DRAGON LORD (1982)

MORGAN'S RATING

Dragon and his buddy Cowboy get mixed up in a plot to swipe some valuable Chinese antiques and are forced to kick butt. However, the real attraction here is a number of showstopping set pieces that involve Jackie and Cowboy playing some pretty demented versions of Badminton and Football, all while trying to win the heart of a local beauty. Dragon Lord is still a very worthy entry in the Jackie Chan canon.
