This is a compilation of the Hellraiser hardcore party recorded at April 26th 2003 Zuidlaren, Holland in the Prins Bernardhoeve Hallen. About 3000 party-people where divided over 2 area's going wild on one of the hardest music styles known to mankind. The next list of DJ's played in Area 1. and most of them are on the DVD as well: Buzz Fuzz, Cut A Kaos, E-Noid, Leviathan, Negative A, Outblast, Paul Elstak, Promo, Rotterdam Terror Corps, The Alienator, Tommyknocker. MC: Ruffian Area 2: Bass-D & King Matthew, Darkraver, Dazzler, Distortion, Gizmo, Rob Rob & Mc Joe, Vince. MC: Joe

The music on this DVD is all live recorded, so the music quality is not all that good. But seeing all the people going wild is just great. Watch Rotterdam Terror Corps with it's live-act containing strip-girls. Also there is a half an hour special of Leviathan. They give a great breakcore/hardcore show away up to 200 bpm. Leviathan alias Tellurian is also one of the hellraiser party organizers. This DVD is currently out of print. Voted it 8/10 but is strictly for the hardcore.

The movie is about a farmer who took a lone, but wasn't able to pay his debts. So they killed the farmer. The Machudo brothers take over the farm and so they take over the debts as well. The only way to pay these debts is to harvest the crops. But a corrupt cop tries everything to prevent the machudo brothers from harvesting.

Although I did like the movie I still rated it a 5 because the directing is very bad. I wouldn't surprise me if they did every take only once. I don't mind that the acting is bad because they aren't real actors, but the dialogs should have been made smoother and the fighting scenes (what the movie is about) should be faster and more realistic. Especially with the skills they possess it could have been done much better.

The skills are for real, that's why I bought the movie in the first place. I like to see that they just used (i think) a couple of friends for acting in it. And I like to see unprofessional people trying to act. But I still think they could have done a better job.

I also noticed 2 things: It looks like they filmed with a slower frame rate because the pictures ain't smooth. I also noticed some farting during the movie which doesn't make any sense. But because of that it's funny.

I'm glad they used their own voices, because it would been worse if they narrated it in English in the way they did with a lot of kung fu movies. I hope they give it another try, and I'll buy that movie too.

Ta Kun, a student of Shaolin, is bullied all the time by his fellow students. Ta Kun is forced to leave the Shaolin Temple once a corrupt monk, Hutak, takes over. An elder monk, Hunang, tells him to go to a Wu-Tang style family under the guide of a guy who looks exactly like, or is Ka-Yan Leung aka Beardy from legend of a fighter and the Victim. Ta Kun doesn't like learning kung fu here, so he's got to work a lot. But while he's working he's learning kung fu. In the end he's got to fight the new leading monk of the Shaolin Temple.

This movie is very slow in the beginning and has some typical characters, like the villain monk who's got some big scars at his face. The fighting scenes are not remarkable. 5/10
