Extreme Force

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
