    I just can't bring myself to call "The Prodigal Son" great, even if it has greatness within it. The story is too disjointed, the comedy is a mixed bag and the kung fu...well, the kung fu is awesome. It's directed by Sammo Hung and stars Yuen Biao. IT BETTER BE FREAKING AWESOME. But it is and that's what we ask for, so "The Prodigal Son" is a success.

    Nevertheless, I still believe that “Dragons Forever” isn't for everybody. Many will complain that it's slow paced or cheesy and they aren't wrong. You can definitely tell that Jackie and friends were trying to expand their horizons by playing against type and focusing a little more on the drama. But I don't believe they failed at it and it's not like they abandoned their kung fu roots either. There is still a fair amount of action and it delivers everything that I want out of a Jackie Chan action movie.
