Living here on Guam, I thought it presented our island well. Would it be nicer for it to have better actors and story, yes, of course. But for what it is it wasn't too bad. I have seen far worse (unfortunately) but generally my friends here liked it. And it did get Guam more attention than the millions the government and its visitors bureau waste on cheesy islander adverts. The film was just too plain and has a dreadful lead actress. I think Joanna Crupa was her her name. Painful to watch and brought the whole effort down in my opinion. I thought the Max was okay. Not bad as an actor or star. Our own Tawney Sablan was the best thing about the film. She was cute and more believable than the bimbo playing her older sister. I like it that they used a local talent in such a big part and that really added to the enjoyment. I also thought the photography of the island was good. I heard from my nephew that the film went through many changes and more shooting in Los Angeles to add stars like David Carradine (R.I.P). He had seen a different version which he said made more sense but I thought this version was okay. Except for that stupid blonde actress! She was horrible. Go Tawney!

Max Havoc is stupidly written, horrendously directed and barley even "acted" at all. This film is on a cinematic par with a public service cable TV documentary on gum disease, or toe nail fungus or chronic acne, and I would rather suffer from all of those ailments at once then see another frame of this piece of sh*t again. Nobody involved with this movie should have a career in movies; none of the actors, not the director, not the producer and none of the crew. None of them. All of the reviews here for this film state what a giant, stinking piece of sh*t this move is. It's an understatement to compare this film to a turd.You could take children, give them a video camera, and they would come up with a better film then this.Does anyone know the location of piece-of-sh*t director Albert Pyun or piece-of-sh*t producer John Laing so I can ask them about getting that 90 minutes of my life back that I wasted on this film? Yeah, they probably think they made a good film. They probably think they did us all a favor by making it. They probably think they have talent. They don't. They suck!

The Movie is p*ss-poor and stupid. I fell asleep about 45 minutes into it cause it was so dull.The story is about some kick boxer turned photographer (badly acted by some dumb German chump)who goes to Guam and takes some photos of the beach. He meets up with two girls in swimsuits (they don't take em off, sad to say, cause the chicks weren't hired for their acting ability) who are being chased by the Japanese Mafia. It's suppose to be an action movie, but the action is dull and is amateurishly done. I fell asleep during some supposed action sequence where everybody's fighting in slow motion, or something like that. When I woke up the film was over and I took it back to the video store and said it didn't work in my DVD player and they gave me credit for a free movie. The guy working behind the counter said that a couple of people have rented the title and they all have come back and said how sh***y the movie is. I told the guy he should just throw the thing in the trash and he did.

Max Havoc - What can I say about Max Havoc? In 2003 producer John Laing and notable (for all the wrong reasons) director Albert Pyun convinced the government of Guam to invest $800,000 for the filming of Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon. Laing and Pyun touted that the film would create 300 jobs on the impoverished island, and that those individuals would get the chance to work again when they shot a sequel later in 2004. They even promised a third film for the following year. Guam bent over backwards for these goofs, with businesses big and small offering their assistance in order to further develop Guam's economy. According to some, Laing and Pyun actually suggested that the film would receive a theatrical release. Okay everyone, get ready for a countdown. 3, 2, 1.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!Guam's motivation for funding the film was economic development. In the end the crew members from both the U.S. and Guam were never paid. Once Laing's company officially defaulted on the loan, financial shenanigans occurred that ended with Guam making a mere $9,000 from the deal. Laing's Up North Entertainment, meanwhile, managed to buy the film back from the bank that paid off the loan for $83,000. Someone went to the Tanya York School of Business. David Carradine, Richard Roundtree, and Carmen Electra (for about 15 seconds) all appear…Somebody else here said in their comments that Albert Pyun couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag, that's wrong. Albert Pyun and John Laing couldn't direct or produce their way out of a pay toilet.
