Kiss Of The Dragon (DVD 2002)

Martial arts master Jet Li explodes onto the screen with pulse-pounding action not seen since Bruce Lee.
"Li's" action sequences are like an oil fire, spilling from one room into the next and lighting up the interiors with heart and wreckage (New York Times)

China's top secret agent (Jet Li) is sent to Paris to carry out a top-secret mission only to encounter goverment espionage at the highest level.
Falsely accused of murder, he must team up with a seductive call girl (Bridget Fonda) to save himself and her!

If you love Jet Li..You'll love this.
Must see!

An action journey into the fast-paced world of martial arts as performed by Jet Li. One of the many he has used as a vehicle to show-case his unique talent. A must for any follower of martial arts and of Jet Li.

Possibly the best Kung Fu film of its era , comedy , romance and action with the latter taking preference . Had to buy this when I spotted it at such a low price , its one of those films you have to add to your libary . Check out the soundtrack too ....yep bought that as well .
Happy viewing and play it loud!

Very good action film with Jet Li doing his normal active deeds.
Plenty of good scenes and good entertainment to keep you occupied over a winter evening with a bottle of wine

Jet Li at his best, a serious fast paced non stop action thriller!
a must see for all jet li fans, you wont be dissappointed guranteed!
the only dissapiontment is that it's only 90mins!!

This is an action packed almost Bruce lee style thriller, with a centre on corruption at government level. Powerful barons, pimps and drugs set in the seedy underworld of Paris (which makes a change from the backdrop of America), make up a surprisingly complicated but realistic theme, even despite the showcase agent fighting sequences!

It sure is a hard and evil world portrayed here by the brutal ruling stronghold of police chief mafia's and the ring cocktail of narcotics, prostitution, vice and sheer dog eat dog murder!

Forget all that though. Sit back and enjoy the sheer feel of vengeance as our hero (Liu Jian, who plays a Criminal intelligence officer- a martial arts and acupuncture expert) slowly goes to work on a deadly conspiracy and no win scenario. This is a well cast and appropriately riveting and bloody piece of work that has a real sting in its tail.

It's thoroughly enjoyable and without doubt, as good as (but very different to) a Bond movie. The lack of a sense of humour is the only thing you could possibly fault this film on.

It's lightning-paced too. The exhilarating fight sequences feature Li using props a la Jackie Chan style. But to compensate for this pace an interesting relationship forms when Bridget Fonda enters the picture. The chemistry that clicks between her and Li is strong, and even sometimes sweet and touching.

The action scenes are supremely exciting and very impressive. First of all, there seems to be no wirework, or at least none that I noticed, so there’s a feeling of authenticity in all the fight scenes.

The action is very bloody and graphically violent. Some may see this as a flaw in the film by some of its settings. Those who think present-day Paris is nothing but a beautiful and romantic City obviously haven't seen it's underworld, and the grungy and seedy side of society in the city, (looks like the Rue St. Denis to me).

Fonda is good, and so is Li, who acts well. The quiet intensity he displays possibly says more than any dialogue that might spew out from say, Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme, perhaps, but I would have liked a bit of philosophical content too. Tcheky Karyo is disgustingly vile in his role, (just as any villain always is, of course).

The actual Kiss of the Dragon the movie's title refers to be a form of Chinese acupuncture, a method that Li uses in the film that can put people to sleep or give a very bloody death. This film’s all about action and I'm certainly not complaining when it comes to that. A must see!

If you are a fan of martial arts and the rated 18 films of the genre, this film will not disappoint. From the very start, the violence is in ya face and there kind of characters behind the violence are portayed as really low life scum with no regard for human life. Jet Li's films are different from Jackie Chan's in that he is not afraid to soak the film in violent scenes and scenes or scenes that would make you wince and cringe. The script is sharp with a good dosage of gutter language with a dash of dark\dry humour to in places. I also like the fact that there is very little love interest in the film so no nights of passion and candle lits dinners etc, just action and character building. However, you shouldn't take my word for it, watch it and make your own mind up.
