No monetary compensation was received for the movie review.“However, this head is equivalent to a level one corpse of an eternal Lord!” *Disclosure: Invitation from Shaw Organisation. Invincible Dragon (九龙不败) is out in cinemas on 20 June 2019. She had to control her breathing and not laugh out loud to prevent the skin from dropping. There was a scene where a nail got very near the eye-ball, for realism, Zhang Jin requested for real nails to do the close-up filming.Īnnie Liu (刘心悠) who acted as a Psychologist who had breast cancer before, had to use “popiah” (aka spring roll) skin to wrap and cover her chests. ![]() He once hit a pillar until the structure nearly collapse. He could not wear clothes due to the special effects makeup, hence he had to keep working out to keep warm.Īnderson Silva often got too engrossed in the action sequences and damaged a lot of the filming scenes. In the final fight scene, Zhang Jin had to wait in the cold weather from 5pm till the next day 7am with blood (syrup) and glass bits makeup on his body before the filming start. The tattoo on Zhang Jin required near 2 hours to apply and remove, and it was often damaged due to the intensive fight scene as well as the abrasion from the t-shirt. Tl dr An action film where characters are good/bad for the sake of plot movement, where action scenes are done because it needs to be called an action film, and the plot was so awkward that it made the actors’ performance underwhelming. However, the director spoilt it when a special effect dragon really appeared at the end, making this film more ridiculous than ever. A main who tattooed a nine-headed dragon onto his body after seeing one when he was young, believing that this dragon will helped protect him. To give some credit, the main character Kowloon has a very interesting character premise. The performances were very much exaggerated and there were plenty of plot-holes in story. It was very obvious who was the criminal from the start, hence it lacked the mysterious and crime-solving excitement one would like while watching a classic Hong Kong police-thief movie. I was hoping there will be some sort of character arch or twist, but I was disappointed. The film started out pretty ok, where the characters’ personalities are very obvious. It’s gonna be quite a ramble, so pardon me. Sad to say, this is as good as Donnie Yen’s Iceman 2, ok, it’s an exaggeration, but it’s no better. We were rather disappointed with the 2 films, and still wish to keep our fingers crossed for Invincible Dragon. Yes, we started noticing him in Ip Man 3 as Cheung Tin-chi, and later on in The Brink and Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy. We both felt that he is an actor who was very much under-appreciated and it’s time that he got noticed. ![]() But thanks to the Circuit Breaker in Singapore, I decided to return to all my draft articles and complete them so that I can clear my “debts”īoth Peps and I had very high expectation because it’s a film starring Zhang Jin. This was a review that I nearly gave up writing. He got himself into fights with a Macau detective (Kevin Cheng), as well as an American army veteran, Alexander (Anderson Silva), who has a secret relation to Kowloon’s background… Invincible Dragon (九龙不败) Viewer Rating: 1.5/5 * Invincible Dragon (九龙不败) Movie Review: However, his impulsive personality caused him endless troubles. ![]() Once upon a time, an undercover agent with a dragon tattoo, Kowloon (Max Zhang), continually helped the police to solve mysterious cases, and he was known as a rising star.
