Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

lukem-52760 JUNGLEGROUND is a really cool 90s urban set Action Thriller starring the AWESOME RODDY PIPER R.I.P here he's fantastic as the Action Hero of this film.Roddy really was a great actor & should have made it bigger into an Action star but he didn't? He ended up,as the lead role at least in straight to video films, but that DEFINITELY doesn't mean his films are bad!!! JUNGLEGROUND is a fun Thriller about a certain area that's so bad & violent & gang infested that even cops won't go there & that place is called jungleground & our hero Roddy has a little mission down there, some kinda undercover drugs bust as he's a Cop & let's just say things go wrong & Roddy is from then on being Hunted in the urban hell hole by gangs & it's so much fun.The gangs are ridiculously un-scary but fun & like i said Roddy makes a great Hero & very likable & he does some cool action & runs alot through the dark & dangerous night time streets of JUNGLEGROUND. DEFINITELY check this little low-budget Action GEM, this film makes good late night entertainment Also if like me you love Roddy piper films check out THEY LIVE,TOUGH & DEADLY & SCI-FIGHTERS all good Action Thrillers. R.I.P RODDY PIPER

Leofwine_draca JUNGLEGROUND is an action vehicle for wrestling star Roddy Piper, the man who shot to cult fame with his role in John Carpenter's superlative THEY LIVE. This one was shot in Canada on a low budget which doesn't stop it from depicting a convincing run-down city full of post-apocalyptic stylings and the like. The plot is another variant on the old 'hunting humans' theme as done in the likes of THE RUNNING MAN and HARD TARGET, and there's absolutely nothing here that hasn't been done better elsewhere.Nonetheless, this is a fun film, and B-movie lovers will find it a treat. The villains are over the top goons while Piper pulls out the stops by using his wrestling moves on various one-on-one bouts with henchmen; there are throws and clotheslines galore. The first half of the story is all set up, but once we get to the action-dominated second half this doesn't disappoint, and it certainly delivers the goods for action fans.

zetes This DTV flick is an amusing if generic crime/action movie. It reminds me of the kind of crap I used to watch on late night HBO or Cinemax. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper stars as an undercover cop who works in "Jungleground," an area of the city that is so crime-ridden no cop or normal human being would dare enter it after dark. At night, it's run by a gang known as the Ragnorockers, who, of course, are led by a guy named Odin (JR Bourne). There are also gangsters named Thor and Loki, and also a teenage boy on rollerblades called Gameshow, who spouts game show catch phrases before he opens fire. Being a 90s action movie, expect a lot of uzis and explosions. Piper is captured by the Rockers but escapes. They also have his girlfriend (Torri Higginson), so he has to search for her with the help of a young prostitute (the absolutely adorable Rachel Wilson). The production and costume design are quite good. I loved the look of the Rockers.

XxCoRyxX For what it was,this film wasnt too bad at all.If you keep in mind the budget and such,and dont have a problem with B-Movies,and dont laugh at every flaw,like most majority does,then your gonna enjoy this.If you enjoy straight to video low budget action flicks,this is recommended.Piper does very good in this,and the fight scenes are definetly par above the horrible "Marked Man",the film piper did prior to this one.Not quite as good as "Tough And Deadly" or "Back In Action",but definetly one of pipers better performances in the action genre.
