Product Description

When Harry Potter's name emerges from the Goblet of Fire, he becomes a competitor in a grueling battle for glory among three wizarding schools - the Triwizard Tournament. But since Harry never submitted his name for the Tournament, who did? Now Harry must confront a deadly dragon, fierce water demons and an enchanted maze only to find himself in the cruel grasp of He Who Must Not Be Named. In this fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, everything changes as Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and take on challenges greater than anything they could have imagined.
Running Time: 157 min.

Format: DVD MOVIE

Amazon.com

The fourth entry in the Harry Potter saga could be retitled Fast Times at Hogwarts, where finding a date to the winter ball is nearly as terrifying as worrying about Lord Voldemort's return. Thus, the young wizards' entry into puberty (and discovery of the opposite sex) opens up a rich mining field to balance out the dark content in the fourth movie (and the stories are only going to get darker). Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral) handily takes the directing reins and eases his young cast through awkward growth spurts into true young actors. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, more sure of himself) has his first girl crush on fellow student Cho Chang (Katie Leung), and has his first big fight with best bud Ron (Rupert Grint). Meanwhile, Ron's underlying romantic tension with Hermione (Emma Watson) comes to a head over the winter ball, and when she makes one of those girl-into-woman Cinderella entrances, the boys' reactions indicate they've all crossed a threshold.

But don't worry, there's plenty of wizardry and action in Goblet of Fire. When the deadly Triwizard Tournament is hosted by Hogwarts, Harry finds his name mysteriously submitted (and chosen) to compete against wizards from two neighboring academies, as well as another Hogwarts student. The competition scenes are magnificently shot, with much-improved CGI effects (particularly the underwater challenge). And the climactic confrontation with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes, in a brilliant bit of casting) is the most thrilling yet. Goblet, the first installment to get a PG-13 rating, contains some violence as well as disturbing images for kids and some barely shrouded references at sexual awakening (Harry's bath scene in particular). The 2 1/2-hour film, lean considering it came from a 734-page book, trims out subplots about house-elves (they're not missed) and gives little screen time to the standard crew of the other Potter films, but adds in more of Britain's finest actors to the cast, such as Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moody and Miranda Richardson as Rita Skeeter. Michael Gambon, in his second round as Professor Dumbledore, still hasn't brought audiences around to his interpretation of the role he took over after Richard Harris died, but it's a small smudge in an otherwise spotless adaptation. --Ellen A. Kim

On the DVD
The highlight of the two-disc set is a half-hour conversation with actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. They discuss their reactions to the film and other topics with British writer Richard Curtis . Then they answer questions from contest-winning fans, such as what are their favorite kids' books (Watson bypasses the obvious answer in favor of Roald Dahl and Philip Pullman) and what scenes are they looking forward to in upcoming films. More routine extras include the "Reflections on the Fourth Film" featurette (14 min.), though it has comments from some of the other young cast members, and "Preparing for the Yule Ball" (9 min.). The 10 minutes of additional scenes are mostly skulking and skullduggery, plus a long musical number from the ball. The remaining material is grouped along the lines of the Triwizard Tournament, with behind-the-scenes looks at each of the competitions (about 22 min. total), two longer featurettes on He Who Must Not Be Named (11 min.) and the workday of the other contestants (Robert Pattinson, Stanislav Ianevski, and Clémence Poésy, 13 min.), and four games, playable with the directional arrows on the remote control, that can be frustrating to figure out. --David Horiuchi

Amazing book, mediocre movie.......2007-07-04

There is no comparison to the book. The acting was horrible (kids, Dumbledore) but I assume they were just badly directed - why is Dumbledore raving and out of control? Furthermore, many interesting scenes were cut or shortened - at least give us more world cup quidditch! I love the first 3 movies but this one just didn't measure up. I hope OotP is better.

