Dragon Fist

Buy This Item Dragon Fist by Sony Pictures  Available from Amazon  $14.95  on 11-27-2008     Dragon Fist has very well done choregraphy. This is one of his good films with Lo Wei. Jackie was in good physical shape at the time of this movie so there is some pretty sweet acrobatics. His amazing choreography ability shows in every fight scene. <br /> <br />This DVD (Columbia Tristar) has cut the film from its original 95 minutes to 75 minutes. But to make up for it, it does have the original widescreen aspect ratio (2:35:1) and the original Cantonese audio with English subtitles. Although sometimes fight scenes will happen without any explaination, and you don't really get the WHOLE plot. But for the most part, you know what's going on. <br /> <br />If you want the whole story, get the Simitar DVD. That DVD is full screen, but you get its entire version with a pretty good picture quality. But stay away from the Beverly Wilshire DVD. They took Dragon Fist straight from a banged-up VHS without any refinement of the picture whatsoever. Also, the Beverly Wilshire version claims that it's widescreen, but they took it from a full screen version and then cropped the tops and bottoms to make it look "widescreen." So you are better off with a full screen version from Simitar. Reader Reviews During an awesome opening tournament scene with Hsu Hsia taking on all comers, he gets killed, and his student played by Jackie Chan goes to take revenge. He goes with his master's wife and daughter to find the killer. But when he gets there, we find out that this man is very sorry for what he did. There's a bit more to the story, but I don't want to give it away. It's not a great story, but darker than most kung fu movies. I didn't see Jackie smile once. He gives a great acting performance, and an even better fighting performance. This is the most hate I have ever seen from Jackie. No comedy, he just tears people up with his awesome kung fu. Yen Shi Kwan, Eagle Han Ying, James Tien and Chui Fat also star, and they all give fine performances. This is the best I have ever seen James Tien look next to his performance in Bone Crushing Kid. Jackie worked him really hard on this movie. 3.5/5 The Columbia Tristar DVD has awesome picture quality, a good sounding Chinese dub, and the original oldschool English dub (not one of those crappy dubs you hear sometimes).
