Customer Reviews of Dragon Inn
The Infamous "Dragon Inn" Brigitte Lin is in her usual spectacular role as a kung fu master along with Tony Leung Ka-Fai ("Island Of Fire"). Lin is truly a great actress with "Police Story", "The Bride With White Hair", "The Bride With White Hair 2", and "Swordsman 2" to name a few impressive titles. She really is quite a martial artist on screen. She's very graceful and has a strong presence as a leading role. The amazing Donnie Yen ("Iron Monkey") is also in this film, though he's only at the beginning and end of the movie, he made his scenes effective. The last fight scene with Yen agains Lin, Leung, and Maggie Cheung ("Supercop") in the desert is quite outstanding. So venture into the desert and rest your head in the dragon inn, but beware...you might not last the night.
Amusing, exciting and entertaining
This film has all the trappings one usually finds in a movie associated with Tsui Hark. High-flying wire acrobatics, flambouyant costumes, wigs and sets, incredible choreography, and lavish cinamatography. Oh yes, let's not forget a star-studded cast, including Bridgette Lin, Maggie Cheung and Donnie Yan.
If you enjoy classics such as "The Bride with White Hair", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "Once Upon a Time in China", you'll love this one. The performances of Bridgette Lin and Maggie Cheung are terrific and very entertaining. However, if you don't like a lot of overblown, fantastic storytelling, (for example, Bridgette Lin flying down a 100 foot cliff face and running across a line of archers, using their arms as stepping stones) you'll probably just think this movie is silly.
The story is intriguing, the directing is good, and there are less bizarre and inexplical events than in similar films. The unnecessarily campy final fight scene, however, is the only blemish on an otherwise excellent story.
If you don't think it's the greatest movie of all time, you'll at least come away with a couple hours of good fun entertainment.
Excellent, Brigitte Lin the star
When I first read the reviews online, I couldn't wait for the last fighting scene. But the last fighting scene was no where near as good as Brigitte Lin's fighting scene at or near the beginning.
She was fantastic, and made the movie a must see. This movie has a great story, solid ending, and lovable charcters. (Like the little guy who was the cook). Where do you learn to cook human meat? Especially in the middle of the desert.
I can't give it 5 stars, because its not as good as Musa in my opinion. Its as good as Once Upon a Time in China, maybe a little better.
But again, a must see movie, Brigitte Lin takes the show from the All Star cast. This is a movie I recommend buying (I did), as it makes a great movie in anyones collection.