! horrible movie - goblet of fire - 1st 2 great 3rd lousy as well.......2007-06-30

i have never read any of the harry potter books. the 1st 2 harry potter movies were excellent. you did not have to read the books to follow along and enjoy the movies. most importantly, the movies made sense. i have seen all 4 movies at the movie theater. this movie was horrible. (3rd movie was lousy as well) this movie made no sense. there was no cohesiveness. the movie was all over the place. jumping from scene to scene without correctly explaining the scene that the movie was in. i was very bored. i did not feel a bond with really any of the characters including harry. the guy who plays dumbledorf needs to be fired immediately he has no personality at all. i have tried to watch this harry goblet of fire movie on cable several times thinking maybe i misjudged or overeacted. i was totally 100% accurate. this movie is horribly bad. as other reviewers have said the movie needed to be longer (example stated lord of the rings) i hope harry potter v is much better.

The Best HP Movie Yet!.......2007-06-26

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was an amazing movie. The effects were astonishing, the action was awesome, and the acting was outstanding!
In his fourth year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter discovers that Lord Voldemort has returned and is trying to kill him. This movie is awesome!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.......2007-06-16

First off, I thought this movie was quite entertaining and exciting in a thrill-ride sort of way, but it was the weakest film in the Harry Potter series. Many people will disagree with me, but this film lacked in plot and character development. The Triwizard champions had a total of two or less lines in the movie, and they weren't shown enough to grow accustomed to them. Mike Newell might be a great director, but he didn't capture the mood and essence of the Harry Potter world. Every time I was getting ready to settle with a situation or conflict, the movie took me to an entirely different ball park. The film never settled... it was in a constant rush.
Before the movie premiered in theaters, I remember hearing Newell say in an interview that he took out a few unnecessary subplots. He definitely took out many unnecessary subplots, and he replaced them with some other unnecessary scenes. There was a part in the movie where "Karkaroff" (The Durmstrang Headmaster)is shown secretly entering the lonely Great Hall. It's a very suspicious scene that leaves the audience wondering: What happens?... Nothing... nothing happens. That scene was just placed there for the sake of adding suspense to the story. The Beauxbatons champion, Fleur Delacour, was a very intriguing character in the book, and I was very disappointed when her total screen time added up to about three minutes. I had no complaints about her look, because I think she was as beautiful as they described her in the book, yet the director didn't take advantage of her screen time. In fact, the director didn't take advantage of any actor's screen time. Rita Skeeter, the haughty reporter for the Daily Prophet (played by the talented Miranda Richardson), was a very random character in the film, but in the book, she was a very well-developed character.
I'm sorry to say, but I think this movie would've been better off in the hands of another director. I think Alfonso Cuaron and Chris Columbus captured the true spirit of J.K. Rowling's magical wizarding world. Chris Columbus portrayed the world as colorful, yet filled with hidden dangers; Cuaron made the third film dark and more adult, still maintaining a magical tone; Mike Newell... he created a tone that was all over the place.
I am no director, but I can say that Mike Newell definitely needs to work on character development in his films. I heard he made the film "Mona Lisa Smile", and when I saw that movie, I had the same complaints I had for Harry Potter 4: "It just could've been better". Mona Lisa Smile lacked in proper character development as well. I know we live in a society that demands instant action and conflict in its flicks, but there are ways of doing that without rushing plot or character development. I'm just glad he's not doing the next Harry Potter film.
Although I have some complaints about this film, I still have to say that I enjoy watching it because it is entertaining and it is a thrill ride; so I do recommend it for that purpose. Thank You for reading. =)

Customer Reviews:

BURNT OUT .......2007-01-14

This would be an exciting film for children. For adults: Cheesy script, poor acting and campy stuntwork/camerawork/special effects.

