Indefensibly bad and an abomination: Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon SUCKS so badly it turns itself inside out
17 July 2007
I found this film on the bottom shelf of the video store I go to and I gave it a shot. Stupid me: It was on the bottom of the shelf for a reason....

This want-to-be martial arts film takes place here on the island of Guam (BTW, the Government of Guam got duped into giving the producer and director the budget for the film in hopes of encouraging tourism on the Island. Of course all the producer and director gave them was a stupid worthless movie. It seems the producer and director got 800,000$ from the Government of Guam for a 3rd party loan and then the film makers defaulted on the loan, formed a new company and bought back the film for 9,000$. And of course Guam is out the 800,000$...).

Two sisters steal a jade statue from some Japanese gangsters and Max Haovc, visiting the island to photograph something or another, helps the sisters out. Max Havoc (yeah, that's his name. You kinda get an idea about how good the script is to a film where they name their main character Max Havoc) was a kick boxer who killed a man in the ring (we know this from the 450 times the incident is shown in SLOW MOTION FLASHBACK).

The martial arts fights are 4th rate, the acting is 5th rate, the music is 6th rate, the direction is 7th rate and so on...

The whole movie has a "rip-off" vibe to it. Carmen Electra is billed as the star and she's in it for about 45 seconds, so yeah, it's one of those "rip-off" movies on the bottom of the video store shelf. It's best to just leave it there, collecting dust.

Don't waste your time or money. Seriously God awful....
