Summary: Dull sportsmovie with one awesome fight.
Review: OK film. The first hour is totally senseless, Jackie and his friends just fool around with some girls and there's not much action. They don't fight much, but they do play some starnge games so this film is more about sports than fights. Someone may like that, but I HATE sports. So I think it's rather boring. Still, the final buttkicking is real great. Whan Ing Sik (or whatever his name is) lauches about 64 punches & kicks to Jackie. This is worth watching, but rewind straight to the final match.

Summary: Big Budget film does so-so on the Asian Market.
Review: This film was originally going to be the sequel to Jackie Chan's blockbuster hit "Young Master" and carry the title "Young Master in Love", however, during the making of this film the plot changed from having connection to the original so the title "Dragon Lord" was given. This film was given the title Dragon Strike though because it is the English dubbed version. Jackie has many scenes, which actually included no gung fu at all and were taking place inside a sports arena. Some 50-200 shots were taken on a hackiack scene! Jackie ends up accidentally finding a gangs secret hideout and discovers a smuggling plot to illegally export Chinese artifacts. This film does have a few good fight scenes and is the first of his modern Hong Kong films. It also stars the famous Yuen Biao, which is a happy side note. Not a bad film for the martial arts/Hong Kong film viewer. Also a good pick for Chan fans. All together, Dragon Strike is a film worth owning.

Summary: Masterpiece in pieces
Review: This is an excellent Jackie Chan film, I've seen it on video and it's longer by about ten minutes. This DVD has cut a lot out of the original. The comedy in this movie is very funny and the fights are excellent. This DVD doesn't do it justice. One whole comedy scene is cut out. The action is still there, thank God, but the comedy adds a lot to this film, balancing it out more nicely.

Summary: One of Jackie's early directing efforts
Review: This is one of the films that started to break him away from the cheesy Kung-Fu flicks by Lo-Wei to his well known period action comedies like "Project A." This film has a really basic plot involving bandits stealing Chinese treasure. But it isn't important, this film is just a collection of enetertaining action scenes and comedy. Some notable scenes are sporting events. One involves grabbing a ball from the top of a large tower, and another involes a game which is like a cross between hacky sack and soccer. This film is most noted for being in the Guiness Book of World Records for the most takes for a single shot, over 2,900!

Summary: Oops, wong movie!
Review: To be honest, I haven't seen this film, but the very helpful review below is of the wrong movie! The reviewer below is referring to Dragon Fist, not Dragon Lord. They are two different movies!