Cheesy yet enjoyable..........2006-11-03

I first saw this movie on the Sci-Fi Channel when they were showing 'marathon' of movies featuring dragons. The subject of review says it all 'Cheesy yet enjoyable'. There are parts that are unintentionally funny: Silas' groomed hair, Princess' attire (lingerie and black pants), Girl who yells "Fire!" when operating the catapult (even though she is the one pulling the device). The movie does has its own charm and it is enjoyable (if you can take it for what it's worth -- Sci-Fi Weekend Movie).

I liked the movie so much that I bought from Amazon. Recommended if you like these kind of movies. =)

Ever seen a made at home movie? Nows your chance! .......2006-03-30

... Now how do you start a review of this kind of movie. Was it a movie? When all of a DOZEN towns people at the gate are waving farewell and sending the would be heros into battle against the (wonderfully computer rendered)dragons doesn't that just somehow seem sad. We six Heros will die so that the dragons won't eat the rest of you! Thats right all 11 of...oh Im sorry didn't see you there, ALL TWELVE of you. I especially like how in this town of twelve+heros there happens to be a traveling deadly martial arts guy, a beautiful girl with a huge crossbow on wheels,(talk about envy) and the robin hood guy, except he's actually from outside the town. So I'm going to stop now before I cry... Yes it was that bad. But as always watch it for the Heck of it and try not to be upset about time lost in a vigilant attempt to make sense out of the dragon storm movie thing..experience thing.

Well-Done Fun!.......2006-01-17

This movie is just a bit of fun! The acting, directing and production values are very good. Maxwell Caulfield makes an excellent reluctant hero and John Rhys Davies injects humor into his villanous role. The medieval setting is more convincing and less glamorous than in many movies I've seen. The script is pretty good, as dragon eggs land like comets on the earth, but we aren't sure at first (and neither are the characters) what they are. Even though the movie is not a bloodfest, it is too scary for children. The dragons do kill people, there is a fair amount of suspense, and the dragons are frightening.

It just doesn't get any worse than this!.......2005-11-28

Oh my, this movie was God-awful. It has the feel throughout of a group of first time actors playing medieval dress-up and dragons for the camera. The special effects consist of computer-generated dragons and an extreme overuse of people's backs getting set on fire... that's pretty much it. The plot is also very weak and so typical. The fighting scenes are horribly choreographed and the acting is so bad that it looks like first time efforts for every actor except for the two kings and Theldag. Picture Ben Stiller with a slight beard, medieval clothes, and a wig. That's the hero in this calamity of a movie. There's also the typical trite and very poor attempt at humor spattered throughout also. This is definitely a low budget title. It's also in 4:3 full screen only. I consider this movie purchase one of the worst I have ever made, but it was cheap. You get what you pay for.

As Bloom tries to understand why the witches have stolen Stella's solaria ring, a restricted book opens for her and she learns about the myth of the Dragon Fire. If the myth is true, there's a power out there stronger than anything they could ever imagine. Is it in Stella's solaria ring? Is it hidden at Alfea? Or somewhere else? As the witches try to find the Dragon Fire, they get into an epic battle with Bloom and rest of the Winx Club girls. As they're about to destroy Musa, Bloom begins to glow with a strong and powerful light. Could it be? Is the Dragon Fire inside her?

Customer Reviews:

My girls love them!.......2007-01-14

My 9 and 12 year old girls watch these episodes over and over again. It's like "Harry Potter" for girls except it's "good fairies" battling "bad witches". Other than the skimpy costumes the characters wear sometimes, I have nothing bad to say. I've watched a few episodes and they have some good lessons to teach.

Winx Club Volume Two: The Power of Dragon Fire.......2006-07-28

The second volume of Winx Club has six episodes, and each one of them is, as Musa (one of my favorite Winx Club fairies) would say, slammin'! Bloom, Stella, Musa, Tecna, and Flora are five fairies at a magical school called Alfea. (My favorite fairies are Musa and Flora, who have the powers of music and flowers.) Buy this DVD so you can join them and their friends in their many magical adventures! I loved this DVD, and I watched it over and over again many times. It is very helpful because it let me catch up on the early episodes I hadn't seen yet. I'm eleven, and Winx Club is my favorite TV show. I can watch it every Saturday morning at 9:30 on 4Kids TV.

