Heart of the Dragon (1985)

Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan roll the dice with the tried and true mental retardation formula with surprisingly satisfactory results.

Hung, who also directs, portrays a 31-year-old with the mind of a small child who’s ever suffering younger brother (Chan) acts as his caretaker.

Screen writer Barry Wong, whose previous credits include scripts for the first two installments of the popular "Lucky Stars" ensemble action comedies, wisely shuns the very screwball humor and elaborate action sequences that lent to their popularity.

That being said, Hung regularly gives himself a comedic license that occasionally just spins out of control.

Still, audiences should enjoy Chan having his way with a construction site finale after being forced to appear on screen as an actor for more than five minutes perhaps for the first time in his career.
