User Reviews

Robert Z'Dar's chin is the real star.

Robert Z'Dar's chin deserves its own credit in the movie. This guy has a chin that would eat Jay Leno's chin for a lightweight snack and not even blink. How freaky would it be to see a chin that blinked? I wish I had a screenshot from the movie of Z'Dar wearing his chain mail because he looks JUST LIKE Buzz Lightyear.

Anyway, laughing at his chin is the only sort of entertainment you're going to get from watching "Dragonfight." Since Michael Paré is in the movie, my friends and I thought this would be a good one to rent and make fun of. Nope. This is a movie that's so bad it's *not* funny, and Paré wouldn't appear in it for more than 5 minutes.

Unless you like a 5-minute premise stretched out to 83 minutes by showing repetitive shots of people running in the desert and climbing hills, then I suggest you avoid this one by any means necessary.