The Road Warrior meets Dragonslayer in the briskly entertaining post-apocalyptic action thriller Reign of Fire. Reign of Fire exists primarily to give us a bigger and better dragon than the Vermithrax Pejorative of 1981's classic Dragonslayer, and in that regard, the special effects are mightily impressive; the reptilian fire-breathers are stupendously convincing. While the earlier film offers a richer, more whimsical medieval adventure, Reign of Fire is a fast-moving tale of man versus dragon that takes place in the charred England of 2020, after Earth has been scorched by rapidly multiplying dragons and the aftermath of a futile nuclear counterstrike. Mixing high-tech gadgetry with primitive survivalism, X-Files alumnus Rob Bowman makes the most of his midlevel budget, establishing a lavish castle base for the rugged, adversarial teaming of Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey as dragonslayers on the brink of extinction. With a steady supply of crowd-pleasing highlights, Reign of Fire is a pyrotechnical treat. --Jeff Shannon

Ok movie but I was Dissapointed.......2007-06-30

Ok as a typical monster type movie. Effects were great!
I was disappointed in the story line. After viewing all of the trailers, I expected there to be a lot more about the dragons.
I was really looking forward to the sections of the movie where they discover more about the dragons, like their biology, how long have they been around, more science stuff. But it didn't really come.
What you got was a narrator who just dumped all of the interesting facts on you, just to transition you to the end section where they could have the final conflicts.
I enjoy the discovery, where certain characters investigate and after a lot of work they find that final piece of the puzzle that helps them in the end. The process of discovery, picking up on small details that allow your imagination to piece together and fill in the full story. Not just a quick info dump, skip all of the cool stuff, and jump back into the action.
Not that action is bad, in fact I like it best when they intersperse the action scenes with the investigation and discovery scenes.
So I guess it's an Ok Monster Movie, but not great Si-Fi!

a b-movie, but not a classic b........2007-06-27

Bale and Scorupco must have died a thousand deaths delivering the movie's last lines. I got goosebumps in sympathetic mortification for the actors. Seriously cringe-worthy.

But I didn't expect the movie to turn out quite so bad, at least not from its beginning. Actually, it starts pretty well -- our hero as a boy opening up a Pandora's box of dragons and then his grown-up voice-over (though oddly his accent changed) sequence narrating the disaster that ensued. Standard stuff for post-apocalyptic sci-fi but I kinda like that and that part is edited with some momentum. And there are a few nice moments, notably a very endearing pop culture movie re-enactment, a few droll lines, and some fun popcorn-crunching here and there. It's not all bad. But what with a script that forces its actors to do too much awkward exposition, a hilarious over-the-top militaristic score that begs for the A-Team and Saturday afternoon tv, grammatical errors in the set props, and an actor (McConnaughey) who alternately grunts/preaches/cries and whom you just can't quite believe knows the meaning of 'epidemiology' as he utters it, plus that mortifying ending... holy cow, batman, it does get bad.

But not so bad that it should go cult. The badness here is not a heroic, epic, capital-B bad. Just amateurish.

I don't know what this about but Matthew Mcconaughey and Christian Bale are in London fighting a dragon that has been asleep for 20 years.

The sweetest movie ever!!!!.......2007-06-12

"Reign Of Fire"

Christian Bale stars as Quinn Abercromby, a protector and a father of many people in a dragon infested world. In his childhood (staring Ben Thorton) he witnessed the scene of a fire breathing dragon brake out from under London after a millennia of sleep. It killed his engineer mother Karen (Alice Krige). Soon the world was filled with dragons, they burned everything destroyable that they could find in order to consume the ashes. Civilization was shortened to few families and few groups of people clinging to survival. Twenty years later, it is protector and father Quinn's job to keep his community alive and safe, by scaring the dragons off and leading his community to survival.

