Defence lawyer Jackie Lung (Jackie Chan) represents shady businessman Hua Hsien-Wu, who is accused of polluting a local fish farm owned by Miss Yip (Deannie Yip). To help him win the case, Jackie enlists two friends from the criminal fraternity, arms dealer Luke Wong Fei-hung (Sammo Hung) and cat burglar Timothy Tung Tak-Biao (Yuen Baio). Jackie also romances Miss Yip's pretty cousin Nancy (Pauline Yeung) in order to get inside information, but finds himself falling in love for real, resulting in a change of heart that pits him and his friends against Hua Hsien-Wu and his cronies.

For twelve incredible minutes, Dragons Forever shows Chan, Biao and Hung at their very best, in a blistering finale that sees the trio battling numerous bad guys in a chemical factory: our heroes perform amazing feats of acrobatics, punch and kick at jaw-dropping speed, bodies falls from gangways onto hard surfaces, and lots of glass is smashed. It's just a shame that to get there one must endure well over an hour of mediocre comedy and dull romance, interspersed by the occasional spot of less memorable martial arts to retain the attention of fight fans until the final showdown.

As a whole, the film really only warrants an average rating, but I'm happy to bump it up a bit for the main bad guys, the excellent Yuen Wah (who also played the memorable villain from another fave of mine, Eastern Condors), and the awesome Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez—never has eyeliner been so macho! 6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

The comedy is VERY funny (casting Jackie as a lawyer is funny in itself, intentionally I hope), the romance is sweet and the action is (expectedly) spectacular. The film is marred only by its inconsistent tone: there is a little too much violence toward the end, which doesn't sit too well with the rest of the movie. By the way, I watched the dubbed version, and this may be one of those rare instances where the dubbing does not significantly detract from the film - in fact, it probably ENHANCES the comedy. (***)

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!

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.

One of the greatest trios of all time. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung ad Yuen Bio are all so good. Chan does the crazy stunts but the other guys are just phenomenal as well. All characters are great except for the girls.

That's what drags the movie down. The girls. The boys chase the girls around, but that's not really what I want when watching these movies. It's kind of an okay story with a bit of romance etc but there are better things to focus on. The trio's brotherhood with each other would have been more interesting and perhaps even emotional.

All the action is as you would expect awesome. The movie features a lot more one on one action which is cool. I do prefer seeing Jackie fight 100 enemies at once, but his fight against Benny the Jet is great. What's cool about these scenes is how innovative they are. They can use any object as a weapon and the acrobatic moves are awesome. The scenes with 1v1 are a bit more boring because then it's just battles until someone wins and not as creative.

Compare Jackie Chan's older works with his movies like Rush Hour (American) and there is such a difference. They were crazy entertainers in the 80s in Hong Kong. Everything so much better. Crazy and daring stunts, sick choreography, better editing, better cinematography, more freedom for Chan who understands action comedy much better than Hollywood.

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!!!!

10/10

This is another excellent movie with three of the greatest kung-fu masters in Hong Kong (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Biao Yuen). The story is okay, but the love-stuff is kind of stupid. But that doesn't really matter, because the fighting scenes are really excellent. Not only do the three fight each other, but Jackie Chan also has another meeting with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. A must see for all Jackie-fans!

This movie is pure! It is like a remake to wheels on meals. Sadly however, this movie was did not do well in the box office and the HKL DVD is cropped to 1:85:1 from its original aspect ratio.

Dragons Forever stars Jackie Chan (Police Story), Sammo Hung (Martial Law) and Yuen Baio (The Prodigal Son).

If you own a DVD of Dragons Forever, hit the fast-forward button and watch the end fight scene, It shows Jackie Chan fight Benny Urquidez and is literally the Jackie Chan equivalent of the Matrix!

The main problems with this movie is it was a little rushed and has a lot of editing flaws.

