Exciting Dragon

About This Movie

Exciting Dragon is one of those curious blends of action, comedy, and fantasy that leans hard into its zany premise. The pacing is a bit all over the place, which somehow adds to its charm, making it feel like a rollercoaster you didn’t quite sign up for. The three villains are delightfully over-the-top, and their pursuit of the Seven Star Armor leads to some surprisingly creative practical effects, especially for the era. There’s a real playful tone throughout, with moments that aim for humor but sometimes land in that awkwardly earnest territory. The performances vary, but there's a certain enthusiasm that keeps it engaging. It’s definitely distinctive, a snapshot of mid-80s filmmaking that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
