Summary: Here There be Dragons
Review: A fairly entertaining monster movie, but the effects are somewhat questionable. Dean Cain seems to be making a lot of these movies where he is stuck in a prison/bomb shelter being stalked by a monster or supernatural force. (Do a search for "Boa"). There is some strange camerawork with multiple split screens. It doesn't work very well.

Summary: Lower Budget Reign of Fire
Review: Although it's starting to look like there's a Dean Cain genre,of people trapped underground (under water) with him leading them out, this is one of the better entries.The Dragon may not have had the same budget as the one in Reign of Fire but it's decently executed.On the other hand despite some mis-steps the script for this one is actually better.If you like creature features like Boa, Crocodile, Komodo,Python etc you won't be disappointed.

Summary: FIRE BREATHING FUN
Review: Director Philip Roth rises above the B movie status in this cleverly filmed sci fi movie. By using multiple screen shots and loading us with a cache of completely unbelievable characters, he focuses mainly on the genetically engineered dragon, and that's why this movie is fun.
For a low budgeter, the dragon effects are very good; unfortunately, the CGI guys don't do as well with the helicopter scenes, but since the dragon is the star, who cares?
Dean Cain gives another one of his earnest, good guy performances as the security guard who saves the day.
The movie is fun to watch and we can predict the ending, but if you like good old fashioned fun, this one passes.

Summary: There can be only one dominant species!
Review: Dragon fighter was a pretty decent flick. I personally like B-movies, and this was one of the better ones recently.The plot - who cares? A poor man's reign of fire. By cloning some remains, russian scientists bring back a 1,000 year old dragon. Of course it runs amok. The world is in danger, and it's up to Dean Cain to come to the rescue. There you go. The thing about this one is that it featured some really cool camera work. The cinematography was great, and made for a really cool looking movie. Whoever the director was, they should give him a try at a big budget movie. The sound was also top notch, but could have been better in the surround department. My only gripe with this DVD is that it isn't presented in Widescreen format. Other than that, it makes for a great rental.

Summary: TERRIBLE!
Review: Everything from the acting to the visual effects in this film are rediculous! I've seen better films that cost less than this mess! Anybody remember "The Blair Witch Project?" Skip this fiasco! Grade: F

Summary: Mostly bad, but if you like cheesy...
Review: Hey, I understand this movie is DTV. I understand that there was little-to-no budget on this film. And I'm cool with it. But even acknowledging that, "Dragon Fighter" still isn't that great of a movie. Why? Because it's a rip-off of every isolated-area monster film since "Anaconda." A giant CGI creature is hunting down worthless characters one by one in a secluded spot that eventually blows up in the end. Dean Cain stars as Dean Cain in this film, proving once again that while he can always seem like a real nice guy, he's just not that good of an actor. The monster in this movie is a dragon, but it's a small dragon, about the size of a sports car. And it breathes very little ammounts of fire. I suppose it's a baby dragon, but it's not all that scary. And it looks very, very fake. UFO Films generally does a decent job with their CGI, and while this doesn't hit their rock-bottom worst (like "Boa"), it does get low. Phillip Roth directed what could've been a little bit cool but instead is just a retread of every other B-monster movie in the past 10 years. I did like how it seemed to parody Michael Crichton in a few areas, but that's about as creative as it gets. The characters are very annoying (except the cook), the scenes are horrendously predictable, and the acting is very, very bad. In short, if you like B-movies with cheesy acting and a contrived plot, you'll enjoy "Dragon Fighter." Everyone else should see "Reign of Fire."

Summary: Bad bad bad
Review: I don't think i've ever seen a worse film than this. The acting is bad, the special effects even worse and I can't find the words to descripe how much the script sucks. I don't know wether to cry or to laugh. Stay away from this film!!

Summary: i hear theres a sequel in the making as well
Review: pretty cool digitalized dragon and a few good scenes. average movie for low budget. did have some cool scenes where there was multiple split screens going at once, think it even got up to 6 split screens for a couple scenes, guess they wanted to try somethin different to get peoples attention on this film. but overall a pretty good rental for a killer dragon flick. hopefully the sequel will be pretty good.
