See more Allan C @RT15713161 Aug 3, 2024 Jet Li’s best English language film, which was actually a French production, is a lot better than I remember. My main takeaways from this rewatch were that one, the fight scenes are just as good as Li and Corey Yuen’s Hong Kong output, and, two, I really miss seeing Bridget Fonda in stuff. Below is my review from the last time I watched.  Kiss of the Dragon (2001) **** This film was released to pretty dreadful reviews, but I always felt it was Jet Li’s best English-language film. “Romeo is Bleeding” is also quite good, but Li has a story credit on this one and the script was written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, the schlocky team behind enjoyably cartoony action films like the Transporter and Taken franchises. Both of those series are entertaining semi-serious action/revenge nonsense, and that is pretty much what “Kiss of the Dragon” is as well. Li plays a Chinese police officer going to Paris to arrest a Chinese drug lord but finds himself framed by dirty French cops. Li goes on the run, but with help from prostitute Bridget Fonda, to crack the drug ring. The story isn’t all that great, like most Besson pictures (“Leon” being the main exception), but the action is terrific (Li’s regular collaborator Corey Yuen was the martial arts choreographer on this film). Besides Li being an amazing martial artist, which is the main reason to watch this film, Fonda is quite good in what is her second to last theatrical film performance before retiring from acting. This movie made me miss her. Fonda was never Meryl Steep, but she was always very likable and genuine in her films, whether it was a silly action flick like “Point of No Return,” a rom-com like “It  Could Happen to You,” or an indie like “Scandal,” she was always good. Besides Fonda, you also have the reliably good Ric Young as the slimy drug lord and Burt “Cato from The Pink Panther” Kwouk in a small role. As with most Besson productions, this is slickly made if empty-headed entertainment, but Li (with aid from Corey Yuen) and a good performance by Fonda, manage to elevate this above Besson’s usual output.   See more Munkhjargal A @RT28084692 Jul 25, 2024 Jetley's movie is really interesting. Although it is about a mysterious police case, it is a movie that can tell a little about the life of Asian people. It was a really interesting movie that attracted people's attention See more Read all reviews
