Jackie Chan Does It Again: Dragon Blade Dominates At Box Office

Legendary film star has done it again at the box office with taking $54.84 million in its opening four days and much more since.

The movie also stars Choi Si-won (Battle Of Wits), John Cusack and Adrien Brody and is based on a true story set in 48 BCE (China) about a Roman army who went missing whilst there.

An audience survey on the release of the movie shows that nearly all of the audience highly recommended Dragon Blade and some gave it very high scores of 10/10. They also felt like the movie was more Hollywood than Asian with big budget sets, also high praise for the fight scene involving Jackie Chan in the armed combat sequences. It's great to see Jackie still at the top with such a fantastic career and very much look forward to his future movies.

Plot:
The film set during the era of the Han Dynasty. Huo An (Chan), the hun serves as a commander of the Protection Squad of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. They are tasked by the emperor to maintain stability between the warring 36 nations in the Silk Road region. Huo An and his subordinates are framed by his crooked superior (Choi). They are sent to the Wild Geese Gate, a frontier town of the Han Dynasty and undergo forced labor. In the west, meanwhile, a Roman general named Lucius (Cusack) flees with his legion to the east. He smuggles Publius (Waite), heir of the Roman consul for the Parthian Empire to save him from death and a ploy by his older brother, Tiberius (Brody), who schemes to takeover the heir position of the Consul for himself. Lucius arrives at outskirt of the Wild Geese Gate, with plans to assault the frontier town with his legion – Wikipedia.

Hi my name is Justyn Hughes, I have been involved or watched martial art kung fu movies most my life. I started muay thai when i was around 4-5 years old for ten years. I became a fan of kung fu flicks after watching prodigal Son in the mid 90's and that blew me away. Some of my favorite stars are: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, lam Ching Ying, Lau Kar Leung, Ti Lung, David Chiang, Chen Kuan Tai and many more.
