Set on the stunning backdrop of Paris, The Kiss of the Dragon is non stop, classy martial arts action with Jet Li at his fabulous best.
The picture is sharp and if you have surround sound, turn up the dial to get the best effect.

Great action + good characters + simple but not stupid plot = top entertainment.
With a healthy budget and the guidance of co-writer/producer and Jet Lee fan Luc Besson, Kiss of the Dragon delivers right from the outset and doesn't stop until half of Paris has been destroyed and the streets are crowded with corpses.

Now, if you can live with that and live in the moment as these characters are doing, you'll find "Kiss of the Dragon" to be an entertaining martial arts film.
On the other hand, it's confusing, because we don't really get much in the way of character motivation and situational background.

I can't imagine that "Kiss of the Dragon" will play well in France.
Unfortunately, the bad guys in "Kiss" are so unbelievably brutal that the film is more of a long (and boring) cartoon than an action movie.

The movie stars the martial arts superstar Jet Li, along with Bridget Fonda and Techky Karyo.
Interestingly, Jet Li, the Asian martial arts superstar has produced and written the story of the film himself.

He is by far the most memorable element of Kiss of the Dragon , which is surprising....If Karyo applied himself, he could graduate to really good bad movies instead of mediocre bad ones..... ... Full Review

Kiss Of The Dragon [Widescren,Special Edition]
Now, Li is a lithe and likable chap with tremendous martial arts talent, but hes no Bruce Lee, either in build or in charisma.

The plot is relatively straightforward, so as not to distract from the incredible fight and chase sequences offered up by the fast and flexible Li.
It has revenge, some great fighting and chase scenes.

Jet Li gives a good performance and there are lots of good action scenes!
My Ratings: [Average / 3] Anonymous, age 17 This was a very entertaining film, but the sexuality at the beginning was not necessary.
It was a great storyline though.

However, even in the action department this movie completely fails.
Kiss of the Dragon" contains virtually no elements that make an action packed martial arts film enjoyable.
Karyo's best lines often feature the location of where Li is moving.
