*Mickey Rourke* and *John Lone?* Yes, please! This is such an underrated film 👍
Movie is a freight train that never stops!! One powerful scene after another!! Rourke at his charismatic best playing the kind of flawed “hero” that’s long gone from contemporary films. so
many memorable lines
and characters. easily one of the 80’s top ten
John Lone was absolutely amazing in this movie.
I really love this film and it is so highly underrated.
If you didn’t spend any time in NY or SF Chinatown’s in the 70’s and 80’s, this movie may entertain but will never be understood. It was literally the most Chinese centered (by a million miles) Hollywood movie before the Joy Luck Club. The research, sets, Chinese actors and extras- incredible. Add to it the on location parts shot in Thailand- if you know anything about the history of the Golden Triangle, you should be massively impressed.
Oliver Stone's dialogue crackles here
Fucking Great movie, Cimino's Craftwork, Screenplay by Stone and Mickey full throttle. Classic of the 80s
"Structurally a mess," you can say that again.
One of my all time favorites. 🇫🇮
Me as well
So Roger did like this. I remember when it came out and it got a lot of pans.
Well Roger never actually published a review of it, or at least it's not available on his site. The only place where he mentions it in his review of The Sicilian, he says he liked the film there.
It Hollywood way of giving Michael Camino way to save face after Heavens Gate.
Did he like the Sicilian?
God, all the Mickeys on the desk!!!!!!
Right❓Who knew⁉️
Employees of Disney must show allegiance towards Master Mouse under pain of death.
Maybe Mickey mouse was meaning of Mickey Rourke star in the film. Both name Mickey.
Michael Cimino's masterpiece, next to The Deer Hunter.
Your joking right? Heavens Gate was like watching paint dry.
@@stewartkee6115 Never saw that one.
@@ianbauer4703 your not missing much. Mind you I Loved the Dear Hunter.
@@stewartkee6115 The Deep Hunter was fantasy, drama for drama sake. Nothing like that actually happened in Vietnam.
I find similarities between Ebert's and Norn Mcdonald's accent. Can anyone explain?
The main point of the movie was for Cimino to redeem himself after Heaven's Gate. Didn't quite happen. After Year of the Dragon Cimino only made three more films. They received minimal fanfare and distribution. His final movie The Sunchaser (1996) went directly to video Stateside!
With all due respect this comes across as received opinion and revisionist history.
The factual explanation is the standard one for a commercial failure:
The studio thought it might make money, and it didn’t. They were not invested in Cimino “redeeming” himself.
@@earlygail I was NOT revising anything! I remember when this film came out- Entertainment Tonight was harping on it ONLY as "Cimino's first film after Heaven's Gate" And NONE of Dragon's other attributes were even mentioned!
Saw this recently on HBO max,...just laughing. The dialogue, bad acting, everything. 😂😂😂
You have no taste!!! YOu wouldnt know a good movie if it hit you in the a..
Good movie but yeah the Asian lady couldn’t act but looked great naked.
This movie felt like I was watching Clint Eastwood's racist grandpa from Gran Torino act out the Shutter Island detective plot. I was thoroughly entertained for the entire film but Im never watching that again lmao
I am a big fan of Rodger Ebert. But he got this one completely wrong
I just saw this movie. It was god awful! One of the worst crime films I ever saw
YOu have NO TASTE!