This is actually a really good kung-fu slapstick comedy film with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. The plot and the humor this time around is actually clever and witty on how it comes around. Jackie Chan during his prime played these trouble making, mischievous characters that are still likable. This time he somewhat plays a despicable one that as the plot unfolds becomes likable. It was also nice to see the middle aged Deannie Yip(who I think of as a amazing Chinese actress who's talents shine more as she gets older) as the target. This one seemed like a sequel or a spin off of "Wheels on Meals". Although I personally like this film better and found it more humorous and enjoyable. There is a second round of Jackie vs. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. But the main highlight of this film is the constant fights between the trio. And how they fight each other all at once. And it's one of Jackie's and Sammo Hung's most entertaining fight sequences, plus Jackie's trademark getaway scenes. This the fights, the getaways and slapstick humor all work superbly in this for the most part. If you enjoy Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and even Yuen Biao movies this one is satisfying. And is a very good finish for the trio that gives off a lasting impression.

7.9/10

This is a HK movie starring three martial arts greats: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. Chan stars as lawyer Jackie Lung hired by a Hong Kong chemical plant to dispose of their company's opposition. But, when he falls for Nancy Lee, a woman who opposes the plant, and, stuck in the conflict of interest, he asks his friends Samo and Biao to assist in the investigation of the company.

With a movie starring all three legends, I thought the film was going to be a blast. However, it was mediocre at best, with the boring subplot of Sammo and Miss Yip's (Deannie Yip) love connection overshadowing the suspense. The scene where Sammo, Jackie and Biao argue and fight with each other was funny to watch, but the rest of the movie suffers from a slow plot and an uninteresting story, save for the riveting and action-packed climax.

The acting was sub-par, with Sammo being too serious, Jacky too silly, and Biao being pretty dimwitted. Pauline Yeung seemed uninterested in the role and Deannie Yip was OK.

Overall, it's not one of the movies starring Jackie, Sammo or Biao I would recommend.

Grade D+

The last of the 3 Brothers films is undoubtedly the best. Yes, even better than Project A. It took me a while to find a copy of this Chan-Hung-Biao classic, but as soon as I found it, I immediately bought it. I payed 29 dollars for it, and it was totally worth it. It has some of the best action choreography I have ever seen. It is a fast, hilarious, action-packed ride that everyone can enjoy. I think that every single person should see this film, because if you havent, you dont know what action really is.

9/10

The humour of Jackie is amongst his best here with his two great martial brothers Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, some great plot devices that both asian and western audiences will mostly find hilarious, mixing in some light martial tomfoolery but eventually as the tone of the story gets more serious, so too do the fighting sequences, levelling off to an enthralling final showdown at the drug production warehouse, with some of the most ferocious, creative and impressive martial set pieces I have ever seen on screen. The cinematography for these fight scenes is really well thought out and creatively assembled. The very final stand off between Jackie and Benny Urquidez (for the 2nd time) is not as good imo as their very first encounter in Wheels on Meals, but still great. The martial arts set pieces at the warehouse contain insane boldness for extreme risk taking for the sake of breathtakingly violent yet satisfying visuals, all the actors and stuntmen pulling out the stops to create something that can never be cinematically reproduced. I would perhaps rate it higher if the story was more compelling but due to a perfect marriage between the masterful cinematography and insanely impressive fight scenes, it's a must watch for any martial arts movie/Jackie Chan fan.

Biao's acrobatic fighting on the catwalk is breath-taking! His portrayal of the eccentric Timothy is the highlight of this movie. He absolutely steals every scene that he is in. Hey, as far as I'm concerned he steals every scene that he's not in, too, because I keep wanting to see more of him.

Please do not ever watch any dubbed Hong Kong movies. You will miss out on getting the film translated correctly, and frequently the dubbed versions are edited. Besides that, like the case of the dubbed version of "Dragons Forever", the voices are ridiculous. Thank goodness someone loaned me this terrible version

The subtitled DVD is the only way to go.

3 f····ers run around acting r·tarded while some gangster is pushing dope. Dragons Forever is the final collaboration between Sammo, Jackie,and Yuen Biao. It's a good one at that but romantic crap sucks. The court house scene after Jackie confesses his love to this snatch-faced broad was so annoying it literally made me vomit. As for the rest of the movie, it's a fun filled action movie with excellent martial arts action and stunts with a story that works and not so annoying comedy.

