"There's one problem with that. You can't kill Ruechang... but I can".......2007-04-03

In an imaginary world, a princess is on the run from the evil General Ruechang. Ruechang's top soldier played by Dolph Lundgren is sent to capture the princess so Ruechang can marry her. She falls in love with Dolph and convinces him to save her.

The movie is not badly directed, but the acting and story is really hard to sit through. The action is the only thing an Isaac Florentine movie should be watched for, and it doesn't disappoint in that area. Thouands of bullets fly, there are hundreds of explosions, and don't even try to keep a death count. While Florentine had not yet polished his action style (he used to direct Power Rangers), it is still fun to watch. The movie is low budget, but Florentine manages to make it feel like a big production. Where the low budget comes into play is with the actors. Dolph Lundgren as the main star greatly hampers everything. The editing is excellent, but Dolph just moves too slow. If he was at least a decent actor, his slowness could be excused, but if someone isn't a good actor in the first place, Isaac Florentine isn't going to be a big help. The final fight is not bad, but it is the best scene in the movie, and that is not saying much. There is also supposed to be something between Ruechang raising Dolph since he was a child, but they only tell you this in the story and the acting and directing job doesn't allow it to be believable.

1.5/5

The DVD from HBO Home Video has good picture quality and has short cast and crew biographies.

The best independent film.......2006-01-26

Warchyled feels like he owes General Ruechang something just because he brought him into the army every since he was 10. What he don't know is Ruechang killed the King which is Princess Halo's father so he can gain more power but that's not enough so he wants to marry the Princess so badly defentaly not for love cause he keeps on beating the princess, she knows aabout her father's murder so she pretended to be sick and hold off the wedding and then escaped. Warchyled has his duty to go and bring her back.

What's This Movie Trying to Say?.......2004-11-06

How come the arch-villain and the damsel-in-distress are the only Asian speaking roles in this otherwise virtually all-white film? With so few prominent Asian characters in U.S. media, the message seems to be that white men need to kill Asian men and rescue Asian women. This would be good on a double bill with Griffith's "Birth of a Nation."

If you want to see the "hot princess" (Rachel Shane, a.k.a. Valerie Chow) in a better film -- dancing around in her underwear no less -- check out Wong Kar-Wai's "Chungking Express."

The Best of the Worst.......2004-07-12

Do not purchase this DVD if it is priced over seven dollars, because it isn't worth it. However, you have to see this movie. It is so incredibly bad, and yet it takes itself seriously. I almost died laughing because
1. the acting is horrible
2. the dialogue is horrible
3. nothing makes sense--plot, setting, etc.
4. looks like it was created by a bunch of college film-majors under the influence of some substance

A beautiful piece of cinematic badness.
Five stars.
