    Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
    Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
    Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
    Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
    Tom Swartzbaugh Easy-going movie. Good for younger viewers.I have nothing against David Caradine, but I howled with laughter at the following scene...David Carradine and his younger protégé are captured by the evil warlord. In a take-off from the end of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, they are left each trying to balance on a wobbly wooden post with a noose around their neck. Also, there is only one rope looped over some overhead anchor point so that if one falls they both die.They start bickering over who is at fault for getting them captured. Fed up with being lectured, the younger man finally says, "Well, if you're so wise, what are you doing hanging from a rope!" ...
    BethAngel48 It certainly wasn't bad. I enjoyed it. Two of the main characters were very likable in fact and i was not bored whilst watching. John Reardon is quite talented and attractive. I hadn't heard of him before seeing this movie,now i shall keep my eyes peeled.'Son of the Dragon' has action,adventure,comedy and romance all entwined into the story line.I would recommend this particular movie to anyone aged between 15 and 30 whom martial arts and adventure orientated films appeal to.If you enjoyed the T.V mini series 'Maro Polo or films such as 'The Mask of Zoro' or 'House of Flying Daggers' i think you may enjoy this.
    symphonyofnames Unless you're twelve, this movie really isn't worth it. It's obviously a low-budget film with B actors, and with a genre like fantasy that sometimes requires intense CGI work that's not good. I knew it would be bad when I rented it. I enjoy laughing at bad movies. I didn't know how bad though. It's bearable, until after hour 2, then it really starts to burn. Fighting styles go between normal fighting that obey the laws of physics, and wire-fighting. There's no real explanation for the transitions. It has a plot, but once again, it's obviously a kid's movie. It seems like there are explicit moral lessons of the day that are being conveyed, like Sesame Street or something. It's bearable. But much better if you're, say, nine.
    azizanicole I was in such high hopes of seeing an adaptation of a classic story like the Arabian Nights. Instead i was disappointed in a film that failed to keep my attention from the very beginning, even though i tried watching it twice!! It was a bonus that Caradine was in this movie but it didn't amount to much as the actors lacked likability. For something a little similar Zorro with Anthony Hopkins and Bandaras is much better for action, comic moments and overall enjoyability.OK, so Son of the Dragon has many possible fans out there, but if your looking for something to wow about in terms of martial arts and plot line you wont get it. If you just want the kids to settle down on a Sunday afternoon then maybe this it for you along with the 3 ninjas.
