Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung pioneered kung-fu comedy, and nowhere is their zaniness more evident than in DRAGONS FOREVER. Chan plays an amoral lawyer hired to defend a corporation polluting a local fish farm. He employs his friends (Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao) to dig up dirt on the fishery, but in the course of their hijinks, Chan and Hung end up falling in love with the people they are supposed to spy on. Despite the film's title, DRAGONS FOREVER is, sadly, the last film in the 20th century in which Chan, Hung, and Biao--former classmates in a Peking Opera troupe called the Seven Fortunes--acted together. It is also the only film where one can see them fight each other simultaneously. Yuen Wah, another former member of the Seven Fortunes, appears with the three "kung-fu-teers" as a cigar-smoking villain. The climactic fight features Chan against the kickboxing champion Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, in a rematch of their famous battle in WHEELS ON MEALS, which many consider to be the ultimate Chan fight sequence.
