Wow! Such a good movie.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
It's so god d*mn awful that you feel genuinely sorry for the director and producer and all the awful people that made max havoc: curse of the dragon a reality. The film is so bad you feel like tossing everyone involved a quarter so they can get some food, water, and a room to get out of the rain for the night.It's about a sport's photographer, Max Havoc, who goes to Guam to take some pictures of a hotel and ends up in a fight over a jade dragon. It's a stupid 80's action movie made in 2004, how stupid is that?it's painful to sit thru the whole thing, but me and my friends did. It's bad, start to finish. It's 90 minutes of my life I will never get back
Max Havoc - What can I say about Max Havoc? In 2003 producer John Laing and notable (for all the wrong reasons) director Albert Pyun convinced the government of Guam to invest $800,000 for the filming of Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon. Laing and Pyun touted that the film would create 300 jobs on the impoverished island, and that those individuals would get the chance to work again when they shot a sequel later in 2004. They even promised a third film for the following year. Guam bent over backwards for these goofs, with businesses big and small offering their assistance in order to further develop Guam's economy. According to some, Laing and Pyun actually suggested that the film would receive a theatrical release. Okay everyone, get ready for a countdown. 3, 2, 1.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!Guam's motivation for funding the film was economic development. In the end the crew members from both the U.S. and Guam were never paid. Once Laing's company officially defaulted on the loan, financial shenanigans occurred that ended with Guam making a mere $9,000 from the deal. Laing's Up North Entertainment, meanwhile, managed to buy the film back from the bank that paid off the loan for $83,000. Someone went to the Tanya York School of Business. David Carradine, Richard Roundtree, and Carmen Electra (for about 15 seconds) all appear Somebody else here said in their comments that Albert Pyun couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag, that's wrong. Albert Pyun and John Laing couldn't direct or produce their way out of a pay toilet.
Do not rent this movie. If you read the other comments, its obvious that this film is a total flop. It's not even worth watching just to laugh at how lame it is. But the truth is that the people of Guam were scammed by the movie's producers. The Guam Government thought that this film, featuring famous actress Carmen Electra, would help advertise Guam's beauty and increase tourism. So the government lent the producers money to help finance the film. Guam is a small island in the middle of nowhere. It's very rare that any one of relative fame visits the island. The people were very excited about a movie being filmed on their island. Many spent long hours in the hot sun as film extras. The film crew stayed in nice hotels and were treated like royalty. The producers took advantage of the islanders excitement and gave them nothing in return. The Governemnt has never been payed back for the money they lent on this lousy film. Do the good people of Guam a favor. Instead of paying money on this film, stuff a couple of dollars in an envelope and send it to the Gov Guam. Or better yet, visit Guam and experience the islands beauty for your self.
I recently had the opportunity to view "Max Havoc" and was pleased with what I saw. It was shot in beautiful Guam and has an all-star cast, David Carradine, Carmen Electra, Mickey Hardt & Richard Roundtree. For the most part, "Havoc" was enjoyable and I would recommend to anyone that is a fan of traditional Martial Arts films.Exotic action/adventure and martial arts blend together in a new franchise: Max Havoc. In Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon, Max Havoc (Mickey Hardt), world famous kickboxer turned sports photographer, returns to Guam and faces the relentless Black Dragons, in an reluctant quest to save the lovely Goody sisters (Joanna Krupa, Tawney Sablan) and to avenge the death of good friend Tahsi (Richard Roundtree).
