Adventures Of Johnny Tao (2007) 6/10

Starring : Matthew Twining, Matthew Mullins, Chris Yen, Kelly Perine, Lindsay Parker, James Hong, Jason London
Director : Kenn Scott
Running Time : 86 mins

Half of an ancient spear is turned into the neck of a guitar by little known singer Jimmy Dow (London). His son Johnny (Twining) now makes ends meet by charging people to look at the guitar, but when the other half of the spear is discovered by one of Johnny's friends, an ancient Chinese demon is released that is hungry to destroy anyone that stands in its way.

This movie was desperately trying to be something it couldn't quite achieve being. The plot was simple enough and has been done before and since, but the acting was sub par, the characters weren't really that enthralling, and the action was a little bit boring. Still, fans of martial arts supernatural action movies (?) will probably find this good enough.
