This is a fantastic blu-ray copy of the film
and what a pristine copy it is: both the
picture and the sound quality are meticu-
lous !

A police detective cracks down on orga-
nized crime in Chinatown after the mur-
ders of Triad and Mafia leaders.

Best known for his 1978 film The Deer
Hunter, director Michael Cimino turned to
this fast-paced actioner set in an authen-
tic (back lot) Chinatown. This thriller stars
a rogue Polish-American cop (Mickey
Rourke) out to not only keep Chinatown
safe for the local consumers, but to dis-
mantle its deep-rooted crime and drug
cartels as well. No one backs the crusa-
ding cop in the latter objective, and as
he faces a suave and wily crime boss
(John Lone) and a libidinous newscaster
(Ariane), he may be taking on more than
he can handle. At least his wife thinks so
and the guys at City Hall think so but
mayhem and murder will strew the stre-
ets with corpses before the smoke clears
and the dust settles, and a vague, unre-
solved future sets in.

This urban crime epic definitely has style
to burn. Michael Cimino films the story's
events in a sweeping and sumptuous sty-
le and brings a real kinetic flair to the
film's action sequences. The character
of Stanley White is as selfish as he is ir-
responsible. There are a plenty of good
performances to reward the patient vie-
wer: Mickey Rourke puts the full weight
of his charisma behind Stanley White
and manages to make him compelling,
while John Lone is the epitome of sly e-
vil as his Chinatown nemesis. Their batt-
le of wills generates real dramatic sparks.

"If you are into intense and high profile
cop films, you will not find Year Of The
Dragon disappointing, not in the least.
It's the best in the genre."

"Michael Cimino’s ‘Year of the Dragon’ is
one of the most significant action movies
of the period."

"The best movie you never saw:
Year Of The Dragon"

"Who are you?"
- "Ask for Stanley White."
"Which Stanley White?"
- "There's only one Stanley White."

"I want the rice to boil over in Chinatown."

"How can anybody care too much?"
