Description: DRAGON TIGER GATEDragon Tiger Gate is sheer Hong Kongfantasy martial arts indulgence. Notevery movie in this genre makes thegrade though. Feng Yun (Stormriders)was probably the pioneer with itsfusion of fantasy martial arts movesand special effects, but while itproved successful at the box office,purist condemned (don’t theyalways)the storyline for bastardizingand summarizing its rich pulp historybeyond recognition. It’s tough toextract the essence into a 90 minutemovie, and others like Zhong Hua YingXiong (A Man Called Hero) failedmiserably, even with its effects whichturned out laughable.The effects in Dragon Tiger Gate hasshown a lot of improvement where HongKong movies are concerned, withdigitized landscapes blendingperfectly in scenes. The fights wereeffectively enhanced with plenty ofCG, as well as good old reliablewirework. But nothing beats havingwell choreographed fist fights (byDonnie Yen) or just unadulteratedmartial arts showcase of skills suchas the use of the nunchakus. Jazzed upwith a Japanese influenced soundtrack,the action bits are the highlight ofthe movie.Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse playbrothers Dragon and Tiger (in Chinesemythology, this combination is veryfierce, OK?) and together with theirfriend Black Dragon (Shawn Yue), theymake good commercial role models forhair gel. OK, so I can’t help it butto poke some fun at their long hair inthe movie, providing ample opportunityfor the use of what I call the hair-dryer effect – Strike a killer pose,cue strong wind to blow their hairfrom their face.Tiger belongs to an aged old martialarts school known as Dragon TigerGate, while Dragon, separated fromTiger when young, gets involved withtriads work, against his principles.Black Dragon on the other hand, is abraggart who became humbled when hevisits Dragon Tiger Gate to learn newskills. Together, they go up against aJapanese secret society headed by aformidableUNCUT 111 MINSENGLISH, SPANISH LANGUAGE
