NOTE:I borrowed this DVD. Why he or anyone would buy it is a mystery to me as well.
Bela Lugosi plays a brilliant scientist, who is working for the Nazis and the evil Black Dragon Society.His mission is to transform 6 Japanese conspirators into American leaders, so they can kill the real ones and sabotage the U.S army. Until his soon found out.
That in a nutshell is Black Dragons, a super cheap potboiler from the Early 40's. The only reason for interest in it is because of it starting horror icon Bela Lugosi. During the 40's,poor Bela made many films for the cheap company Monogram,who's source of income were cheap sleazy(at the time)theme movies.Bela is the only real star of the movie, and he does a decent job with the shit script. He gives off the right vibe as a mysterious scientist and seals the part.
The story for the movie sounds great on paper,and in truth isn't that bad, it's just the movie just drags out.The whole movie is dull as dirt,with very little action to keep in moving. The movie is 69 mins long and about 40 mins is filler with many chunks just being people walking around. What action that is in it, is slobby and would be better off left out.
One last bitchy note is the ending of the movie is too rushed compaired too the rest of the movie.Added to that a flashback about Bela's past is shown 5 mins before the end. Just bad timing on there part. At least he was talking about Hilter at one point.
Black Dragons is simply one of Bela's worst movies, and it's for die hard fans only, and maybe even them might hate it.
SHORT SHORT VERSION: THIS MOVIE IS BORING AS HELL, JUST SKIP IT.
