My dad, massive action movie buff, hired this out as a zone-out, fight movie. I sat down to watch it with him because I had nothing better to do. I spent the first 20 minutes trying to figure out if this was a joke or not. Apparently they want you to, at least pretend to, take it seriously.
Basically, the hero, a reformed Robin Hood-esquire thief, was betrayed by his partners and now is being hired to retrieve a seal, which they had stolen. The movie follows this hero, as he goes around beating up groups of stereotypical minorities, until he defeats his insane nemesis.
I spent the whole time laughing at how utterly terrible it was, yet I enjoyed myself immensely. It's worth a watch, just for the ridiculousness of it.

It was last night that I got around to seeing this film. I expected something of a martial arts fest and I was right. But what was utterly disappointing was that it was topped off with so much useless garbage that I barely could keep watching. Michael Qissi, though he does and OK job with the stunt choreography, should not direct. He lacks the capability to direct others and the cinematography was totally sick. It is clearly evident that the guy had no proper experience directing a good movie. One thing props up in my mind every time I think about the film, the betrayal. The leads character is betrayed at the beginning of the story, a shot to the heart. However, instead of treating it with certain horror to it, the guy openly touches his wound and rather than show himself the blood, he holds it out for others to see, that too at full arms length. The martial arts are not too shabby but I was disappointed to find out that most of Qissi's martial arts focused on the sheer strength of the fighter. It is a well known fact, since the late Bruce Lee's time, that it does not matter how strong the opponent is, It matters how you quick you react and how fast you can move. Overall, I see that the movie is not for me nor for any fan of the true spirit of martial arts. However, if you want a story that can show you all the violence you want coupled with some extremely bad acting and direction, this should be at the top of your pick.

Just finished this B- action movie. and i have to say i liked it a lot!! Echavaria show he is indeed the new J.C. Van Damme(Average acting, Great fight scenes)But the coolest part has to be the chemistry between Echavaria and Kong Li(Kickboxer's Tong Po)They Try to Copy the Rush hour routine and succeed. Some scenes are very funny!! especially the car scene, Were echavaria Gives a great ricky martin impression(i laughed my ass off) you have to keep in mind that this was a pretty low Budget production, so all the credits go to the actors who really keep this one moving!! The direction is pretty good and especially the fight scenes at the end are the best i've seen in years! Latin Flavor All The WAY

This movie is the best movie ever made. If I were to rate this movie... with 1 being not so extreme, and 10 being extremely extreme I would definitely give this movie a 10.
The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head that is actually better than this extremely original story-driven movie is Armen and Bullik (quite possibly the best TV show ever).
I mean seriously there is no movie better than this one. It has everything you could possibly ask for in a movie. Drama, Action, Suspense, Supreme Martial Arts tactics... I mean everything!
This movie is a must see!

Movie was good but exotic dancers like Carolyn Calres, Jennifer Adams and Angela Rust were great. I was looking to get more information about them, after all they stole my heart. The full cast review don't have there names any place to find more information about them, please let me know.
Martial arts champion Hector Echavarria stars as a thief who wants to go straight. When his cohorts convince him to pull one last job, he finds himself in the dangerous realm of the powerful and wealthy Action/Adventure
Marcos DeSantos is a Robin Hood-type thief whose plans on retiring from the life of crime are halted when his partners Cole and Bianca convince him to return for one last score. When the object of the routine heist turns out to be the priceless Sacred Seal of Mongolia, DeSantos must overpower its protector, the Mongolian President's mammoth bodyguard, Kong Li. But the success of the heist is short lived when, in a stunning act of betrayal, Cole turns his gun on DeSantos, shooting him twice in the chest. Marcos DeSantos miraculously survives the gunshots. He is kept alive with the help of the Mongolian President and his cunning assistant, Sharka, who believe DeSantos is their only hope of recovering the Sacred Seal from Cole and Bianca. Joining forces with Kong Li, DeSantos goes in search of the friends who betrayed him and the Seal that eludes him.

Extreme Force was a movie with a lot of action. It was nice seeing Hector the world martial arts champion in a film. He acts very well,and his martial movements are awesome, I would think as good as Bruce Lee. I have seen Hector a lot in martial arts magazines, he really knows what he is talking about. I am a martial artist and I can tell all his movements in the movie are true and real, that's very rare to see now days! I thought the plot was interesting, although kind of confusing sometimes. I am looking forward to seeing this champ on the screen again. A real fan, Matt

This movie is an very entertaining M.A movie. The Cast of this movie was excellent with Hector Echavarria (The Falklandman) Michel Qissi (kickboxer 1,2, terminator woman) and Youssef Qissi (The Falklandman). The fights were good directed only I was a little disappointed of Michel Qissi. We didn't see his true Muay Thai Skills. For an american movie the fights were great. The bad thing about this movie was the acting. Echavarria is a great martial artist but a bad actor. Michel and Youssef Qissi were normal. The story was simple. The directing skills of Michel Qissi were very good and I hope he is going to make so more movies.
8/10 (only the martial arts) 7/10 (the normal rating)

Although shot on a very low budget Michael Quissi (director and co-star) manages to instill some real quality into this production, which puts it above others in its class. I had never seen a Hector film before and I was quite impressed, although for some reason the U.K video has been retitled Extreme Dragon. This happens a lot in the U.K. The people who want these movies will look for the titles they are made under, changing them will not take them to a wider more mainstream audience. I look forward to Hector and Michael's next collaboration.

I thought Extreme Force was an exciting movie. I thought Michel Qissi did a great job as Kong Li. Up and coming Youssef Qissi was great also. I thought this guy Hector Echavarria would be awesome, but I was very disappointed. In my mind Kong Li and Youseff Qissi should have been the main focus of the movie. I feel the movie is overall worth watching because of Kong Li.
