 wanna know what happens when godfrey ho gets actual kugn fu actors to direct June 18, 2006

We get the same old terrible godfrey ho movie, but it doesn't end with the white ninja vs the red, we get actual choreographed fights. Easily the best godfrey ho movie I haev seen to date, and sadly, I haev seen hundreds of his ninja flicks. Now the story is just as bad and meaningless as always. Let me tell you what I was able to decipher. John Liu fights a guy at the start of the movie. He beats him and because they fought, their secret style is lost forever?? There are a few white guys in this and a main one who is selling stolen antiques of course. Chan Lau runs a business where he receives these antiques and also sits outside of his house with a blue painted face and challenges people to beat his fighters. He is willing to give up $20 if anybody can beat his guys. So a guy says ok, I'll fight. Chan lau is like, alright, take on Bolo. So Bolo uses this cool gorilla style. Then someone comes in and beats Bolo. Then Phillip Ko shows up and kills him just after his victory on Bolo. Dragon Lee goes around doing Bruce Lee poses and tino Wong is his brother. Dragon is training one day and John Liu watches him. Dragon doesn't liek people watching him so he fights Liu. Then tino wong comes down to fight him. He says "I must kill you to revenge my father". All of this is classic godfrey ho. Sometimes you can have up to 100 or so movies in one pf his films. But this manages to be cut down to only about 3 movies. New record for godfrey ho. Chan Lau hires Liu to work for him, because, well, Bolo lost so he needs another fighter. Hey, I figured one of the plot lines out! Fat kid shows up who you have seen in MANY movies(one is snake in eagle's shadow) and he is trying to break his plates out in some wasteland and is getting mad casue tino wong is catching them and not lettign them break???????? Then we see Chan Lau having this weird scenee where he can't breath and is eating roaches. This happens in the dark of course and I think he is supposed to be a demon, but why I am tryign to figure stuff out in a godrefy ho movie. But basically it leads up to him learning the mad dog technique and biting up dragon lee. That fight and the finale is what got this film it's 3 stars. Good stuff from the great Godfrey Ho.
We also get training sequences and stupid plot twists that add to the film horribleness also. What a wonderful movie.
Now this movie is also called dragon, the hero. So why is dragon the star of so many ho movies and nodody elses, Godfrey just loves him I guess.
Picture quality is full screened and pretty bad picture with colors bleedign all over the screen. Adn whoeeevr the cameraman was when they were actually filming this, he must have had a seizure at one point.

Nice to get this movie on DVD.There are no extras with it, but the quality is good. Well worth it if you're a true martial arts movie fan, especially a fan of John Liu. Unfortunately, there are a couple of annoying characters in this one, but the heroes make up for it, and the fight scenes are great. This has been one of my favorites for years.
 Sorry - This Movie Is Waaaay Overrated July 1, 2003

I'm not sure why people have given this film such good reviews. Maybe it's one of the reasons why I disliked it even more. I was expecting a film with great fighting, even without the good storyline, but I was very disappointed. My main beef with this film is the way Godfrey Ho manipulates the speed of the fighting sequences. I think he should have just undercranked to make it look like they were fighting faster. Instead, he snips out frames, so for example, at one second, a guys hands at his waist, while in the next instance it's above his head! Not to mention the fact that the coreography itself isn't memorable. Philip Ko is a great fighter (at least, he is in other films I've seen, like 'Tiger Over Wall'), but boy is wasted in this film. Tino Wong and John Liu are also not impressive in this film. And what's up with Dragon Lee? His character goes around making bruce lee faces and manneurisms, but what is the point of his character? I guess one interesting fact about this film is that it features some 'voodoo kung fu', which would become a popular genre during the early 80's.
If you really are curious about this film, I'd suggest getting it as a cheapie in that 'Dragon Lee' set by BCI Eclipse/Brentwood. At least, if you dislike it, you won't have wasted your money, and if you really liked it, you'd feel satisfied about getting your money's worth and more.

This movie called, "Dragon on Fire" is the TITEST MOVIE in the whole WIDE WORLD! I'd give it 10 STARS for the highest scale! I really admire Dragon Lee in this movie! He is my IDOL! He is my MOST favorite actor of all time! Lots of awesome fighting sequences makes this movie ROCK the WORLD! I like the way he wastes the gang members! The movie makes me keep my eyes stuck to the television screen for hours! The movie is very addicing to watch! I can watch it over and over like many times and still not get used to it! Dragon Lee's fighting sequences are EXTREMELY EXTRAORDINARY! The VERY BEST BRUCE LEE IMPERSONATOR! This is a very must see movie for all Dragon Lee/Bruce Lee fans! I really love it when Dragon Lee turns villains and enemies on FIRE every time he kicks and punches them plus he also uses Bruce Lee's nunchucks! That makes people on fire, too! Lots of blood makes this movie an AWESOME MARTIAL ARTS THRILLER! I think Dragon Lee is at his very best performance on screen! His fighting keeps me mesmerized forever! I think Dragon Lee's fighting is a lot better than Bruce Lee! He is a total awesome international star for the whole world to see!

Two men enemies by blood, forced to be partners is battle. Trained in complimenting styles they come together in order to kill the master of many styles. Can they work together, or are there hidden ogendas? Some of the best fights you'll see. Phillip Kao, John Liu, Wilson Tong, and Dragon Lee star in this definite classic.
