The Dragon from Russia (1990)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
This dragon breathes a little flame every 10 minutes or so. The first half of the picture is spent on "training", which reminded me of a watered-down and unfunny "Drunken Master". Then the film switches gears, and suddenly blood starts spraying. Some of the action direction and fights are nice, but emotionally, the film has no punch whatsoever. Too bad, because Maggie would have been perfect for the part. I wonder what happened to the American version...

(4/10)
