You can check the website for some rough cut clips from the film under "Clips" on the top menu.  The first two were pretty neat.  The third pained me.  I think it was too much talking from the girls who shouldn't have been talking so much.

There is also a gallery of still clips.

Moving this over to Bad Movies for discussion.  Mr. Pyun actually sent out an email asking for feedback on the film clips. 

I liked the first two, especially the first.  The third was painful.  The girls' dialog as they are on horseback with Kevin Sorbo sounded like they were acting, like they had no conviction or passion in their voices.  The last clip harks back to the first movie, with Talon demanding "payment" for his services, and it was funny, but disturbing.  I hope that Sorbo's character isn't that smarmy the entire film.

The first clip was really good.  My only suggestions would be at about :11, the girl strikes that cheesy "I am a vampire" pose.  She also seems to be posing over her victim.  Are you going to bite her?  Or just wait there for the rest of the scene to develop?  I really like the way they're hissing at each other like cats though.  Excellent camera work.

The second clip was nice.  I like the way the dramatic music stops, and we're left with silence as the new scene starts.  It sets a nice mood.

Third scene, yeah - painful.  That fake Olde English stuff is almost always awful.  And those actors are not pulling it off.  Sounds like there's some modern day dialogue mixed in there as well.  That scene needs a rewrite.

On horseback with Kevin Sorbo...and they had to 'act'??  How dare they get to live one of my fantasy moments and screw it up! 

(Sorry Andrew: I know you were looking for serious feedback, but I couldn't not say it.  Lookingup )

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
