Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining
Review: Alright lets be honest.. This movie sucks. The only people who i think would honestly enjoy this movie, is fans of power rangers. the movie is completely power ranger related... 3 characters from the show appear in it... the director and producer worked on power rangers... the stunts are very simular... and i dont know if its just me but all the hench men seem to take falls just like the puddies did on power rangers... hmmmmmmmmm. well anyway besides the complete power rangers crew involved in this movie it does has its moments. who would have known "adam" and "skull" could make such a team? the action of jonny yung bosch is pretty impressive. makes me wonder why he is doing anime voice acting now instead of action shows/movies? jason narvy is just there for comic relief... his counterpart from power rangers, paul schrier (bulk) makes a brief appearance as a bar owner. the video is very bad.. looks like a normal sony cam corder that one could buy at a best buy... o well... if your a fan of power rangers then i can guarentee you'll enjoy this... but if your not a fan of power rangers.. then your prolly in for a big laugh

Summary: Wicked Game
Review: Also known as WICKED GAME, it is flat-out amazing that EXTREME HEIST, starring former "Power Ranger" Johnny Yong Bosch, has only been released direct to video. Sure, the picture quality could defintely have been better, but the movie has so much action and humor, it's almost impossible to hold that against it.

From the first thirty seconds, we get our first martial arts fight, and the action, which is reminiscent of Jackie Chan old school flicks, only gets better as it goes.

That's all that I need to say in this review. Trust me, EXTREME HEIST speaks, and kicks, for itself.


Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I thought this was an excellent movie, then acting was great, martial arts sequences were awesome and it was a beleivable plot line. Johnny and Jason did a great job, though it was very different from their acting on the PR series, that's probably what they were going for... All in all, 3/5 stars.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The 1 star is for the DVD quality, the movie gets 3 stars.
Review: The reason why I gave the DVD a 1 star is because I don't think the releasing company didn't even take the time to even remaster the soundtrack! The picture quality looks old, grainy and weathered, the image is distorted and the colors are uneven. The sound-quality is a Dolby Digital 2.0 track, and it sounds like snakes hissing at the screen, but I don't see any snakes. The movie isn't even in Widescreen Presentation it's in the lousy Fullscreen Version.

Overall Grade:

Picture: NO STARS

Sound: NO STARS
Movie: *** out of *****

In case you're wondering this movie stars two of the cast members from the original Power Rangers show! Watch only if you can stand the terrible picture and sound.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not as good as it could be
Review: this is a really good movie....plot wise anyway. the editing was pretty bad though. some of the shots look they were filmed with a home video camera. there is some dubbing done on speaking parts that is really noticable. other than that, the movie is great. lots of martial arts action and some funny one-liners.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie, though I'm biased.
Review: Though the picture is a little grainy, and sound is a tad uneven, the movie itself is great! Though, you have to have an appreciation for such things. Loads of violence (all the stunts are real, by the way) and some cussing. Though, the most Johnny Bosch says is "hell," but others say worse. Besides the cool action and tight setting, it's a really s one of those things where you have to pay attention to the entire movie, or else you'll miss something that might come up later on. Not only does it have action and a good plot, there's comedy too. The two thieves (Billy Ray and Guile) have a little trademark that is sort of corny, but it's really cool. Just beware, there are a ton of cliches and corny phrases.

Other than the aforementioned faults (which there are few of), this movie is great for any original Power Rangers' fan or any martial arts fan!! Also for those who like movies about thieves on a mission!!
