Summary: A brilliant Sammo Hung directed slugfest.
Review: This is the last of a legacy of collaborations between Hung, Chan, and Biao. The fight choreography in this film is top-notch. The story however fails to rise from a hokey Canto-comedy with some dramatic elements, to meet the quality of the action. This film show cases a second encounter between Benny "The Jet" and Jackie Chan.

Summary: Five Stars For the Action, Two For PLot, None For Music
Review: Quite possibly one of the best Jackie Chan films to ever grace the silver screen. Not only does it have Jackie (in his prime), but it also contains three of his former classmates: Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung (now in CBS's Martial Law), and Yuen Wah (from Supercop). The Fight scenes directed by Sammo are probably the best of his career. The humor is actually funny for once, there is somewhat of a plot (it's "The Usual Suspects" compared to "Mr. Nice Guy" and other recent flicks), and the action and stunts are downright astonishing at times. If you want to see Jackie when he was young and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, rent this one. The only downside is that the amazing talent of Yuen Biao wasn't used as much as it should have. Buy It!

Summary: Awesome Choreography
Review: This movies fight scenes are amazing. The stunts by Chan and Biao are unbelievable. Chan, Biao, and Hung have amazing on screen chemistry. Their years of training together at the Peking Opera Company are evident. The final fight between Chan and Benny "The Jet" is amazing and will captivate anyone, even if they don't like martial arts films!

Summary: The Final and Finest of the Three Brothers
Review: Dragons Forever was the last movie made by the Three Brothers: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is also in the movie. It is a little old but age hasn't affected it one bit -- it still contains fantastic fighting (including the trio fighting each other) and is filled with humor. Dragons Forever is one of my favorite Kung Fu movies and is a real classic.

Summary: Cheesy at times, but worth it simply for the action!
Review: This was the last installment of the "Peking Opera brothers" series starring Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan. Chan plays a playboy lawyer who woos every girl he sees; Hung is his clumsy, rotund friend; and Biao, a deranged handyman. The movie has the feel of a 1970's Chinese soap opera (the music is AWFUL), but it's quite funny at times. Chan's off-beat humor is cute, and the antics of Hung and Biao are "stupid silly" but provide a good laugh. The fighting scenes, however, are worth the money. I was surprised at the unnecessary footage of raw violence, but they give you the viewer a good feel of how incredible the stunts really are. The acrobatics will blow you away, and the final fight with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is one you'll never forget. This is the only movie you can buy that has Biao, Hung, and Chan fighting each other. Props to Hung's stunt choreography.

Summary: The best ever J Chan Movie
Review: The best movie that J Chan has ever made. It is full of humor and stunning stunts, but it also has heart. The nice love story, and the crazy Yuen Biao are the cherry on top.
I gues to hope for a new film with the tree all togheter is preaty foolish.

Summary: Jackie wins by a nose
Review: Jackie Chan's box office success with the Rush Hour movies has cemented his reputation as a film legend. Although fellow martial artists Samo Hung, Yuen Wah and Yuen Biao will never reach his status, their fights together in Dragons Forever (MIA) rescue the film from its convoluted plot.
Jackie is blessed with the grace of Kelly, the stunted charm of Roger Moore, the comic timing of Benigni and the nose of a caveman. Despite a few colourful bruises, his nose survives Dragons Forever intact. The same goes for his romance with the heroine - it's not without its kicks and twists, it takes a hammering but goes the distance.
Jackie plays Mr Lung (nickname: Big Nose), an unorthodox lawyer whose techniques include beating up a client and forcing a witness to admit her love for him while under oath. The narrative defies logic at times, with characters acting erratically. The blame for this must lie with director Samo Hung, who gives some of the best scenes to the loveable arms dealer he portrays. Fed up with living in Jackie's shadow, he made no more films with the superstar.
A pity, because any flaws in the plot or the subtitles are compensated by intricately structured action sequences. As with the best Jackie Chan fights, most of these set pieces involve sparse sets and a minimum of props. The audience are left to marvel at slow-motion acrobatics and crafty stunts. The main villain's come-uppance is particularly memorable, as he is injected with hard drugs, falls from a gantry and drowns in a narcotic soup.
Dragons Forever is mercifully economical in length - a herd of extras pile into shot as the credits roll, brushing aside scenes that must have cost more than a series full of Casualties. The audience is left to marvel at the action-clogged climax, confirming GQ Magazine's appraisal of Jackie as 'the biggest martial arts movie star of all time.'

Summary: Sammo, Jackie and Yuen!!
Review: This is a must see for fans of the Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Samo Hung brother movies. It is their last film starring together and the action is great. They have a chemistry which only comes from a long association - growing up together certainly qualifies. Not only do they fight the bad guys, but they fight each other! (And Jackie does not come off as the lilly-white hero he usually portrays!) I didn't like it as much as Wheels on Meals, but for a fan of the dynamic brothers, its a definte must see! (P.S. Benny the Jet gets another chance at Jackie)
