The Dragon Fighter

About This Movie

The Dragon Fighter is one of those curious gems from the 90s that feels like a mix of gritty street action and a strange camaraderie. The pacing has this odd rhythm, sometimes lurching forward with bursts of energy as Alex Man teams up with a policewoman and a samurai. What stands out are the practical effects—there’s a certain rawness to the fight scenes that has its charm. Sure, the plot’s a bit of a ride, but it’s more about the journey of revenge and redemption, which gives it that classic vibe. The performances, particularly from Alex, inject a sort of visceral urgency into his quest against the Dragon Head. It’s not flawless, but there’s an appeal in its rough edges that collectors often appreciate.
