I am by no means a Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, or of the genre in general, but I was simply blown away by the fight sequences. Some of the stunts I had never seen before, and even those that have long since become cliche continued to impress me. Although the plot was rather simple and at times I was confused as to Jackie Chan's character's intentions, I didn't watch this movie for its intellectual stimulation...
Incredibly acrobatic!

Absolutely one of the Jackie's best ones. No doubt about that! There is nothing to say. Im stunned! Movie includes several fights and every single one of them are one of the best Jackie has ever made. Sammo and Yuen plays their part good too, but Jackie does mainly the best stunts, fights and slapstick. Jackie, Sammo and Yuen fights each other several times! The main event is a re-match fight between Jackie and Benny "the Jet" (someone, cant remember the last name, its really hard). Last time these guys met in "wheels on meals". Did i mention, that the stunts are incredible! Definetly one of the best!!!!

One again "Jackie Chan" & "Sammo Hung Kam-Bo" & "Biao Yuen" star in the same movie. This is the most amazing movie!!! It's even better then "Project A" with the three brothers. This movie has the most amazing fight scenes and stunts there is. And this is the funniest "Jackie Chan" movie there is. There is an amazing fight aboard a ship and a fight in a restaurant in the beginning of the movie. Also see "Jackie" fight the amazing "Benny Urquidez". That fight is ranked among the best "Jackie's" fight scenes ever filmed and I agree. So go rent buy doesn't matter as long as you see this film.
After having watched Project A and Wheels on Meals, I couldn't help having some high hopes for this last one with the three leads together for a final time. I guess I'm a bit disappointed over how simple it was, but then again, it's what you should expect from a Hong Kong Action Comedy from the 80s.
The film is split into three parts - introducing the three leads, two of the leads romancing the women and final part the fight with the bad guys. I'm sure there could be ways to make the film more smooth in it's storytelling, but we're not really introduced to the main baddies reason for being bad until the last part of the film. Instead they make silly gags about Yuen trying to hide a listening bug device in one of the womens apartment, helping Jackie out, or just Yuen attacking Jackie during one of his dates. Sure, we get great fights these times, but you don't really feel like there's much on stake these time. Although, even I have to admit that when the three of them fight each other, I got some Three Stooges vibes, in the best way possible, I laughed out loud over how greatly choreographed it all was. However, the weakest part of the film was the whole romantic section between Jackie and his love interest as well as Sammo and his - poor Yuen just had to be the comic relief in the end. The romantic part slowed the whole film down and caused a hiccup in the otherwise fast-moving narration.
The best part however is the third act, the famous fight(s) in the bad boss' factory. You can tell that Sammo as a director knows how to use his actors right, Wah Yuen is amazing and laugh-out-loud funny with his sneaky kicks and keeping the cigar in his mouth all the time, too bad we don't got more of him. We also got Benny Urquidez as the boss' henchman, I've only seen two films with him, but damn, I will never forget his face, looking so intimidating and really giving Jackie a challenge until the end. I rate the last part of this film 10 out of 10, but sadly the middle drags it down. Still, it's a great ending to this trilogy.

Dragons Forever seems to me to be a little overlooked amongst Jackie's other more celebrated movies such as Project A or Armour of God. It's a pity, because I've seen more then 40 of his movies and Dragons would be in my top ten or very close.
It's practically your perfect Jackie Chan movie; great action, great humour, and just a lot of fun to watch. I didn't find the romance side painful at all, though character's motivations can be a little shady.
As you might know- Jackie, Samo, and Yuen Biao haven't appeared together in a project since Dragons Forever, and as much as i enjoy Jackie alongside a Tucker or a Wilson, it would be just great to have those three reunited again some day soon!

- WissenswertesAs of 2025, this was the last time Hong Kong's most famous film actors (Colloquially called as the Three Brothers because they all attended the famous China Drama Academy in Hong Kong at the same time) Jackie Chan, Sammo Kam-Bo Hung, and Biao Yuen appeared in a movie together.
- PatzerWhen Jackie is in Tung's flat he watches a selection of fish in a clear tube suspended from the ceiling. When it cuts to the next shot the fish that Jackie was just looking at are nowhere to be seen and there is no way that they could have swum far enough away from where he was looking within the tube when the cut occurred.
- Alternative VersionenThe Hong Kong version excludes two scenes of Biao visiting the psychiatrist.
