Genre: Comedy

‘Dragon Loaded 2003’ is a typical Hong Kong comedy with a little injection of romance, but never rises above the ordinary.

Chan tries to introduce the new quick-cut style of action alongside a significant measure of pure entertainment and humour.

Chan and Hung continue to substantiate their legendary status in the cinematic hall of fame, but it is Yuen Biao who really steals the film.

It’s very strange how such a well-polished and highly entertaining film has come under such criticism from some Hong Kong film fans.

Despite a few criticisms, Yee has crafted a capable film with a tender heart, something not easy to achieve in the cynical world of film-making.

‘Driving Miss Wealthy’ simply isn’t sharp enough or emotionally engaging enough to sustain the attention.

No one who claims to be a Hong Kong action cinema fan or a true Chan fan should be without a copy of this movie.

This is truly a masterpiece of the genre with Chan, who was approaching his 40th birthday at the time, on astounding form.

The weak plot and general ridiculousness are just too much to bear, and most of the star power winds up being utterly wasted.

The choreography is refreshing and innovative though the storyline is badly developed and cannot fall back on well-written characters.

Yuen Woo Ping weaves more choreographed magic into the narrative and allows the entire cast to show what they can do.

Taking a well-trod tale of unrequited love and combining efforts with current hot property Miriam Yeung, Yip imbues proceedings with an infectious air.
