FIRE BREATHING FUN, September 8, 2004
This review is from: Dragon Fighter (DVD)
Director Philip Roth rises above the B movie status in this cleverly filmed sci fi movie. By using multiple screen shots and loading us with a cache of completely unbelievable characters, he focuses mainly on the genetically engineered dragon, and that's why this movie is fun.
For a low budgeter, the dragon effects are very good; unfortunately, the CGI guys don't do as well with the helicopter scenes, but since the dragon is the star, who cares?
Dean Cain gives another one of his earnest, good guy performances as the security guard who saves the day.
The movie is fun to watch and we can predict the ending, but if you like good old fashioned fun, this one passes.

DRAGONSLAYER meets ALIEN, May 15, 2006
Several people are trapped in an underground laboratory with a 12-foot tall, fire-breathing, man-eating dragon.Does that sound cool? It is. But don't be expecting a dozen Apache Longbows to be going after the dragon like on the front cover.
The special effects are so-so, I've seen much better but I've also seen worse. The dragon is pretty cool and fairly well rendered. However, the acting and writing are quite bad. And when I say bad, I mean BAD.
Despite its large flaws, I found DRAGON FIGHTER to be loads of fun. I you like B-Movies, then this is for you. If you don't stay far away.

Absoutely Horrible, April 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Dragon Fighter (DVD)
This movie didn't deserve the 1 star that I gave it. I only put 1 star because you can't put zero. To start off with, my friend, who is an amateur film maker, can do better special effects. The front end helicopter shots were horrendus!! It was all 2-D and just not realistic. The shots of the dragon were a bit better, but hardly high quality. Now the acting was a big shaky. Dean Cain, who I respect as an actor, lost a lot of my respect from this film. During too many scenes it looked as if he was trying too hard to fit the part, and it just wasn't working. Well enough of my gabbing about how horrible this movie was. My advice to you, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY TO RENT OR BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!
