To ensure this was the most definitive release, all the work done to the previous Blu-ray, such as the multiple versions of the film, are all included on the 4K Ultra HD disc. Regardless of which version you choose, it’s a mostly satisfying viewing experience, and it’s the best the film has ever looked on home video.

Dragons Forever is jam-packed with fights that you’ll never forget, like the final match between Jackie and Benny “The Jet” Urquidez where you can literally hear real bones breaking as they kick, punch and throw each other across an evil laboratory.

The picture and sound have never been better and the special features package is worth every second it gives you. Vampire [1985], and Yes, Madam [1985]), the logistics of writing so many movies per year, Hung’s generosity, and writing Dragons Forever , in particular. The result is a film that works as well as a romance as it does as an action vehicle without the sort of danger and peril faced by Chan in his normal comedic entire.

It’s absolutely packed with information about the film and those who created it, also highlighting the additional scenes and offering some criticism. Also included is a set of Behind the Scenes Footage and Outtakes (an essential for a Jackie Chan film), and a Music Video in either English or Cantonese for the theme song When We Touch, sung by Anita Mui and Jackie Chan.Sammo Hung (洪金寶), born in British Hong Kong in 1952, is a well-known director and actor for a lot of films released in China and Hong Kong. Hung and Biao fling each other across the room and bicker like school children, and Jackie’s attempts to cover up their nonsense result in nonstop laughs. It has the 4K transfer that was used for this release while having all of the bells and whistles minus two interviews and a commentary track. There’s a more screwball antics here with slapstick occurring but not as much as there is the sort of upstairs-downstairs complications that occur.

For the purposes of this review, I watched the Japanese version, as the most complete version in this set. You have to wade through some unpleasant, overbearing courtship sequences to get to them, but there are some genuinely funny jokes, too – and I say this as someone who isn’t always susceptible to the ‘80s Hong Kong brand of comedy. I am leaning towards the Japanese version as it seems to have more scenes that what feature in the HK and the English version (as the English version has extra scenes also but it cuts some stuff from the HK version, whereas the JPN version has them all I think).

The trio of Hong Kong martial arts legends in Dragons Forever may have been each other’s greatest supporters in their respective careers, with Yuen Biao frequently cameoing in movies that had Jackie Chan in the lead and Sammo Hung producing movies that had Yuen Biao in the lead.

He hires Biao to place a bug in the home of the woman bringing the case, but Biao is unhinged and paranoid. They’re soon backed into a corner, forced to try and stop Hua and his men, but also win the case against them. The sound is upgraded to a Dolby Atmos track for the Hong Kong cut, but I do not have a Dolby Atmos setup so I can’t review this new track.
