OTHER THAN THAT, THIS MOVIE IS JUST AWEFUL/AND PAINFUL TO WATCH. THE 1ST FEW MINUTES WERE OK WHERE THEY INTRODUCED THE MAIN CHARACTERS W/ FLASHBACKS, BUT THEN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MOVIE AND DURING THE FIGHT SCENES, THEY KEPT ON SHOWING THE SAME IMAGES OVER AND OVER AGAIN (THE FLASHBACKS). THE EDITING AND DIRECTING REALLY NEED MUCH IMPROVEMENTS. SAMMO HUNG HAD ONLY A FEW SCENES IN IT, TOWARD THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE MOVIE, AND IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS IN MOST OF THE CORNY SCENES TO KILL TIME. THIS MOVIE WAS ONLY DESCENT FOR THE 1ST 5 MIN, AND THEN THE REST OF IT JUST WENT FROM BORING TO EXTREMELY BORING AND CORNY/CHEESY. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME W/ THIS ONE.

Read More First off I don't know why they call it Dragon Heat. The cover makes you think its something other than what it is, don't expect much hand to hand fight as the cover makes it look like. It was one of those movies that just takes all reality away when it comes to police almost like how the movie Ultraviolet does though they are not alike but with the same lack of realism don't bother did not expect much in story or acting but come on.....action movie directors should watch the discovery channel and the likes of it more often on police and army tactics.

Read More The movie seemed like someone picked random elements from other action movies they thought were cool, and just lumped them all together, not realizing that there would be severe lack of continuity. The team is shown as being special ops, but the cops treat them like newbi rookies. In the first 'special ops' vs 'special ops' gun fight, neither one of the super expert never-miss snipers could hit the broad side of a barn - despite have a lock on their targets through the scope, the rest of the team was similarly incapable. A criminal who was arrested by the girl on the team while undercover, gets to show up while she's still in the morgue to cry over her. The good team is warned then arrested by local police, for chasing the bad guys AFTER the cops were killed by the bad guys. These are just a few of samples of the nonsensical items. The title has no relevance to the movie in any way. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

0 out of 0 people found this review helpful I watched this for Sammo, as I am sure others did, and I wasn't disappointed. The half-English, half-subtitles thing was annoying ... pretty funny considering most of the actors really couldn't speak English. I enjoyed the film, I thought the imagery was beautiful. The 'realism' was lacking, but I don't think that was the goal of the cinematography. I enjoyed Sammo as always, and am always amazed at how skilled he is. It's a decent ride with some beautiful and creative scenes ... flashbacks were unnecessary. I also enjoyed laughing at the inability of ANYONE to make a shot!WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It's a cop drama with some intense action and great story line. It has a original story line in the way that the mercenaries who rescue a captured crimelord only to ransome the crimelord to his older brother Tiger. It is a revenge story of a group of mercenaries who have an old debt to pay against the crimelord Tiger using his brother Panther to get revenge for a dead brother of one of the mercenaries.
The action scenes are some of the best work I've ever seen and I have to admit it was a great movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
