Dragon Fighter Reviews: beware "Aliens" there is a new threat out there!  2008-03-06 - While cloning is the catch word of this millenium it appears that nature knows best anyway and highly speeds up the growth of certain species to fit with our limited atention spans,or is it just the movie length it had to fit?
It appears that while Dean Cain is quite a good actor he is no acomplished aircraft mechanic( my son could fix a fuel line faster and has).
This movie has it's moments and seems to move along at a decent speed.
Dragon Fighter - Worst Movie - stay away  2007-11-02 - Waste of money for producer to produce, waste of raputation for a actors / actresses to act, waste of money for consumer to buy, waste of time for movie lovers to watch.
In this corner! Dean "Superman" Caine - VS - a Dragon!  2006-08-12 - I really love this movie.
Is it because I wasn't expecting too much? Maybe. But I've watched it now several more times and it really holds up under repeated viewings.
Dean Caine trades in his superhero spandex & cape for a helicopter playing the new head of security for a super secret underground lab. Using powers of deduction which would make the Man of Steel kryptonite green with envy, Caine soon realizes he's guarding a lab full of genetic engineers attempting to revive & reconstruct those high flying, fire breathing creatures of legend - dragons.
The cast is full of fun B movie type actors who infuse the required fun & fright factor into an equally solid script. This isn't Dragonslayer, nor is it Dragonheart or even Reign of Fire - this is Sci-Fi Channel produced low budget fare, but it delivers a lot of bang for the buck. The director goes a little overboard with his stylish split screen action at times, however it's never really annoying.
So then let's see. Terri Hatcher, former girlfriend of Superman Dean Caine is fighting female dragons over on Desperate Housewives and Dean Caine is fighting "real" lab produced dragons in this flick. Looks like their careers are paralleling each other's nicely, wouldn't you say?
Dean Cain completely ruins this movie  2006-07-22 - Some scientists in an underground lab are experimenting with DNA and create a dragon which gets loose and stalks them around the facility. The setting is appropriately claustrophobic and the sets are done quite well. The CGI dragon looks passable, not great but believable enough I guess. The characters are all pretty good - EXCEPT Dean Cain. He's the security guard, and he's a pompous, self-righteous prick. His knowledge of childhood fairy tales makes him more knowledgeable about dragons than all the scientists put together. He single handedly makes this movie absolutely unwatchable. That's too bad because without him, I think this might have been pretty good. Well, if not for the fact that the idiot director has a fetish for that split screen effect where they show four different scenes running simultaneously in the four different quadrants of the screen. Even that would have only been a one star deduction from what could have been a four star movie, but Dean ruins the whole thing.
Recommendation: Skip it.
horrid  2006-07-04 - I love dragons, and I love dragon movies, I also like B grade movies, but this one is bad. The acting was woeful, I mean really really bad, the story was ok. I tried and tried to like this movie, but I just couldn't.
It might of been because of lack of money, but the same shot of the dragon over and over, flipped and played again was a bit much.
The over use of multiple split-screen shots got a bit annoying, they work well when done right, but in this move they where done all wrong.
If I where you I would stay clear of this one, but then again watching this will make other bad movies better....
