Wasn't all that bad being a debut in the genre.

To free the hostages, a colonel leads a group of fighters, who will have to use all their skills to be successful.They at least tried to make it work. It's sad to know that it was Raul Julia's last movie (besides that other TV movie).

- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsChristopher LambertRobin ShouLinden AshbyThree unknowing martial artists are summoned to a mysterious island to compete in a tournament whose outcome will decide the fate of the world.Loved the first one, hated the second. Curiously I think some of the TV series weren't all that bad.

- DirectorCourtney SolomonStarsJustin WhalinJeremy IronsZoe McLellanProfion, a tyrant, attempts to overthrow a peaceful kingdom ruled by a tough empress.Ok, so it says it "from video games to movies" and this is actually originated from books and a board game.

AndersonStarsMilla JovovichMichelle RodriguezRyan McCluskeyA special military unit fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident.The first and sequels.
