I wish it had only been a dream
Dream Warrior has a misleading title, as well as a completely deceiving cover. There are no dream warriors. There are no dreams. There are, however, a few people you may be able to see as warriors, I suppose. The bearded, chainmail dude wielding a spiked cudgel on the cover of the box is nowhere to be seen in the movie, though. In fact, there is no chain mail, and there are no spiked cudgels. What we do have is a very low budget Croatian film featuring Aliens' Bishop as the bad guy, Isaac Hayes (Shaft!) as a wandering mystic, and Sherilyn Fenn as a sort of budget Liv Tyler. As far as I can tell, the movie is a retelling of Mad Max with a few dashes of Waterworld thrown in for bad measure. <

>One of my favourite scenes is the two men enter, one man leaves bit which takes place when our hero (named Rage, of all things) is captured by a band of ravening whiteface goths. No explanation is ever made for what the Village of the Goths has to do with anything, but maybe that's part of the movie's (only) charm.

Good movie,but a bit too much
Dream Warrior which is known to be called "A man called rage."Should been able to come up with a better storyline where the main hero,Rage(Played by Daniel "Dar" Goddard,The star from BeastMaster.)tries to save mankind from the evil demonic father of his that wants to kill every human on the face of the earth. <

>However,There has been an understanding about the movie and they should try harder than that.

'Dream' and 'Warrior' Not Included
Throughout the late 1950's and early 1960's, motion picture studios capitalized on the popularity of film by churning out hundreds of B movies. Most of these are forgettable, but, every so often, a picture managed to capture the imagination of an audience and, consequently, turned a tidy profit. As digital filmmaking technology in the 21st century continues to become available to the booming population, any cinemaphile armed with a camcorder believes he's the next Spielberg, Scorsese, or - could it be - George Lucas. The resulting explosion of horror, thriller, or low-grade science fiction titles available at your corner Blockbuster Video continues to grow. In an era of modern filmmaking when any Tom, Dick, or Harry possesses affordable technology to make a motion picture, it only stands to reason that there will eventually be more folks making motion pictures than those who should truly be allowed to make motion pictures, and rarely has there been better evidence than that of the direct-to-DVD schlock, "Dream Warrior, " also known as "A Man Called Rage." <

>Rage (played by an unshaven Daniel Goddard) is no ordinary man. Though he's blessed with 'Men's Health' spokesmodel good looks, he's little more than a mutant with superhuman abilities ... abilities that start and stop with the gift of grunting and flexing and throwing a grenade on cue. That, and he packs a mean air pistol. He's on the run from Parish (played by ever-reliable and, apparently, always affordable Lance Henricksen), the future's 'man of God' who wants to wipe the impure mutants - like Rage - off the face of the planet ... if he could just find then all hiding outside his single building. But when Rage is rescued by a beautiful mutant (the lovely Sherilyn Fenn of 'Twin Peaks' fame), he throws caution to the wind in favor of saving Parish's infant son from the evil leader's nefarious plan ... which never quite gets fully explained. <

>Made in a derelict warehouse with wooded exteriors shot a stone's throw away, "Dream Warrior" presents the story of an uninteresting apocalyptic tomorrow not unlike the world seen in the 'Mad Max' films only with much less desert: shabbily-dressed survivors - normal in every sense of the word save their psychic abilities to hurl lightning, heal the injured, and sense water (woohoo!) if they're not dressing 'Goth' and watching men fight to the death on top of a truck bed - march through the woods in search of 'The River,' a place of legend where mankind's last hope for survival can be realized. Of course - with a plot this thin - you know it's only a matter of time before all of these characters are thrown together. Blacksploitation legend Isaac Hayes even makes an appearance as a shadowy religious loner sent to explain it all to the mutants because they apparently don't have enough sense to figure it out for themselves. <

>At best, the film is a guilty pleasure. At worst, the film takes pleasure at being just plain guilty. "Dream Warrior" boasts no real dreams nor any real warriors, and it takes just over 91 minutes for Rage to discover that he's Parish's firstborn, to help kill his maniacal father, and to march off into the woods intent on saving the world. From what? We're never told. <

>Written and directed by Zachary Weintraub, "Warrior" proves definitively that there is one too many Weintraub's working in the film industry.
