The pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to the tension as our protagonist navigates through a web of corruption and betrayal. The practical effects are surprisingly effective for its time, particularly in the action sequences which have a raw energy.

The themes of justice and survival resonate throughout, making it a compelling watch for those interested in the genre's evolution.

Chinese Dragon has had a somewhat sporadic release history, primarily seen on VHS and a few rare DVD editions, which makes it quite scarce in collectors’ circles.
