Review of Fire Dragon (1983) by Dave J — 13 Jun 2012

(1994) Fire Dragon.
(In Chinese with English subtitles).
ACTION/ HISTORICAL FICTION.
Directed by Yuen Woo-Ping using simplistic Chinese folklore tale centering on a letter sought by an evil prince with complete corruption on his mind using biological martial art sisters to go after it, even if it meant killing innocent civilians to do it. Hong Kong veteran actress Brigitte Lin(Police Story) as Fire Dragon poses as an innocent bystander to whom Yuen Ming (Mok Siu Chung) is still suspicious about. Fire Dragon eventually changes after building a rapport with it's normal travelling performers. Idea is similar to Jet Li's "Swordsman II" which also stars Brigitte Lin except this one has more action and ridiculous comedy! All of the martial art action which is mostly use of wire -fu some has been sped up but gets entertaining as it becomes more of it. The rating is strictly for the action and not the comedy aspect of it.
3 out of 4.
