The undercover agent with dragon tattoo Kowloon continually helped the police to solve mysterious cases, which made him known as a rising star. However, his impulsive personality dragged him into endless troubles.
I was able to catch Invincible Dragon on my flight to Hong Kong recently and well - let's just say on my DVD shopping spree in Kowloon, I hadn't the slightest urge to buy this one for my collection!
That collection by the way, which is a strong 4,000 movies consisting mainly of HK cinema, which probably contains nothing (if very few) like what I witnessed when watching this film...
I can't even say, if this was made in the 80s it would work - it's not even just the insanity of the story that makes this a WTF movie - it's the script, the acting, the dodgy CG, and using Silva as a bad guy, and well, I guess the direction too!
Celebrated director Fruit Chan's first foray into action cinema is quite simply not a great one. It's not even a good one! I does have the odd entertaining moment or three, but that's far from enough to make up for the mess woven throughout it.
It's quite unfortunate really.
I was really hoping this would be a real return to what's been missing from HK cinema the last 20 years... but no.
Give it a go. You may find it entertaining, or like myself, you may just be left asking yourself 'what the actual did I just watch?'
