Mr. Hua is a murderous businessman. Miss Yeh is suing Hua for dumping chemicals into her pond. Johnny Lang (Jackie Chan) is a defense lawyer. He hates his rapist client. His new client is Hua and his goal is to keep the factory producing. Miss Lee from HKU is testing the water and Yeh's cousin. Johnny gets his gun-running friend Luke (Sammo Hung) to spy on Yeh and Timothy to plant a bug in the apartment. Luke gets Timothy arrested and gets closer to Yeh. Lee accepts a date from Johnny to pump him for information.There is plenty of fight action as one might expect. I don't know if the trio of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Biao Yuen have ever done a version of Three Stooges HK fight movie. I prefer they portray close but combative friends. Their relationship in this movie is too messy. Timothy's actions give me whiplash. I don't get his character. There is too much of the movie when the three characters are separated. Jackie Chan would work so much better defending the good guys. The characters generally struck me as being wrong but the fight action is still terrific.

Review: I really didn't enjoy this movie! It's one of those comedic Jackie Chan movies, that really wasn't that funny and the acting was also a bit dodgy. It also seemed more like a Rom- Com than your usual action packed film, that we have grown to enjoy from Chan so it really has to go down as a bad day at the office for the action superstar.. Anyway, this film sees Jackie Chan playing a high flying lawyer who is hired to help a chemical plant owner to stop a woman from suing them for polluting the area. With the help of his close friends Luke Wong (Sammo Hung) and Timothy Tung (Biao Yuen), he uses some undercover tactics to build a case against the adamant woman but he ends up falling for her cousin and with much persuasion, Sammo Hung falls for the woman that they are building a case against. From here it turns into a soppy love story but when Chan and his team finally find out what the people at the chemical plant are really getting up to, they take matters into there own hands which puts all of there life's in danger. I lost interest in this movie right from the beginning because of the silly jokes, annoying music and bad script. Some of the action scenes wasn't that bad but the two love stories got on my nerves. It seems like a lot of the movies that Jackie Chan starred in with Sammo Hung and Biao Yuen were badly made comedies so I'll know what to expect when I see them in the cast. On the plus side, Chans acting wasn't too bad and the chemistry between the 3 action stars was OK but I wasn't impressed with the film. Disappointing!Round-Up: This is another movie directed by Sammo Hung which I didn't enjoy. He still pulled off some good moves, even though he's a bit on the heavy side but I still am struggling to understand there sense of humour. I just hope that this Jackie Chan season will pick up soon, because the movies that I have watched in the latter part of his career, have been pretty awful. I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/comedy/romance/martial arts movies starring Jackie Chan, Biao Yuen and Sammo Kam-Bo Hung. 2/10

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.

Dragons Forever may be one of Jackie Chan's best and certainly one of his most satisfying films. It contains some of the best fight action of his career,and an equal amount of humour,but also has a reasonable plot,some character development and a welcome dose of romance,something which is usually sidelined in Chan films. In fact,this is one Chan movie which might be enjoyed just as much by the gals as well as the guys.This was the last film featuring the great trio of Chan,Samo Hung and Yuen Biao,and it sees them experimenting a bit by playing against type. Chan is really good as a shady,skirt chasing lawyer,and Biao is very funny as a mentally unstable thief {some versions of the film remove two of his scenes,so beware},but Hung,who was easily the best actor of the three,gives the stand out performance as Chan's devious gun running buddy. A great deal of time is given to Hung's and Chan's romances,and there is one really touching if over the top scene involving Hung with a megaphone trying to get his potential girl to trust him in front of loads of people.Some of the film's slapstick perhaps goes on a bit,but there are some terrific scenes where the three heroes keep comedic-ally fighting each other,sometimes all at one time. Don't worry action fans,amidst all this romance and slapstick is some superb fighting. The fights are not that many in number and some are quite brief,but Chan looks near his best and Hung and Baio also shine. Chan's running battle with a gang of heavies on a ship and his duel with Benny Urquidez {a thrilling battle and not at all like the Chan/Urquidez match in Wheels On Meals} are amongst his best fights ever. Just try and keep a a note of all the stunt men who do extremely dangerous falls during the climax! As often with a Hung-directed film,the violence is a bit stronger than the usual Chan film.As usual there is the odd scene which doesn't work,such as when Hung apologizes to his girlfriend and she......smashes him in the face with an iron bar!-after which they make up! The film was rushed and sometimes looks a little rough around the edges. Nevertheless,this is a truly enjoyable all round movie which should satisfy even if you're not really into martial arts movies!
