Synopsis

The writers of THE FIFTH ELEMENT, Luc Besson (who also directed the Bruce Willis film) and Robert Mark Kamen, have teamed up again to deliver Jet Li in the action thriller KISS OF THE DRAGON. Li stars as Liu Jiuan, a Chinese agent so dedicated to his job that he has no friends, no family, no dreams. He is sent to Paris to help the French police capture a Chinese gangster, but France's top cop, Jeanne-Pierre Richard (Tcheky Karyo), has set Liu up to take the fall for a brutal killing he himself carried out. On the run in a strange city, Liu keeps a low profile until he unwillingly becomes friends with an American hooker, Jessica (Bridget Fonda)--who just happens to hold the key to his innocence. But Richard is always one step ahead of them--he has Jessica's daughter. Li and Fonda make a great team; their relationship is at the core of the film, as neither character has ever been able to put his complete trust in another person before. The action scenes, directed by Corey Yuen, are fast and furious and very violent, featuring mesmerizing moves by Li, especially one involving a billiard ball. Chris Nahon, in his directorial debut, makes excellent use of the location, including numerous shots of famous Parisian landmarks as the bad cops try to machine-gun down Liu in the streets and sewers and on the Seine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jet Li - Kick of the Dragon, 27 Jul 2009
By M. A. Bennett (Wiltshire,England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having read a few negative comments on US review sites regarding transfer quality of this blu ray title I decided to buy it anyway as it was very cheap on amazon's 3 for 2 offer.

Either the US release is a different transfer or the reviewers do not know what they are talking about. This looks and sounds great!
You have to bear in mind some films have a certain look,(lighting,filming techniques,film stock,post processing etc.) and will not always look as good as Mamma Mia or Die Hard 4.0.

It annoys me when I read 'not much better than upscaled dvd', as it clearly shows the level of understanding the viewer has of high definition and video display equipment in general.
I always make a dvd/bd comparison on many different scenes and even different days, and here find once again that the blu ray clearly outshines the dvd, with no visible flaws present.

O.K. it is what it is, a formulaic Jet Li vehicle pitting him up against a corrupt police department boss, played by Tcheky Karyo from Nikita [Blu-ray] [1990.
It also has some most impressive fight sequences early on in, you guessed it, a large restaurant kitchen, (the Luc Besson touch shows!).

The (uninspired) extras are pared down from the original dvd, although I feel the upgrade to 1080p/DTS-MA outweighs that.

Not a classic like Leon: The Professional [DVD] [1995] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] but still a fun film taken on it's own terms.
This is all reflected in the 4 star rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kiss of the Dragon, 29 Oct 2009
By E. Jagerman "Evert" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Kiss of the dragon is one of the best movies in which Jet Li appears. Beside the fact that his martial arts are top nodge it is also a movie with a story. The story takes place in Paris. It is nice to see Jet Li operate in the context of that city. The scenes in the hotel and on the boat are extraordinary. The specific scene with the billiard ball is a must see for every martial arts fan.
THe Kiss of the Dragon can also be seen in other films. Kill Bill 2 uses the same theme in the end.
What I didnot like about the blue ray was the fact that it didnot have dutch subtitles included.
Why don't we put the whole range of European Languages on the DVD. Perhaps the European Commission must state that all possible documents should be seen or read by every citizin :-)
