Summary: Greatest Capoeira Movie ever!
Review: Some reviews I read say this is not that good of capoeira in this video, but I would like them to tell me where they have seen better. I have never seen more or better capoeira in another movie, even the clips i downloaded. This movie is amazing, and ever since I saw it as a young kid I've been in love with it and capoeira

Summary: Unrealistic fights, but good performance
Review: Mark dacascos is a good capoerista, but in this movie there is little "real" capoeira. The fights are kindof excessive, because the characters can take several kicks to the head without even bleed or faint. Some good capoeira music and good performance by Mark. Rent it first, it is not so good that you watch again.

Summary: One of the few Capoeira movies
Review: Even capoeiristas agree that this movie isn't all that. The first five minutes and the last five minutes are the only ones that contain any real capoeira, and that is mostly just flashy. It's true that the plot and acting are bad, but this is a fun movie to watch if you know anything at all about Capoeira. Make fun of it with your friends. The fun of doing that, at least, is worth 3 stars.

Summary: Good but Corny
Review: In all actuality, this movie was corny but there are some great scenes showing Capoeira Regional. The only draw back is that the villian of the movie does Capoeira Angola, which in my opinion is pitting the old (or traditional) versus the new.It is however a relatively good movie to show kids who want to know what Capoeira is all about. Or rather who want an idea about what Capoeira is about.

Summary: Only because it attracts so many new capoeiristas
Review: I don't understand how people could love this movie as much as some apparently do. The fact that its the only american movie where the hero is specifically a capoeirista does not make up for the fact that the script is horrible and very little of the capoeira in the movie is actually worth watching unless you are completely unfamiliar with the art. For me, this movie was painful to watch. The first roda with Mestre Amen at the beginning was pretty cool, but that's about it. Rent this movie first! Don't buy it only to find out that it's a horribly cheesy "Dangerous Minds" with capoeira. If you want capoeira, get Jogo de Capoeira and see much more capoeira and avoid the unfortunate plot of this movie.

Rating:
Summary: martial arts at its finest
Review: this movie captured me due to the rythmic use of music,the fight scenes were fantastic as allot of martial arts background is used along with the history of the fighting form. the storyline shows a bunch of no hoppers studying the martial arts form with the guidence of a ex-pupil of that school.along with the storyline, the music and fighting scenes, be sure that "only the strong" will make you want to view it again and again.

Summary: This is the best movie I've ever seen in "mi vida"!!!!!
Review: I absolutely loved this movie!!!! Mark Dacascos plays a very talented Brazilian Capoiera teacher! He helps out a group of rough students. I love the film because there are some very good looking guys in there (especially the guy that plays Arlando and of course Mark Dacascos)! After seeing this movie you'll want to keep seeing it over and over and maybe even want to take up martial arts! My 8 year old niece and my mom who is 53 aloso enjoyed this film as much as I did! You'll love it too! {I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS FILM!!!!: :-)

Summary: follow my way(good tune)
Review: follow my way(like i said,good tune.along with the rest of the soundtrack.)i definetely want to get the soundtrack.i'll buy the movie if the price is right.actually maybe the soundtrack will be good enough,cause i definetely need to move and groove when i hear those cool tunes.the movie itself needs a couple of sequels.actually they should have a tv series.then more people would catch on with this type of subject and it's history as well.they could have a series with somebody playing dacascuses great grandfather when he was a 30 something lad doing caporiera. well anyway,back to this movie.i guess there will be enough exposure to go around and catch the attention of future caporiera students and enthusiasts. overall,i give this movie a good overall rating and like i said,the soundtrack is really cool.
