Twin Dragons
Boun Banchongchit, staff writer
April 9, 1999

Ha ha... ha ha..ha... ha ha ha ha! Yes I was laughing if you wanted to know what that was, and for two reasons. First is about the release of this movie. Twin Dragons was released in Hong Kong in 1992 (seven years ago), but will be playing in American theaters nationwide on April 9, 1999. My goodness, you can just about head to any local video stores and rent this video if you don't mind the awful video quality and the subtitles. Second, I was laughing because of the ridiculous and sometimes corny humors in the movie.

But if you're looking for something that isn't serious, then this movie is right for you. As for me I might go watch it again, and hopefully it will have better dubbing and picture quality.

As for the movie's synopsis, Jackie plays a twin separated at birth and then encounters each other by accident as adults in Hong Kong. One of the twins lives in America and is a well-known conductor (John Ma), while the other is a street-wise garage attendant (Boomer) living in Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, they end up swapping identities and taking actions to save themselves from the Hong Kong mob. Throughout the movie, famous Hong Kong directors and stars make cameo appearances. However, if you're not familiar with famous Hong Kong stars, then these people will be just another face on the screen. Go watch the movie if you're not going to take it so serious. Rent the video if you just want to have something to watch at night.
