Dragon Tiger Gate (2006)

Comics.

For people who read comic books, you'll love this movie. Filled with great fighting sequences, this movie is lacking any plot really. As the title reveals no plot either, this is a beat 'em up movie. There are some noteworthy, bordering on legendary actors in this movie, has English 5.1 version, excellent presentation. As I said, it lacks any good story or plot. Also it is not real martial arts, but computer animation sequences mostly. Not a bad movie for fans, otherwise not too memorable for martial arts lovers. June 24, 2008

Awesome Fight Scenes

I was a great Dragon Tiger Gate comic fan during my childhood days (in the 70s). You will appreciate the movie more if you're familiar with such comic. Since this is a comic adaption, I didn't have high expectation but surprisingly the actions are good!

Fans of the comic will recognize the fighting style such as "Golden Mask" & "Electric Dragon Drill" in the movie. The CGI is done nicely & I love the effect (except the ending part). Donnie Yen's fans will not be disappointed. Great energetic moves! Nicholas Tse carrying the role of Tiger Wong quite well.

1-star off due to the PQ which isn't a big difference than the SD edition. However as for the audio, it offers both the lossless DTS-HD MA 7.1 & TrueHD 7.1! I feel the ending part where Dragon finishes off Shabumi from the falling tower is too "exaggerated"...well, perhaps this is a movie not to be taken seriously, forget about any good story line, etc thus you will be able to enjoy it. Give it a try! June 9, 2008

Dragon Tiger Gate

Dragon Tiger Gate is based on a martial arts comic book of the same title popular in the seventies and eighties.

I rate this movie at one star as it might be of interest to fans of Donnie Yuen and/or fans of martial arts. If you are neither, then steer well clear. Dragon Tiger Gate just has all the bad parts of Hong Kong Cinema including a script so bad that it ruins the whole endeavour. June 7, 2008
