Best movie of this year hands down!

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Dragons Forever brings together three Hong Kong martial arts superstars, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung, the last also acting as the director of the film. The plot revolves around Chan's character, Jackie Lung, a slimy lawyer and a horndog, who has been hired to represent a factory that has been sued because its waste spillage is ruining a local fishery. He decides to do this by hiring the help of couple of his criminal friends (Biao and Hung), and also by seducing the environmental scientist aiding the fishery (Pauline Yeung).As you can see, not exactly a typical movie for any of these actors, mainly because their characters are more than a touch shady. Their nefarious deeds are played mostly for laughs, but it still means that there will be more than a few viewers who will have their expectations ruined because they're not used to seeing Jackie Chan and the others playing antiheroes, if not outright villains. Personally I found their roles refreshing, although I have to admit that their mannerisms and routines are more suited for heroic roles. In this film you don't really buy their acting.The other big problem is that the plot is rather dull. It's mainly there to allow for humorous situations and fight scenes, both of which are very good, though all three of them have done better in other films, but the story itself wanders around aimlessly and is not all that interesting.All in all I'd say that this film was a slight disappointment. I applaud them for originality and going against the norm, but I must admit that I'd have rather seen them in a more traditional martial arts film.

This is actually a really good kung-fu slapstick comedy film with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. The plot and the humor this time around is actually clever and witty on how it comes around. Jackie Chan during his prime played these trouble making, mischievous characters that are still likable. This time he somewhat plays a despicable one that as the plot unfolds becomes likable. It was also nice to see the middle aged Deannie Yip(who I think of as a amazing Chinese actress who's talents shine more as she gets older) as the target. This one seemed like a sequel or a spin off of "Wheels on Meals". Although I personally like this film better and found it more humorous and enjoyable. There is a second round of Jackie vs. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. But the main highlight of this film is the constant fights between the trio. And how they fight each other all at once. And it's one of Jackie's and Sammo Hung's most entertaining fight sequences, plus Jackie's trademark getaway scenes. This the fights, the getaways and slapstick humor all work superbly in this for the most part. If you enjoy Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and even Yuen Biao movies this one is satisfying. And is a very good finish for the trio that gives off a lasting impression.7.9/10

This movie is pure! It is like a remake to wheels on meals. Sadly however, this movie was did not do well in the box office and the HKL DVD is cropped to 1:85:1 from its original aspect ratio.Dragons Forever stars Jackie Chan (Police Story), Sammo Hung (Martial Law) and Yuen Baio (The Prodigal Son).If you own a DVD of Dragons Forever, hit the fast-forward button and watch the end fight scene, It shows Jackie Chan fight Benny Urquidez and is literally the Jackie Chan equivalent of the Matrix!The main problems with this movie is it was a little rushed and has a lot of editing flaws.

A low budget chop-socky from Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Jackie and Sammo develop soppy romances, replete with montages of romantic scenes and schmaltzy music. The girlfriends are walking cardboard cutouts. Meanwhile, Yuen Biao and Benny Urquidez steal the show as they play good and evil charismatic psychotics, respectively. Biao gives an amazing display of acrobatic fighting, while Urquidez plays an unstoppable killing machine who seems to be fond of makeup that gives him a weirdly feminine appearance. Not the unmissable classic that others seem to consider it, "Dragons Forever" is nevertheless a reasonably entertaining film if there is nothing good on TV.
