Somewhat minor kung fu movie, but good.......2007-03-19

'Green Dragon Inn' has a well told story, very good acting, and slightly above average action. Yueh Hua plays a marshal who is sent to capture a murderer. The murderer's father doesn't want him to be taken to jail so he hires assassins to take out the marshal. One is Sze Ma-lung who is known as The Shaking Eagle in the UK for his oustanding fist forms, and of course because of his role in '18 Fatal Strikes'. So be sure to watch for the guy who is always looking to show off his iron fist. I could have used more action from The Shaking Ealge, but he is awesome when he does get to show off. Lo Lieh and Polly Shang Kwan also star.

While the action is good, it can be a bit slow at times. There is some good hand to hand at the end and Kwan is very good in her limited action. The fighting was more grounded than a lot of movies that take place in the martial world, and I can't complain about that. 3.5/5

Picture from World Video is full screened but watchable.

This is NOT Dragon Gate Inn.......2002-05-07

This film is listed under IMDB and Amazon as "Dragon Gate Inn". It is in fact a totally different film, and bears no relation to the classic 1966 film

Action-packed movie with lots of sword- and fist-fights.......2001-02-13

The story is rather simple: an arrogant warlord son committed murders and was arrested by a government marshal. In order to bring the criminal, the government entourage had to pass by an area controlled by the warlord. As his soldiers fell one by one and he himself got trapped in the Green Dragon Inn, the marshal not only had to face the formidable warlord, but also two mysterious strangers, a man and a woman. Will he escape with the prisoner?

The DVD is a no-frill pan-and-scan transfer of an acceptable print of the movie. It's dubbed in English, so don't expect emotive utterances by the characters. Since no one watches Hong Kong kung fu movies for acting talents, the acting is acceptable. The fighting is pretty good, with some inventive fighting. One of the few kung fu movies where the underlings (the typical red shirt Star Trekkers) behave with intelligence and initiatives.
