Review
Petaia's Entertainment World, a channel ran by an action fan who uploads clips from movies starring Jackie Chan, Michelle Khan and Bruce Lee in 4K uploaded the English dub of the extended Japanese release of "Dragons Forever". Knowing this would make for a good review (and it's a goddamn Jackie Chan movie), I watched the film and did not regret it
Normally, whenever I watch a movie, it annoys me when there's more of something in the film - like more drama then action, or more comedy then drama. In Dragons Forever, there are 22 minutes worth of fight scenes, and I'm not complaining.
The romantic scenes in this movie were actually heart warming and when Johnny and Mei-ling got back together I was super happy.
The fight scenes were super intense and my heart was beating the whole time.
And, I admit, I gasped when everyone in the factory was looking at Luke. I knew blud was walking out with 5 black eyes after that one (he didn't).
The choreography is clean, timed out, and it actually was better then I thought it'd be.
I thought it would be a bit of a boring flick, but nooo, the fight scenes start 3 minutes and 55 seconds in the Japanese release (also, it's a 2 v 4 fight, which is slightly more realistic then most JC fights).
Nobody ever comes to a Jackie Chan film wanting Romeo and Juliet. Then after watching this film, they actually do.