Into this desperate community comes an American named Denton Van Zan (staring Matthew McConaughey). With his team of so-called dragon specialists, they hunt down and destroy dragons. Although the work is extremely dangerous, and the survival rate of his group is very low. Using skydivers to bait the dragon into nets, the skydivers' survival rate is 17 seconds. Denton supplies them with a lot of military firepower. He demonstrates that the dragons are not supernatural creatures but living beasts that can be destroyed. However there are so many dragons all over the world that they need a better plan if they are all the species. In the end only one of the two species can survive.

Reign of Fire has an interesting story to it. The dragon effects are amazing, such as the part when the male dragon attacks the castle. But the dragons don't appear as often as I would like them to but at least they did appear. It would have been nice to see some of the destruction of civilizations rather than hear about it. They say the dragons destroy everything to consume the ash but are constantly eating living humans instead. One thing I don't get is why they don't explain how the male dragon survives under London for a millennia. Quinn's community seems so unprepared that it is hard to believe they have lasted this long. The only character that you can really remember is Denton Van Zan. Most of the other characters seem to just be there as dragon distraction. That being said, the great effects and amazing dragons go a long way in this movie, and fans of the genre will find it worth watching.

I loved this movie it is my favorite movie of all time. I have watched this movie over and over again many many times. I love the fantasy the author of this story put into it. It is an amazing story. This story has a good flow and has so many cool characters that have weird personalities, like Denton Van Zan.

I recommend this movie to anyone who loves fantasies or movies with action in it. I especially recommend this movie to dragon lovers; this movie put a perfect picture of what a dragon may look like if it really existed.

I'm with the previous reviewer.......2007-05-01

Okay, it's got great visuals; in fact, they should have had MORE HELICOPTERS and just called this Dragons Versus Helicopters, and done without the plot altogether. Because the plot is...sad to stay...stupid. And when I use that word, I don't mean just a little bit stupid, but way, way stupid. Gosh, it sure was lucky for humanity that there was only the ONE male dragon, and that the females were sort of hive support for it. Just...why did it take through the downfall of the entirely of world civilization to find this out? And why was he so easy to kill once we'd found him? And on and on.

So okay, if you're going to spend that much money on the special effects, why not blow a few more bucks on the scriptwriters and not second guess them? This is a movie to watch, for sure, but...with the sound OFF.

Dragons: Fire and Ice is a visually and dramatically impressive animated adventure inspired by a line of Mega-Bloks toys, the same way that Mega-Bloks' rival Lego's Bionicle products yielded the Bionicle: Mask of Light and Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui features. By comparison, Dragons may be the superior entertainment, perhaps no less cluttered in its mythic storytelling than the Bionicle franchise but framed and paced far more like a handsome, live-action movie. Set in a time of legend, the film concerns a shattered truce between two warring kingdoms, Draigar and Norvagen, whose earlier peace was established through the wisdom of dragons. Each side blames the other for the disappearance of those winged creatures, though that tragedy was brought about by a manipulative ambassador. But it is Draigar's prince and Norvagen's princess, unbeknownst to them, who possess special powers granted by the Dragon King to heal the old rift. Above-average family viewing. --Tom Keogh

Surprisingly Good.......2006-04-19

My little brother was jabbering about this for days when he discovered that Megabloks had made a movie. I was a little skeptical at first. I thought the movie wouldn't be any good or the bad guys might be too scary for him.
Turns out, after looking all over for a movie store that had it for rent, it was a really good movie! Everyone enjoyed it, even me! The story was good, the bad guy(s) were mean and creepy, and the dragons were AWESOME!!! They were my favorite part; aside from Princess Kyra and her cool martial art skills.
I was happy that the main guy in a movie got shown up for once.
Kyra and Dev had a short fighting sequence and Kyra must've knocked the prince down at least three times!
The dragons were very cool! The wing flaps and tail movements were very realistic. The legs were realistic too, but the dragons didn't walk that much.
Anyway, it was a great movie and I'm glad I had the chance to watch it. If you like dragons, creepy wizards, and sword fights, you will love this movie!!!
Now, if only Megabloks could make their building toys as good as their movies.

