Jiu long bu bai

This is the worst of the worst movies out of Hong Kong so far in 2019. It might become the champion of the worst movie ever made in Hong Kong. What a big joke, man. The screenplay is so childish and ridiculous, the directing, the costume and make-up, the....Well, none of them was right, just ridiculously bad. The hair stylist for the leading actor should be fired. It's just bad, through and through. Zhang Jin was totally wasted by this absurd movie, and he should be aware that if he kept signing up to play roles in such kinda lousy movies with so laughable screenplays and bad directors, soon he'd be marginalized and pushed aside as a B-level actor. All the supporting actors in this movie also suck big time. Nothing is right, so don't waste your time and money to watch this brain-dead movie. It'll harm your brain.

I was able to catch Invincible Dragon on my flight to Hong Kong recently and well - let's just say on my DVD shopping spree in Kowloon, I hadn't the slightest urge to buy this one for my collection!

That collection by the way, which is a strong 4,000 movies consisting mainly of HK cinema, which probably contains nothing (if very few) like what I witnessed when watching this film...

I can't even say, if this was made in the 80s it would work - it's not even just the insanity of the story that makes this a WTF movie - it's the script, the acting, the dodgy CG, and using Silva as a bad guy, and well, I guess the direction too!

Celebrated director Fruit Chan's first foray into action cinema is quite simply not a great one. It's not even a good one! I does have the odd entertaining moment or three, but that's far from enough to make up for the mess woven throughout it.

It's quite unfortunate really.

I was really hoping this would be a real return to what's been missing from HK cinema the last 20 years... but no.

Give it a go. You may find it entertaining, or like myself, you may just be left asking yourself 'what the actual did I just watch?'

This movie is a Hong Kong production and the DVD comes with a Cantonese version. All the main characters of this movie are from all over the world but not Hong Kong. Anderson Silva is Brazilian American. Kevin Cheng and Juju Chan are Chinese American from San Francisco and New York. Annie Liu is from Taiwan and Jin Zhang is from China. None of them are native Cantonese speakers. Their dialogues in Cantonese are so funny and not one person can speak fluent Cantonese. Skip the Cantonese version.

Max Zhang is always impressive! His fighting is beautiful in its grace and brutality! I never tire of watching him fight. The story line is good for an action flick. More impressive is his English! I know it's hard to get the pronunciation down. Max Zhang did a good job with that. He was understandable. I wish the writers had done a better job with the English parts. Not that they were any more cheesy than American action flick writing.

I gave this a 6 because Max Zhang is Amazing despite some of the bad writing!

A Chinese movie. It is a kind of action thriller. Totally crazy. The effects are lousy, quite a few moments are poorly achieved and caricatured, in fact the dragon is too exaggerated. Disappoints in visual effects. The performances are not entirely accomplished. The choreographies of well executed blows. The script seems written by a teenager. Although the story is not bad. It fulfills its function which is to entertain but only that. It is about a detective who has to have a revolver in a case of murdering female police officers and the incidents he does to achieve it.
