Dragões para Sempre

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

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.

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 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.
