Kiss of the Dragon

This is a movie with a lot of action and a plot to go along with it. I wish there was more like it. One movie Ill watch more than once.

Been wanting the movie in my collection for years now I have it. Everything was great im very pleased

I decided to see this movie when it came out expecting to see what I saw in the usual Jet Li movies, wire-works (some of you kung-fu movie watchers know what I am talking about, but if you dont, wire-works is when the actor or stunt man is suspended in air or swinging on a cable performing unusual fighting moves). Wire-works are cute, but I do not like them because they are slow and take me away from the action most of the time. This movie HAS NO WIRE WORKS in the action sequences. I was so happy, finally a martial arts movie for the new millennium not caught into the new-old trend to hit Hollywood. The martial arts scenes are fast, rough, brutal, and are simply what Bruce Lee fans want to see. There was a fight scene Jet Li had in a dojo that reminded me of Chinese Connection a.k.a. Fist of Fury. The story was not bad; it was good for a martial arts action movie. Personally I would have made the movie a bit longer (like 10 or 20 minutes) to make sure people know exactly why things are going on. Its workable but would have been perfect with a little bit of information. The big one in the beginning such as the French investigator and the Chinese drug boss, the movie doesnt tell you their connection exactly but its implied. Li is an overly devoted cop, so he doesnt have much to work with until he meets Fondas character, there his character is not just doing the job but being a character. Fondas character used to be addicted to drugs and is a forced-to-be prostitute. So her reactions were pretty not bad for Fondas acting and I thought she did a good job for her given character. The score is done by Craig Armstrong (from Massive Attack), which is cool of techno/orchestra. Also there are some hip-hop songs thrown in two of the fight scenes. The one by Mystikal was bearable because of the drum beat (not a bass electronic beat) so it felt OK. Personally I dont like rap in fight scenes cause the talking (rapping) might take it away. I like rap in the background or to set a scene, not in a fight scene, unless it is instrumental.

I watch this movie lots of time just had to have a copy love it Jet Li great actor.

I am very happy with this purchase. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. It arrived quickly, and the price was right. Thank you!

One of Jet Lis best and a great movie that I greatly recommend to watch.

Jet Li stars as a Chinese police officer sent to Paris to assist their authorities on breaking up a drug smuggling ring. Upon arrival he quickly finds himself set up by one very corrupt policeman. Throw in a prostitute with a heart of gold (Bridget Fonda) and you have all the ingredients, corny though some of them may be, for a terrific action film. With Mr Li doing what he does best, without the aid of Industrial Light and Magic, aided and abbetted by a very sexy Miss Fonda the film is a treat for connoisseurs of the genre. The film is spoilt only by whoever it was decided to cut bits from specific fight scenes, making them appear jerky and slightly disjointed.

Gritty and hard-edged, it is Luc Besson at his best, with splendid performances from Jet Li & Bridgette Fonda. Taut story line, action-packed with truly despicable villains abounding, and fast paced, its great fun, nothing deep, just entertainment.

Still remember first time I saw this movie in the theater. My girl and I had to go back for a second movie date.

love anything with Jet Li in it, but i do have to say that this was definitely one of his better films. Loved the fighting scenes, he just kicks ass. Definitely worth a second watch down the line.
