The One Warrior Trailers

The One Warrior is a fantasy/action piece that is loosely based on video adventure games. In our story, the character of The One Warrior finds himself in a mythical world where he must destroy the Evil Lord Shoukata, but to do so he must first fight his way through many challenges. These include dragons, the cursed swords of Damacleus, the Samurai Six, the Amazon Warriors, and much, much more. With each level he passes through, the more powerful he becomes until the end where we realize it is really a man who may have been testing a new video game. Or was it? The truth may never be known.

The Power Ranger jokes start the moment Jason David Frank appears on screen. The character Brutus even makes his own Power ranger jokes at Jason's The One's expense. This is reminiscent of the Original Final Fantasy game. "The One" achieves level ups whenever he defeats certain opponents. He receives gems for the most part and when they touch a medallion around his neck, he glows and seems to enlarge ala Mario and the mushrooms. The One is supposed to be the greatest warrior of all times, yet can be easily disarmed by his opponents. Each opponent has to be hit a certain number of times, like 2 or 3 times, before they dissipate into the air or into the ground. There is a creature referred to as a Dragon which is actually a Wyvern. Dragons have four legs and wings on their backs while Wyverns have winged arms. Why is it Fantasy movies never get this right? The One is warned a couple times that the Wyvern will fight if The One dares enter its domain. Then, toward the end of the movie, the Wyvern permits The One to violate that rule and actually flies The One to obtain a sword needed to defeat Shoukata. The encounters with foes is where I have a huge problem with this story. Each time, The One is supposed to defeat ALL he encounters. Yet, he only fights the main Amazon (the others take off when she's defeated). He only battles 4 of the 5 Ghosts that appear. What happened to the 5th one? The Samurai Six aren't dressed like any Samurai I've ever seen. Shaolin monks, perhaps, but not Samurai. The fight scene is incredibly lame. Jason is MMA, yet fights like a first year student. Are we supposed to truly believe he and the "Samurai" are giving it their all? Why does everyone take a turn during the battle? This is supposed to be an actual battle. Ganging up on him would be the logical solution. No, they prefer to fight the way the original Final Fantasy characters fought - one at a time. The ending is completely "You Have Got to be Kidding Me". This is the type of movie you put on for background noise while cleaning the house or watch as a "Don't Judge Me" movie when there's nothing interesting on other channels. I gave it a four because Brutus and Merlin are worth watching.

As a huge JDF fan I was interested in seeing what was called The One Warrior. So I was really happy to see a blu ray at Walmart! While the movie is really low budget and very cheesy it's also a lot of fun. The story is really simple, Jason is a noble warrior who must kill the evil lord Shoukata. The little nods to gaming peppered all in the movie, are a wonderful touch. Sure as I said its campy as hell.But it's still really fun, the fights are not as hard hitting as in Johnny Yong Bosch's Broken Path, but there still fun fantasy battles. That featured some good variety. The landscapes and sets were well done, and the dragon was pretty well designed and animated. The fights reminded me of all the cool shows and cheesy movies I saw as a kid. The plot is thin but it's pretty smart too, the whole gaming aspect of the movie really works. And Jason rocked it as always, he had a few really funny moments. My favorite was when he requested his sidekick carry him. It was pretty funny and showcased Jason's classic charm that we all love. What really made the movie for me besides Jason, was that this movie really was made with gamers in mind. This is the closet to seeing a movie made into a video game world. By the end of the film you will understand. Granted its incredibly cheesy but that's also the appeal, it doesn't try to be anything but silly fun. If you love JDF, Saturday morning adventures, gaming, and old cheesy fantasy movies this is a fun addition to your collection. I plan on rewatching this plenty of times as it put a wide smile on my face and was totally fun to watch. I know some of you will disagree and say it's a z grade flick, but that's the charm and anything with Jason is epic in my book.

The One Warrior is not a movie/film. Oh no, sir, it is not. It's an experience. And not a pleasant one I might add. Even though I've wasted nearly two hours watching this piece of garbage it felt as if it was much more and I'd rather sit through two hours of fiery diarrhea than watch it ever again. The plot was... Well, there was no real plot as to speak of, more like a collection of random, senseless and badly acted out events with no solid story to back it up. With $50 and a semi-good web cam anyone could make a better flick.Would give it 0/10 but since I cannot it's 1/10. And it's not an earned 1 either.

It is horrifying the overall "quality" of this movie if can be called that. The blunt lack of skill in production going from script to actor performance is overwhelming. I find it shameful and an insult to the legends or myths used in this production. Slow growing into any kind of watch-able scene. It brings you past the humanly possible stress point, annoying you to limits you never thought possible. I feel sorry for anyone that paid a ticked or bought a CD/DVD copy of this movie. I just hope anyone that would come across it to see the reviews on IMDb before any sort of purchase or rental. To sum up the words driven in this production, they are shameful, horrific and overall an insult to customers.
