All in all a pretty entertaining movie, good acting and a very good plot, not just a shoot em up for fun. Has a good storyline and a few strange twists - Roddy's movies are very enjoyable

Former WWF wrestler Rowdy "Roddy" Piper leaps from the ring and right into the action in "Jungleground". For a low budget action movie starring Roddy Piper "Jungleground" is a very entertaining movie. Platinum Disc has done a really good job with the audio and video transfer for this DVD release. The dolby 2.0 sound is crisp and the video transfer is about the best version of "Jungleground" I've ever seen.

Platinum Disc has also managed to do something the other studios couldn't for some reason, this version has the complete ending intact. I have purchased two inferior versions of this movie in the past and both have missing footage of the ending.

Rowdy Roddy Piper plays a police detective named Lt. Jake Cornel and for him the challenge is to escape the "Jungleground" and get back home before dawn. If he succeeds he'll be free to go if not, Odin's men will kill his girlfriend. Will Cornel get out in time to save his girlfriend?

The streets have been turned into a "Jungleground"...enter if you dare!

All Detective Jake Cornel (Piper) wants is to ask his artist girlfriend Sami to marry him, but just as he's about to pop the question, duty calls. Jake has to go down to Jungleground, an area so filled with drugs, gangs, and mayhem that the police refuse to patrol there. Jake is captured by the Ragnarockers, a Norse mythology loving gang led by Odin, a techno-punk psychotic with a warped sense of humor. Odin decides to play a game with Jake. If Jake can make it home through Jungleground by dawn, he will be free. To further handicap things, Odin sends a team of "soldiers" after Jake, and dispatches two goons to kill Sami at dawn should Jake fail to return home. JR Bourne stands out as Odin--what a great villain!! Check this movie out. Joe Bob Briggs even chose it as one of his year's best!!

This movie was surprisingly enjoyable. Just let your brain relax and sit back and enjoy.
