Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Good action, bad editing, and a so so story.......2007-04-28

This movie was supposed to be a sequel to the well received Hong Kong action feast Storm Riders. What it is seems to be more of a TV series edited to be a full length movie. The cuts are bad and the English dub, is sub par, especially the annoying villain. However the fights were amazing, and the special effects, though not on the level of Hollywood or even Hong Kong blockbusters were entertaining. I gave the movie 3 Stars for it's great, though Power Rangeresque action, and it's full hearted but low budgeted attempt at making a sequel to a movie I thought really needed one. If you like the first movie and you like over the top action, you'll like this movie. But if you're looking for a movie that has the same feel and polish as the first movie you will be dissapointed.

2 out of 5 stars Soap opera?.......2007-04-02

Thought I was actually going to see a sequel to the original movie. Instead It looked like a cut up version of a tv series. Not much action and story was confusing because too many pieces were cut out.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best "comic style" live action films.......2007-03-29

I have watched a few other films that tried to do this same story, but none compare to this one. By far my favorite comic style story in live action. Special effects are so much better that the others.

3 out of 5 stars Cartoon Superhero Fun for fans of Wuxia and Kung Fu movies - just don't expect too much!.......2007-03-14

Based on the long running and (in Hong Kong) best selling comic book of the same title, "Storm Riders" is best viewed as a comedic romp like "Dragon Tiger Gate" (likewise based on a popular HK comic book). Pretty boy Ekin Cheng plays a happy-go-lucky Lightray (or Nightcrawler) to Aaron Kwok's a brooding, muscular Orion (or Wolverine type), while Shu Qi and Christie Cheung stand around looking good, respectively, in buckskin leather or sheer fabric, and Super-Kung Fu Sword Overlord Sonny Chiba (chewing scenery left and right) has a ball being a cross between a blow hard and an evil demigod like Darkseid or Thanos.

"Storm Riders" is utterly mindless, and occassionally silly entertainment. Those looking for `old school' Shaw Brothers `bricks & baseball bats' gong fu action, or literary wu-xia (like "Hero", "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" or "The Night Banquet) should look elsewhere. If one is looking for clean kung-fu fantasy entertainment for the kids, this should suffice. It can be fun. Just make sure you aren't expecting too much.

4 out of 5 stars The Storm Riders.......2007-02-04

This movie is actually fun to watch. Plenty of action. The Special Effects are good. Have fun with this one...Four Stars!!

          Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. LANGUAGES: English (Dolby Digital 2.0), Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0), Spanish (Subtitles), SYNOPSIS: A group of radical Vietnam vets become broadcasting pirates and take on a Presidential candidate in this crazy comedy. The vets and their leader, 'Captain,' are television raiders flying all over the country in a B-29 they turned into flying broadcasting station S&M TV, jamming the airwaves wherever they go. Their self-assigned mission for the past 20 years is to keep the public informed about government activity to stop them from launching another foolish war like Vietnam. To do this they monitor the broadcasts of other television stations and when they don't like what they hear, they bust in and expose the lies. The bulk of the story centers around their final mission: an all-out attempt to keep Mrs. Willa Westinghouse, an ultra-conservative Presidential candidate and strong proponent of the Cold War and military strength, from winning the election.
