DRAGONS FOREVER (1987)

MORGAN'S RATING

Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung pioneered kung-fu comedy, and nowhere is their zaniness more evident than in Dragons Forever. Chan plays an amoral lawyer hired to defend a corporation polluting a local fish farm. He employs his friends to dig up dirt on the fishery, but in the course of their hijinks, two of them end up falling in love with the people they are supposed to spy on.

FACTS

CRITICAL COMMENTS

RELEASE DATE: 1987

"combines humour, well-meaning but slightly tongue-in-cheek drama and balletic martial arts, all filtered through the infectious personality of its star." -- Harvey O'Brien, Harvey's Movie Review
