Watch Legend of the Red Dragon For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I caught this one under the title LEGEND OF THE RED DRAGON. Unfortunately it was the dubbed English version so I had to do my best to ignore the stupid American accents. This one's a wuxia fable chronicling the antics of some youthful Shaolin children who fight back against overwhelming odds. Stacked against them is a terrible human monster and the troops of a cruel general with murder in mind. Luckily, they have a career-peak Jet Li helping them out too.This film is co-directed by Wong Jing and Corey Yuen, so it has all of the madcap comedy and plentiful action sequences you'd expect. The action is very much wire work assisted and fantasy-tinged, but I enjoyed it regardless, and the cinematography is fun and over the top in that best 1990s Hong Kong tradition. Li only has a supporting role here, but there are fun turns from Chingamy Yau (with a meaty, comedic character) and the great former Shaw Brothers villain Johnny Wang Lung Wei doing what he does best.

Opening with some sort of battle in front of a fire with a small child and a large knife, New Legend of Shaolin seems to have only one parallel to the old legends: the complete and utter strangeness of the movie. In order to compensate for the plot, or maybe attempt to add some humorous elements, the director decides to have his actors tattoo some dwarf-like children, eat some chicken ass, fight a poisonous juice man who lives in a chrome armadillo, and watch Jet Li for a little bit. Definitely one of the most comical Shaolin movies I've seen, and it has the added benefit of being able to be ridiculed non-stop, as all dialogue is subtitled and all plot is nonsensical. ONLY watch this if you are an obscenely obsessed Jet Li fan or a pro at MST3K style commentary.

I would classify this as a great action movie for kids that enjoy kung fu like dragonball Z. It is not realistic. It is very much like the movie equivalent of reading a comic book and if you suspend you disbelief and enjoy the movie for what it is, a chop suey kung fu flick.. then it is worth watching. There are 6 kids doing fantasy shaolin in this movie and that is bound to make the kids enjoy the movie more than anyone else. This is not a ground breaking film on any level, including the fight scenes, script and special effects. It is so bad it is entertaining to watch, once you understand it is a typical comic book style kung fu, complete with silly villian and kicks that defy gravity completely. Jet Li's other movies such as Kiss of The Dragon, Black Mask, his cameo in lethal weapon 4, and "The One".. they are much larger budget so have much more to offer. In any case, Jet Li has brought a lot to the arena of martial arts entertainment and I applaud that.

This movie is great. Corey Yuen did an excellent job. The fights were amazing. The story and the humour were bad. But enjoy the great fight scenes. This movie is far better than romeo must die or The One. Buy it or rent it or steal it because every martial arts movie fan should see this movie. 9/10
