Overview: Hotshot lawyer Jackie Lung (Jackie Chan, Rush Hour, Police Story) is hired to defend the owner of a factory which, unbeknownst to him, is the center of a clandestine narcotics syndicate. He enlists resourceful acquaintances Wong Fei-Hung (Sammo Hung, Enter The Dragon) and Dung Dak-Biu (Yuen Biao, Once Upon a Time in China) to assist in the case, but loyalties begin to falter when romance blossoms between both sides.

Blu-ray Verdict: This was the next step up for Jackie Chan movies from the Police Story saga where his actions and comedic touch goes up a notch.

Criminal factory owner is polluting the water and fish farm downstream is getting affected. The fish farm owner (Diannie Yip) decides to sue the factory. Jackie (Jackie Chan) who�s the lawyer for the factory hires Luke (Sammo Hung) to seduce the owner of the fish farm so he could convince her to sell the farm.

The fish farm owner has a cousin Jenny (Pauline Yueng) who Jackie is wooing. The problem is Jenny is the chief witness for the fish farm owner. Jackie decides to go under the wire and hires Biao (Yuen Biao) to put hidden microphone in Jenny and her cousin�s house.

Luke rents the house next to the fish farm owner�s house, and listens in on the conversation next door. He hears that the owner is looking for love, so he decides to make the move. All of these smoke and mirror moves by Jackie ends up in real love for him, and Luke. He decides to get off the case, and side with the fish farm owner.

Reuniting the Peking Opera Brothers Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung, in the same movie since Wheels on Meals, trust me when I say that all of them are incredible performers. The film also has a young Fruit Chan (Made In Hong Kong, Three Extremes) co-directing some scenes.

The joy for me is watching each actor trying to outdo each. There�s some incredibly hard falls taken as well as stuntmen being thrown through sugar glass windows. The fights with all three leads show how good their timing and athleticism is. Credit also goes to hard kicking Benny Urquidez and excellent stuntman Yuen Wah who uses a cigar as a prop!

Indeed, the timing of action combined with comedy is a notch or two higher in this movie compared to all of Jackie�s previous movies, and sets a new standard that continues on to future Jackie Chan movies.

In short, Dragons Forever features unbelievable action by the trio is guaranteed to entertain the viewer and thus is, in my humble opinion, one of the best Jackie Chan movie from the �80s. And given that it is now presented on a glorious 4K remastered presentation, well, it�s never looked better!
