i have always have a soft spot for don the dragon wilson film . none of them be great film and but the like of the cybertracker film and ring of fire series and out for blood with pm entertainment be very entertaining b flick . however and sign a contract with roger corman probably wasn not the wise idea a many of these film be low quality and not very interesting . i wasn not expect a lot from this when i rent it and but wasn not ready for incredibly bad cinematic cheesefest thrown at me . this be a bad film . this be bad . although it may have some comedy value and there be far more more entertaining example of so bad it good film so i can not think of one good reason to watch this . if anything and the career of art camacho serve a proof that sometimes the production company have more influence on a film than the director . the only film he direct that be actually worth anything be recoil for pm entertainment but everything in it scream joseph merhi who be the main man behind pm entertainment and bear nothing in common with the movie art camacho direct for other production company and so i highly doubt he be responsible for make the movie turn out the way it do . since the demise of pm he be responsible for ultra forgettable effort like 13 dead men and redemption as well a the hilariously bad albert pyun tribute film gangland . but with sci fighter it seem he hit a new low . first and it quite remarkable that a movie like this could be make in 2004. the whole virtual reality thing be so 1992. there a good reason why nobody make movie like the lawnmower man and arcade anymore and and that because computer have become an integral part of our everyday life and nobody find it scary anymore . likewise and virtual reality have all but die . nobody be really interested in plug some bulky object into their head anymore and awkwardly try to control it through a sub standard design a the good old computer monitor or tv screen be a lot more convenient and comfortable . the antiquated plot be about a genius who create a virtual reality fight sim for his grandson . apparently while youre play it take control of your mind so in case you hadn not already figure something similar and a virus get into it and lock his mind inside the game so his dad jump to the rescue and the only way to free him be to complete every level accord to grandpa . woohoo . sound great doesn not it . now let just think about that for a second shall we . a virus get into it . firstly and virus can not just generate out of nowhere . programmer write virus . and a virus that run on one platform would not work a another in the same vein that a ps2 game would not work in an xbox . somebody would have have to have cod a virus for this game while it be in production . and dang and how do old grandpa know that the only way out be to complete all the level if he never see the virus before . but be get carry away now and a we all know this completely stupid and nonsensical plot be just a thin excuse for fight scene after fight scene . so how do it fair on this scale . not very well and be the answer . all of the fight take place in area clearly inspire from beat em up video game but unfortunately none of them be particularly well choreograph and have no real interesting touch so it just come off a tiresome . a for the performance and all i really think about don be poor guy . he just leave with a bad part and and when his character isn not fight and all he do be moan about his son behaviour . even when grandpa show him this virtual reality game and he just hit out with there no way he go to be play this . would you respond like that if you be introduce to a device which bring your mind into another world . and then there cynthia rothrock and who go around dress in clothes that look 25 year too young for her . at one point she refer to a a lovely young lady which give me a good laugh . a for lorenzo lama and he there . there i say and he there . no more and no less . he only appear in a few scene and interacts with about 2 other character . i be still try to come up with a good reason for this character to exist and and i be not find one . it painfully obvious that he be just cast for name value alone so they can plaster the name of three b grade star on the cover . overall and the premise make this doom from the start but i wasn not expect the huge level of stupidity it throw at me . it cheap and it bore and although there be a few unintentional laugh along the line and they aren not worthy of the price of a rental . best leave to collect dust at the bottom of the video shelf for year to come .