Dragon's Forever reunited the Peking Opera Brothers Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung. All incredible performers. This film also has a young Fruit Chan (Made In Hong Kong, Three Extremes) co-directing some scenes.

Jackie Chan plays a sort of sleazy playboy type, cast against his usual type of the hapless goofball boy next door, Sammo Hung plays a goofier role than usual almost like Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun where he gets caught up in situations despite having good intentions and Yuen Biao plays a charismatic madman criminal.

I think the main appeal of his film is for HK action cinema fans, unlike films like Police Story and The Killer it has less universal appeal. The joy for me is watching each actor trying to outdo each. There's some incredibly hard falls taken as well as stuntmen being thrown through sugar glass windows. The fights with all three leads show how good their timing and athleticism is. Credit also goes to hardkicking Benny Urquidez and excellent stuntman Yuen Wah who uses a cigar as a prop.

The Blu-Ray from 88 Films feature an incredible looking print with 5.1 sound and director's commentary.

The fight scenes are without a doubt the best I've seen in any film ever with Chan, Biao and Hung on top form and ably assisted by the magnificent Benny Urquidez. Unfortunately the film itself is absolutely rubbish and quite impossible to watch more than once, I always find myself fast-forwarding to the fight scenes. And has anyone noticed just how much violence is directed towards women in Hong Kong films??

Dragon Forever is a great martial arts with great fight scenes. Jackie Chan is funny as usual. Sammo Hung is very amusing in one of his funniest films. Yuen Biou is magnificent and the funniest out of the trio. When ever these three Superstars make a film together, they always Entertain. Wheels on Meals and Project A are also Great Movies from the trio. They also appeared together in small roles in Flop boring Movies My Lucky Stars and Twinkle twinkle lucky Stars. This is one of Jackie's finest movies, others include Police Story, Drunken Master, Armour of God, City Hunter, Twin Dragons and Rumble in the Bronx. Dragons Forever is filled with plenty of comedy and Great fight scenes including a fight with each other. I have seen this movie almost 30 times and never get bored of it.

I first saw "Dragons Forever" in the theater with subtitles. I was mesmerized. I had just discovered the magic of Jackie Chan and the fight scenes in it had me and the rest of the audience in awe. I knew I had to buy the video.

Unfortunately it turned out to be a dubbed version. I'm trying to put my finger on what is annoying about the dub voices. They seem overly familiar. Like these are the people who have done thousands of dubbings for Hong Kong films.

But even on the little screen, the fights are still amazing. Top notch choreography and stunts. Alas, director Sammo Hung decided to ladle on a lot of romantic sentimentality that really slows the pace. It's more noticeable on repeated viewings.

But I'll keep watching because of these highlights: Biao Yuen is great as Jackie's oddball friend and he's an amazing fighter. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez looking more cyborg than man. Biao's apartment with the over-sized light switch and tubes for a fish tank. Last but not least the white pin-striped suit of the psychiatrist that is absolutely to die for.

In Dragons Forever, Jackie Chan plays a rather scuzzy lawyer who teams up with two friends to help mobsters destroy some lady's pond. No, he doesn't know they are mobsters, but he also doesn't care, and overall I found Jackie's character less likable than usual.

The story is mildly amusing at first, but it gets progressively more tedious. By the halfway point, at which the romance elements came to the fore, I found it pretty intolerable and starting skipping forward to get to the action.

Of course, the action is always the main reason to watch Jackie, and there's some good stuff here, most notably when he and his friends all fight one another simultaneously.

But while there are some of Jackie's usual slapstick stunts and prop comedy, there is less than in my favorite Chan films. The final scene is a long, pretty straightforward martial arts fight that is fine for that but isn't the sort of Keaton-esque action I watch Jackie for.

Very dumb, not very funny, some decent action but even there disappointing for a Chan film.
