Dam!!..now that was an great movie but all martial movies are ...Now i know what RES.DOG was talking about when he said that crook got the "kiss" man he got his eh?...You forgot to tell me about the big black guy what a bod!!!..
Shame he was bad guy...the whole story line was good but then i wouldnt expect any less with Jet Li in it...Certainly action packed and Bridet Fonda wasnt bad...I love the scene when he walked in on the martail arts class he sure laid them all out..I was just about peeing myself ..(whoops)..it was so funny..So if no one has seen it you have to get it..i will give it 9/10 no movie gets an 10 from me even stevens..rock on Jet Li...

Ye Kiss Of The Dragon is a great movie, I'd call it Jet's best so far out of all the movies he released in America. I also would call it one of the best modern Martial Art movies since 2000.

I love the fact that he used little wires on this movie, talented martial artists like him Jackie and Seagal don't need the wires, Van Damme needs them. :p

The wire influence...

Kung-fu's immense artistic potential influenced wire-fu ... Steven Seagal wouldn't need wires since his main specialty is aikido (there's just no use for wires for an aikidoka, but now Steven Seagal decided to broaden his horizons in movie making...) ... Van Damme studied karate and he kickboxes alot and that unique style he presents in the movies doesn't require him to use wires (it just wouldn't look right). I think wires are good when they're used in a tasteful and artsy way (i.e. KOD and Crouching Tiger... but not like in OFAK). It's an art ... that's why they call it wire-fu.

Kiss of the Dragon!

Good flick. I remember liking Romeo Must Die a little better, althought I dont even remember it that well. Jet Li is a cool guy. I like his style and he is a pretty believable actor. His problem, the same problem Seagal ran into, is that he made too many similar and formulaic movies. I mean seriously, they all have a great story, but it is almost the same one. Now that new "Hero" movie, that is looking good!!!!

Yeah well it's their image...

... Like Jackie Chan with his action comedy. Even back in the day of the Drunken Master when Jackie was shooting traditional style martial arts films, he still used plenty of comedy. It's their trademarks. People recognize actors that way. It's a good thing I think.

Also, Res.Dog, Jet has a new drama movie with Morgan Freedman coming out called "Danny The Dog." I don't know how good it's going to be, but it's for sure very different from ANYTHING that Jet Li has ever done ... too much drama.

I liked the Matrix! Everything about it actually!

... but I do enjoy Jackie's (and ofcourse Seagal's ... that goes without question) movies better.

The only scene that used wires was the pool table scene, other than that the action was totally amazing.

Not only was the boxing fight scene pretty spectacular but also the double teaming twins was too fast to furious.

Deffenetly Jet's best Holloywood movie but Unleashed should be the best from what all the hardcore Jet Li fans has said so far ;) :cool:

We will see about Unleashed. The fight scenes look so hard core. Kiss of the Dragon was indeed Jet's best Hollywood film. The fight scene when Jet defeated all those Karate guys in the training dojo was spectacular. That was a fantastic movie indeed!
