ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Flexholly The year 2000 might have avoided the Y2K virus, but it got something much worse: Backyard Dogs, which was one of many attempts in the late- 90s/early-2000s of people trying to cash in on the fad known as "backyard wrestling." I had heard of this movie many years ago, and I heard how awful it is, and I was looking through Netflix's wrestling category and saw this movie was streaming so I decided to watch. If you like really terrible, low budget movies and also like pro wrestling I say watch it and see how bad it is for yourself, but other than that don't waste your time. If you really want to see what backyard wrestling was all about back then, see the documentary "The Backyard," which shows actual kids running their own promotions, and is funnier than whatever this was trying to be.

netzombie63 Bob Boris came up with a challenging movie based on Kids going to town to town and wrestling unknown people and the places the ring was. The other challenge was that there were a lot of speaking role of which most of them where actors. SO to do the movie we had to have them join SAG as there are very few people that are Actors that know AA little about wrestling. Another problem we ran into is that the script takes place in a deferent location almost every night. The Director and the co- Producer were at constant odds with each other to make the Director's vision for very little money. From what I was told they shot this movie on various consumer as well as pro-sumer video cameras. This was shot on cameras that were not HD so the initial quality isn't great. This was all done before it was technically possible to have the video look like film. They got a top Lab Engineer at Fotokem Labs in Burbank to oversee the transfer from video to film at the end of the process. Everyone was very happy with the result. I think the film has a very interesting look because of that. When it comes to the acting it wasn't easy as they had people that had not been in a movie before, wrestling pros (including one from Japan that didn't speak English) and Actors who had never wrestled before. The nail talent had to go to school for a week ( all the budget could afford) to train really hard to become the best wrestlers we could afford. I can't tell you what the budget was on this movie but it was well under $XXX,.xxx.00! All the money went into the movie including the cool having on board an Editor who had to help solve many problems that arose making this 1st low budget video2film entertainment. They should have turned this around and made this an MTV TV series. It would be a lot of fun!

diminutiverob What a horrible, awful movie. I saw it at Blockbuster and thought 'Wow, a movie about backyard wrestling! Excellent!' And it went downhill from there. Words alone can't describe my disappointment. How appropriate that it stars a Power Ranger, because it makes it feel even more like an episode gone awry. I just don't understand....the guys who do this for real do more painful-looking stuff than in this movie. Why couldn't the actors/stuntmen at least make SOME of the offense look somewhat dangerous? I won't even get into the awful love triangle, because it's not even worth talking about. Save the only film appearance by Hayabusa that I'm aware of, this movie is a complete throwaway. Not even worth a rental. If you get it offered to you for free, ask if you can have something else instead. >

luminousdreams this movie is a true to life depiction of the trials and trauma involved in prancing around in your underwear (i mean wrestling). A dream come true. I could really relate and cried at the end. If only life could be this wonderful.10/10
