Dragons Forever (1988) 
Dragons Forever (1988), directed by Sammo Hung, is a high-octane Hong Kong action-comedy that brings together three of the most iconic martial arts stars of the ’80s: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. This film is a perfect mix of adrenaline-pumping action, slapstick humor, and daring stunts, making it a classic in the genre of Hong Kong action cinema.
The story follows a trio of unlikely heroes: Jackie Chan plays a lawyer named Jackie, Sammo Hung is a corrupt businessman, and Yuen Biao is a chemical engineer. When Jackie is asked to represent a woman, Miss Chan (who’s being wrongfully accused), they all become involved in a dangerous case against a ruthless industrialist involved in illegal activities. As they dive deeper into the case, they face off against various henchmen and get caught in a web of action-packed confrontations.
The film is a showcase of impressive martial arts choreography, with Jackie Chan’s trademark humor and stunt work at the forefront. Sammo Hung’s physicality and fighting style are also a delight to watch, and Yuen Biao brings his own brand of precision and agility to the action scenes. The three stars have great chemistry, and their collective talent elevates the film’s action sequences, which include fantastic fight scenes, car chases, and daring stunts that are both funny and jaw-dropping.
Although the plot is fairly simple and the humor is sometimes over-the-top, Dragons Forever succeeds in delivering exactly what fans of martial arts and action-comedy want: fast-paced fun with incredible fight choreography. The mix of slapstick humor and serious martial arts combat makes for a very entertaining film.
While Dragons Forever may not have the emotional depth of other martial arts classics, it remains a solid, fun entry in the genre and a must-watch for fans of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao.
