Summary: No strings attached
Review: Instead of dangling Jet Li like a puppet on strings, Kiss lets Jet demonstrate his awesome martial art talent. Li plays the role convincingly as he himself holds to the same values as the character; a promise to a woman must not be broken. Though the plot/dialogue/etc isn't revolutionary, the honor theme is an old and comfortable one to enjoy. Artistically, Kiss is more graphic in violence than I anticipated for a Jet Li film. It could also lose the rapping background music during fight scenes.

Summary: Dragon Kiss totally rocks.
Review: Watch this movie only if you love martial arts action of the highest genre! Jet Li is in top form, and we enjoy a bit of Paris as he combats battalions of heavily armed, very bad guys. Jet Li burst on the scene in 1980 with his teenage 'Shaolin Temple.' An instant classic. Before then, as a 13 year old(!), Jet Li (Li Lianjie) won first place in all five wushu/martial arts forms for China. And I'm talking about the entire country of China! Jet Li is the real deal and he kicks ass!
Great movie. Non-stop action and fighting. Not for the faint of heart.

Summary: Just give me a kiss!!!!!
Review: Well ladies and gentlemen, here it is at last. Jet Li's first starring role in a descent american film. I was a major NON-fan after the kung fu collapse that was ROMEO MUST DIE, but then I had to swallow my pride when he proved himslef to me in THE ONE. I instantly became a fan, so I rented this straight away after THE ONE, and let me tell you, Jet Li appears to be hell bent on erasing any memory I have of ROMEO. Li plays Chinese inspector Liu Jian, whose brought to France to aid the arrest of a Chinese drug lord and his French partner. But it turns out htat Richard (Tcheky Karyo),the Parisian police commissioner, is the partner, under orders to kill the drug lord if he nears capture. Not only does Richard do just that, but he also kills a hooker, and pins both murders on Liu. Liu now must use his martial arts skills to fight his way out and clear his name. This movie has everything I expected out of a Jet Li movie once I became a fan, and I think his english gets better with every American film he does. Watch as he sigle handedly topples a karate class of 25, and as he faces two exceptional oppenants in the final fight. And why exactly is it called KISS OF THE DRAGON. You don't want to know. Jet Li, your'e the man.

Summary: A total suprise
Review: This is the very first time I have ever rented a movie without much of a positive expectation, viewed it, returned it early and immediately purchased the DVD of it. I have long been a fan of Jet Li, and have always regarded his "Fist of Legend" as his best film, but I can't help that this film seemed to be made specifically to satisfy every desire I have ever had for a Jet Li film. Well, it was just one simple desire really. I just badly wanted to see him extremely angry and go through an entire building of people, so given the climax of this movie, I was quite satisfied. The plot is generic, and Fonda in perticular has weak moments. I won't say she was competely terrible, because she does have her good moments as well, but I never really got the impression she could play off Jet Li that well throughout the whole movie. The fight scenes in this film are absolutely spectacular, and up to quality with the best Jet Li films. If I were to demonstrate how incredibly gifted and amazing Jet Li's abilities are, I would use this film. Tcheky Karyo, already an actor that I enjoyed, shines very bright as the villan in this film. The DVD is more loaded than you would probably think, and has various featurettes, trailers and a commentary track that Fonda absolutely dominates. You will be yearning throughout the entire thing for her to stop talking and Jet Li to perk up. However, there are behind the scenes fight-choreography footage feeaturettes that are an awesome added bonus. The DVD transfer and audio were excellent. Absolutely a must purchase, and would be a fantastic Jet Li introduction to anyone that hasn't seen him before.

Summary: WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Anybody that has never seen this movie should buy it. Jet Li delivers the goods, but Briget seemed out of place as the junkie/prostitute. The plot of the movie is average but watered down by the romance between Jet and Briget. The movie has some of the best action sequences I have ever seen. It's unreal how Jet Li can take any thing from a rabbit to a small stick and kick the heck out of any body he finds. Some of the scenes stick out more then others i.e.; the fight scene between Jet and the two big blonde twins fighters, another is the scenes were he takes on the fifty+ karate students. The fight scenes are very bloody and brutal. I would not recommend letting any body under the age of 13 see this movie. The movie is rated R. But it had to edited before it could be shown in America. All and all. Five star movie. The best Jet Li movie to date.

Summary: Kinda bad
Review: I think this is the best Hollywood movie Jet Li has done, but its not enough fight scenes, and when there are, they are worthlessly filmed and not to good choregraphed. Hollywood just cant make martial arts movies right. My advise to him would be: Forget hollywood and do like Bruce Lee, produce and direct your own movies.

Summary: It's a little more complicated then that
Review: This movie is a classic action genre piece of good vs. evil. Jet Li's character is the reluctant hero who is coaxed into saving the day by the character played by Bridget Fonda. The interaction between Li and Fonda works very well and has you rooting for them. And of course, there are the wonderful fight scenes played out to perfection. As for the bad cop, well sometimes good can be really bad, and bad he was... While his Barbies were out working, he got what was coming to him!
Rating:
Summary: SO UNDER RATED
Review: I can't believe that this movie didn't get any real acclaim from anybody, it has to be one of the best films that belong in that genre. Now, I'm not comparing it to Citizen Kane or anything, or saying that Jet Li is second to Laurence Olivier, but in contrast to what is usually expected from an action/adventure movie surrounding the usual yarn of drug dealers and the one decent cop, this is a great flick!

Summary: I hate Jet Li
Review: This movie really was terrible. Jet Li is just a short little chinese man and the movie just sucked. What really made me mad is at the end when the bad guy gets killed from the kiss of the dragon needle. His punishment just doesn't fit the crime. It's also stupid how Jet Li goes out of his way to help a prostitute (Bridget Fonda) and save her little daughter. It already made me made the way the bad cop died in the end by stupid Jet Li, but I would have been more mad if Bridget Fonda was a super hot lady and Li killed the awesome bad guy the way he did at the end. How much unrealistic can you get? All the stupid chinese man does in the movie is put needles into people.

Summary: I hope you all get the joke
Review: I've been a Jet Li fan forever, and he, like many other hong kong cinema star transfers, can not be judged based on his work released souley for the American public, if you want a great introduction to Li pick up 'Fist of Legend' and 'Once Upon a Time in China'.
On that note I must say i have been severly disapointed in Li's films produced for american audiences and 'Kiss of The Dragon' was so off the mark in every respect of what i wanted it to be, that it ended up being superb, I mean DAMN! Li has succesfuly reached highest pinacle of Good-Bad ! This was quite possibly the greatest comedy of the year!
Yes the fighting is well done,it's gritty rough and generally kick ass, but pretty much everything else left me scracthing my head and laughing till my eyes teared...but i wouldnt have wanted it any other way!
From the opening shot of cannibal rabbits,(what the hell was that?) to the random apperance of a large 'ready to rumble' greased up black man, this film had me in stiches. I mean who dosent love evil for the sake of being evil frenchmen! And its impossiable not to enjoy the stale uncomfortable dramatic dialouge delivered by Li and Fonda(CHUNG>CHUNG>CHUNG"SOMEBODY HELP MEEEEEE!") Did i mention the completly out of place musical score by outkast? You can bob you head along to 'shake your ass watch yourself', while a senator gets gutted by a hooker, i mean it really dosent get much wors... i mean better than this.
I cant say enough about my love for this, the finest peice of cinema trash ive seen in forever, PLEASE BUY 'KISS OF THE DRAGON'!!! get a bunch of friends together and hold your own MST3K party to this one, it's begging for it!
