L'oeil du dragon

.......But oh so much fun! Yes indeed, step right up folks for here we have a real stinker; Witness in disbelief a lead actor (who happens to be none other than Joseph Merhi's brother!) who can barely speak the English language(!), some pretty lousy fight sequences throughout (especially surprising considering that the legendary kicking maestro Jean Frennette is on board here!), Bolo Yeung dancing...badly(!), and some of the very worst acting performances this side of an average children's nativity play! Yes indeed, this is a truly amateurish mess if ever I've seen one; But you know what? Such gross incompetence in every area only serves to make this all the more endearing; Truly, this took some staggering ineptitude to make by all those concerned. Yay, I hereby do award this travesty my highest recommendation for fellow bad movie lovers.

This is the worst movie of Jalal Merhi. He can't act he isn't great with martial arts. The story of the movie was too simple. The fights were not good. The only good thing in this movie was the music. I bought this movie becaus bolo yeung was in it. But Bolo didn't do anything. He didn't fight the only thing he did was talking and dancing.

1/10

I hadn't heard of Jalal Merhi before I saw this. Now I find myself collecting his movies - and for laughs!

Everything is so wrong in this movie. The acting is crude all around and the dialogue is extremely childish and silly in most parts - the director/writer Ron Hulme apparently had no skills in either of his roles.

Jalal is the star of the movie, a short kung-fu guy who sounds just like Apu from The Simpsons. His silly accent really distracts the viewer from everything else - like his model girlfriend who's a feet taller than him and the no doubt the worst actress I've ever seen on film.

The film is unintentionally funny through out and it's not boring at all - especially if watched between friends who really dig bad movies. I've seen many martial arts movies and this one really stands out because of the laughs it generates.

I laughed quite a bit at this film, but once the novelty wore off I was just in shock. Why? Mainly because the script is so bad that it's funny. The lead star Jalal was a boring actor and everyone else was just as bad. If you're thinking of getting this film because Bolo is in it, I wouldn't, cause he's dubbed and he's only in it for about 4 minutes with a crap part. The best thing about this film is that there are some good martial arts, but the plot feels like it was made up as they went along, and the editing is just ridiculous sometimes. However, if you like bad B-movie martial arts films, then this isn't so bad at all.

Haha it would appear I am the only one that liked this movie, but then again I have always been a sucker for cheap martial arts action movies. One thing I will say with Jalal Merhi type movies, is when watching you really have to get your mind in that state. If your expecting a good martial arts movie like Van damme, or Jackie chan you will for surely be disappointed. However for a cheap low budget movie (with bad acting) I didn't mind it. Jalal might have bad acting, but his martial arts skills (atleast to me) are worth watching for. Point is, I have seen worse and I have seen a lot better. But black pearls was on TV a few weeks ago and I actually enjoyed the movie. The other 2 friends of mine that watched it with me hated it :P But I have yet to find a bad Jalal Merhi movie other then G.O.D or whatever that crap was called. I liked Tiger Claws 1 2 and 3 and I loved Operation Golden Pheonix.
