You won't be disappointed!
Memorable, crazy movie
Best movie ever!
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
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
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.
Roddy Piper does good action scenes and bone crunching maneuvers, but not all his films turn out that great. But this one is fun and exciting. It isnt however up there with They Live, but Jungleground is a good way to kill time watching an action flick.
Roddy Piper tries too hard in this one note action piece. Basically a rip off of every other run for your life through a futuristic wasteland. Watch Escape from New York, The Ultimate Warrior, or the Road Warrior instead.
