Legend Of The Dragon (2004/Cinema Epoch)

Some
titles are so generic that they never catch on and get so overused that it all
becomes a blur. We already reviewed a
DVD called Legend Of The Dragon and
it was an animated series:

Not to be
confused with that TV series, we now have a comedy feature from Cinema Epoch
with Sammo Hung of the same title and it actually wastes his time and ours in
an unfortunate tale about a major martial arts master who left his family. Most of this is about his weak son on a road
trip looking for him. In its 90 minutes,
Hung is not on screen enough and the comedy with and without him falls
flat. The result is a curio even
diehards fans will have trouble with.
The letterboxed
1.78 X 1 image is weak, detail-challenged and only saved by its color enough to
avoid an even poorer rating. The Dolby
Digital 2.0 is simple stereo at best and can be choppy at times in fidelity
consistency. There are no extras.
