“For a Jackie Chan movie, then u0026quot;Dragon Lordu0026quot; was a fairly mediocre experience. There wasnu0026#39;t the usual Jackie Chan magic or personal touch to this movie. The movie tried too hard to mix comedy and serious action, and it just didnu0026#39;t go well together.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie was also weighed down by a storyline that was intended to be serious, but trying to incorporate slapstick comedy, and again it was to an extend where it just didnu0026#39;t fully work as intended. And it didnu0026#39;t help the movie one bit that it had a couple of scenes that were taking too long to execute. Especially the last fight scene, it was dragging on for a very long time, and it started to become stale and somewhat of a parody to watch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo what worked in this movie? Well, the fighting and the action, of course. As to be expected, as this is a Jackie Chan movie after all. As with most of his other movies, the martial arts and action scenes were well executed and brought to the screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am a big fan of Jackie Chan, and must admit that u0026quot;Dragon Lordu0026quot; is not amongst the best of his entire movie career. But bear in mind that this movie is from 1982. That being said, then it should be stated that it is not his worst movie either. But it is, of course, a movie that is well deserved a place in the DVD collection of any Jackie Chan fan. Just sad to say, that this isnu0026#39;t really the type of movie that you watch more than once.”
