Ninja Dragon (1986)
50 years old Harrison does ninja stunts! ... or does he? ;)
A requirement for watching this film is being drunk! Richard Harrison is in his ace. Being an almighty ninja, and far better than all other characters. He is far too old for the stuff his character is doing. But rest assured, the director got that problem tackled: "We jus t dress him up from top to toe in ninja outfit and let the stuntman do the entire role!".
The film-editing is doing everything it can to ruin any cool ninja effects by using some of the oldest tricks in the editor books. Ex.: rewinding the film, so it looks like they are jumping really weird ninja-jumps. They are clipping the movie together like a child would do it. In some fighting scenes it is so obvious that its two different scenes mixed together so it should look like one.
Well, all I can say is: this film is a gem! If you are fond of "crabcake" movies, you just have to see this! Its especially good while being drunk with a few friends.
Magic Kid (1993)
worth only below 5$
First of all: This is not one of those movies you will want to see again. But its neither one that you would turn off right in the middle (unless you have anything else to do, and I mean anything).
This film is so "the 90's children's movie". It got pure classic themes regarding this. I really enjoyed it on this level, it reminded me of the good ol' days. Modern kids above the age of 11 wont consider this movie anything but mindless fodder. But you have to remember that in 1994 this movie would probably rate as an average. Today, its definitely below average, but thats the way it goes. I got this pretty cheap, so I ain't complaining. But whatever you do, don't spend more than 5$ on this title.
Hercules in New York (1970)
Arnolds first movie?
This is such a fun movie! Of course only fun in the sense of being terrible awful. But if you happen to like those crabcake movies, like me, its simply one of the best! The movie shows Arnold in his true form; I mean, he is gigantic! As big as a horse! He is even bigger than when he was shooting Conan the Barbarian. And his English - HAHA! - its fantastic. I'm so glad that I bought this title.
I've heard this is Arnolds first movie, though I'm not sure. I think maybe it was the "prize" from winning the Mr. Universe.
The best thing in this film, and maybe in every film I have seen, is the awesome actor in that bear costume! I'm laughing just thinking about it! It was so awesome! Cheerio
Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
Lots of lovely gore
I really enjoyed Hellraiser 1, I loved the mysticism and the puzzle/riddle of the cube and story of the cenobites, and I was really looking forward to Hellbound. Unfortunately I got a bit disappointed... Its a great horror movie, lots of gore and freaky... "things".
I have no experience in the comics or other Hellraiser stuff. That said, I think it ruins the Hellraiser-story, by making pinhead become human or at least capable of emotion, also the crazy doctor can kill the cenobites!? I thought they were almighty, and not letting some loony doctor slay them.
So, other than ruining my own Hellraiser fantasy, it was a great movie. I' m only giving it five, because not staying true to Hellraiser #1. Remember its only my own opinion. >B=D~
