Pick up those apples!!!!
dolly__rocker9 June 2004
This movie began my career in C Movies. Yes, C Movies. Those which really don't try very hard. For example, a child's casio keyboard is used for the music, celery sticks are still used for foley and effects, and the actors are your neighbors. This movie, despite having all of the qualities mentioned above, is hilarious. I do commend the writer and director for a near interesting story and the acting of Reggie Jackson brings tears to my eyes. The one liners are fabulous and of course the best kung-fu move ever -- biting. And when all else fails for a Kung-Fu master antagonist, use a gun. This movie is perfect for a date and a 12-pack of beer.

Up there with Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee

A combination of Enter the Dragon, The Matrix and Kill Bill, this martial arts classic does more than satisfy even the most demanding of kung fu fanatics. The fight sequences break conventional boundaries, as the choreographers managed to fully comply with health and safety restrictions, ensuring that none of the characters in fact make contact with one another.

With no expense spared, the producers were intent on having the best special effects programmers St John's Primary School for the Disabled and Blind Orphans had to offer. Unfortunately this was beyond their budget, so they hired Bungle, formerly employed by Rainbow.

With breathtaking dialogue, memorable quotes, and the discussion of important issues, the scriptwriters did a great job: "Watch out, you don't wanna catch aids."

Brilliantly edited, the soundtrack impresses, and the use of kitchen utensil sound effects makes the ear orgasm.

The bonus features include a stunning selection of on set photography, which David Bailey would for cert be proud of. Genius!

All credit due to the superb PR team, without whom the film would never have got of the ground. The box is perhaps the best part of the film, luring people into a false sense of hope. Well done lads. We'd especially like to thank Kev, for all his "hard work and effort".

Majestic in his movement, amazing in his acting, Greg Maye, aka "Mark Cobain" is the next big thing in circus performance. Rumour has it that Eugene D. Floyd has been sought by many Hollywood directors. All in all, a perfect cast makes this film one to certainly remember.

Appropriately, at the end of this review I would like to discuss the credits, which if possible, provide shots of lighter moments during production.

Truly inspirational, we think this film will triple the number of martial arts enthusiasts in Nuneaton.

Rick Da Bro

Great soundtrack: classic underground Hip-Hop songs from Rick Da Bro (produced by Scott "Spaz" Bernard AKA DEFSCOTTYB). The film itself is a little out there but I find it very entertaining if I'm in the mood for a fairly cheesy low-budget action film. This was Bobby Guions first attempt at a full length film and it shows. The story lines are a bit out there and the acting is average at best but thats the best thing about this movie and what makes it so interesting to me and entertaining. I just watched it again after years on my old VHS (I have the VHS tape version, not sure if a DVD of this film was ever made). I bought my copy of Moving Target on ebay years ago. Go on-line and pick up a copy to add to your rare indie film or soundtrack collection!

Bravo!! Bravo!!! Bravo!!!! I have seen some incredible low-class movies in my day, but this is the funniest thing I have ever let my eyes grace! Incredible acting, the kung-fu sequences are so complexed they must have taken minutes to coordinate, the red "Kool-Aid" that they use in brilliant, the Casio keyboard banging out some of the greatest tunes by Kenny G. is breathtaking. Jack Steele and Reggie Jackson are the two funniest characters' I have ever seen in a Z-movie in my life. I almost wet myself because I was laughing so hard. I recommend this movie to everyone that likes comedy, but make sure you have a 12-pack of Old Style on hand, you are going to need it!
