Trojan Warrior

We had great fun watching this comedic actioneer. Great soundtrack and visually very different from what we are used to. Unusual use of color and composition but after a few minutes of viewing got into its head space. Sometimes the accents were a bit hard to understand but the pace kept up and didn't have time to dwell. Kickboxing Legend Stan "The Man" pulls off a fine performance with some good kickboxing sequences.Crazy characters keep rolling through sometimes with no reason other than to have a laugh. Eventhough the ending is predictable its still fun getting there. Looks like everyone had a lot of fun doing this movie and it is so different from the usual Hollywood fare. Reminicent of early Hong Kong spoofs. Cleverly put together but definately not a film for everyone- if you like gutter jokes, a bit of sleeze, action and laughs plus a beavy of babes,its worth a look.Why is it called Kick To The Head in the US as it misses joke at end of film.

The cover art (which features a man holding a scary pellet gun) would make it seem as if it's a martial arts film. (Hardly.)

I find it interesting that the film's real title is Trojan Warrior. (Trojan is a brand of condoms in the US) This movie is loaded with homoeroticism. If you like that stuff, then this film isn't that bad really. However, consider these points:

There are numerous close-ups of actors' groins & butts, (One scene even features every actor with an erection bulging in his pants.) the film is also bathed in gaudy colors like lime, peach, and red. From a cinematographer's standpoint, this movie's a drag queen! Several scenes feature characters standing EXTREMELY close to one another, occasionally touching as they converse. Also, the cousin of the hero likes women, and every other guy in the movie is trying to kill him. Is there a message here the filmmakers want to convey?

Shall I go into the fight scenes? (Yes, someone's private parts get grabbed in one fight.) The martial arts scenes are brief and unimaginative. No fancy stuff here, just your standard moves you'd see in an old Chuck Norris flick. There's also a car chase scene which may be the first ever LOW-speed chase put on film.

I mean really. This is not going to help the Australian film industry to make this kind of film with no values of any kind. Okay, if you're a stoner and have nothing better to do, then maybe. I think film-makers from here should try to show the rest of the world what great talented people we have, and this is not the vehicle for it. Come on now, this film is just tacky.

After watching about half of this movie I noticed something peculiar ... I found myself constantly switching through tv-channels to see what else is on - not exactly a good movie trait.

This movie is listed as being in a number of genres, and I must say it mostly failed misserably in every one of them. 80% through the movie I switched over to watch an old rerun instead. Bottom line - the whole movie felt as if the ones making it didn't exactly know what to make and ended up in a concoction with no discernable taste.

I had 2 free rentals on my video ezy card, my brother rented 2 movies, this and 'The master of disguise'.

I wasnt expecting this to be good, but I didnt expect it to resemble a grade 6 student film. cuz that would have been better, I know the guys who made it were just having fun and it was suposed to be cheesy and fun, but it wasnt, it was just mind numbingly bad. so bad that Stan 'the man's performance stood out among a sea of poo.

Out of the two films "Master of disguise" was light years above this, and I truly hated that also.

Avoid like the plague. that would be more pleasant though.
