I watched this movie under the title "Super Dragon's Dynamo". How could a person turn that title down on late night tv? I probably should have.

The plot is very thin. A powerful CEO has a spoiled ne'er do well son who spends his time gambling and losing most of the time. Associates of the CEO keep getting brutally murdered. When the son, Champ (of all names), goes to jail on a trumped-up charge, the bad guy finishes nearly everyone off and takes over the businesses. When Champ (maybe should have been called Chump?) gets out of jail he's looking for revenge. His rampage is momentarily thwarted when he finds out his pregnant sister is married to the Big Bad's hired gun (though he uses a creative array of weapons). Suffice to say, the rampage is bloody and brutal.

The acting is acceptable. The main lead uses martial arts in a somewhat believable style. There are plenty of guns, fireplace pokers, knives, and pickaxes for other mayhem. Pretty sure they must have bought the pickaxes in bulk, I've never seen so many used in a movie that didn't involve mining.

If you are unable to sleep and in the mood for a violent almost incoherent movie with a sky high body count you might want to try this, otherwise, I'd move on to almost any other late night fare.
