There really are only these three films, Project A, Wheels on Meals, and Dragons Forever that show Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao together at their best, and more importantly in their prime.

We rarely get Stuntmen interviewed for special features for Western films it is an utter delight to hear Chin discuss his craft over a long form interview. In addition to the laundry list of features from the previous release, this new limited edition comes with an 88-page perfect-bound book featuring new writing on the film from CJ Lines and Matthew Edwards, as well as promo materials and behind-the-scenes images, plus a large fold-out poster that has two sides and six replica Hong Kong lobby cards.
This career-spanning interview leaves no stone unturned in which he discusses how he eventually got to China and study marital arts his first HK Stunt Work ( Drunken Master 3) and eventually began to work with Chan on Mr. The Legacy of Dragons Forever offers very brief thoughts on the film by filmmakers, actors, and martial artists Troy Sandford, Chris Jones, Steve Lawson, Ross Boyask, Maria Tran, Mike Leeder, Jean-Paul Ly, Mark Strange, Mike Moeller, George Clarke, and Jude Poyer. Double Jeopardy (26:36, SD) – Brad Allen of Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim (2013), Edgar Wright’s The World’s End (2013), and Destin Daniel Cretton’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). However, that does mean that you get that eighties fashion and style in all its glory, and for the first time with Dragons Forever, I noticed a stunt performer doubling for Jackie Chan. Kick Fighter – in this archival program, Andy Cheng explains how he entered the film business and discusses his fighting style.
Chow does eventually show up, after the fight they filmed, to discuss how he got started in the industry, his relationship with Benny The Jet, how he eventually began to work with the likes of Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung and his work on Dragons Forever. The trio of Hong Kong martial arts legends in Dragons Forever may have been each other’s greatest supporters in their respective careers, with Yuen Biao frequently cameoing in movies that had Jackie Chan in the lead and Sammo Hung producing movies that had Yuen Biao in the lead. Dragons Forever takes on romance, comedy, and action with the skill and style that few films currently do let alone in 1988. Hung gets the best gags, such as a laugh-out-loud moment where he’s trying to take covert photographs of an illegal operation, only to realize every criminal in the place is looking at him. In particular, the HDR options elevate and enhance what’s normally an unremarkable color palette, allowing for a variety of deeper hues and inky blacks.
Nice Guy, why/how he eventually joined Chan’s Stunt team, all which culminated in working on Gorgeous as the main villain, and much more. Some of the details include how he applied and got in for what he didn’t realize was a Stuntman Class, being hired on as a stunt performer, how Chan inspired him during Rush Hour, and much more. This is a must own release and it will happily see an entry on my “Best of” list at the end of the year. So, when the bickering ends and things get serious, the trio about-face and use their destructive power for good.Dragons Forever features Dolby Atmos audio for the Hong Kong and Japanese cuts, and DTS-HD Master Audio 2. This collection includes three different cuts of the film: the original Hong Kong release cut (94:25), the extended Japanese version, released as Cyclone Z (97:54), and an English language version commissioned by Golden Harvest for international audiences (94:06). Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao teamed up for a trilogy of Hong Kong action comedies in the ‘80s where they capitalized on their long-standing friendship to show off just how brutal and brutally funny they can be together.
He enlists resourceful acquaintances Wong Fei-Hung (Sammo Hung) and Dung Dak-Biu (Yuen Biao) to assist in the case, but loyalties begin to falter when romance blossoms between both sides. When the first DRAGONS FOREVER blu-ray was released in 2020, I had commented that it felt a little bit off that there was no Frank Djeng commentary track given how big this film was.The distributor recently expanded to the US with ten Shaw Bros films such as The Chinese Boxer and Human Lanterns but also other works including US exclusive releases of In the Line of Duty I-IV series and Police Story 3: Supercop. Sure, they were heavily choreographed, but they were just brutal to the point that Sammo’s characters would kill their opponents more than they would save them (in the final fight at least). English Version - 4K restoration of the English version of Dragons Forever, which was commissioned by Golden Harvest for international audiences outside Asia with the classic English dub. Films flop when popular actors try and stretch themselves and move out of their comfort zones, and inadvertently move out of audience comfort zones in the process. Regardless of which version you choose, it’s a mostly satisfying viewing experience, and it’s the best the film has ever looked on home video.
As with all such flops, they are ripe for re-evaluation years after the fact, and when I watched the film on DVD a few years ago, I quite enjoyed it.
