Powerful

Good concept, poorly executed.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

JUNGLEGROUND is a really cool 90s urban set Action Thriller starring the AWESOME RODDY PIPER R.I.P here he's fantastic as the Action Hero of this film.Roddy really was a great actor & should have made it bigger into an Action star but he didn't? He ended up,as the lead role at least in straight to video films, but that DEFINITELY doesn't mean his films are bad!!! JUNGLEGROUND is a fun Thriller about a certain area that's so bad & violent & gang infested that even cops won't go there & that place is called jungleground & our hero Roddy has a little mission down there, some kinda undercover drugs bust as he's a Cop & let's just say things go wrong & Roddy is from then on being Hunted in the urban hell hole by gangs & it's so much fun.The gangs are ridiculously un-scary but fun & like i said Roddy makes a great Hero & very likable & he does some cool action & runs alot through the dark & dangerous night time streets of JUNGLEGROUND. DEFINITELY check this little low-budget Action GEM, this film makes good late night entertainment Also if like me you love Roddy piper films check out THEY LIVE,TOUGH & DEADLY & SCI-FIGHTERS all good Action Thrillers. R.I.P RODDY PIPER

JUNGLEGROUND is an action vehicle for wrestling star Roddy Piper, the man who shot to cult fame with his role in John Carpenter's superlative THEY LIVE. This one was shot in Canada on a low budget which doesn't stop it from depicting a convincing run-down city full of post-apocalyptic stylings and the like. The plot is another variant on the old 'hunting humans' theme as done in the likes of THE RUNNING MAN and HARD TARGET, and there's absolutely nothing here that hasn't been done better elsewhere.Nonetheless, this is a fun film, and B-movie lovers will find it a treat. The villains are over the top goons while Piper pulls out the stops by using his wrestling moves on various one-on-one bouts with henchmen; there are throws and clotheslines galore. The first half of the story is all set up, but once we get to the action-dominated second half this doesn't disappoint, and it certainly delivers the goods for action fans.

Roddy Piper does good action scenes and bone crunching maneuvers, but not all his films turn out that great. But this one is fun and exciting. It isnt however up there with They Live, but Jungleground is a good way to kill time watching an action flick.

Roddy Piper tries too hard in this one note action piece. Basically a rip off of every other run for your life through a futuristic wasteland. Watch Escape from New York, The Ultimate Warrior, or the Road Warrior instead.
