The Max Havoc movie collection is a short-lived, low-budget direct-to-video action series featuring an ex-kickboxing champion turned sports photographer named Max Havoc, who gets drawn into dangerous adventures involving martial arts fights, crime rings, and high-stakes threats. It consists of two main films: Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon (2004) and Max Havoc: Ring of Fire (2006). The series is known for its straightforward, B-movie style action, martial arts sequences, and formulaic plots reminiscent of 1980s/1990s action heroes. Some DVD collections bundle these titles with unrelated action films (like Knuckle Sandwich or Legend of the Seven Monks), but the core Max Havoc franchise is limited to these two entries.
