Pros: great performances, good attention to storyline and details
Cons: a bit hard to watch for its gory scenes of set-up
Kiss of the Dragon is a revenge plot with a mean twist - or two. Liu Jian (Jet Li) is a Chinese detective, in Paris to catch a Chinese drug lord and his "French connection." He enlists the help of Richard (Tcheky Karyo), the head of the vice squad - a ...

Pros: You've got to be a die hard Jet Li fan!
Cons: Negative stereotype of women, plot is old and unimaginative.
The movie, “Kiss the Dragon” was directed by Chris Nohan and released today Friday, July 6, 2001. I’ve always been a huge fan of martial art movies, and after seeing Jet Li’s fancy karate moves on the trailers for this film I desperately wanted to make...

Pros: Jet, Fonda, some seriously wicked action.
Cons: none for an action film.
Kiss Of The Dragon is the most hard-core, take no guff, ask no questions action film of the year. This film is tough, literally. One thing this summer has been lacking is the old ultra-violence, well baby not anymore. Sometimes you watch...

Pros: Surprisingly good performances; crisp and slick action scenes; sharp and exciting pace.
Cons: Stereotypical characters and some plot holes.
Looking for the quintessential mindless action blockbuster? Look no further, for Kiss of the Dragon is the thriller which will satisfy your appetite for thrills. Kiss of the Dragon is basically the whole enchilada: it is a film loaded...

Pros: Awesome action. Beautiful cinematography. Jet Li kicks butt.
Cons: Some tired plot points.
Preamble:
I just realized that I tend to review a lot of movies. Even Bonaire has kindly noted that this is something that I enjoy doing at epinions, though I am not by any stretch of the imagination a truly great reviewer....

Pros: Excellent fight sequences
Cons: Bridget Fonda seems miscast in her role
After watching the opening scenes of Kiss of the Dragon, I exclaimed, "Jet Li can act... Who knew?" By the end of the movie, I ...

Pros: Good action scenes.
Cons: Laughable overuse of Acupuncture.
This is actually one of the better martial arts films that I've seen in a while. I was very impressed with Jet Li the first time I saw him, which was in "Lethal Weapon 4". I loved the way he moved and fought, and I am glad he has started to get some...

Pros: Fabulous cinematography; well-done action scenes in a generic scenario. Good entertainment.
Cons: Kiss a Decent Plot Goodbye...
Within the Summer of Lowered Standards 2001 comes Jet Li's token contribution to the fray, Kiss Of The Dragon, a film that does very little in defying this summer's Bond-esque mantra, "More Is Never Enough." Hoping to play on the Martial...

Pros: Jet Li delivers some outstanding martial art skills
Cons: script, shallow characters
Luc Besson is like a French version of John Woo, a very good action director. In Kiss of the Dragon, he produces and it shows. KOD hops from one incredible action sequence to another with little time to breathe. This is a popcorn movie if there ever was...

Pros: The speed and power of the fight scenes
Cons: The story
This review will not look at Kiss of the Dragon so much as an individual work, but rather as part of the process by which its star and co-screenwriter, Jet Li, has undertaken to try to gain a foothold in the US market. The movie is his third effort to...

Pros: Lovely French scenery, the underated Burt Kwouk? That's about it.
Cons: Everything else, uncharismatic hero, stupid villain, cardboard stooges...
Before the movie we saw an advert for Jet Li's next film, 'The One', now that looks like a good movie. Unfortunately for us we had to sit through 'Kiss of the Dragon' instead.
Supercop Liu Jian (Jet li) comes to Paris to help resident cop...

Pros: great martial arts sequences; Jet Li rocks
Cons: Bridget Fonda attempts to "emote"
Jet Li has been a martial arts movie star in China for years now, but only recently has he made an appearance in American films. You may remember him as the villian from Lethal Weapon 4 or perhaps you saw him in Romeo Must Die (you may have...

Pros: Jet Li's fight sequence without CGI nor wires
Cons: Bad acting, contrived plot, and new director
Not everyone will agree that Jet Li has made smart moves in his career choices for the US market. For one, he rejected the opportunity to star in the sequels of Matrix, in order to be the leading man in Joel Silver's "Romeo Must Die." Second, he chose...

by Diversity646 , Jul 09 '01
Pros: Well woven action tale where martial arts support the story
Cons: Take away the martial arts and this is just a run-of-the-mill adventure
I love a good action adventure. I like watching bad guys who really are bad guys getting their butts handed to them on a silver platter by a guy who may not talk English very well, but is a good guy through and through.
Which is why I very...

Pros: It's a great kung-fu movie.
Cons: Like I said, it's a Kung-Fu movie. Stay away if that bugs you.
Ever since the first time I saw Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master" at 5, i've loved kung-fu movies. I watched every one I could get my hands on. I read a book about martial arts techniques. I even went so far as to attend a martial arts class. I was...