Great!.......2005-08-22

I'm getting this for my brother's B-Day, (He's a real fan of the movies and sets.) and I must say, it wasn't bad! It's fun....fantasy like, ya know? I think it's pretty cool! :)

An Awesome Movie.......2005-07-02

While Dragons: Fire and Ice did not have the best animation it could have, the excellent storyline more than made up for it. It is rare these days to find an animated movie that has an actual plot to it. Hats off to Dragons! A movie well-worth the time of any dragon lover.

Almost Feature-Film Quality .......2005-01-22

I actually liked this movie a lot. For a direct-to-video release, it was above and beyond par and exceeded all expectations.

1) The story made sense AND was relatively interesting (gasp!--a novel concept in the world of DTV releases!)
2) They actually did a lot of cool stylization; Celtic and Oriental--you can tell they put work into it (WORK!--yet another of the many unheard of concepts when making a DTV movie!)
3) The designs of the characters and even the dragons were pretty cool with only a few minor exceptions (see! MORE work and effort! The surprises go on and on!)
4) The opening backstory wasn't just "blah, blah, blah"; they actually had put some effort into the style and so continued it in the opening--which was actually cool (they didn't even stray into the realm of cliched storybook openings!)
5) An actual PLOT TWIST (oh, it's TOO MUCH!)

Really, the only downside was that the characters didn't move so well and a few minor coreography/fighting details that even most feature films miss. All in all, I applaud the makers--this movie is good in the DTV release view. It could even hold its own among some feature films.

For any child who loves action and fantasy.......2005-01-05

My 10 year old daughter thinks this is brillant.She's a tweener who is phasing out Barbie and Bratz and has fallen in love with this toy concept.Though this animation seems to be c-grade to me I am not it's target.I don't think children care about the quality of animation,direction if the concept moves them ( my daughter cannot stand Finding Nemo).The relationship between the human prince and princess is refreshingly platonic and perfect for this age.I would reconmend this for any fantasy loving child.

Product Description

They appear in ancient myths from around the world. The ultimate figure of power and destruction, dragons surely reside only in fairy tales and the pages of novels like The Hobbit.

But if this is so, how can we explain the sighting of "dragons" by people like the explorer Marco Polo and the ancient Greek historian Herodotus? Take a remarkable journey into the myths and legends of dragons. Ancient art and writings reveal the many sightings and stories that have propelled the legend of these awesome beasts through the ages. Meet scientists who contend that "dragons" were in fact real, now-familiar beasts, and others who suggest a more incredible explanation. Could dragons have actually existed, and could they still remain hidden in some remote corner of the earth?

The latest research, astonishing expert interviews and stunning art from around the world combine in DRAGONS.

dragons international.......2007-06-22

Cultures all over the globe and for centuries have described dragons. This film shows many beautiful paintings and statues from dragons across the globe. They are so widespread, I'm surprised they are not mentioned as Jungian archetypes. Unlike researchers that may treat one civilization as better than another, this work spoke of dragons in Europe, China, and the Americas with equal respect. Still, one interviewee said Occidental and Oriental dragons did not have the same characteristics or reputation. This reminded me of how others have said Wicca and Yoruba religions have nothing in common even though they may seem to.

The work never assumes that dragons did not or do not exist. In the same way that many have hypotheses about Atlantis, this work explores some hypotheses on dragons. Still, I thought it went far from exhausting ideas. On "Sagwa: the Siamese-Chinese Cat," they said dragons were metaphors for rivers; others say they are phallic metaphors.

