Thoughts on Dragon Lee

[WongFury]

after watching champ against champ i was entertained both good and unintentional comedic way buy this man, i do like that movie to where he goes to beat everyone up till the end, are there anymore films he's done that are any good, ones i was curious about are Dragon the young Master and Dynamite Trio and Ways of Kung Fu are theses good?

[ironfistedmonk]

He's not in Dynamite Trio as far as I remember? Ways of Kung Fu was OKish, I'm not a big fan of clone movies in general and Dragon Lee is not one of my favourite actors ;)

Martial Monks of Shaolin Temple and Dragons Snake Fist are watchable

Hi.

Five Pattern Dragon Claws is excellent IMO, ........

[The Dragon]

He sucks.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Check out Kung Fu Fever. I was surprised by how good Dragon was in that.

[ASIAN FURY]

Also ckeck out Mission For The Dragon and Secret Ninja, Roaring Tiger. They're very good, although I'm not a Dragon Lee fan.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

That final fight in Secret Ninja Roaring Tiger is pretty awesome.

[WongFury]

wow sounds like alot of people arent to fond of him :D thanks guys

[Morgoth Bauglir]

I think we would talk about Dragon Lee differently if he worked with better choreographers.

[The Dragon]

I think we would talk about Dragon Lee differently if he worked with better choreographers.

...and if he weren't such an over-acting, hyped, rip-off of the real deal!
:mad:

wow sounds like alot of people arent to fond of him

He sucks, basically.
Yeah.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Yes working with beter directors certainly would have helped too. Too bad he always had to imitate Bruce.

[WongFury]

well the stuff he's done in the 90's isn't that bad, in some of the Korean films he's made. those had better choreography, without him acting like Bruce Lee fused with the donkey kong from what ive seen in some clips online, he looks better in the more recent ones to those, hasn't he done something more recent like a korean tv show?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

He does seem like he would be better doing modern day action.

[PS3sixty]

I saw him in Dragon Lee vs. the Five Brothers and it wasn't bad. I liked seeing his kicks.

[Chinatown Kid]

Ive got him and Casanova Wong in the 90's Korean film Blues of Chongro and they both display some fine kicks and boxing style punches in it. For his oldschool stuff, The Dragon's Snakefist isn't too bad.

[SlothStyleKungFu]

He's really not that good, but he's got that weird, so-bad-he's-good quality. You know, kinda' like Miles O'Keefe or Reb Brown. Seemingly he had the looks to be a good star but was mostly kinda' lame, despite really trying, in some mostly subpar flicks.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Here's a nice modern Dragon Lee clip that rdenn posted awhile back. Anyone know the title?

[thundered mantis]

Mmm, Nationwide Constituency, perhaps?

[Chinatown Kid]

I used to have a modern Korean movie Dragon Lee was in and he fought HJL in the finale but can't remember the name, it had some pretty good fights.

[WongFury]

i think thats the one i just watched, emperor of the underworld.

[HyperDrive]

Dragon Lee is one of the better actors to come out of the Bruceploitation craze. Can't really blame him for taking that name either.
