Let's face it: No one is usually checking a Jet Li movie for the verbal sparring. In Kiss of the Dragon, Chinese undercover agent Li chops his way through Paris after he's framed in some sketchily defined drug sting operation. The fight sequences are tough and quite brutal, and the over-the-top finale is arguably worth the price of admission, wherein an implacable Li takes on the entire Paris Police Bureau, working his way up toward police chief Tchéky Karyo's office through cops, a pair of peroxide-blond twin henchmen, and a whole class of kung fu cadets. Co-screenwriter Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita) should know by now what makes for a nifty genre piece, but the woeful dialogue is a shame, and there aren't nearly enough action sequences to get your blood boiling. Poor Bridget Fonda gives it the old school try in a thankless role as an ex-junkie prostitute from the Midwest whose young daughter is being held captive by duplicitous police chief/drug lord/pimp Karyo (who fairly inhales the scenery). Director Chris Nolan might have pushed further the strangers-in-a-strange-land camaraderie between Li and Fonda, but the script still would've sunk him. --Steve Wiecking

last decent movie. By that, I mean this one had only two scenes of 'wire-fu'.
AVS blu-ray tier forum has this correctly listed as a decent disc with OK PQ/AQ. Blu-ray .com was a little more harsh - i thought unjustifiably.
If you like Jet Li, this is a great disc to own.

Jet Li is probably the best martial artist/actor around.
i like the movie with good action fight scenes.

This is my first Jet Li production [it was on TV sinfully edited, I couldn't watch it] and I am REALLY impressed !!! The ENERGY Jet Li put into this character is AWESOME !!! When it gets going ,,, you lose your breathe ,,, and start "praying" for him to find some solace [and give me a break] !!! Un-Believable !!!
I have purchased all of Steven Seagal AND I am definitely going to add "Jet Li" to my martial arts collection of "the little guy in our fight against government corruption" !!! This ... Read More

Up to this film, I found most of these Hong Kong martial-arts films to be packed with action and most feature either a little humor (Jackie Chan) or beautiful scenery ("Hero," etc.) or wild special effects ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and more).....but this one features a mean edge.
I guess I'm not used to seeing Asian films with a lot of profanity (mainly f-words) or bloody scenes almost to the point of being gross, which one scene was in here. Yet: don't misunderstand: I liked ... Read More

Kiss of the Dragon is not Jet Li's best by any stretch, but still a fun movie especially for fans of Jet, and perhaps more so for action fans than for hard core martial arts fan (of which I'm one). So while this film is no Fearless or Fist of Legend, they do not lend a fair comparison as they are not the same type of movie. Where I would consider the aforementioned as 'martial arts films,' this is more of an action film. The difference being simply an action film relies on more than just martial arts, ... Read More
