Kwoon

Rating:
Summary: Surprisingly Fun
Review: "Direct to Video" is a term that still has a stigma associated with it. Usually it means bad movies.

The same can't be said for KWOON however. This direct to DVD series of shorts are a surprisingly funny, taught and, yes, sometimes well acted series. KWOON also excels in its production design and cinematography. This isn't a college thesis project; instead it's an honest to goodness attempt at making a story worth watching. And they succeed.

The DVD features several "extras" including writer/producer/actor/director Todd Roy visiting a Kung Fu tournament in China. His off the wall humor is quick and merciless, but never at anyone's expense but himself.

The KWOON DVD is something to watch....Todd Roy is someone to watch for.

Summary: Bad acting, Good Kung Fu...
Review: Cheesy as it is, if you like Simpsons humor you'll like this Vid.

Not to mention the kung fu isn't bad at all. I think the effort to bring in REAL martial artists in, is what appeals to me the most.

Interesting to note, that the KWOON guys were one of the 1st (if Not "THE" 1st) in their internet genre of making Kung Fu movies for the internet.

Last thing, is the site... ...

So much bonus information...You have to read the Pilot script that Todd has written, It's hilarious!

Summary: I laughed, I cried, I wet myself
Review: First, let me say that I'm impressed that Todd Roy's mother wrote the first review. Not only does this show a justified belief in her son's work, but also a level of tecno-saviness that MY mom doesn't possess. Truly, mother and son have skills far beyond those of others in their age cohort.

Second, I really did laugh so hard that my pee came out. Just a bit, but there was still wetness.

Third, I'm thrilled to be working on the comic adaptation of KWOON. It's easy to be thrilled when the material is so high quality.

BUY KWOON!

Summary: I know these freaks!
Review: Hehe, I'm Chet Braun and the KWOON crowd are my kungfu brothers (fellow students and instructors).

I suppose I could have twisted an arm or two and got this dvd free but I hate to see Todd pushing a mower across someone's grass for minimum wage. So, I bought one. And my wife bought a second so we'd get free shipping (a highly recommended practice).

Seriously, this crew put their hearts into this project and even a bit of their blood. The kung fu is genuine and Onasis' choreography rocks. The acting? Well...it brought me to tears and I hope as it improves it's still as hilarious.

The cinematography is quite good for a group that started from scratch and learned on the job. A big thumbs up and definitely 5 stars from me!

Well done KWOON!

Summary: It was as much fun to shoot as it is to watch!
Review: Hello all. My name is Tara an I was the camera operator on this. I'm so proud of Todd and everyone that really worked hard on this. It's truley hilarious and one your kids will love too! My 8 year old son always wants to see this now. And he thinks I'm super cool for working on it too. *grin*
Todd is a really awesome guy and he is that funny in real life too. He is just non-stop and he lends that energy to these fliks. It's really a fun show to watch! Way to go! Go out and get this and show all your friends.

Summary: I made this DVD
Review: Hi my names Todd and I made the KWOON DVD (so I had to give it 5 Stars) I wanted to try and convince you to buy this by making you a promise: It will not be the worst DVD you own. It may not be the best...but I can promise it won't be the worst. Consider that when you watch KWOON, you we see us fight the Grim Reaper, a Mummy and even the Mob. "My Gosh...in one DVD?" you ask. YES!!! And a lot more! Now I know most of you have never heard of us and you may just want to go buy Pirates of the Caribbean and thats cool, but I don't see Johnny Depp here talking to you...do you know why? He does not like you. We at KWOON on the other hand love and cherish you, hoping you'll give our show a chance. Well, thanks for your time and now I must head back to work mowing lawns.

Review: I remember watch Kwoon, a long time ago, and I must say this is some of the best comedy I have seen. The Martial arts is great and the actors make you want to keep watching. They are all funny and I hope to see many more Kwoon DVD's; with a lot more episodes.

Summary: I had doubts, but they are now gone
Review: I will say this, I laughed out loud many times. I'm not part of the KWOON folks, but caught a review of the DVD on Cinescape and figured I would give it a shot. Normally I don't go for indie films, but you guys changed my mind. For those of you reading this, take it from me and give the DVD a shot. Its packed with great bonus materials too that are fricken funny. That dude Todd is a crack up and I got a kick out of how much effort all of you put into making your movies. THis is something I wish I could have done. Great DVD Great Show. It now sits on the top of my DVD shelf. Kudos to all of you.
