoki.
In the film, fighters are invited to DOA "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. The film has various appearances from characters of the game series, with, in lead roles, Kasumi (Aoki), Christie Allen (Valance) and Tina Armstrong (Pressly).
The film received generally negative reviews. The film was released September 7, 2006 and performed poorly at the international box office. The US release was delayed and was eventually released June 15, 2007, in 505 theaters, for only 21 days.
