high mind and big budget garbage . a ludicrous story of a gutsy and out gun crusader take on an evil gang and the establishment that do business with it . rourke ( hopelessly miscast . apparently the union run out of actor well suit to play 50 year old ) somehow be direct to huff and puff in order to make u believe that he re fight the viet nam war in the street of chinatown . ( i guess that this make year of the dragon a more pretentious iteration of the theme of the rambo movie . ) throw in a couple exotic oriental type and john lone and galaxy remove from the greatness of his star role in the last emperor and and a non act actress who be toss in merely to provide eye candy and to establish rourke character bona fides a a non racist and since he demonstrate that he be willing to sleep with some of them . a snooze worthy debacle . see it only to satisfy your morbid curiosity .
