Review of Dragons Forever (1988) by Scott O — 06 Jul 2007

A fun escape to the old style, dubbed movies of Jackie Chans past. Here, with Sammo Hung Kam-Bo (gotta love this name) and Bian Yuen, have to put together a fun movie. Sammo also directed the film which in some ways, feels like the Ocean 11 type movies, where a few buddies get together and make a fun film. Jackie, Sammo, and Bian go way back and are good friends, and it shows as they seem to enjoy themselves on the screen. This takes nothing away from the amazing kicks and fight scenes that often happen unexpectely. While Bian is amazingly talented in his fights, it is still Jackie, as a lawyer no less, that carries this movie, his wit, his clumsy attempts at seduction, and his good old fashioned fights, more than make this a delightful.

I must admit, I caught this quite by accident on Spike, but I am glad I did, it sent me right to Blockbuster to grab it to watch again, without the interruptions and I am very glad I did. It certainly worth watching.