When Leonard Nimoy narrates, he first asks a question then tries to answer it. I thought this was redundant and just meant to kill time. It certainly dumbs down the program. I appreciated the diverse interviewees seen in the work. One interviewee looked like he was Leonard Nimoy with a long beard.

Should this program win an Oscar for documentary? Of course not! Is it a cute thing to watch when you have some free time? Yes. I think parents whose children love dragons may want to get this or make sure their curious, young ones see it.

needs a little more gasoline to light the fire.......2006-08-19

Ring of Fire is more of a love story than a martial arts film, set in the cheesiest tradition of Romeo & Juliet. In L.A., the Chineese and Americans are constantly at each other's throats, fighitng both in and out of the ring. Don Wilson plays a doctor (Johnny) with martial arts skills, romancing the Maria Ford character (Julie), whose brother Brad (played by Dale Jacoby: Bloodmatch, No Retreat No Surrender) is obsessed with getting in the ring with Johhny's cousin - Terry (played by Steven Vincent Leigh: Deadly Bet, To Be The Best). Eventually, the 2 show off in a literal ring of fire, a short but good fight in the movie, fighting Thai style with broken glass (seen also in Kickboxer's 1 & 2). There is not a whole lot of fighting in the movie, but most of the fights are pretty good. Most of the move time is devoted to the building relationship between Johnny and Julie. Unfortunately, Don Wilson only has one fight in the movie, at the end. Other decent martial art stars featured in the film are Eric Lee and Vince Murdocco (Kickboxer 2, To Be The Best). One of the best lines of all time comes from this movie. Hands down to "I have some of Bruce Lee's favotie drink - WAAATAAAAH!
Overall, Ring of Fire is an average martial arts movie that throws in a decent love story, though very cheesy. There isn't a whole lot of action, but if you enjoy these on screen actors (for their skills of course), you will enjoy Ring of Fire. It is the best one in the trilogy.

"Have some of Bruce Lee's favorite drink-WAAATAAHHH!!!!!" .......2005-01-19

RING OF FIRE is one of Don "The Dragon" Wilson's best movies. It features also some of the biggest legends in professional kickboxing- Eric Lee (a frequent collaborator of Don's), Ron Yuan, Dale Jacoby, and Vince Murdocco(FLESH GORDON).

It is true that Don has only one major fight in the film. The rest of the time, he does a bit of sparring with his cousin and finds time to romance Maria Ford.

But his one fight in RING OF FIRE is still damn good, and by itself is worth the rent/buying price. Check it out.

Another Great Don Wilson flick!!.......2003-07-09

Don "the dragon " Wilson is a kick boxing legend. Winning 10 different world championships and proving his dragon style kung-fu was affective in the ring. Ring of Fire is one of my favorites. The plot is very well put together unlike some of Don's other films. Don only had one fight scene lasting a maximum 7 minutes. It has some great fights between what I like to call, "the asians" and the " white boys", Ring of Fire is a prety good martial arts/kick boxing film that gives you a action packed time!

AT LONG LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-05-18

After almost 12 years of looking hopelessly for this edition of Ring of Fire on VHS and DVD, and even asking people online and searching the web to see if someone taped a copy off of TV, the real deal is finally here on DVD! If you don't know what I'm talking about, there was about 4 minutes of sex and nudity cut out of all versions of this movie on VHS and DVD and was only shown on premium channels back around 1991 or 1992. After almost 12 years they finally decided to release it with the nudity. Even if you already own a previous edition on DVD or VHS this is still a MUST BUY for Maria Ford fans. You won't be disappointed and the movie's (finally) great now!!

great movie, great fights, EVEN A GOOD PLOT!.......2000-06-11

This is one of the very few movies of dons that I like. It shows great fight scenes keeps the action pumping has good dialouge and the training sequnces really stick with you! It shows the true athletisism af the masters because dispite his performance in his other movies don is a phenominal fighter. this movie gives his name some meaning.
