So one of the channels we have on the HD is an all kick-flick channel. And occasionally it is even worth watching. And then there's times when I'm really bored and Jackie Chan is on.
This one is kinda weird because Jackie's character is kinda shady. He plays a hot-shot lawyer who's hired to cover up a chemical plant possibly polluting a nearby water source.
But who cares about the plot -- it's obvious that the filmmakers didn't. What's notable about Dragons Forever is that we get to see three great Hong-Kong fighters in the same movie -- Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Baio. And this movie is basically a showcase for their talents. They battle each other throughout the movie, and the finale, which involves a lot of improvisation and acrobatic stunts, is worth sitting through the mess of a story.
I wouldn't make an extreme effort to find this rare movie, unless you're a real kick-flick fan. And if you're that big of a fan, you might have already seen it.
