Heart of a Dragon is a unique film but not everyone is going to like it.
Sammo Hung directs Jackie Chan in this interesting drama. Sammo plays Jackie's retarded brother and Jackie's character wants to do his own thing but he is always being held back because he has to take care of his brother. There is no action in this film until the end. The finale is the typical excellent 80's HK action scene but what makes it different is we see Jackie Chan getting uncharacteristically violent.
There are some different versions of this film out there but the one I saw is the DVD released by 20th Century Fox. They remastered it and gave it a beautiful treatment. The picture and audio are terrific. I recommend this DVD if you are going to see this film.
If you want nothing but action you may want to skip Heart of a Dragon but if you want to see Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung doing something very different you may want to give it a look.
Here is music video for Heart of a Dragon.
