leonblackwood Review: I really didn't enjoy this movie! It's one of those comedic Jackie Chan movies, that really wasn't that funny and the acting was also a bit dodgy. It also seemed more like a Rom- Com than your usual action packed film, that we have grown to enjoy from Chan so it really has to go down as a bad day at the office for the action superstar.. Anyway, this film sees Jackie Chan playing a high flying lawyer who is hired to help a chemical plant owner to stop a woman from suing them for polluting the area. With the help of his close friends Luke Wong (Sammo Hung) and Timothy Tung (Biao Yuen), he uses some undercover tactics to build a case against the adamant woman but he ends up falling for her cousin and with much persuasion, Sammo Hung falls for the woman that they are building a case against. From here it turns into a soppy love story but when Chan and his team finally find out what the people at the chemical plant are really getting up to, they take matters into there own hands which puts all of there life's in danger. I lost interest in this movie right from the beginning because of the silly jokes, annoying music and bad script. Some of the action scenes wasn't that bad but the two love stories got on my nerves. It seems like a lot of the movies that Jackie Chan starred in with Sammo Hung and Biao Yuen were badly made comedies so I'll know what to expect when I see them in the cast. On the plus side, Chans acting wasn't too bad and the chemistry between the 3 action stars was OK but I wasn't impressed with the film. Disappointing!Round-Up: This is another movie directed by Sammo Hung which I didn't enjoy. He still pulled off some good moves, even though he's a bit on the heavy side but I still am struggling to understand there sense of humour. I just hope that this Jackie Chan season will pick up soon, because the movies that I have watched in the latter part of his career, have been pretty awful. I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/comedy/romance/martial arts movies starring Jackie Chan, Biao Yuen and Sammo Kam-Bo Hung. 2/10
aidenthomson73 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.
david-sarkies This is a Jackie Chan movie: need I say any more. Probably not but I will. Not all of Jackie Chan movies are full of fights and laughs, though they do have scenes which set them apart from other movies. Dragons Forever I thought was going to be a slow movie, because I have seen a couple, but it wasn't. It was full of laughs, fighting, and things typical to Jackie Chan, though it did not have the classic stunt from Project A.Jackie Chan plays a lawyer that looks after business people and even gangsters, but he does have morals. After he manages to get a guy acquitted for raping a woman, he punches him in the stomach. His nemesis is a young girl who owns a fish farm and a local factory is poisoning the lake. The girl takes the factory to court and Jackie Chan is hired by the factory to look after them. The confusion sets in when he realises that he has fallen in love with this woman. Then it is discovered that the factory has a more sinister side to it.As for intellectual stimulation, there is little in this movie. It is interesting how we see the relationship between the lawyer and the girl work, especially how he starts off wanting to simply bed her and then uses the law to switch sides. The other characters are interesting as well. There is one business man who deals in fake weaponry and another who is simply mad. The guy is simply crazy and talks about how fish represent capitalism and birds represent communism. Jackie's methods are a little unethical, depending on where you draw ethics. He uses his two friends to extract information for himself, though he does not reveal everything to his friends. Everything flies back to him in the end when it is realised that he is taking everybody for a ride. Though the movie does have a happy ending, as is true Hollywood style.
callanvass This is one of Jackie's absolute best in my opinion, it's got the perfect mix of Action, Romance and Comedy, the fight scenes are incredible!. All the characters are fantastic, and the story is excellent, plus Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Biao Yuen are all simply amazing in this. The fight choreography is outstanding, and the stunts are simply brilliant, plus it's extremely well written and made as well. Jackie, Sammo and Yuen all have fantastic chemistry together, and Wah Yuen and Benny Urquidez are great as the main villains, plus the most hilarious scenes in the movie are definitely when Jackie invites Nancy over for dinner at his house, as it's filled with hilarious slapstick!. All the characters are extremely likable, and I can see why this is regarded as one of Jackie's best films, plus I also liked the ending as well, as it was quite funny. Pauline Yeung and Deannie Yip are great as the female leads, and I love the music during the romance scenes, plus The finale is especially exciting. This is one of Jackie's absolute best in my opinion, it's got the perfect mix of Action, Romance and Comedy, and I say go see it now!. The Direction is fantastic!. Sammo Hung&Corey Yuen do a fantastic! job here with great camera work, awesome angles and keeping the film at an extremely fast pace. The Acting is a lot of fun!. Jackie Chan is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, hilarious, very charming, kicks that ass, had fantastic chemistry with Sammo and Biao Yuen, and brought all of the qualities he usually brings! (Jackie Rules!!!!!!!). Sammo Hung Kam-Bo is brilliant here, he is funny, kicks that ass, and really surprised me with his agility one again for a man his size! (Sammo Rules!!). Biao Yuen is hilarious here, he is totally unpredictable, and I loved it, he is also an amazing martial artist,and played a wonderfully quirky character! (Biao Rules!!). Pauline Yeung is very cute and does great as Jackie's love interest I liked her lots. Deannie Yip does well as Sammo's love interest I liked her too. Wah Yuen played a very effective villain here, and was menacing, especially with that cigar!. Benny Urquidez is extremely creepy, and is fantastic here as the other villain, he is also a wonderful martial artist. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall go see it now!. ***** out of 5
