Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for Invincible Dragon, a martial arts actioner starring Max Zhang (Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy, The Brink), Annie Liu (Hungry Ghost Ritual), Richard Ng (The Pilferer’s Progress) and UFC champ Anderson Silva.
Formerly known as both Made in Kowloon and The Man with the Dragon Tattoo, this martial arts thriller is directed by Fruit Chan (Made in Hong Kong).
When a brilliant but trigger-happy detective is outsmarted by a serial killer, he pays a high price for his momentary lapse in judgment. Robbed of both his fiancée and his job, he soon spirals out of control and goes back to what he knows best: fighting. Unbeknownst to him, a serendipitous reunion with an old rival (Silva) may be the key to unlocking the truth about his fiancée’s disappearance—and to apprehending the killer.

Oh, please let this happen. Anybody who’s ever seen Silva in a fight knows the guy can move. I think he’d adapt well to onscreen fighting. I genuinely think the guy could be the next Benny “The Jet” if the opportunity came up and he chose to pursue it.
And here we are…

Can’t wait for “Made in Kowloon” and “Ip Man 4”! Any clue what the name of that horror one with the demon creature is?

ANDERSON IS THE GOAT!
He might be the GOAT, but they should have dubbed that voice …
I’ve been reading reviews that make me think my excitement was misplaced. I know Fruit Chan specializes in unconventional films, but some people think he went overboard with an all over the place story and mystical elements that become real.
Supposedly, the showdown with Max Zhang and Anderson Silva is ruined by choppy editing and an over the top finish. Can’t wait to see who at COF reviews this.
I was wondering why we haven’t heard any word of a release from Well Go USA on this…
Considering how they sometimes distribute shit, they could still do this.
The movie was finished 2 years ago and for some reason had trouble getting released. Based on audience reaction, nobody was ready for a surreal, genre mixing fantasy cop film.
“Surreal, genre mixing fantasy cop film” – that’s the kind of thing you can get away with in a video game, probably not so much in a live-action movie!
Im not watching a film by someone called Fruit Chan.
‘Made in Hong Kong’ will change your mind.
This movie is terrible. I don’t care if it never gets released. The spider is a great fighter in real life, but he doesn’t look good fighting in the movie.
I really wanted this to be good, but literally every review I’ve read has solidified it as being a total dumpster fire. Is there anyone out there who’s watched it and actually enjoyed it?
“Is there anyone out there who’s watched it and actually enjoyed it?”
9 Fast ‘n Furious movies have been made and they all made money. Does that answer your question? =D
They’re better than this filth.
Looks only OK. Unfortunately, the wires and ramping make the fight scenes look too tampered with.
